We get it, not one guild would let you raid since you played on feenix, and the ones that did such as mine promptly kicked you out of said guild after your first raid... as your gear and realmplayers reflects you dont need to keep rubbing it in our faces man.

Scypheroth is the exact type of "troll" who didnt even play on nostalrius and is attempting to spread hysteria and misinformation while proving he knows absolutely nothing and hasnt even taken the time to do any research before trolling, As many people have pointed out already nostalrius was a great place to level and at no point, did anyone who actually played there feel left behind due to gear or gold because the established community made it easier and the gameplay more accessible to anyone who joined a quick realmplayer's search of Scypheroth reveals: http://realmplayers.com/CharacterViewer.aspx?realm=NRB&player=Scypheroth Scypheroth Level 9 First Seen: 29-12-2015 Last Seen: 29-12-2015 What can we take from this? not only did he not even play on the server, he played for a day during its most popular period; didnt even make it out of the starting zone... and then never logged in again meaning he didnt even see a horde player during the one day he played on nostalrius... Just lol... I advise anyone to actually either read comments from people who actually played, or look at the countless first hand sources of video footage and nostalrius forum posts before making any conclusions, and especially before reading posts like the ones previously mentioned.

goodluck! Anyone else should feel free to post their reuniting or newly formed oceanic guilds here as well, It's hard enough finding a guild which raids our time or anything similar, let alone an oceanic one so hopefully keeping them referenced here will allow for easy communication

mmm it could be something like: Original PvP Server ~ Release Original PvE Server ~ 2 Weeks Later New Player Server ~ 4 Weeks Later

People still seem to lack the ability to see the big picture as i explained before this is undoubtedly the best move for the entire server. Dont be a member of the community who demands as much as they can get as fast as they can get it... That literally directly led to the state of current retail wow. Be a member who wants whats best for the server. Think about the good of the community, and the balance of population; ask any nostalrius player, scratch that go and look directly at the nostalrius forums, and you will see that the number one complaint which anyone on the server had was that the pvp server was over crowded. In fact I remember one announcement and there was like a 40 page hype train surrounding the possibility of a second realm being released which would relieve the overpopulation the realm faced, and the disappointment when i didnt happen. The decision made by the admins is not only calculated and carefully considered; it is the literal best possible move for the server to preemptively account for these issues which we may eventually face. through an equally dispersed community we will have a better quality of gameplay on every server, and the best and most effective way to achieve this is through a staggered release of the realms for Elysium.

Mmm sorry if i seem hostile in some posts, but as you can see through the majority of the posting in this thread its just people complaining harassing and insulting... I think realm names have been covered:

@Etsuri I love etsuri's post I dont think he actually read his own post, first he claims that people will chose low pop over high pop regardless of fresh start or not, then instantly contradicts himself saying he refuses to play unless its on the new server... that contradictory circular logic. If he actually cared about this server at all he would either: A ) start a new character on the pvp server as he claims others would or B )wait until the release of the server Instead he refuses to and says he wont play if he doesnt get his way... just lol dude... @Papakoko I suggest actually reading the first post thoroughly but anyway; briefly summarised this decision has been made to accomodate basic trends in social dynamics: Pros (of staggering the release): Through releasing the pvp server first it will mean that new players who have been deterred from joining the original realm due to the rumours and misinformation spread by people who didnt play on it; or are trolling, will be able to see that in reality it isn't a bad environment to play on at all and through playing with members and guilds who have already geared up, with content on farm and an established economy they themselves will be able gear up faster and get money faster while having access to content on the pvp server faster and a year ahead of the fresh server. Cons (of not staggering the release): People who are new to the server assume rumours and speculation are true and as a result dont even try to play on it leading to an infulx of players on one server and a defecate on the other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowball_effect The decision being made in regards to realm release is about population dispersement, ideally the best server will be one where we have a 50-50 split over both realms and through a staggered release, it means that new players wont all immediately jump on the fresh server and we will hopefully achieve this balance, through staggering the release we will hopefully achieve two servers with a 50-50 population split which will last many years which could potentially have cross-realm battlegrounds as opposed to one sever snowballing the other imploding and one realm eating the other

Another perfect example of the players who complain about the pvp realm being released first in order to benefit the entire server and dont care about elysium at all. All the players who are complaining about the release schedule, dont care about the server at all and what is actually best for the server. All they care about is what they can get and when they can get it. In reality these are the exact players who will quit after a month when they realise vanilla doesnt hand out free epics.

Mmmm as can be seen through post's such as Topkek's: These members of the community don't care about the server at all, all they care about is what they can get and how fast they can get it... anyone who applies any thought whatsoever to the decisions made in regards to the release schedule for the realms can see that these choices are not only calculated and carefully considered but are the best move in order to ensure that every realm of the server thrives and that we as a server can be as successful as possible... Anyone against it is purely self-serving and trolling, without any thought towards what is best for the community

bK- Member Since Today, 01:04 OFFLINE Last Active Private 1 posts I lol'd at this post, he used a straw poll which doesnt even include 10% of the original nostalrius population as his "evidence", which has clearly been manipulated by people mult-voting. on an account which he created purely to make this post; more then likely because he has already posted once already in this same topic... There really shold be some system in place to stop people making troll accounts

Thanks for the update guys, awesome news! I think it is actually a really wise decision to release the servers in this order and will hopefully lead to a balancing of the two servers, in addition to giving players who are still finding out about the start of elysium/return of nost a good chance to get back online and rediscover their characters. It will also give some sanity and actual perspective, in regards to what its like to play on Nost PvP as opposed to the hysteria some posters have been spreading; meaning people will actually be able to see that that playing on nost pvp will actually allow them to catch up getting gold and gear faster in addition to not having to wait an extra year before they are allowed to enter aq like the "fresh server" will have to. Unfortunately 6pm GMT is 4am in australia so I will be probably passed out, will the stress-test be over an extended period? or purely for a short stint of time?

eh goodluck man, oceanic guilds are hard to come by and the main server already had like 3 actively raiding australian guilds... hopefully you can find a guild you can raid with among the new members.

It hasnt been mentioned anywhere specifically to my memory but I am fairly sure I heard there would be population caps on the servers set around 6000 online (dont quote me this is from memory), hopefully this would deter one server having a negative affect on the others, e.g the fresh server for people who dont want to compete vs the pvp and pve server

The pvp one is the main one where the entire previously existing elysium and nost community is the main one, the fresh one is generally for people who are new to this server

The main server for sure, I have a fair few old guild members who will begin player here again on it
