PvE Server thoughts

[Holmes]

We don't have any release date to provide yet; an announcement will be made in a few weeks.

first of, i think this might be debatable if this is good or not. it obviously takes some time to set a new server up and get it ready, but an announcement in a few weeks can not only be a technical result.
this means the pve realm will launch in ~2 months; why? are they trying to build more hype? will the pve realm get any other fixes to make it better from the beginning?

This server population will be limited to 2,500 players with a queue;

i dont know if this is a wise decision. while it is good because its blizzlike, it might frighten those who prefer high population. and especially when you're thinking about nostalrius future and the very likely case that it will lose population over the years, limiting it to 2500 might be a bad decision, cause the puffer it will have downwards till the population is too low simply is tight. and even if the 2500 limit never gets reached, which is quite possible, its bad advertisement. i would prefer and suggest a 3-4k pop (limit).

another huge negativ aspect of limiting the pop to 2500 are the currently bugged herbs and veins on the pvp server, which makes them ~3 times more accessable than on a vanilla blizzlike realm. while this is OK on the pvp server, since its pop is 3 times bigger too, shrinking the pop to a blizzlike limit, but keeping the bugged herbs and veins would definitly result in inflationary consumables. this has to be fixed, if you actually limit the max pop to 2500.


as it will take several weeks or even months for the pve server to launch, and the staff seems to want to make it more blizzlike than the pvp server, i wish they would take that time and fix more things for the sake of blizzlike before they release it. such as making black lotus BoP, make flasks expire on death, and so on. im sure theres a lot more you could find if you're searching for it and i wish the devs will do this.

amen.

With a 2,5k player cap I won't level there. I've been on 3 servers in my wow journey with a queue and this was the most horrible thing I could imagine.

There will be annoying queues for neverending hours every goddamn single day!

Yet the interest is overwhelming and they still want to make a video and "spread the word" to hype thousands of players?

There will be a queue for the queue !

So you are saying that most people enjoy having half a second server lag with 7k people online? Who is this going to "frighten"?

I like sitting in a queue, it's very vanilla

maybe they should already prepare another 2,5k pop server in case the first ones queue is going sky high

its hard to tell how this 2,5k pop limit will actually take effect. maybe there will be a horrible queue, maybe it will not even be reached. but right now, it defenitly is bad advertisement because it probably appears to be "too low" for most ppl

I'll rather take a 2-3hr queue than dealing with anything higher than 3k+pop. At the end of the day its a matter of opinion, I personally like to have a chance of nodes/herbs to farm,mods to kill and so forth.(aka the way the game is suppose to be played, the game that I used to know and love)

Not sure why hype + videos are needed. The server will be queued as it is.

Not sure why they'll be fixing stuff on it, nice way to alienate the current PvP server players.

Expect an announcement in a month+ and a release date around Xmas. If CC releases this year at the same time, queues won't be a problem.

The fact that out of 40 people,atleast a few will logon the last minutes before raidstart, if you raid at standard times you'll always have some people stuck in the queue during the first hour of raid-time. And you always have to think about the queue, during breaks or long fp's you cant go AFK for too long or end up in a massive queue, this rarely happens but in my experience theres always someone in the group of 40 that messes up, murphys law

Post probably obselite as i think server will peak 1k after two months.

I hope there will be a "reconnect system". If you have a dc by your Internet / pc that you can login without a queue.

Queue + Multi account = Mess.
