To everybody asking for a 2nd server.

don't judge OGtucker for his opinion.
I agree that population does make a huge difference.
then again, once your rich with population.
how is shedding a 1,000 or 2,000 "new" people affect an already "rich" population.

its like trimming the excess fat so you can walk down the hallway to your bathroom without heavy breathing and sweaty palms from playing this game.

let that fat grow elsewhere.

For Example:
Nostalrius Currently:


Nostalrius Maybe:


thoughts?

This is gold.

what about world pvp?
what about finding groups?
all im saying is that if they open another realm they will lose a lot of active players and both will end up dying.

I'd wait for it definitively to go over 10k.

At that point a 2nd server would be needed. I think pushing 8-10k can be handled with hardware and it really is a nice amount of people especially with a BWL release.

At 8k there is bad lag, at 9k I see it being unplayable

... yes because we didn't survive when the server released with 5k players amirite? There are servers with a QUARTER of our active population that you don't have trouble finding groups for stuff and having wpvp.

OGTucker the private server prophet.

and the server released with like 2500 or so for the first week.

and the only thing that will make Nostalrius lose active players is by delaying content and bug fixes.
but that is a whole different can of worms.

Or by having unbearable lag and frequent disconnects all day long, oh wait, we're headed in that direction right now if nothing changes!

Except world pvp will still be the wild west, you will still find groups really easily, and both realms will still have TWICE as many people as a standard WoW server...so... your concerns are essentially nonexistent.

I'm all for a second server if it means that it makes playing during peak times bearable.

Last night at peak hours it took me and my wife from 5:30 until 10:30 just to enjoy the questing aspect of vanilla in Westfall, there was at least at any one point 20+ people trying to compete for every quest every mob and every item to pick up which kind of dragged down the experience. I would be happy if they made a second server and would not even care if I had to start over.

A population split would not really hurt the currently server nor would it hurt the new one, on average there is over 7k people on the server at peak approx. 2-3x the amount of people that were on vanilla servers when first released and for a while after, in fact they had to create new servers in a rush because of the MASSIVE influx of people they got, this server is no different the more this server builds up the more people that will come, having a server at a low point of 1.5-2.5k people on a vanilla style server and at peak 3.5-5.5k is more that enough people to still enjoy PvP and enjoy Pve. Those who think that splitting the server will hurt it are more than delusional it will not hurt it one bit, in fact it will help more than hurt, lag will go down and it will split the trolls and gankers up so there will be less of this going around.

I have a feeling all the players asking for a new server aren't even close to 60
