Do you really imagine tens of thousands of players in one realm? Even provided the hardware could handle that, this would be literally unplayable. Questing would take forever, not only because of the struggle for quest mobs but also due to omnipresent wpvp. Even though the population factor has always been one of the top priorities for me, we wouldn't be able to enjoy that, trust me.

I see your perspective here, friend, but let me add my 2 cents: 1) First and foremost, everything we are so hyped about atm DOES actually happen because of the Nostalrius Begins veterans or "old players" if you like. While not considering myself one of them (I have barely levelled to 50ish on the PVE realm before the server got shut down), I still believe they deserve more respect than all the hypetrain kids constantly bitching about the release delay. Not trying to say they are superior as people, but surely more important to the community. Let me stress it once more - they are the cornerstone of this awesome legacy thing we are experiencing now! And the haters/hypers will be gone in several weeks anyway. Also, it's enough to go through a few threads in here to find out who is who - the manners say it all. 2) Secondly, I believe the main point behind the new server release is not to force newcomers into competition with BWL-geared people. We just have to wait a few more weeks to get equal chances, no overgeared gankers, progression from the start. I'm rolling a new char myself and would love to do it in a fresh realm, but while waiting for it, I'm gonna check out the PvE one when it's released and maybe find a new home. Still, nobody forces you to play on Nostalrius servers, you just need a bit more patience.

I'm pretty much on the same page, friend. While being a PvPer at heart, I would really like to experience some oldschool raiding and progression. I personally feel like the original PvP Nost is already too far in terms of progression to catch up, which makes a PvE one a viable alternative but then... can we really expect any PvP action in there? Not entirely sure about that. For now I'm definitely more inclined to roll on the PvE one and hope there will be some PvPers joining it too. Maybe even some PvP oriented guilds, that would be a dream! See you in the field of honor!
