My opinion on fresh servers

[Justicegood254 0]

Hello all, hope your night has been well. I just wanted to give my feed back on fresh servers. My bias opinion is that fresh servers will be more popular than nost pve and pvp.

 

I know i could be wrong, and probably am, but i will give some of my insights on why i think fresh servers will be more popular.

 

First off, the wow community (retail or vanilla) is built on casuals not on raiders. While vanilla wow is easier to play for casuals, it's also time consuming and grindy (which means more content to consume). But if the fresh server gets over 40,000 players  i can see that 38,000 players will be casuals and only 2,000 will be raiders or hard core players.  SO because the idea is that both vanilla wow and retail wow attract casuals i am pretty sure that casuals will want to start fresh.

 

second off  a fresh server means you won't be let behind. If i started on nost pve or pvp, i would feel like i am left behind. The real reason people like vanilla wow is the raid rush. Who can down the boss first and be the most popular bad попа guild ? of course this may not apply to casuals, but it could apply to a good population that want a "fair raid race" rather than play on nost pve and nost pvp and continue their raid race where they left off......

 

What is a raid race ? people roll on fresh servers to level up as fast as they can and get to the "raid" part of vanilla wow before others and start gearing up to look and feel good about themselves. It's psychology you know.  If you start on a server that is already on naxx ..well... that server is useless. Everyone is abandoning or leaving that naxx server and fresh new players will not enjoy a deserted server because the raid race is over.

 

My 3rd reason that people will start on a fresh server is that - people will want to try a different class or role. If you played on nost and got to 60 as a warrior and had to tank...you might not like warrior and wish to try a shaman healer. People usually have 1 or 2 mains...ok well casuals will have 1 or 2 mains because they don't power level very fast.  But any ways people will try different classes to level for a new experience.

 

My final argument is - the mass majority of casuals will flood the new servers and the nost pvp nost pve servers will be dead - because the psychology of a casual who has never played a private server - is the raid race and to be pro and to have fun being powerful, and work / play / grind to max level.

 

Don't you see private servers are all about end game - the raid race. Nobody cares about being low level. They want to experience the raids and feel good. That is why i think fresh realms will trigger the "real raid race" and nost pve pvp will be a fun, custom server but not taken seriously for their raid content.

 

Thanks for reading i hope to hear some feedback.

I am new to the forums. i am not a troll. I can see you are assuming things. I am sorry. Lets have a civil discussion please.  Any ways what are your thoughts on the fresh realms ? do you think they will be popular ? i hope so. I wanted to try a shaman or paladin. BUt i am not sure. I like hybrids but think druids are over powered. I want to be a hybrid bard support in pvp and a healer in pve.

 

Any ways i hope you're night has been well thehappycatstail. Talk to you real soon.

I have read the forums and seeing people give their opinions (some with great anger and hate) i decided to write my own conscious thread. I can see people are not in the mood to discuss things seriously.

Honestly i want to do the server with the highest population. If nost pve / pvp ends up being very active i will go there. I just like to be around a large community. Sorry for my bais opinion haha. Any ways hope your night has been well.

All the servers will be populated.   The PVE one will have a lower population than the PVP ones by nature, but does not mean it will be a low population.  Just lower nothing else.

 

 

Welcome to private servers.

If nothing else, people will switch because we will implement population caps. In due time, the population of all three realms will stabilise due to caps. Having one realm with 40k pop and another with 2k pop is just not going to happen. The interest in our project is large enough to fully support three realms. The worry that one realm will be a ghost town is entirely groundless.
