Message to the private servers community

[TOVAR]

Facts:

Servers such as these do not gain popularity through traditional marketing means. Most if not all new members find their way here via word of mouth. Friends telling friends that then go on to tell more friends! That means the more people play to begin with the bigger the snowball effect will be and the more new players will steadily join the community.

Agree. Currently I am playing on Kronos (Nos overpopulation drove me off). Of the 33 guild members online 20 minutes before the PvE test, NOBODY had a clue what am i talking about, PvE what? Where? Same thing in /world chat. After announcing the event, I got an avalanche of whispers asking about details and how could they give their support to the test. So, there are many players on other servers interested to play on an PvE server but have no clue such thing exist/is about to be launched. I suppose all those homeless players from Ascension Wow (PvE server that was closed recently) have no information about the test either.
The 1720 people online are NOT an accurate representative number of potential players on the PvE server.
There will be many more in time.
Contrary to some other opinions,i do not believe that PvE wow-ers are getting bored too fast. On the contrary, on PvE servers people usually play more casually, no need to rush things. lvl 60? I am there when I am there. No need to rush to 60 to start raiding ASAP and farm epixx so I can be PvP competitive. take it slow.

The "we" thing has me confused. Maybe it's a typo.

*shrug*

Whatever the decision, I just hope we find out soon. I've zero desire to log into the PvP server right now, when all I care about is the fate of the PvE realm.

And if they are going to release it, I'd think giving as much advanced notice as possible would be a good thing, as it would add more time for the hype train to build momentum.

I'm in the same boat. I have no desire to play on the pvp realm currently. My wife and I are waiting with anticipation for an announcement. When it happens I'll be making a hefty donation to the Nostalrius team...

Hope there is an announcement soon, all i do now is run around goldshire giving out free cats and dropping infernals in the meantime.

New here, I hope that this PVE realm comes to fruition among the sea of PVP realms galore out on the market. It would give players who are looking for a blizz-like, Normal realm-type experience without having to resort to one of the many dozens of PVP realms that currently exist out there. It would give everyone more options, which is what the private server community needs as a whole, in my opinion. I know a few friends that would love to jump in on the action....but they're limited to PVP realms and are put off by the ganking and what not. If the PVE realm is released, I will have some very excited and happy friends willing to come and try it out!

I intend to play on Nostalrius only if the PVE realm is released, and I certainly hope other servers on the market take notice of this and learn a lesson. The more choices that exist, the happier communities will be. I hope to even see RP realms in the future, if possible! I love that Nostalrius has become one of the first big private servers out there willing to do this, and it says a LOT of good things from the staff as a whole because they are attempting to create a PVE server to accommodate folks like me who dislike levelling on PVP realms.

Anyways, I made an account and participated in the 30 min time period the test server was up JUST to show my support for this, and I would have had my friends come on had they not been busy or had the client downloaded in time. I hope/pray the server gets released so I can bring em all over for a break from PVP servers and to get to experience the PVE one. Have a good day, and best of luck to everyone and the staff!

Free cats? I'd love a free cat! Cats are hard to come by in the Dwarven homeland! (I have an odd suspicion that the Gnomes ate them all...)

Yes, a PvE server would be really nice, I know tons of people interested and who were thrilled by the ideea.

[Alphaconstruct]

I'm an adult with a full family (wife + teen-aged 2 sons) and I work anywhere from 95 - 120 hours per week. I hate retail WoW since late Wrath. I don't get much time to play. When I do get the time, I don't want to be at the mercy of some ****head little punk who gets his laughs by killing people 10-20 levels lower. It took me THREE WEEKS to get those go**amned Charred Vale quests finished.

Make no mistake about it, I *love* pvp. However, I love to pvp when I want to pvp. If I feel like it, I can queue for a BG or /pvp flag.

Also, in my opinion, pvp server communities are made up of the worst bottom-feeders that online gaming has to offer. Rampant casual racism, hate speech, non-stop arguing, grossly inappropriate vulgar speech, and so on. I know this exists everywhere on the web, but all that nastiness coalesces at the bottom of the gaming world to rest on pvp servers.

Mention not liking being ganked in game, see what happens. Get called a bitch or a pussy. Get told to go play retail (somehow, that's some huge diss?). Get ganged up on by a bunch of douchebags because you don't like the same thing they do.




I'm angry that there wasn't more promotion for this stress test. No mention of it in game... at all. I only found out today because I forgot to turn off chat. I think the would've been higher than 1700 log-ins if they would have made more of a to-do about it.




PVE NOS SERVER? YES PLEASE. DO HURRY!
