orwell

Far less than 1 year means too fast. Please make it Normal/Blizzlike progression. People come to fresh server for a reason: to stay on top of the new content. To farm raids and collect tiers before the next raid. Regular people can't hit 60 faster than 3-6 months. BWL and Zul'Gurub will be released before most people couldn't complete Molten Core, or even hit lvl 60. Most players are working class people. We work for 9-10 hours a day 5 days a week. Only %5-10 of the players have the free time "fast-paced" progression requires. We can't powerlevel to 60 or clear raids fast enough. Before we could enjoy our 60s, you'll hit us with TBC, shutting vanilla fun and making our raiding/pvping efforts obsolete. Now you think "Classic servers are coming". So what? We're here to have fun and we'll stay if we're having fun. This should last for 2 years like real vanilla. Or at the very least 1.5 years. Also my opinion is people like Vanilla more than TBC. None of the TBC servers have more players than vanilla servers. If you insist on TBC, you can launch it seperately. Have one vanilla server. It'll be the only alternative when blizzard releases classic. Blizz might disappoint us with the release and light's hope will be shutting down(because they're so noble) so some people might come back to their 60s on Nighthaven. Just don't push the content in 1 year! I made a poll, I hope staff will listen to players: http://www.strawpoll.me/14353224 Edit: As of 13.11.2017 poll shows %54 picked 2 years and %23 picked 1.5 years. %23 picked "less than one year" and apparently their only reason to play in vanilla is just to level up for TBC. To staff: Since TBC suckers don't care about end-game vanilla content, please don't make the timeline according to THEM. %77 of voters chose either 1.5 or 2 years of vanilla progress. You wanted communication, here's your communication. Ball's on your court. Now don't you dare leaving this post un-answered. Devs should come out and talk, especially you frog!

We still don't have 2FA. It's required for safe logins. Threats are real. Any community manager comment on this please?

World chat didn't exist in vanilla in terms of noone using it. Maybe it was possible, maybe not, but nobody was using it. When a healer left razorfen kraul, one party member has to go to crossroads asking in barrens chat, if he can't find anyone he should fly to orgrimmar and spam general chat there. People usually went to Orgrimmar or Barrens to find players for dungeons. Even trade chat was added in patch 1.9.0. World chat was never used. World chat as it exists on Elysium should be removed for a real vanilla experience. This will activate general chats such as barrens chat, durotar chat, Orgrimmar chat etc. It doesn't make sense to broadcast yourself to whole world. This takes away the uniqueness of each area. Back then it made more sense to add friends to your list and treat them kindly because you wanted someone to whisper when you need people in dungeon. Now all you have to do is write in world chat and wait for some random guy to pop up. This feels like dungeon finder to me. Also in general chats, you get to familiarize with people who are leveling at the same time as you, people joked around in ashenvale chat and then remembered each other in Winterspring and helped each other out or kept joking around. Barrens chat was such a phenomenon, it had it's own wowwiki entry: http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Barrens_chat We're playing Vanilla because we want it's challenges and hardships. World chat takes away a huge chunk of hardship as well as socializing aspect.

Shenna can you share horde-ally ratio at level 60?

You got a guild website? What are your raid times?

Very irresponsible act on Elysium's behalf. Utterly stupid to let everyone have their epic mount for 180g... I bought mine for 900 and now idiots with 180g chase me with same speed mounts.

What are the CURRENT numbers for players above Level 40, please?

And predictably all the GM team is on discord making shitty jokes instead of coming here and try to solve a real problem.

What is an elemental invasion? Any links?

Can someone explain how the hell do you get epic mount with 180g? I went and bought my nightsaber for 900g before 1.4.

Full T1 or T2 or any tier players will be extremely rare. %99,9 of people will move into the next raids before they can complete a set which is really demotivating.

15$ or 50$ is too much. Nothing should exceed 5$ to be fair. Good idea though. They could reset your talent changing price to 1g for maybe 1$. Then when you need to reset it again you'll pay another 1$.

Name change is a very easy process for the admins. We know Elysium will need some money sooner or later so start offering services. Make name change your first service and see how it goes. I think around 3-5$ would be ok. And you should definitely accept Ethereum or Litecoin (Not bitcoin since the surge of miner fees).

2FA was available before lights hope detached from elysium. But maybe the remaining devs don't know how to implement it now. I can't see another reason.

Mr. Macphaggit

Kalmar why do you do your best for us?

If it's quick and easy to get to lvl 5(and believe me it was not-because u gotta take your lvl 1 char out thecity and run to starting location, and that place is really crowded, you can't easily do your quests) then it means it's easy for gold spammers to lvl their char to 5. And they'll do it. You'll se there'll be no improvement whatsoever.

So much butthurt with this one.

Aux is shit and most people are retarded in the world, in any case.

Yeah there's no class statistics on vanillaradar. I think management will have to share those statistics with us.

How does it change in 1.9?

Ash, Crogge, Shenna, http://www.strawpoll.me/14353224/r 176 people voted. %80 wanted more than 1 year of progress. %20 wanted less than 1 year of progress. You went along with %20 despite seeing this. Why?

Oh god, thanks Shenna finally! Here's another question. Since there will be 2 servers Vanilla and TBC, can you please consider making nighthaven a normal progression server for the people who will stay? Throwing all the content at us within one year creates some headaches: https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/57392-stop-the-fast-paced-progression Please adress those concerns. For the people who will migrate to TBC, they won't even bother raiding in AQ or Naxx since TBC will come before they could farm any raid. Why should they even bother when TBC is 2 months away? To sell their T3 to vendors? They don't care, they are just leveling to 60. So progression must NOT depend on them. It must depend on people who wants to stick to Vanilla for a long time. Please prevent Nighthaven to be "leveling to 60 only for TBC" server. It can have it's own stable vanilla community by the end of this year.

Just give me the option to stay in vanilla and then you pathetic lot can go play with your flying mounts.

Yesterday a GM on discord said "As Crogge said, you'll have the option to migrate to TBC or stay in Vanilla". I have not heard this from Crogge myself. They mostly talk on discord, which is a pathetic chat server, not a real communication method with masses. How are we supposed to know what Shenna, Crogge or Ash wrote on Discord yesterday? You have to be there at THE EXACT fucking moment they are writing. We're not gonna search thru all the general chat to see your plans about the server. All the team should be less active on Discord and more active on THIS forum. Crogge and shenna doesn't post anything on this forums and maybe not even reading these. Very unprofessional. Like, ARE WE GONNA BE FORCED TO PLAY TBC? I'm just waiting for a yes to quit the freaking server but nobody knows or writes a thing on this forums.
