PVE Realm

[Durandal]

Don't spam insults.

i love how he leaves this retarded thread up along with all the other ones on general with alliance qq'ing, instead of locking those he goes around editing peoples post.
people need to get thicker skin its the internet ffs

not going to happen, before the mainstream use of the internet over sensitive people either killed themselves or huddled in a corner, the internet lets these people either A) wield power over those who would tend to "bully" them ( I use this term loosely, everything counts as bullying now a days) B) children

notice how EVERY thread popping up crying about WPvP are alliance shitters

tip to alliance players, roll paladin, problem solved

I am really happy to see that staff took our suggestions into consideration, remains to be seen if this will fix the situation with gankers.

I vote for a PvE realm.. if there was one, I'd move (or create new characters) there.

World PVP is a huge part of Vanilla though?

PvP servers are the genuine World of Warcraft experience.

The entire point of the game, the entire lore of the game is the conflict between the two factions. The game has its roots in the RTS series, which was the very definition of PvP. The game effectively captures and generates the emotions that go along with this kind of conflict. Fear, distrust, paranoia. The World of Warcraft is not a safe place, and shouldn't be. It's alive, with real people in it who can be unpredictable. Mobs follow nice set rules that you can know and use accordingly. People do not. That red name means you might be killed. Or you might not. Maybe you should kill them first just to be safe? Oh no, there's two of them now, and they're running at me... but here comes three of my faction! I'm saved! Victory, brotherhood, justice!

PvE servers are an extremely neutered experience. You don't really need anyone else, and you're perfectly safe so long as you stay out of the predefined mob paths and zones. PvE servers were included in Blizzard's plan because they wanted the money of people who don't like PvP as well. They were willing to sacrifice and dilute the WoW experience in exchange for more profits. And there's nothing wrong with giving a paying customer what they want. Nostalrius, however, has no such monetary motives. They only want to provide the genuine WoW experience. And real WoW includes world PvP. PvP you you can't turn off with the flip of a switch. PvP you don't get a choice about. That's the War in Warcraft.

But they aren't in any way unpredictable - the actions of players on PvP servers are tiresomely predictable, and make the game unplayable to many.

It seems you are trying to present your personal opinions as historical fact - otherwise please provide quotes from Blizzard game designers stating that they originally wanted only PVP servers but decided to "dilute the WoW experience".

Nostalrius, however, has no such monetary motives. They only want to provide the genuine WoW experience. And real WoW includes world PvP. PvP you you can't turn off with the flip of a switch. PvP you don't get a choice about. That's the War in Warcraft.

All of us - PVP and PVE server fans alike - acknowledge freely that the Nostalrius admins have every right to configure their server however they please, and have said so repeatedly. It's their personal property and of course they should do what they wish. But it's beyond absurd to pretend that PVP servers have anything to do with real war - opposing military forces in real life do not consistently try to avoid each other and try to farm promotions by uselessly murdering trainees incapable of fighting back.

Alliance and Horde on a PVP server can't actually have any PVP in BGs or in the world without each other - but PVP servers end up with less BG PVP and often less world PVP activity than on PVE servers because people flee one faction in droves so they can quest and level in peace. Check the faction imbalances on every PVP server that has existed for a while.

I ask for it too, its a matter of freedom when we play. We can gather in bg anyway.

If Nos ever felt the need to open a second server, they could try PvE since I don't think it's been done before.

I think too many would go there rather than struggle on a PvP realm though, hence why so many against it. World bosses would be...interesting, world pvp would be organised and the rest conducted through BGs, nodes wouldn't be contested through pvp but through sniping. And I bet it'd be predominantly Alliance...

A lot of interesting possibilities and while I'd stay on the PvP realm, PvE realm would be a good consideration if the original server gets too crowded or too many people quitting.
