Increasing Population

[Valgatur]

You guys are so dumb n stupid beyond imagination... And yes the population is a real problem, good pointing of issues and possible solutions in the OP... I can't imagine playing with 20k players, so I hope the devs are going to create a new server soon!

[Tinkertown]

Even if they opened up a second server they shouldn't put queues on the old one. Either the player wants to leave for a hopefully less laggy server or he/she wants to stay on PvP1.

Server queues sucks. If you get your beloved 2nd realm you shouldn't need the old one to have a queue for you to transfer.

On retail you could at least play around the queue with accountsharing. Here you cannot.

@OP, stop letting retards get to you.

As for your suggestion, it would indeed make a lot of sense, BUT it seems like the Nostalrius management wants to have as many people as possible on one realm, so for us to get several region-based realms seems extremely unlikely.

Our best bet is to some day get a second PvP realm, but even that is probably not going to happen.

localised servers make no sense at all unless you prefer the server to be dead during night time

the staff will have to decide at what point they feel like the advantages of high population get outweighed by the disadvantages / annoyances

Tone it down.

Calling someone a "faggot" makes you sound really cool. Can I hang out with you in your Mom's basement?

Thank you. And yea as the pop increases it'll just get more ridiculous, hopefully they have some idea up their sleeve.

Well I don't think any of us would want queues lets be honest. But if you don't place a limit if you open a second server then what was the entire point of opening that said second server? Right?

But hopefully if they do go this route with a general second realm and no country/language restrictions like my first idea, then lets hope there's a decent pop on both to make it worth while. And usually when two servers form like I said, the "best" guild drama occurs, but most of the time those kind of people specially on Private servers more so then live, tend to be the asshats anyway. So the second server would tend to be my choice to go, hoping it would still be half and half pop on each or close to.

At first it was like "really bro?", but then I was just like hey, if they want to be destructive hopefully mods will see that. Most likely the "tester" accounts that posted are new accounts made just to troll so their real account can;t be found. But they have login IP's so joke is on them.

Personally I'd agree with you, I came here because 1) I heard its really decent scripting, 2) Decent amount of every nationality, unlike some servers where their dominated by one region so the chat is never english, and 3) the population.

But #3 is great and all, but once it starts getting TOO high, I mean vanilla is a WORLD based game, unlike live where everything is instanced, and theirs flying mounts. In Vanilla there's a lot of world bosses, world pvp, and zero flying mounts. So all of the action takes place in the world on the ground, in turn means it gets really crowded, real fast in some zones. So over population at some point will happen and it'll affect gameplay in a BAD way, since that isn't very blizz-like in any sense. Yes WoW had millions of subs, but when it started it had a couple hundred thousand, not every single one of those people were on ONE server, and for good reason.

The only time localized servers would make sense is if their is a LARGE number of players from said region(s) to not have the realm be dead at night since some no lifers/kids/adults off from work/etc will be on at night still playing. The localized server idea I only brought up if the numbers gave good cause to do so, otherwise Nostalrius would just be another dead private server like every where else. So I agree and disagree at the same time. Eventually something has to be done one way or another.

nothisisntmatt.. ha, no.

ur a faggot bro u should bounce !!!

especially in that case, they would make no sense, high laggy peaks are not desirable just as low peak times aren't. International servers are the way to go

you can also play on the pve server btw

No. Not right. If they open up a second server that would be because of demand for it. It doesn't follow that they should therefor make the old service worse.

If they open a new server then players can transfer to it if they think that is preferable and stay if they think that is preferable.

If the amount of transfers are really small it would just show that there wasn't demand for a second server. That most players prefer a server that at times has lag over a server with a smaller population. Putting a queue would create artificial demand by ruining the server for many users.
