Why not have one of those PVP servers with our old toons on it?
People who felt "behind", want a fresh start, new comers still have a great PVP server to flock to.
Cross Realm PVP would need to be held off until the other servers gear levels were up to par with the "old toons" server. Getting a BG to pop was never an issue even with 1 server and before this 6 months of publicity.
If there ever was a time that the "old toons" pvp server started having BG issues, it would be long enough down the road you could add it to the cross realm BG queue and gear levels should be equal by that time.
While there is a large market of "was a new 60, or was still leveling" that would love to see a fresh restart, it would feel like a smack in the face to the day 1 people whom invested 100+ days played between their main/alts. Those players (including myself) half already experienced the burn of reaching max (or close to it for some) gear/progression to have it all taken away while sleeping/working in 1 day.
The motivation may not be there for a good portion of the hardcore end game community to spend 6+ months to a year getting 50 people to where they were again on a server that already shut down at the blink of an eye.
Crestfall COULD surface as a competitor to Nost if players were not given an option to retain their previous toons. Such competition would be terrible for player base, splitting the vanilla community too far has adverse effects on end game raiding. We all know it is better to have too many trying to get into a raid rather than not enough. Have to beat the Roster Boss first.
