Day one results, Official!

Recommended Posts

I have no idea how the two realms are going to absorb these numbers on the 17th :o There's probably another 20k players like myself who are rolling anew and/or didn't care about their old toons.
 

Elysium PvP confirmed dead

What do you mean? The above are not transfers TO but FROM those realms. I don't see how that can affect Elysium PvP.

Apart from any troll or fun attempts here, this is indeed a bit worrisome. They have a definitive indication of the amount of people that might try to login on Saturday.

By Saturday I bet there are going to be upwards or 50-60k accounts ready to play on two servers. probably like 25k on PvE and 35K on PvP. Going to probably impossible to play saturday.

It is still only a small portion of the accounts that Nostalrius had. And remember that alot of people had 2-3 accounts on nost.

 

Doesnt really matter when it comes to freshvsold, everyone with old characters is going to transfer them even if they wont actively play them after release of fresh.

Unlike retail servers where everybody plays on the same time zone, remember this server is split between three primary demographics. 21k isn't a lot.

Ugh, this is indeed more than a bit worrisome and has the potential to render playing/levelling on Nostalrius impossible not only in the first days and weeks, but also in the long run. If the developing team could find some time, it would be nice if they provided their plan (if there is any) for dealing with this kind of situation. Is it perhaps time to start thinking about a fourth server :D?

i think opening a 4th sever before at least a month or 2 has past would be a bad idea. we need to see how many of these peeps are gonna drop off. i can see a 4th realm splitting the pop, and then half the peeps the realms were split for just quit one day.... and we are left with a split pop. i suppose they could probably merge the servers back but that would be a pain for the devs.

Not to mention they are already paying 1200$ for the fresh and old server hosting. I dont think a 4th server would be feasible

"Its not much. 30k players. 2 servers. Lets say 1 server 20 k accounts other 10k. Main time zones - US/EU. Half sleep/half play. around 10k online on pvp, 4 on pve. Acceptable. Dunno, i wait for fresh one"

 

Wth?

 

You are saying you think every single player will be either sleeping or playing WoW? They don't have any other life like work or school? And the only people who will play the game are the people who pre-register on day one?

 

Honestly the most strange analysis of anything I've ever seen lol.

Question is, whats going to be the pop cap on each realm?

Maybe your question, mine is "Can I get on before the queue starts and stay logged in?"

I believe you can find at least 3 instances in these forums where I said it would be unplayable. Especially, the fresh server. The Nost pop wasn't all sunshine and roses. It created an added level of difficulty to the non raid/5man content.

Blood of the innocence was not easy to get and required you have the timer and no one to come up and kill you before you looted, or a random DC that rolled you back.

They had what..   150k account on 2 servers before.    Easy, Lads.  ^^

 

Yeah, 150k active accounts but there were around 800k total accounts. I think the concern here is even though the old server had 150k, there wasn't all this hype to jump on starting at a specific time on a specific day.

 

The amount of players trying to get online with the first 24 hours is gonna hurt..a lot...but it's gonna hurt real good...   :training1:
