Now is the time for Legacy community reunification

OK I'm trying to find out if they are going to do a data rollback, I've seen some posts saying it will be before most even announced the shutdown but the only official quote I find says, "You will be able to choose which realm (in case of multiple realms) that you will be able to transfer your character to and resume playing as if Nostalrius never left."

Personally I'd prefer them to literally transfer from the point it shut down so we have to recover from the devastating blizzard that blew through the realm of Nostalrius not everyone gave their gold away or deleted gear etc. Some of us continued to raid together or work towards goals after the announcement.

The DB will be from before the closure announcement.

I'd prefer the same, but that probably won't happen.. Just checked and saw that I got my epic mount 5-6 days before the server shutdown, which is just about when the announcement happened, and that would mean 1k gold grind went down the drain
Still hope there's a way to get that mount/gold back as I've got proof that I owned it.

...do the grind again?

In reality, you may want to start over on the new PVP server. We don't know how many are gonna say "fuck it; been too long" and reroll. Or re-roll because they wanted to experience progression they missed (joined late like me) and rolled on the PVE server because it was the only option.

Now that things have been pretty much settled, the focus of the community should be to decide which of the PVP servers is going to end up the 'populated one'.

((I, for one, would like to be lvl 60 when the AQ event starts...since it already started and I was 44. The idea of rerolling is slightly more appealing than picking up where I left off. But I don't want to play on a 'dead server'.))

Valkyrie WoW has been around for much longer than Nost, or any of us have played Private Vanilla WoW. I am concerned because they have never managed to put together a server that wasn't shit. Why was Nost's announcement an endorsement of a project that has a proven track record of aids? Crestfallen is unproven, but that has got to be better than Valkyrie.

Russian server with 150 ppl online. Would you start there to most likely become the only one person speaking english or another native tongue there? That was always the problem with Valkyrie.

I think you said it all with "Valkyrie WoW has been around for much longer than ... any of us have played Private Vanilla WoW".

Man, I can remember 2005 emulation where my warrior COULD NOT ATTACK WHILE MOVING. And Feenix, where the majority of "classic playerbase" was playing just a couple years back, with it's unheard of 1K online as their only pro and silly excuses for not being blizzlike for years, increased rates on everything and all that.

I think, It took most of the people, that left retail to try vanilla just recently or even discovered WoW for the first time just then, some time to realize, that the "fun" on the fun servers doesn't last long. That the game is about overcoming challenges. And that this is where all the actual fun is.

Some of us have had this realisation years back though. And with that perspective I really believe, that most people's vision is heavily clouded right now by the storm that Nost was. They just take everything for granted.

Point being: Valkyrie never managed to make a good server simply because the definition of "good" for most people was "international fun server with big online" until the latest time. And Valkyrie was always about being blizzlike - even if it meant being blizzlike for the 150ppl russians online. I guess, some people can't understand or appreciate that even now.

That's a bit of a bummer for guilds that continued to raid and got some great drops and for those lowbies that "just need 10g plz for X" oh well just a loss of 2 Bis I'll see them soon

Brace for doubled population caused by exposure from the shutdown

War Effort had not started on the PvP server. You haven't missed anything yet.

Elysium project confirmed over Twitter, they're having issues with their webserver - they'll be migrating to a new one, tonight.

[Ceremony]

see, you all when the servers is up.

[Shunin]

I know it's already done but elysium doesn't seem to be the best choice, they may have good scripting and a decent shop system but their schedule for release will be completed in a year! Would kinda hope a vanilla server would have more life than just a year. But just my 2cents
