Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I'm new here -- I don' expect anybody to listen to me. But god damn this is one toxic community. Not the best way to make people want to roll on this server.

Yes, ganking and camping happen -- is, has been, and always will be the way of a PvP server.

Yes, it can suck.

Yes, some people take it too far.

Yes, some people are just complaining too much an want a nice, easy, wrathbaby version of Warcraft.

From what I see, some people are voicing legitimate concerns and being met with douchbaggary -- Other people are just complaining and offering no solutions. Some people just want to bitch about an awesome, free service.

But like - Can' we all just step back and try to be civil about it?

I've been trying to level all day today. I've gotten ganked in every single zone that is 50+. I've tried finding a good nice area to grind some cloth and get some peace, only to have a Rogue jump and destroy me. I do not even have a chance to fight back. I hearthstone to Menethil and I get destroyed by a Rogue in the inn waiting to kill the high levels loading in.

I don't know. I cannot play this game. Its not even a game anymore, its a graveyard loading screen. Today I am counting 5 honorable kills for. In turn, I've been ganked 154 times over the course of 6-8 hours.

** The above stats are according to Titanbars. **

I give up. I cannot do this anymore.

Forums represent maybe 10% of the server at most. People post shit to get a response or to get at someone. Welcome to the internet.

That sucks, really it does. Are all your characters the same level? Are you interested in just getting to the end game content?

Have you tried rolling a new toon/class for a little while and try coming back to your main character later?

I mean, this is a game -- the point is to have fun. It would suck for a friendly player to leave because of jerks.

You have a valid point! All the people I've come across in game have been great.

If I experience what Jinxed experienced when I hit 50+, I may also quit. I don't want to level 1-50 all over again; I want the toon I invested so much time and effort in to get to 60 so I can run the dungeons and raids I miss the most. I also don't want to reroll Horde to further exacerbate the problem this server appears to be having.

Definitely not a solution I support! But I have nothing better to offer.

Aside from bans -- but that is not my decision to make, nor one that I think the community would support. Not bans for greifing, or even minor camping. But camping to the point it becomes harassment, that could be bannable... If I were in charge, possibly.

The toxicity here kinda surprised me too, to be honest.

First of all I played on Kronos before, where the maturity is a bit higher. But low pop so I swapped to nost.

Many people here, and I am one of them, complain about the current situation.

It is very frustrating to try level when the horde players have a nice working system to make it extremely painful.

And horde players who argue against it are really annoying, ofc they dont understand how it is to get corpse ganked while trying to take boat, trying to take a quest, and where ever you, what ever time you try, it doesnt get better.

The few 60's we have rather chill in ironforge with their instant queue and asking for help in world chat gets mocked. People mock you for asking for help in world chat.

It's clearly many childish players here, on both sides. But no thread in the world can change it, im sorry.

Ether accept it and fucking grind it out, or swap server.

And NO this experience is not even "almost" blizzlike. This situation is NOTHING like it was back in retail. I played on several servers up to 60, so I know what Im talking about. You could play on server times when normal people sleep, and the balance was better, horde/ally ratio. Putting ganking in system, exploiting bugs like gadgetzan roof didnt work out in retail. My friend for example did that, and got warned from GM they would ban his account if he didnt stop it.

Here on nost, the staff dont give a shit, the server is overpopulated, the ratio sucks, did I mention many players are rude and childish so asking for help will piss you off rather than get acctual help from the 60s flexing in ironforge?

I tried for an entire day to play and where ever I went there's no way I could do quests or survive while grinding.

My tip to Alliance, look around for lower populated servers if you cant handle it.
If u got the patience to get 60 , do it now and insta QUE for several weeks. Good times are comming.

And my final words, for all hordes who are running around in blasted lands, felwood, ungoro and other zones, killing easy preys trying to level up. Burn in hell, ur a disgrace to this server. If u had some values at all you would leave lowbies alone for a while and focus on gearing up in dungeons, farming gold. Pathetic losers

Corpse and GY camping is not harassment.
It even says that if you click the question mark in game and press harassment

What dream world are you living in son? Back in the days you could get banned for GY camping people.

So I guess the blizzard staff shouldnt have called GY camping harassment, by your logic.
