New realm Elysium to ruin other realms population?

[Capabilities 0]

I believe the name of that specific realm being also the name of the project is going to severely draw population away from the other realms. It seems it is all ready drawing players towards it. Current population it has more than double any other realm at this time. I support more realms because the queue time to get in my server was terrible however did it have to be named Elysium?

Not true.

Elysium population: 8823

Anathema population: 5904

Anathema drops population on Friday and Saturday night.   Where was this post when Anathema was at 8K at 6:00am est?

Friday / Saturday nights are typically are not raid days.   People are either farming, grinding 5 mans, leveling, or playing another toon on one of the newer servers. Once the mass population of Elysium is 60 and done their pre-raid, you'll see a more level population on a Friday / Saturday night.

After pre-raid there isn't gonna be a lot to do.   Run MC once a week for the 3 good items due to bad itemization and an Onxyia, all done in 1 night.

In a couple months, Anathema will have each week,  ZG x 2,  AQ20 x 2, MC x 1 BWL x 1, AQ 40 x 1, Onxyia x 1 (2 every 4 weeks).   People are getting their leveling out of the way now before the raid content availability increases.  I too mess around on ZK with an alt between farming and raiding, though my time is limited compared to 2 years ago.

Some people quit after nostalrius announcement and further deletion of unclaimed characters. People have been fucking around on new toons last 2-3 weeks, everyone thought that tokens will get fixed. So I assume they left because they do not want start over. Some people lost desire to play after recent events connected with security breach, created bis characters, gold, black lotuses. I am pretty sure hypefags lost interest to play after barely reaching lvl 20-30 they realised how grindy vanilla is. People who had no specific goals most likely also quit, they just wanted to try out vanilla.

don't forget retail WoW came out with a new  raid tuesday so the players that play retail and vanilla will be in some type of conflict.

You might be right in regards to Elysium/Zeth'Kur.  It's almost like there is the "main" server, then the red-headed step-child server.  I think that feeling has to do with the naming.

Since the queue problem has been pretty much solved on Elysium, I think most people are going there.  There are way more low level characters on Elysium than ZK, and not just numbers-wise, but also percentage wise in regards to the levels of the rest of the population on the servers.

I think the other 2 servers are kind of irrelevant to this

yes, elysiums naming policy is horrible. the name(s) itself is terrible, and naming 1 realm after the project makes the realm look like its their "favorite child" - the others are downgraded.

Think you all are forgetting the fact that before any of this Nost stuff happened, they had there own server up called Elysium. They froze progression on it when the Nost stuff was announced and merged it with the old Nost server, creating Nost 2.0 (now Anathema). They even gave the Nost 1.0 players dibs on all the character names after the merge, causing the players from Elysium to have to rename themselves when Nost 2.0 was released. They also decided to name "their" new server Nostalrius (even though they are NOT the Nostalrius project, rather the Elysium project) because it just seemed like the right thing to do after Nost gave them the databse info.

 

So why the hell would you think that the first newly launched server of their own, WOULD NOT be named after their project?

 

PS: Don't blame server names for the population lol. People play where they want to play. More people wanted to play on a fresh server, rather than one that started 2 years ago, died for 8 months, then got resurrected. Then once re-released completely discouraged a shit ton of "new players" because they got relentlessly camped by T2 geared characters 24/7..... and you think the server name is what caused people to leave Nost 2.0 and go to a fresh one? lol.

dude its not about who is superior. this is not about "family honor" or heritage, its about what makes sense and whats the best for the project as a whole. the name "elysium" was no good choice, so is naming a realm after the project

the way you argue is very backwardly

Only person making any sense here. Seriously if a mere name is dictating your decisions....your priorities are in the crapper. People are going to play where they want to play. To suggest otherwise is ludicrous.

I'm quite sure new players will mostly choose Zethkur, Elysium is overpopulated.

truth. poor zk first 60 didnt even got a tweet like elysium one

 

@Oakenlix

Elysium doesnt have Queue anymore and much more players so all the new people will take elysium

As long as AQ is released in a timely fashion, Anathema is fine.

I agree, Elysium should be renamed to Valkyrie. You need to look at it from a branding and marketing aspect that the Elysium realm is seen as the "true" realm and all the others are just a bunch of leftovers.

Populations:

Elysium: 9000

Zeth'kur: 4000

Anathema: 5500

If I were a new player, I would click on Elysium because that's the name of the website and official Twitter handle, the most recent website news basically says "Fuck Nostalrius, Elysium prevails", and because it's the most populated while the other realm populations are steadily decreasing. In the long run it is not good for the other realms if newcomers are not being evenly distributed. You can see the staggering difference in starting areas between Elysium and the other realms, especially Anathemas, which are practically devoid of players.

Id easily take 5000 population over 10000, I think many people would too.

Yep, the PvE server gets 4-5k online every day and it's nice. No server lag, no overcrowded zones, no queues, no getting ganked every 2 minutes...feels good man

^this

everytime i see a stupid move like that, i think the nost staff would not have done the same. i cri

[tinklepee 1]

Elysium and Zeth'kur can always be merged so if things were to get bad we have a solution.

I doubt it comes to that.
