Hi. I was here at server launch, but I saw it was too laggy and with too many hyped players flooding the place so I decided to leave. I'm back now but I see 4 realms, and I'm kind of lost. If there's a link to a topic that I could not find please post it. However, if there's not, would someone be so kind of giving me a quick explanation of what's what? For each realm I'd like to know: - Name - Type (PvP or PvE) - Wether it was a migration or a fresh start - Wether it runs on the "good" server or the "bad" server - Any other information you might consider useful Thanks in advance.

@Phoosy Thank you very much : )

If I have 1.12.2 client installed but I want to play in Elysium PvP, do I need another version of the client or may I use my current one?

I know my friends and I know they will ask me to form a guild, since it's always me who does it. I will not say the guild name until it's formed to prevent stealy steals though. You might have heard of us if you played in any of the following realms. I'm not sure it's allowed to name other servers here, in which case I'm sorry and feel free to edit them out. All of them have been closed for years so there's no harm really. Private: - Worldofopportunities - Belldandy - Burning WoW - Toxic WoW - WoW Core Retail: - Los Errantes - The Sha'tar Language The guild will be founded by a Spanish player (me) and a Geordie. We have cool headsets and speak English, so don't fret. We will not judge you based on your language skills. Everyone is welcome as long as we can understand you, may it be via voice or mad typing skills. I would like to encourage Spanish players to join us, since I believe you'll find it quite confortable here, but at the same time I don't want to discourage everyone else. I swear I will never allow this to turn into a Spanish spam fest. This is an international guild after all. Levelling We like the experience of developing a character and it's relationships throughout time. We do not intend to rush level 60. Let's be honest: nobody is going to have the level or gear to raid for a long time in this realm, so there's no rush. We like the idea of grinding together, spending time on our professions, chatting on guild channel, crafting pants for each other, stopping for a chat with a random Dwarf we bumped into, etc. Mindlessly running from one quest to the next like zombies is something we don't do. Instances are included in the pack. Yes, yes, it's a chore to recruit 5 people and travel to the other end of the planet to get close to zero experience, but it's an adventure and we love doing it. PvP We love outdoor PvP. The game would be pointless if I could never run into members of the opposite faction in Stonetalon. Questing with a friend in a contested zone is the best part of WoW for me. Battlegrounds? I tend to stay out of them. Those places are chaotic; infested with stupid people who can't make decisions or follow simple orders. But this is only my point of view, not the guild's. If you like BGs and you'd like to organise them, just say it. We need officers who can take care of this part. Raids As I said, nobody is gonna be raiding for a while, but once we get there, yes, of course. We already have an officer for this but we'll need more. So where do you fit? I, as a guild master, will mostly stay in charge of guild organisation in general terms. That means rules, recruitment, relations, economy, communication, and other boring stuff. Yes, I have a couple of friends but not enough to run a guild. I'm really in need of trustworthy people who can run the guild with me, so if you're willing to take part just holler. And if you like to stick around and enjoy a nice guild while you play at your own pace this is your place too. Just tag along and feel the love.

I will roleplay even if I'm the only one in the realm.

There is no raiding time yet. Once we have enough people to actually raid, I'm assuming the raid leaders will decide what time suits us better as a whole. As I said, it's an international guild. Me being Spanish means nothing.

If you're willing to roll alliance you are welcome in my guild.

Comic Sans gave me cancer.

Hey, I like you. You seem smart and I like your way of thinking. What realm will you pick? Could I interest you in joining our guild in Elysium? PM me or something.

As far as I know, next Sunday we'll have another stress test. That means Nostalrius PvP will launch the 11th in the best case scenario. Now assuming there will only be one week between realm launches, that also means Elysium PvP will launch the 18th, and Nostalrius PvE the 25th. Of course best case scenarios are unlikely, and we will probably have all realms open AFTER Christmas. There is no point in having people waiting for launch during the holidays only to open up right afterwards. In my honest opinion, I think it would be a lot better to launch as soon as it is physically possible: next Monday or even today. I don't care about lag, disconnects, 2min rollbacks or any performance issues at all as long as I can start playing, and I assume lots of players feel the same way. If you pre-launch now: - Players who don't care about stability will be happy playing. - Players who do care will simply wait a bit. - In the meantime you'll get real stress results. - Realms will work better on official launch date. - Starting zones will not be crowded on launch date. - We will be able to pick our realm now. - People will not overcrowd 1st/2nd realm while waiting for 2nd/3rd to open. If you wait: - Players who don't care about stability will spend their Christmas moaning. - Players who do care will simply wait a bit. - You'll only get results on stress day. - Unexpected issues may appear on launch date. - Starting zones will be crowded and laggy. - We will have to wait for our realm to open, while other people play. - People will overcrowd the 1st/2nd realm while waiting for 2nd/3rd to open. I see absolutely no reason for you to stall launch of all realms beyond next week. I honestly don't see how stalling would benefit anyone here. I'd say the smart move here would be to drop the "we will launch like this, on these dates, in this order, because that's the idea we have in our heads and we won't budge, regardless of how many petitions our community makes" mentality and consider all the things stated above. After all, we know it's a private server and there will be issues. It's not like we will hate you or quit playing because of server stability during the first month. Go ahead and launch. You can do it.

Yeah, probably. There's no point in spending time and effort 'cause we'll get closed anyway. I thought they were gonna place the new server in Russia, but they kept it in France for some reason.

Thanks for quoting the entire wall of text. That was really helpful.

Good. That way the people who don't really care about realm will go into the old ones.

Elysium was a server but it's offline right now. They are currently grabbing resources from Nost in order to set up 3 realms: - Nost PvP - Elysium PvP - Nost PvE Both Nost realms will keep the old Nost database (including characters). Elysium will start from about the Alterac Valley patch if I'm not mistaken.

Everyone is acting like this is allowed. Can we have an official post to confirm this?

Yes, there are a lot of people living inside the mages/warriors. I used to live in one myself but I couldn't stand so many neighbours sharing the same elevator, so I ended up moving. Now I'm enjoying all the advantages of living in a rogue and I couldn't be happier.

Wait, you play on a Mac?

This guy gets my point. The servers are gonna lag, disconnect and suck regardless of how much they stall the launch date, so they might as well open up now and let half of the people clear the starting zones. It's only gonna make it easier on the servers to fill starting zones gradually. Who cares if I got a head start and you didn't? It's gonna take both of us ages to level up anyway. This is vanilla after all.

I don't think it's coherent to sell gold to your players and then punish them for buying it. However, I agree with banning gold buyers/sellers, especially in crowded realms.

I'm amazed at how balanced the poll is at the moment.

Whatever stuff they need to do they can do while we play. Downtime is okay. Remember we are just testing but without losing our progress.

I rolled a female, human paladin. I was minding my own business in Northshire when a guy ran up to me and asked, "do you want to be my girlfriend?". I replied "no, I don't even know you". The guy fell silent for a moment and then said "do you wanna go for a walk?".
