was there in pve server optional, chooce to put PvP flag on and turn off?

I haven't read all previous pages but i don't know why everybody cry about this news.

IMO it won't ruin the nostalrius experiences by splitting the population. I don't know if people realize that 7k people online is almost the population of 3 retail servers back to vanilla. With a PVE server the population will be around 4 to 5k on the PVP one and 2 to 3k on the PVE.

It doesn't seems wrong no?

Yes

I think this is a GREAT idea - the people who don't like it just stay on the PvP Realm!

[Pisshead]

Also, PvE is for casuals and makes 0 sense immersion-wise (oh there's an enemy, but I can't attack him unless he allows me to).

I don't see an enemy when i see another player, whatever faction he's in.

Well said

Have you seen the game trailer? One would think this game is about a war between horde and alliance. And nothing else really.

Have you ever played Warcraft III as where in the end both factions come together to fight the burning legion, archimonde and prince arthas...? Have you ever listened to thrall, when you got the ony prequest...? Where he tells you that mainly there is peace between alliance and horde only here and there a little skirmish...? Last time I checked thrall was an important character in tis game

ITT: People whining for reasons of personal preference and trying to spin it like a server-breaking issue.

Let the casual players go to the new server, it's not as if they do much more than take up space and make PuGs harder anyway.

this is one of the dumbest things i have ever seen. anyone who played vanilla wow knows that the cap at max was 3.5k concurrent players at once, even if the population split in half, it would be more populated than a high population retail vanilla server. stop your doomsday claims and false logic please.

Anybody thinking that a second server will in any kind effect the nost PvP-Server-Population in a way that would hurt the server is simply not smart. Vanilla servers were caped at 2,5k. We have 3.5k lowest and way way more on peek.

Also dont forget that new players will be attracted by the server.

Your argument is flawed, wow retail vanilla was not a private server, millions of people played it.
MMOS tend to die (but WoW didn't). In any case if it had died they could have mixed the servers into a fewer ones, like every mmo does in the long run.
On the private scene things are different, and once you split pve and pvp servers you cant mix them together when pop decreases.

It's not a problem that the population on both realms stalls at 3k. The problem is that it will go lower in the long run, and there won't be more servers to mix with.

WoW retail had much more than 2 servers at same time, meaning that they can mix them. We only have population for 2, if they are pvp/pve we can't mix them later.

There will be new people attracted by the pve server, but if those are the kind of player that can't cope with getting ganked, how long will they last in the game anyway?

Karrier, I did not say that. You are quoting someone else and naming him me?

I see tons of positive and negative comments here,but hey,most of you weren't here before Nostalrius was released and you don't know a thing yet about this server.Just the night before release,everyone was expecting 1000-1500 maximum online.And what happened? 2 hours after the release,server got Full (more than 5500 online players).So,don't be afraid of "splitting community",it just may turn better because players from other private servers will either join the PvE or PvP server.
