PvE Server thoughts

[Xaeminos]

I think PvE server would do good for the community as a whole. That being said, i don't want to see the population go way down. It's how realms start to die. I think we all know the stories of raiding guilds going to less populated servers only to break up and die due to natural attrition and not having enough people to recruit to fill their ranks.

I only played for the social aspect and loved seeing a billion people running around - forcing them to group up doing the most basic quests. That's the only thing I care about. But I'd definitely play again if there was a PvE server. Given my schedule, I have to afk at regular intervals. I almost always end up coming back to my corpse.

A lot of good points were made in this thread already.

My excitement for this PvE server turned to complete resent of Nostalrius within the time frame of a week. I don't understand their decision making. I can't tell if the Nostalrius staff is oblivious to common sense or if they are just too high on themselves to care. Either way this is a disaster, the forums will prove to be far more entertaining than actually playing their games.

The Nost devs have been pretty good about dealing with issues as they arise on Nost Begins. The fact that they're releasing ANY kind of PvE realm is a godsend that we shouldn't condemn until we see what happens when it arrives. I am sure there will be queues the first day it opens, but will everyone trying to connect to it be regular players or will many be current players who are just curious?

I'm not starving that much for a PvE server that I would eat any old rotten food they would try to feed me. Their current plans sound like it will cause players a lot more frustration than fun. If we've learned anything from them it's that they take their time with releasing anything, that goes for content and communication. So yeah they might drop the queue but I imagine that won't be for a year or so from now.

This queue system will piss people off big time

why to play on server with 2.5k if you can play on server with 7.5k.

Sounds like you know exactly how to run one of these projects. When can we expect your vanilla server to be released?

[Climhazzard]

Not sure if this has been asked in other areas concerning the upcoming PvE server, but...

Will there be linked BGs, like the battlegroups back in the day?

2.5k cap is the same as it was in vanilla retail. So that's nothing new. You want blizzlike that's blizzlike.
