PvE server

[Gonstackk]

Love all the mature responses from the PvPers.

You get used to it. This is a suggestion forum after all and thus this post was to suggest a PVE alternative for those who would prefer such a realm. Nothing more than such either, yet they come in here and belittle those that come here to suggest it. Going as far to make a second realm would be interesting particularly if they did cross realm BGs as I do not know of an EMU server that has this. Would it be more work, yes, but the question related is how much? The only difference would be the toggle of PVP and PVE, the real work would be IF they did it and added in the cross realm BGs then it could get complicated.

But a way to cater to those that wish to have PVE I do suggest something that the PVPers might like as they will be in control. Tie a quest NPC to the faction leaders that paying them some silver/gold will turn your character PVE for a period of time (12 hours, persists through death, engaging in PVP removes it) but if the leaders are dead then no-one can use the quest NPC. This will give killing/guarding the leaders an extra bonus in that no-one can be immune to the perils of others in the world.

I think a PVE serv is a good idea because 8 k ppl everynight...

sometimes you just have to step back and look at the big picture.
what is it that you play Vanilla wow private servers for?
the nostalgia, the community, the experience.

adding a second server, being a PVE one. implemented cross realm BG's. all of these are emulating a true WoW vanilla experience, nostalgia, and community.

I honestly do not see the issue because this is how it was back in 2005.

all these claims of having lots of people for dungeons, for pvp.
you do realize, pvp doesn't change in the form of cross realm battlegrounds.

finding dungeons was never easy to begin with in Vanilla wow. that is why you had to be fluent with the community on your server!
blizzard fixed this in later expansions by adding cross realm dungeons and dungeon finder to account for the "lack" of people to do dungeons with on the realms.

I really do not understand how people want to skew the WoW vanilla experience because they enjoy having 8k+ people on 1 server which never happened back in the day, or was capable of happening.

And just because your Vanilla experience was on a PvP realm doesn't mean that everyone else's was.

I think you misunderstood what I said.

adding a PVE realm is keeping with the WoW Vanilla nostalgia/experience.

my rant was towards the ones that want to have the server stay in the current unstable condition because they cannot even find a group for a dungeon or have a paranoid concern with pvp taking a hit.

if they add a second realm, its still going to be the most populated server.
quit being paranoid doomsayers.

Hey imba some people prefer wpvp over BGs
How are you going to have wpvp across multiple realms?
Just face the facts that most people play here for the population and quit trying to drastically bring the population down by splitting it.

[Gonstackk]

Why would the population go down by splitting it if the second server was PVE? Those that are here for the world pvp and pvp in general would stay and those that are not interested in that would go to the other server. To me that sounds as if you would rather have an 8-9K population server with a que that crashes every so often, render distance cut, instead of having a 7-8k server that is stable, no que, limited to no distance render issue. Do the major PVPers here think that the server will crumble with a mass exodus to a second (PVE) server?

Yes, and they'll probably lose out on ganking people who are leveling in non-optimized PvP gear and builds.
