This is a fantastic relaunch. Have some sunshine.

[cybaster 31]

And I'm not being sarcastic.  Public interest is overwhelming, the devs and GM teams are clearly poop-socking it, and Blizzard, the wildcard in this scenario, is allowing public endorsement of the project on their own official forums within the classic thread.  That tolerance is a strong indicator that they're using us to gauge the viability of official classic servers. 

 

The whole situation is kind of unprecedented for a private server, let alone a relaunch of one.  Chaos and queue times are throbbing symbols of vitality, and DDOSes do nothing but further galvanize classic-lovers against "them".

 

And @ Elysium/Nost teams specifically, keep fighting like beasts.  Don't slow down, and laugh at negativity directed at you.  We love you!  Also, maybe consider a PvE fresh server, if this overflow keeps up.  This is big, and you've gotta' be big, too.

Lol this was not a fantastic launch. It was a moronic idea to put the PVE realm online before the pvp realm. Now everyone is piling up on the PVE realm while the PVP realm has barely reached the pop limit. Nost launched was ваууed by the horrible respawn rates and this one is ruined by population. I was hoping that everyone would simply go back to the pvp realm but i was a idiot to believe that would happen.

Been playing since yesterday and other than a bit of lag, it's been god dam amazing.

Maybe you should clean the sand out of your v@gin@.

Ho no, some people come play on your little private own server.

 

Seriously dude ?

People are not taking into account that the Pserver game has changed in the last 12 months and the circumstances here are different:

• We're dealing with far larger numbers than before thanks to all the publicity, intended and unintended.
• We have a DB of players rather than a genuine fresh start. You can see this with the item issues when the PvP realm tried to incorporate the Elysium and Nostalrius toons
• DDoS is a far larger factor now
• Players have a smaller attention span these days and expect perfection from the very start
• Launching two realms at once stretches staff resources 

I think the players should just suck it up a little and allow the unpaid, volunteer and pressurised staff some slack. Better to have these issues now, and not during the holiday season

In the history of mmo server launches, how many have gone off without a hitch? Probly not many, yet rabid nerds everywhere continually expect perfection. It's amusing to read some of the rage posts and sad to think these people actually exist.

Its more pathetic that fanboys exist even for private servers.

Pretty much.  Anyone upset by the trivial problems so far has a brain so warped by selfishness and 2010+ MMORPG ADHD that they can't see the forest for the trees.

besides randomly getting DC'd and then waiting in a 4k que a few times, its been amazing

Even if Blizzard announced legacy servers tomorrow I have absolutely no interest in anything that this modern Blizzard company puts out. You couldn't pay me $15 a month to play any of their products. They would surely mess it up because they are all greed and no brains.  Let them gauge their failure and choke on it, it's karma.

Everyone knows you need to give it a week or two to actually experience it. I still think launching in the weekend midday wasn't the best idea but hey.. shine happens.

The login queues have been painfully long (just like early WoW). The starting areas are insane feeding frenzy mosh pits. Some blocking bugs exist.

 

But generally, this is going really well. When stuff's working, it's *fun* like early WoW.

 

A fresh PVE realm would be very welcome, though. There's obviously a lot of people who like not being harassed while levelling.

[Robroy 2]

Can't believe somewbody thinks the PVE server shouldn't have been opened at the start.

 

Obviously some butthurt fresh server person.

 

I'm having a great time on the PVE server apart from the server restarts but they are to be expected given the level of interest in Nost PVP and PVE.

[Quixotic 0]

Personally, I'm having a blast with it. The launch has been pretty stable, restarts considered, and even the competition for mobs isn't really a problem if you have some patience and work with others. That said, I'm all for a fresh realm, but just having the opportunity to play vanilla again has been a great feeling. Maybe I'm lucky, but after Saturday I haven't even had much in the way of queues. Maybe ten minutes, that's all.

Am I the only one here who actually expects launch issues? It's impossible to foresee everything that can go wrong. To be quite honest the launch has been smooth for me, none of the crazy bugs came my way fortunately, I can imagine it pretty frustrating if it had. But I'm content, can't wait to log on tonight <3

It's big. There will always be haters.

[cybaster 31]

It's big. There will always be haters.

They hate for exactly as long as they're in queue, and no longer.
