Elysium has 5K queue because people just don't know about the new server - easy fix

Recommended Posts

So many players just simply don't know, and are shocked when I tell them that there is a newer realm than Elysium. Make some in game announcements and put it as the servers starting message for a few days. Problem solved. 

 

I don't need 10K players, but 3K at US peak is low for modern vanilla wow standards. Yes I know this was considered high pop back during Vanilla. Don't care. I also used to play on a 4x4 bubble monitor.... doesn't mean I wanna go back to that. 

 

This is an easy fix. Get the word out in game to your players.

More advertisement is good, of course.  I don't disagree with the idea.  I think people are slow to move over because they think their level 25 with no tangible guild investment is somehow worth holding on to in the face of queues.

Meanwhile, intelligent people moved immediately, and are now 25, forming new guilds, and will reach 60 long before their counterparts, who are holding out.  The only excuse to stay on Elysium-PVP is if you're 45+ or have social commitments.

People know about the new server, they just don't want to lose their name/progress on Elysium. This is evidenced by the fact that everyone is asking for transfers. People would rather have a que than lose their name or week of progress. It's not an information issue, it's a player issue.

imo they should allow transfers once the first person hits 60 here.

It's not an issue at all. WoW is a RPG and player care about their characters.

My rogue is not just "a week of progress", it is something I want to identify with.

And I don't fucking care about the level speed on the new server. I don't want to be level 60 as soon as possible.

Don't think I could have said it better myself.

As a member of the community i think game announcements about the new Server are a good idea, but most people are aware of the new realm and are just stubborn.

fits it very well.

 

As a player who likes the classic WoW feeling it is a "tiny bit unpleasant" to say but:

*on the table jump*

PLS STAY IN YOUR QUEUE AND ROT THERE!!! I'M FREAKIN HAPPY HOW ZETH'KUR IS POPULATED RIGHT NOW!!

*step down from the table*

It's so much more fun than on Elysium Server. You don't have to fight over every mob and sometimes you get your classic feelings back when you see a group of 3 or 4 mobs and you want to, but shouldn't, pull them because you know they will pull your pants right over your head so that you can taste your fear-sweat.

Having 3k to 5k online on one server is fine and it has been said more than once, that classic WoW's environment was never designed for 11k players per server.

it would be hard not to know this server is out, its pinned on the elysium twitter. People are just stubborn like the idiots in this thread wanting transfers instead of just rerolling to avoid the queue.
