A realm name "problem"

[Bioness]

Changing realm names will fuck up a TON of addons by the way. No thank you. The nightmare of re-configuring/editing addons after the implementation of the PvE server was enough.

There was a solution posted for that, it takes at most 5 minutes to fix.

Which is 5 minutes too much for something as trivial as this. I can't remember the last time I even noticed the Realm name during the 3 seconds I use when I log in.

Besides, for someone who is new to private servers (me before joining Nost) all those different names for the same thing is just confusing. When people talked about Feenix, Warsong and Emerald Dream I had no clue what they we're talking about.
Nostalrius Begins PvP/PvE servers made by Nostalrius staff, doesn't leave much room for confusion.

Not sure how you can get confused over selecting your realm.

I don't think you understand the suggestion.

Those names you mentioned weren't for same thing. Feenix,name which has nothing to do with wow, is server that has 3 realms that are related to wow lore : Warsong, Al'Akir and Emerald Dream. Anyone who ever played private server for more than 2 years already knows the names of realms and what they stand for.

You can apply same logic for retail. When go and tell my friend I played on Twisting Nether he has no idea what that means. Same would be I told him I have 2 chars on Ravenholdt too.
If you don't play there, ofc you won't know anything about it. Both of those names are, ofc, wow realms with different label. Imagine if WoW named it's realms by WoW pvp, WoW pve, WoW pveRP. WoWpvpRP ???

Yea... we got only 2 realms here. But please don't be so skeptical about Nostalrius. Almost year after launch it shows no signs of slowing down. I meet new players every day and I yet have to see online count go below 4500.

They obviously have no permanent solution for these laggs which, lets be honest, slowly start to piss everyone off. It's not huge, but it sometimes happen just when it shouldn't and causes you trouble which can cost you even a dungeon wipe (my own experience, lagged out on 34ms and pulled extra pack of mobs).
Herb / Ore spawns are another issue where I can see the solution in opening another realm and allow transfers to maintain the rates and blizzlike feeling.
We could easily witness opening of another pvp realm by the end of first half of 2016 due to these reasons combined, so Nost having 2 realms now could be easily changed in future.

How would that new realm be named. Nostalrius Begins PvP 2 ? Cmon... you serious? You can't be...

Without any solution to addon problems it takes less than 30mins to re-adjust stuff.
If that solution exists its even better. 5mins and get your settings back.

Why not? If that's gonna make Nostalrius look and feel more blizzlike, i'm all up for it.

Agreed. Addon configuration is a non-issue.

different names is just confusing.

Luckily, most people aren't so easily confused.

One question which will only support this suggestion:

Since the realm I currently play on is called Nostalrius Begins PVP PvP, how will you name The Burning Crusade realm?

Nostalrius Begins PVP PvP TBC ?
You are better than that...

I like the idea of naming realms with some kind of names or terms that give immersion. Actually, I don't think it matters much what other private servers do, as every community has its own culture.
Naming the BC servers by a different logic than the Vanilla one makes sense. It needs to be distinctive enough to make people realize on a glimpse that this is Vanilla and this is BC. Didn't retail have the language tabs in realm selection? Can they be retooled? I am not aware of how much modifiable the client is in this regard.

The naming could be anything related to Warcraft lore. Name the Vanilla ones after unique bosses, protagonists or antagonists of the vanilla version, move on to name the BC ones after BC entities - but I realize that this might overlap - hence why the suggestion with the tabs.

Other than that I don't believe that the 5 minutes of reconfiguring your add-ons is a big enough deal to cut out this idea entirely. As patches come or BC eventually, you have to readjust as well.

Yep, I realized it could mess up few addons.

I am willing to take that "sacrifice" tough, it's like 30mins of work to get it back as it was.

Make a poll regarding the matter. I'd vote for your suggestion.

Thanks for support.
So far only complaint we see is addon configuration and that really is a weak complaint imo.

I think this thread is enough on its own.
In case poll is needed, staff can make one and see what community has to say.

Again, none said NO yet. Some ppl are just "lazy" to reconfigure few addons

bump... would like to hear more opinions
