1) If we have an account on elysium that was the same as our old Nostalrius account will that prevent character transfer? And will the current realmlist be the current one on Elysium, Nostalrius old one, or a new entity all together?
No, that will not prevent character transfer. They have not set out a solution yet, but it is a problem that they are aware of and that they will find a work around for. What I'm guessing is that if there are two accounts with the same name - one Nost and one Elysium - one or the other will be flagged for a change when you first attempt to log in. Likely it will be the Elysium account, but that's just my own personal guess. It'll be easier to set it up to automatically flag the account from one database or the other and Nost was bigger than Elysium was.
2) Will there be a level 60 requirement on character transfer? I will be fine (just started raiding on the PvE before the announcement) but my friend had a 50something, would his account be valid?
No, there will not be a requirement. They are migrating the entire Nost PvP and PvE databases. Every character you've ever made will be available. They said that generally speaking, if two characters have the same name, the Nost character will take precedence. It was also said that there would be some judgment used with that; the example given was that a level 1 Nost char would not take precedence over a level 60 Elysium char.
If you're talking about the PvE server, it's irrelevant. Elysium is a PvP server, so Valkyrie is not currently hosting a PvE server. Thus, there are no existing PvE characters that could have your name. Works out well for me, as my Elysium toon is Frostina, which is not nearly as exciting as my mage Frostitute on the Nost PvE server.
3) My old Nostalirus account was on an old trash email I have forgotten about entirely (even the name), will we still need that specific email? Hopefully not, I'd be screwed....
This one I can't answer, as I'm not on the dev team for Nost nor Elysium. You'll have to wait for someone more familiar with the project than I am to answer this.
4) How will naming priority and renaming go about? I'm fine with changing my name as long as my character is still in tact.
See the answer to question #2. Naming priority will generally go to Nost characters.
Sorry for the inconvienece and thank you for your time and effort. And once again I apologize if I have asked anything that has already been answered, I just would rather not wade through the shitposts.
Can't blame you. I only made it through about 15 pages of whiny shitpost before I gave up and came to the last page.
