I think the new hardware tested would be better used in loading balancing the current server and supporting the massive population.

As others have said, one of the major drawing factors of Nostalrius is the huge active population. I do not believe reducing the population, which is inevitable when you add a new server, is a good idea.

Let's make the current experience on Nostalrius even better instead!

I'm not a PVP fan, and would absolutely love a PVE server, but no transfers kills it for me.

I've got a 53, 43 and multiple characters in their 30's, and at this point I'll take the annoyances of a PVP server to not have to go and re-level all those characters again. So I might still login just because I believe that a PVE option should exist, but I really hope you'll reconsider on the transfers front. It's not like people can transfer their decked 60's across and gank people. The only trouble comes from the economical side of things, and surely you can find some way to limit gold and whatnot to make it viable.

Cheers regardless!

How is this going to kill the server? Vanilla servers were 2k-3k.

Nostalrius is 3 times that, the players will flock to the new server and we'll finally have a steady population.

One of the reasons why Nost is so popular is because of the huge population, the server/s will definitely tank, if the community splits.

Grats on killing the server Nostalrius, how stupid are you?

We trusted you not to make terrible mistakes like this,

the beginning to the end

You sound like a retail nub.

"Waaa a change I dont like is killing wow Waaaa!"

Maybe you didnt notice, but changes killed retail.

Its dead? Maybe thats why it has the most subs of any MMO ever and is releasing ANOTHER expansion.

Almost the only good thing about this server is its population, and you want to cut it.

As it was already stated, 1-2 years from now you'll have 2 dead realms instead a decent one.

You are listening to "people who wont roll on a pvp server cause they get ganked constantly" .
Those ppl gonna quit soon anyway, they are not solid wowers, if u liked vanilla u would already be on this pvp server - even if u need to do some corpse runs to get to 60

The situation won't change much in the clsoe future.
But look at long term. Do you really think the server population will remain as huge in the upcoming years?
What will happen when the server hype goes down ... Nostal global population (with 1 or several realms) will eventually lower and it's at that point that having the population spread will really damage the global vanilla community.
Just look at what happened to feenix. If they had only one realm when the population started going down, it wouldn't have died as it did.

Not sure why people are against this. This new server isn't going to make people reroll who already invested time on the PVP realm.

The PVP realm will still be the more popular one.

[dj33mi]

there wont be big guilds on that realm, progression will go really slow or 0. vanilla wow means pvp aswell not just pve. what about world bosses? u team up horde and alliance? share loot?
vanilla is about playing this game as it was with its hard parts , and getting ganked is one of em. if u dont like it u are free to find a cataclysm or + server and join it.

making a server for ppl who ocassionaly play or they just casual wont make them play game better or fit in better

[cmill78]

Those ppl gonna quit soon anyway, they are not solid wowers,

So......the server will lose them whether it's to the new PVE server or they quit? What's the difference, then? And if you believe the PvP server will continue to survive without those "ppl who gonna quit soon", what's the harm in having a PvE server? Quitting or migrating......neither has a profound effect in your eyes so why complain about the creation of something a part of the community wants? Unless, of course, you are one of those tools who loves to camp a player 35 levels lower than you because you suck at real PvP..........on a PvP server......

As a player who enjoyed WoW retail around release, I seem to remember 40 some servers that were filled to capacity forcing Blizzard to create 40 more servers to keep up with all the players accounts. I am also fairly certain they all weren't PvP servers. So unless you are speaking solely to Nostalrius being about what you posted (which would be silly as you are not that servers creator) Vanilla has never been about "getting ganked". It's about giving players an immersive world to play in, in the style they wish to choose; and PvE was one of those choices (along with PvP and RP).
