Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I am level 16, and leveling in the barrens is taking absolutely forever because of all the quest mobs being dead constantly. I can't level mining to save my life because all the nodes are gone. 10k is starting to really become a pain I think, lag included. Should I just cut my loses and restart on the PvE with its lower pop? I just don't want it to always be like this.

If these problems are bothering you at 16, it isn't gonna get better, if I was you I'd start an alt on the pve server and at least check if switching is something you want to do.

In my opinion the server is too full.
I would play on the PvE Server but I dont have the time to level up another character.
Sadly the PvE Server wasnt there since release.
I would have choosen the PvE Server then.

You might as well switch over now, it'll just get harder to justify to yourself the more levels you gain, and 16 is nothing, thats a weekend or less.

As I've suggested atleast 3 times on the forum now, is they really should concider opening a new Vanilla PvP server. So many people are rightfully pointing out these things.

But hey, they don't have it in their planning and they shut down every thread that suggests it a.s.a.p.
They may look into it - if these problems persist - once they release TBC server but literally nobody knows when that will be. So don't count on that.

I feel like it would be a good idea for not just me and you, but for a lot of people to switch over to the PvE realm.
Alleviate some stress from the massively overpopulated PvP realm with 13.000 people on peak times, at the same time populate the PvE realm more, and if we want to do World PvP we can always arrange that in guilds and forums.

OFF TO THE PVE REALM ERRBODY.

Thanks for the replies guys. Just wanted a second opinion. Have fun out there!
