So Elysium or Crestfall?

The majority will stick with Crestfall, since quality always pays out in the end

Hahahahahahaahahha good one

Unless this Elysium thing takes forever to get off the ground, Crestfall will be the new Elysium in terms of population. Quality does not always win out in the end. Where the hell did you get that idea?

Also, funny that you would give the quality nod to a server that isn't in Beta yet. You read some dev updates and just assume it will be the best server ever huh? You're definitely new.

Why are so many people so hellbent on going to crestfall? Especially now when Nost 2 is literally gonna open its doors? I've been crawling around their forums a lot lately and i don't really see anything particularly special.

No reason to go to Crestfall now... Elysium will release the old nost chars (PvP + PvE), merge them with the current Elysium database, plus release a fresh new PvP server. Elysium will get the clustering system. Elysium will get all the anti-spam, hack, bot etc systems and all the bug fixes Nost worked hard on for the past 6 years. Combine that with Valkyrie polishing up their server for the past 8 years. What's Crestfall got that Elysium hadn't?

If I get my characters back, there isn't a contest here. If not, probably Crestfall. I'm not rerolling next to people who got their characters back if I don't get mine too. I then may as well fresh start on a server where everyone has to do it. I'll still be out of my gold that got robbed prior to Nost's shutdown, but it beats starting over, and the new staff might actually give a fuck about its players if it happens again. I don't know much about Elysium yet; I was following Crestfall.

But Elysium will probably be a winner now script wise because they'll inherit everything Nost worked so hard on over the years. As I've said numerous times these past few months, private servers never get any better because they always have to start from scratch. After fixing everything up (a few years of work), their hard work then goes right to the toilet because the next server doesn't get any of it. Each one must start over, so there's no improving default standard or innovation occurring. This will finally change. The code release will allow a quality standard for every new server, in far less time to deliver it. It takes years to make these things, which is then ultimately lost as the next server has to start all over for its own.

Where this is most important will be with exploits and hackers. Since each private server starts in the same shitty state, experienced players are always ahead of the game, bringing their prior programs or knowledge with them, to do it again on a new server that hasn't yet fixed it. Now a server can finally be ahead, by inheriting all of fixes Nost did the day it's launched.

While that was a decent pun, let's be bit more civil.

People who are going to Crestfall are the minority.
People are like sheep, specially in these situations, since Nostalrius is and will always be famous everyone will follow the herd and move to Elysium.
About quality, It's hard to say which one will be better, just the fact that crestfall has been under development dor 5 years does not prove anything.
Personally I'll be playing on elysium just because of the sentimental value I have towards my old characters.

[Skrofler]

Elysium states they will have a timeline for patches ready with the launch announcement. Still nothing concrete to suggest they will progress to TBC.
Therefore it's Crestfall for me, pending more info from Elysium.

Loot at the Kronos servers state atm with their alleged "better scripted" stuff.

[DrearyYew]

So happy I don't have to play on K2 anymore, the server is so bad I can't handle it anymore, not to mention how insanely casual the majority of the playerbase is.

The only question remaining is whether or not to start over on the fresh pvp realm...
