You are a player, no?

Same deal here, I think that quite a large number of new players have come flocking to the fresh server, and that they're not simply leaving Nost PVP and PVE for the fresh experience. Not saying people from those servers aren't joining in on the fresh servers, but I think the majority are new players. Surely Elysium Project want to fuel the hype and allow this great influx of players to establish themselves here? The argument of "wait and see how badly the hype dies" seems foolish to me because it will if the devs wait, but largely because of the queues, not because they're 'going back' to Nost PVP/PVE (I myself am here FOR the fresh server, not the Nost servers).

Do the current xp rates not allow for this? I feel like there's a common misnomer of WoW being all about end-game, and forgetting that - especially back in vanilla - the grind to 60 is a massive part of the experience. That and you get more skilled level 60 players from the standard xp rates, as their time spent mastering their class is greater. Doesn't apply to everyone, some people have played their classes plenty enough to not need this, but changing the rates opens the doors to the potential issue of players who aren't prepared for the difficulty of vanilla end game content. Just my two cents

This ^^^^ I hope the devs and players worried about the issues another server may bring are reading this; there are so many people believing that another fresh realm would draw players away from Nost PVP and PVE (although 5k+ pops on those are pretty awesome as it is), but are missing the fact that a lot of players have come to Elysium Project BECAUSE of this fresh realm (I certainly have). For those arguing that the devs should wait a few weeks/months to see if the hype dies down - wait too long and it is guaranteed to go down, because not many of us will have the patience nor excess time to actually play on the server as it currently stands. Those people don't necessarily just 'go back' to Nost PVP/PVE (especially if they never came from those servers), they'll just leave. I'm surprised people are so opposed to it, and find it unsurprising the devs are considering it when the queues for Elysium PVP are at best, half the size of the playing population (around 5k), and, at worst, exceeding the population limit of the server anyway (current limit seems to be somewhere between 11k-12k, I've commonly joined queues 12.5k long). So +1 from here, PLEASE bring us a second fresh server! The population of Elysium Project is GROWING, not splitting.
