Can we have a 2x EXP event at launch day

[carana]

Will it bring it more players? yes

You see, the point is, that community here does not want additional players that come here just because they get higher XP rate.

if 2x exp for few hours ruins the blizzlike experience i feel very sad for you lel

Don't you think it is sad that the main reason for you to join Nostalrius is that you will have XPx2 for 4-6 hours at start?

Who said the main reason for me to join this server was for the 2x exp? Have you even read the thread, or even that post? I specifically said i want to play it because its the newest vanilla server with great scripting

The whole reason I'm writing this is I've raided in guilds like Alixium and Exiled on different servers such as SC1/ED and a lot of the people who i played with just arent going to touch this server because of how long the grind is going to be

Any proof on that? I'd like to see some numbers backing that statement up.

Could you please elaborate on why that is sad? The only sad thing here is, that no one seems to be able to give actual arguments on why "2x EXP" is a bad thing and most people resort to saying toxic bs instead.

Yeah! instead of ending lvl 15 at the end of your '2x exp opening event' you'll end up 20.
That is said, it's just useless IMO. If you want to rush, do so, but do It with 1x rate.

@Ike

First:
You have for sure read forums here,
every idea of tinkering with server rules is facing strong negative response.
Thus this is your proof as per community general response.

Second:
Because Nostalrius is a vanilla server that aims to be as similar to retail vanilla as possible without the need of extremely intensive development effort (those guys are fans, not paid Blizzard employees thus for example talents setup)

so you have proven that

1. It will make no big difference
2. wont really matter to you

why not do it anyways then?
I have already said, it might bring alot my friends who are tired after many low rate vanilla servers come back, and this shouldn't be just my friends, vanilla private servers have been a thing for ages and some people are tired of it

Please, we don't want custom shit.

[carana]

Please, we don't want custom shit.

oh no, how dare we have custom content on a custom server rite?
we better make PvP 1.12 then instead of 1.4 too amirite?

[Shadowlurk]

arent going to touch this server because of how long the grind is going to be

I am about to die laughing. Why bother playing Vanilla if you or your friends are not willing to grind? And to answer your question about "why not do it"...

IT IS NOT BLIZZLIKE AND WE DONT WANT IT

i'm jealous of your sense of humor lel

They are willing to grind, they are willing to grind for consumable mats 3+ hours a day, wiling to spend 110+ hours leveling the content they did for 4 times in a row, just this time maybe they can shave ~10 hours off that 110 hours
They already did up to naxx two times, and with the hype ED recieved (turned out to be meh) a lot of people have, and they also leveled one x1.
A lot of people are tired of grinding again, and if we have a x2 event that will hardly matter in the grand scheme of things (10 hours reduced out of 110~120 total hours spent leveling) it might interest them, simple as that.
