noob257 36 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 https://twitter.com/Kraxic/status/820008000651980800 Quote 5K pop on new realm and still a 5k queue on Elysium. Meanwhile inns are packed with AFKers. Time to start banning guys! This would be the next step. Please don't ignore this issue! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkler 2 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 How many of the players are actually human? I can't imagine 25000 people appearing out of nowhere to play vanilla wow. Why were none of these people on any of the other servers? The only pve server I could find, Magic WoW, had about 120 players per faction at any given time. Kronos was the only server that had a considerable population, and it was a fraction of what Elysium has. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing a lot of people missed out on Nost and wanted to try it out now. 25-30k really isn't that unthinkable imo. I do agree there's still shittons of AFK'ers in every inn. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Velgana 1 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 Well it's your choice if you want to stay on that realm or move. The staff did their part, they gave us another server. If you don't want queues, reroll. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the top results for "wow private pve server" are reddit threads. People ask this question and don't get a real answer. Retro WoW shows up in a lot of lists, but that's sort of a crazy place to test things. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taladril 43 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 The time it would take the staff to transfer characters that are less than a week old is not worth it at all. If you want to move servers then just suck it up and reroll. There's non queue so what's there to complain about. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrozenFire 5 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 Zeth'Kur still took over 5000 people who would be in que for Elysium. It's in a no way a failure. However, it would easily be hitting around 10k if people haven't got so attached to characters they have spent less than a few days on. You can't complain that the new server did nothing, while also contributing to the reason it has less players than expected because people don't want to reroll their level 20s. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why were none of these people on any of the other servers? The only pve server I could find, Magic WoW, had about 120 players per faction at any given time. Kronos was the only server that had a considerable population, and it was a fraction of what Elysium has. Old Nostalrius had an active player base of about 110,000. After the shutdown and leading up to the relaunch, the project got immense publicity and thus Elysium has gained a level of visibility unseen in the private server community ever before. Even BBC wrote a piece about us, not to mention dozens of gaming sites, plus Reddit/4Chan, gaming forums and word of mouth. So the active player base has more than doubled and many of these players either do not even know other servers exist or do not care about them. When Nostalrius shut down, many of its players just... stopped. Certainly thousands went to other servers, vanilla or TBC or WotLK and certainly some to retail, but thousands more just didn't play WoW at all. Which is why you cannot draw conclusions from the numbers other projects had and compare them to us. The number of vanilla WoW players is not a static amount. 7 minutes ago, caoyang said: Just increase the fking cap on the Elysium server... The old nostalrius does not have a cap That is not possible due to increased numbers of players wanting to play on Elysium. As well optimised as the Nostalrius core is, there is only so much you can do without clustering. Please remember that before Nostalrius, the most populated vanilla realm usually hovered around 1k concurrent players and was notoriously unstable. Just the fact that we can have 10k concurrent players online with a stable server is an incredible feat. The situation will stabilise on its own over the new few weeks. Incoming players can select freely which realm they play on and yes, some new players will select Nostalrius PvP as their new home. Some Elysium players will switch over to Zeth'Kur. Please have little patience, Rome wasn't built in a day. And that's a saying, not me arrogantly comparing Elysium to the Eternal City. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is already massive clustering, but as people level up, it make sense to increase the cap because people are more spread out among different zones, lessening the clustering problem... I truly admire/appreciate your incredible feat... Maybe just increase the cap for another 2000 so that the population can be as high as the old Nostalrius... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
