Hey, hello.
I have played on several tbc private servers during the years. One of them were the sunwell.pl's server Nightbane.
Well, as usual the launches are always messy. But overall, the Nightbane server were in good shape. Atleast that was my experience. Yes Karazan had its issues.
I really enjoyed Nightbane, the scripting was good and the player population were superb. However the population started to decrease somewhat after a months, and finaly depleted in nearly three months in.
This is why i am writing this thread. I spent many days grinding to get my gear into the best possible scenario for my purpose in TBC. - The Arena.
I knew a few hardcore pvpers from another server (Lightshope) who also happened to play on Nightbane. I spoke with them about the pvp situation and the population situation.
Their answer were that too few people played arena. The queue's were somewhat slow and overall, not enough people in the pvp community.
This is my last world of warcaft expansion i will play. And i want it too last more than two months. Can we somehow help the PvP community to survive. Dont stare blind on the PvE scene.
I dont know how to keep it alive, but atleast be aware of its pulse time to time, and if its going down it could be too late to revive it.
