The Birth of Legacy: Nostalrius Returns

[XreaperDK 6]

For those of you who may have missed it or are too lazy to read the entire AMA, I made a quick TL;DR for the important info. If you found a mistake I made in it or something I missed let me know! The full AMA can be found here!

 

Nost/Elys AMA Recap/TL;DR:

•Launch date still not confirmed but they are working on it night and day

•The 3 servers (PvP. PvE, and freshstart PvP) will all be released at different times in that order within 3-4 weeks time absolute max but most likely a lot quicker

•There will be a server player cap, the number is undecided but it will be fairly large (quality of game/view distance over quantity of the players at a time)

•TBC is not a focus right now, they would wait untill vanilla quality is primed and naxx is over with before they even start on it...

•Forum reformating is on the list to do, but it is not a priority at the moment.

•Bosses and Raids will remain original pre-nerf difficulty with the exeption of "unkillable" bosses, which they will nerf customly but not as much as blizz did so they are still really difficult, but not completely impossible (C'thun was used as an example - HP and dmg wont be nerfed unlike blizz, but they will slightly change tentacle mechanics to make it possible)

•Release Timelines will be different from nost and elys, and will be released later

Thank you, this is the info i was looking for since i didnt get the chance to make an account on Nost,, but i do have one for Elysium and was wondering why it just telling me "disconnected from server

[tandroid 0]

thank u,

I kind of understand this statement to be honest, if you are forgetting valkyrie has not only a massive database on its own, it also has the merged characters of Scriptcraft 1 and Scriptcraft 2, while this would be a huge boost to the population it shouldn't be an option since scriptcraft players had cleared AQ40 and erasing their AQ gear would not be an option.

 

While on the other hand it's not fair for scirptcraft players to be stuck on the "russian-only realm" i don't know, i'd be glad to see my SC account running around with nostalrius players .

 

 

 

Glad to see you around again man, shout out to the rest of the people for a comeback,i don't even know what they're doing, my wait has been paid off!  

 

 

You're forgetting that SC transferred over to valk before valk had open AQ20 and AQ40, characters from sc 1 and sc 2 lost all the AQ items when they transfered to valkyrie. The only reason Valkyrie players were denied a merge with elysium was because it was a "new server", an argument that has become redundant because of the Nost merge.

I don't understand the economy fears. Things sell for more, yes, but that also means the things you sell will sell for more too.

A level 35 can easily get 4 stacks of elemental earth while grinding, and boom there is all the gold you need for your mount + some.

Also with war effort, even a level 1 herbalist can make decent money.

 

The economy problem comes from gold/silver looting from trash/mobs/boss/quests/chests.

 

The more gold flows around server from mobs and the less gold is wasted on repairs/mounts/vendors/respec then the economy inflate and causing more problems like less activity, more pugs,more lazy people etc.

 

Some may argue that way or this way , but even if 1 character had million of gold wont damage economy , but when his gold spread then it make damage

Hello everyone!Can someone help me fix my realmlist so i can enter the test realm?

[Pottu 290]

Test realm is not available quite yet. Your realmlist should point to logon.elysium-project.org

I've never really understood this.  I came into retail vanilla right after ZG came out, so the economy was already well-established at that point.  The early economy on the Nost servers was horrible.  Oh, dumb people put things on the AH, but I could frequently find items on the AH for less than the vendor price (and would buy out and promptly vendor them for profit), and with the AH listing fee being as high as it is in vanilla, it was generally a better idea to vendor greens and mats rather than hope that someone would be interested in your item.  There were a lot of times where I just vendored ore/leather/herbs/gems/etc. because the going rate on the AH meant that having to relist something even once would result in a loss of money.

Are accounts that were banned on Nost pvp going to be ported over and playable? People live and learn to not repeat past mistakes and a second chance would be amazing

As was described there is no amnesty for no one. Ban(old)=Ban(new)

[Kazuma 11]

Most plebs will roll fresh server anyways. Good riddance.

[Angryfrog 4]

Wasn't hacking, was some terrain exploiting, but if it will remain banned then I'll just start fresh on the new server

Simply put, welcome home.

I'm so happy we can go back on Nostalrius I want to say thank you to Pottu and all the staff members for this reopening. I'm a little worried about Blizzard anyway, i hope you guys know how to take countermeasures just in case they show up someday.

The issue of a big population, which was highlighted by Alexensual in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3LM_uImxhM, is lags and queues on login.

He thinks of oppenning all 3 servers at the same time. It allows to distribute population on 3 servers.

 

So, as my suggestion, open not 1 fresh PVP server, but open 2 fresh PVP servers instead. It will help with population distribution. After some time, when players will be on different zones of world and server loading will be lower, these 2 pvp servers can be merged to one server.

 

It's just my thoughts, I don't know tech-details...

Opening 2 PvP servers at once would be useless. Having one stable PvP server release with high population would cater to the old and new Nostalrius imagine. It would be much more effective to open a _second server_ once the main hype has settled.

I think launching all three severs at once might be a good idea, but launching 2 of the same is not a good idea.

 

I personally would rather wait till they are done doing their work, polishing it, preparing it, getting ready, maybe it is just me, because I actually enjoy the time waiting, getting pumped, finding friends in the forums etc.. Just use your time wisely and wait for the right moment!
