Skavander 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2016 I'm starting to think most of these people are Kronos and other server shills paid via in game store cross faction mounts. "Hey Timmy, want a Raptor for your alliance dwarf? Just go to the forums try and scare people. I think it's just the community is way more split than people originally thought. There is no unified "Legacy server" community at work here and when the initiative to bring back back old Nostalrius characters revealed you would have people who don't care about any of that and just want servers to come out as soon as possible so they can play. Of course, other servers and their respective players have a lot to lose here if people follow the leader and just move here. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shayss 43 Report post Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) After Nost I went Kronos 2 and got a priest to 36 before the DDoS raped them. Rather unfortunate. It looked like it would be a pretty lively server till that happened. I did consider it to become my next home until that happened.

Jimmy 2 Report post Posted November 18, 2016 K2 had a very poor launch. Kronos had a questionable reputation anyway, due to their cash shop and account selling. Their own population was not enough to sustain two realms and they did not gain the majority of Nostalrius refugees. Yes, many Nostalrius players went there but not all, nowhere near. Nostalrius had 130 000 accounts active in the last 10 days. Thanks to all the attention the Legacy movement gained after Nostalrius shutdown, that number is going to be higher rather than lower when we launch. Yes, some old players will not return but that loss is easily offset by the influx of new players. Some observers make the mistake of thinking that because the old PvP realm had peaks around 14 000 concurrent players and the PvE realm had peaks around 4 500 concurrent players, that the total amount of Nostalrius players was around 18 000. That is not true at all. Nobody plays 24/7. To have a PvP realm never go below 6 000 players at any time of the day, means that there is a vastly larger group of players who log-in to play. How many players did Nostalrius really have? There is no absolutely correct answer, because some players had more than one active account. But it was vastly more than that combined peak of 18 - 19 thousand concurrent players. Nostalrius gained more players all the time, despite the notorious turnover rate of vanilla WoW and MMOs in general. These players did not care that they could not start on a fresh realm. Perhaps they did not really have a choice - but they will not have a choice a month after release either, because the fresh start realm of ours will not be 100% fresh at that point either. What I'm trying to say here is that I understand your concern but that it is overblown. There were dozens of guilds ready for the War Effort and AQ40, most of whom will return to continue their progression. Properly working AQ40 is a rarity on private servers. Note, I'm not claiming that our AQ40 will be perfect, just that we're aiming to have as Blizzlike and proper AQ40 as possible. Certainly majority of the new players will go to the fresh start realm. But we had the population base to support 2 PvP and 1 PvE realm before the shutdown and now there are more interested players than what we had back in April. Hey Pottu, is it safe to assume we won't be seeing any patch progression (such as War Effort on Nost PvP) until all 3 servers are up and running? I'd imagine top priority will be getting the 3 servers stable, which is completely understandable, but just curious seeing you mentioned a lot of people being ready for the War Effort. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WonderBread 4 Report post Posted November 18, 2016 As much as I would want it to come Dec 1, using my brain and not my boner for vanilla wow I'd have to say it'll probably be close to this: Old pvp launches mid december (probably the 13th or so) .. then they spend the holidays making sure that goes well, Fresh start Jan 3rd ~ or so (gives a few days of recovering from new years parties) Pve 2 weeks after that since the ddos'ing and launch issues are probably calming down by then 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
