Summer

Is there any way to access your forum archive? Im looking for our old guild recruitement threat after the relaunch (January 2017) but somehow im only able to find the threat from the old elysium forum (september 2016) or did you use a different forum after the relaunch but before the light hope thing went down? thanks in advance :)

This is the old link of the topic im looking for. Well it's not super important. I was just hoping its maybe hidden in the archive but someone with higher forum access can just see it. https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/33366-eu-horde/

I am pretty sure posts where made by this account: https://forum.elysium-project.org/profile/64283-limited-edition/content/

As long as you let players choose everything will be fine. Let the PvE-community on Darrowshire go to a PvE-TBC realm. Let the guys who only joined Darrowshire because Nostalrius PvP had 14k pop and lag join a PvP-TBC realm. People have to understand that a lot of the players (probably especially horde side) on Darrowshire aren't PvE-players. Some of those rerolled Elysium in January (r14 Kennymarsh, r13 Hedgelord, r13 Fexius) but a lot stayed. There is no need for insults. Darrowshire is a healthy realm. But if you're interested in PvP it's bad. And if you played there from the start it's bad as well. Nefarian first kill guild <Hope> just disbanded because nine month BWL is shredding the long time player base.

That a hint that transfers will be available soon? I'll donate 100 € if thats the case, you can quote me on that!

Like how is this possible? Elysium getting Zul'Gurub earlier than Darrowshire getting the War Effort. Jesus Christ shut us down please if you don't care anymore. Nine month Blackwing Lair already. Why do you speed up Elysium but starve us to death?

The Idea of only allowing Worldbuffs on DMF-week is superb. +1 for that. Implement that for all 3 servers for the current highest tier raid.

Let me tell you the story why I started on Nostalrius PvE back in November 2015: Nostalrius PvP was full, Nostalrius PvP already was on Patch 1.7, Nostalrius PvP was laggy. Almost every player I play with atm can tell you something similar, some even started new on Nostalrius PvE because of the mentioned reasons. Up to this day I only know a few players who started on Nostalrius PvE because it was a PvE-Server. It felt awesome to play on a server who was - back in the day - constantly growing. Because a lot of the new players started on Nostalrius PvE all the time - even if they were interested in PvP activities. But these days are long gone. Most of the new players start on Elysium - and why shouldn't they. There is nothing to experience but downfall, empty (horde) zones - and if a player does not want to farm Molten Core for half a year he can start on Anathema right away. Ganking in STV isn't that much of a problem there anymore as well. Why is this relevant? Because my beloved server is slowly dying. I always looked down on the players that spammed world chat with "ded server" because I thought it was imbecility. Sunday peaks at 4000 players felt pretty full after they opened Zeth'Kur. Month Later Sunday peaks at 2500 still feel full, but only for 2-3h a week. Even after ID reset, the server is struggling to get to 2000 players online - trend falling. Guilds are falling apart (<Reformed> recently on horde side), level 60 battlegrounds aren't open at prime time on some days, both sides are struggling to get enough players into the pvp-pool to get a bracket 1 (13000rp) spot and people already start leveling on Elysium. The faction imbalance is doing its part on top of that. And Gummy's TBC could be the finishing blow. I know people will write everything is fine, that it's only the summer and probably believe this themselves. After all there are still six guilds on horde side that kill Nefarian every ID which is way more than on a retail server back in the day. But I still think the team should really think about the possibility of Darrowshire -> Anathema in the near future because at the end of the day a divided community is an unnecessary weak community and the hardware can support bigger amounts of players nowadays / people want bigger population. If they do it now the time frame to gear up in AQ for Naxxramas is still big enough. But that time frame will close in the coming months. - A concerned player and a true believer in the Elysium Project

#unlockMootree need him for our raid tomorrow.

And again they delete the posts of darrowshire players who are desperate to join a server with more than 200 players on their faction ._.

Does anyone know if https://github.com/elysium-project/server/pull/1452 is on the live servers now?

Jup. Just did that. We'll see what you'll say when Darrow won't peak at 1000 anymore. And then not 500 anymore. Have fun.

Not that it would matter since probably noone of the administration cares about Darrowshire but this was probably the last week for quiet some time that horde side got a br1 spot for 13k rp. And it was AV weekend! And my guild added ~30 extra standings with alts already :/

I think - as a long term solution - ist the only right choice. Funny thing is atm Elysium is full with 4-7k pop but by the time Elysium is at patch 1.9 (like Anathema now) things will be worse because at patch 1.3 nostalrius had 10k pop already. I am also missing a vision for the future of the project somehow. When Nostalrius progressed to patch 1.7 they announced TBC development. But what is going to happen now after 2 month of Kel'Thuzad farm? Why building a 2nd Atiesh if there is no follow up content? Why not starting on gummy with a new char if I cannot progress with my beloved nost main char? Well idk, lets hope things get better when the weather is not as good as it is right now anymore :D

Well, transfer to Darrowshire - it's not important enough for China so we're pretty much left alone and have low caps =)

To calm you done a bit have a look at this. If you really wanna make a point then link screens. Btw, saw a guy on Elysium PvP with 800k Honor: Standing 41.

Looks like he was for real. Rip Mahtan!

The book is not clickable on Darrowshire, think it got implemented in patch 2.0.3 anyway. Trying if you can get a new specialization if you reskill it atm

it should -> https://github.com/elysium-project/server/pull/479

It is currently only proccing from spells with a casting time. But the fix for that is on the dev server for almost a month, it will be live with the next update! It will then proc from every spell that consumes mana (like intended).

Can you tell us if the Patch will get applied early in the morning with the PvP-Update or will there be another downtime in the evening?

I don't see how Darrowshire gets destroyed if they allow the people who explicitly want to play on a server with a 'more normal' population to transfer with their level 60 characters. It would not impact the economy as hard as Elysiums or Anathemas since it is actually possible to farm stuff like "Black Lotus" or "Devilsaur Leather" on Darrowshire on your own as well. But thats not really relevant. The economy discussion is madness in itself. What should matter is: make the 'players' happy - and not some sick individuals (~1% of the population?) who play this game as a world domination auction house simulation. If you are a Zeth'Kur player who invested days of your life in a character I can totally understand you dont want to start fresh again after three month. To me it looks like there are two major groups there. The one that enjoys the small server will maybe enjoy it for 1-2 more month but eventually even finding dungeon groups at level 60 will be an issue or opening a battleground. So these people will be very happy on Darrowshire for sure since we have a small but very nice community. And for the guys who want to play on a server where you have to farm two five hours in order to buy a "Black Lotus" there still is Elysium.

I think letting the Zeth'Kur people choose the server they want to go to is the only viable option. I think the server will die. People who enjoy the small community are probably better off at Darrowshire (ZG is around the corner, they can gear up pretty fast. Battlegrounds are open all the time as well) and people who want to play on a (World-)PvP-Server can join Anathema/Elysium. I never understood why they opened Zeth'Kur anyway. The overflow server at the times could have (and should have) been Darrowshire and Anathema.

Horde has more than 5 guilds that cleared BWL and multiple guilds still progressing MC - there are also at least 3 PuG runs each week. Sounds pretty alive to me.
