PvE server

[napredator]

I see some people saying that the population will be split, thats true but the split will only be people who aren't interested in pvping, so basically your argument is you won't have as many people to gank. Wouldn't you rather have a server with people who are interested in pvp? isn't that the point of competitive play?

my suggestion would be to scrap the idea of making a burning crusade server because corecraft is going to hog up all the fame anyway and put those resources into a pve server, there's no contest so you'd be hogging up the fame for that

yes

your shitty carebear mentality needs to die or adapt

DEAL

WITH

IT

Wow, who replaced your TP with sandpaper?

It's pretty much a pattern with most of the PVP fans - judging by the posts (not to mention the in-game behavior), the PVP enthusiasts are predominantly children who never played real vanilla. There are clearly some more mature players who love world PVP - but they're a distinct minority on this server.

My belief is that much (maybe even most) of the player base is here for the vanilla experience, and not for the world PVP. If Nostalrius or anyone else opened a quality PVE server, most of the current server's player base would move there. That's what frightens the PVP fans so much - they have a captive player base here which is forced to endure the PVP server ruleset in order to play quality vanilla, and they know it. The thought of losing it scares them, and they react as scared children often do - with angry invective and screams.

I am all for world pvp but this server is insanely crowded which leads to complete disruption of leveling for hours and sometimes days at a time ( for me anyway). Every level 30 zone i have been to ( all but desolace) on my 32 hunter turns out to be little more than me getting corpse camped by ?? players who are also camping the gy when you spirit res. A pve realm seems like a no brainer. I would GLADLY donate for server space, time and effort required to make it happen, and I think a lot of people would.

Tbh i would even be happy with another pvp server to cut down the population and just reduce the frequency of pvp encounters. I really want to replay vanilla and this server seems to be amazing as far as scripting and bliz like content and stability, but being corpse camped 3/4 of my time playing is just ruining it .

I don't think corecraft would crush nostalrius idea of a tbc server since corecraft will release in 2050 and a high amount of players here only want to play tbc once.

As if corecraft's ever gonna come out

[napredator]

shit, i guess you're both right

[mike1097]

From this point of view they should just set the server to "Normal" (aka. PvE) to let the People who want it, do their pvp

It's a game, about two factions, two really warfanatic factions, but you want it to be a solo/group hugging soft bunny experience, makes sense.

there is an appeal to pvp servers, if they decided to convert it, the people protesting a pve server would have a fair reason to be angry.

also i thought about what you said but don't know what you mean

and a high amount of players here only want to play tbc once.

ignoring the fact that they won't release corecraft for 50 years what point are you trying to make? if people want to play burning crusade once why can't they just go to corecraft once?

[mike1097]

I wanted to say, that the population on nostalrius is very huge. If they would set up the server to normal, the population is still high enough to ensure world pvp.
Just because it would be disabled, does not mean it can't happen.
Like you said before the only reason why people crying here that they dont want pvp disabled is because they wont be able to gank lowies anymore.
So in this case pvp would become more competitive because you would actually fight versus players who want to. And not versus players who follow their questlines to do pve.

Regarding the TBC thing
For sure people could choose Corecraft but keep in mind this.
A high population can't await to transfer to TBC (in like2 years or so). They have fulfilled their Dreams about the nostalgic vanilla times and want to go forward.
Furthermore nostalrius staff has already shown what a high quality work they provide. So why should we play on a server where 2 people work on if we have THIS.
Just my opinion.
