Aaaaaand the people trying to exploit, cheat and otherwise undermine the integrity of the server are here. Happy days -.-

Ooooh yeassszzzzzz SO F.ucking READY

I'm glad I got this done already xD

Well the forums won't be the same if we don't get the wierd ones here aswell. So expect people who are like Slippery eg; Darkwinjax, Vathdar, Nikko to rock up to the party soon enough. I can't wait for the PvP forum to kick into action. I loved reading that фекал

Were you around when Grizzly (#1 Horde guild before they quit) bullied Nope (Alliance #1 guild) as if Nope was the ginger fat kid at school? I have seen you on the Nost forums but I am not sure you remember this. It has always come down to the players behind the keyboard...

Were do you see the sign ups? (8600 already for a stress test is HOT!)

Well there is nothing stopping Blizz from sending C&D orders. It comes down to Elysium ignoring them or not. A C&D order is not a shutdown, it only tells the people to stop. Elysium can ignore these. If Blizz does push for legal action (which should be very very hard as this is a non-profit project) then I wouldn't be suprised if Elysium does shut down. Nost chose to shut down. I would like to say that it was part of the gameplan to give vanilla servers exposure but I can't be sure of that. Regardless, that failed and Elysium has no reason to shut down.

Available at launch : Dungeons : Ragefire Chasm, Deadmines, Wailing Caverns, Shadowfang Keep, Blackfathom Deeps, The Stockade, Gnomeregan, Scarlet Monastery, Razorfen Kraul, Uldaman, Scholomance, Razorfen Downs, Stratholme, Zul'Farrak, Temple of Atal'Hakkar, Blackrock Depths, Maraudon, Lower Black Rock Spire. PVP : Warsong, Arathi Basin, PvP honor system Raids : UBRS, Onyxia, Molten Core (including possible drop of [Talisman of Binding Shard]*) https://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4 Edit: Thought I would add this here, so everyone knows what we should be getting at launch aswell.

I know exactly what will happen. But if you read the posts from the project team you will also know that there will be a server cap. Don't expect over 10k online like on Nost. Like I said in the previous post. You will just have to tough it out with the rest of us. If anything they may need to open more servers later down the road. Depending on how big this grows. I mean Nostalrius was growing bigger and bigger every day ; D

Lol, I guess you have never played on Nostalrius then. There is no avoiding the amount of chaos that is going to ensure on launch. You will just have to do like the rest of us and stick it out until the server reaches stability.

Just pick a server and roll with it. You will be fine either way.

If old Nost is anything to go by, the split was reasonably even. 47 Horde - 53 alliance, or around there if I remember the statistics correctly. There was no specific focus. Everyone did everything. The carnage that went down every day was insane. Horde started out being the dominant force, with Grizlly messing up alliance (Like stopping Nope from doing MC) but then they left and Nope took the reigns. Nope vs Dreamstate is actually a meme on Old Nost, but Nope definately had the edge in aggression. Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6zrQJquPbI Edit: It wasn't just those two guilds btw. But I would say they are the most notable ones.

This will literally be any retail babies joining the ship.

To put it simply, dynamic respawn will help, but with the numbers of players that are going to be leveling you WILL struggle to kill everything as you get to it. This is not retail instant respawn... I leveled 3 chars to max and was halfway with a 4th on Nost. You will suffer at the start and then the further you get the more it will thin out. Lots of players will start quitting at level 20 or so (It's always like this) and around 32+ , when people get caught in STV, will be the clear sailing point. My suggestion to you, check mob respawn points. Make groups and friends with the randoms. Don't do escorts. Stick to your guns and keep going.

Thanks

I think the current website problems are more due to them being unable to support the current traffic coming to it. As for attacks, this project will 100% get attacked a LOT. There are a lot of really spiteful, nasty people out there who do not want us to have fun. I am actually suprised this question was not asked during the QnA ; /

I can confirm this as I had the Swift Gray Wolf as a UD (Proof: http://realmplayers.com/CharacterViewer.aspx?realm=NRB&player=Shayss)

Ontopic - what should our new realmlist be? Nost? Elysium? Valkyrie?

I hope we don't get cross realm BGs. That was one of the first steps blizz made to wreck thier game.

After Nost I went Kronos 2 and got a priest to 36 before the DDoS raped them. Rather unfortunate. It looked like it would be a pretty lively server till that happened. I did consider it to become my next home until that happened.

Didn't you mean to say "Honk"

Gold medal speech.

I hate it when people don't try things and then talk s.hit about it. So I picked up legion for 1 month before blizzcon. You enjoy finishing the zones. The story is cool. The game play though... so.damn.boring. They did go in the correct direction with giving the player stuff to grind. The problem is the only thing to grind is artifact shitpower. World quests was also a good decision, but AGAIN they miss the point of player interaction. So now you have a world that gives the illusion of being alive (thanks to cross realms and no flying mounts) but because there is no grouping involved and shared mobtag you are STILL basically playing a solo game.. I already have a legendary (lol...) and this is automatically getting ilvl increase with the next patch (lol again...) and the only things being added in the next content patches is more artifact power farm. Needless to say, I get flamed on Blizz forums for pointing this out. I am in dire need of this project relaunch.

I for one don't mind that him posting this. A good forum needs some tinfoil hat experts!

I hadn't thought of this. Good point on the character selling. However this was not your original point and it also does not reflect that there is a large group of players from the old PvP realm that wish to continue. Wether they sell thier chars or not is irrelevant to me. I already have plans for the fresh realm. Edit: Just a quick mention, Nost did have detection in place for people selling accounts and those people were permabanned. I would assume the same thing would be re-enforced now as it was then.
