Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hello Pottu. Need to know something that is actually very important.

I don't exactly remember the day of Nostalrius shut down's announcement, that day people started to sell their stuff, spending their gold, doing stupid things etc...

The transfer is going to be exactly as the database was when Nostalrius shutted down? Or you will recover it to few days before the announcement?

In my case i spent my gold which was pretty much shit but apart from that , i got a wep 1 week before Nostalrius's end. So... at what day is going to be recovered the database? (sorry if you dont understand this without problems, my english isn't that good)

He confirmed in another thread that it is the saved character data from before the announcement. Probably at most the day before the announcement because they probably predicted people would delete their accounts and what not.

That is so damn perfect. I love you Nostalrius staff.

I know the AMA is on the 13th and unfortunately I will not be able to attend. I do have a few questions of my own if Pottu is able to answer them.

What is Elysiums stance on cheating? Bottling, gold/character selling/buying, account sharing, multiboxing, prism charm, gambling, etc.

What will happen to the gm's who's character identities have been revealed?

Have they considered delaying the release of the fresh start server by a month or so to prevent a Kronos I?

The rules template of Elysium is basically a 1:1 copy of the Nostalrius one. A little change was made with Multiboxing, everything else *should* be the same. Haven't read it since the first release of the adaption.

There are without a doubt no GM's that you know the identity of. A lot of former Nost Staff joined there, but also a few under a new name.

GM's also don't say anything about their private characters (if they have any), while they're GMs.

Apples and oranges, those are two different server types with two different rulesets.

As to the fresh server launch, the tentative plan is to launch all 3 realms at the same time. We are aware of that Strawpoll going around that shows most interest in the fresh start one but there are literally thousands of Nostalrius players who have not voted in it and might not even be aware of the upcoming chance to replay their old characters. Let's not paint demons on the walls quite yet - we will have stress tests as we get closer to the launch to gauge interest in the three realms as well as test our systems.

Master Pottu, the argument with the "thousands of Nostalrius players who have not voted" is moot, really. We both know that the real community and fanbase had open eyes and ears all this time and already voted, so those thousands who didn't vote can already be well established on Kronos or other servers, or wait for Crestfall or simply gaved up. I hope your team realises that it's impossible to gather again the exact same players that played on Nostalrius before. And if they will return, they will do it either later or not at all.

Also, don't forget that we have thousands here, already, who voted for the fresh server, last time I checked we were almost 2k. Just sayin'.
