Anti gold farming is bad move, its not blizzlike, should they buff some class dps to keep in line with others ? Blizz did it in other expansions too.

I don't see how you can say that 1 or 2 classes having a massive gold advantage over others is a good thing.

I think letting the Zeth'Kur people choose the server they want to go to is the only viable option. I think the server will die. People who enjoy the small community are probably better off at Darrowshire (ZG is around the corner, they can gear up pretty fast. Battlegrounds are open all the time as well) and people who want to play on a (World-)PvP-Server can join Anathema/Elysium.

 

I never understood why they opened Zeth'Kur anyway. The overflow server at the times could have (and should have) been Darrowshire and Anathema.

People wanted to start on a fresh server. Queue took hours. People begged for another server so they could play. They opened another server. What's not to understand? Might not seem like a great idea to everyone today. But it was back then.

Thank you for the Q&A. I am looking forward to reading more Q&A in the next weeks!

Regarding Darrowshire: It's a very healthy server and one of the few PvE vanilla realms out there. It comes very close to the experience on retail vanilla WoW and even has some bonus like a community with many cultural facets. There is no need to merge it with any of the PvP realms and people who insult Darrowshire should shut the fuck up :)

Regarding this whole merge-business. Wouldnt it be better to merge Zeth and Darrowshire with Anathema. This would Bring Anathema and Elysium on par with each other. I know this would upset some people though that want to play on a PvE server. In the end I may be the price you have to pay to have a large and healthy population.

When are you going to realize that this is the dumbest idea ever?  You keep suggesting this across all forums and you are the only person that thinks its a good idea.  Do you really have such little comprehension?

If you want a higher population server, go play on one. I have characters on both Zeth'Kur and Elysium, and I choose to play on Zeth'kur because it has lower population.

For one thing, it's spring, the weather is getting nice and summer is around the corner. Population always drops during Spring/Summer, and picks up again in Fall/Winter. People actually go outside and don't sit in front of the computer 24/7.

You think more than half of private server players go outside? Get real.

Thanks for posting the Q&A.  I'm afraid we're losing more and more people each day that we decide not to merge Zeth'kur.  It's a negative feedback loop: there aren't enough people to play with NA, so people quit.  Allowing ZK players to choose where they go is a neat idea, but I support whatever is the absolute quickest option.  The 32.07% that voted no, in my opinion, is not reflective of what people really want.  There were only two options to choose from, and people were under the belief (albeit false one) that transfers from Elysium to Zeth'kur would work & help the problem, so I'm sure some voted "No" because of this

Agree. I thoroughly enjoy my time on Darrowshire. I have had so many vanilla like moments on that. The community for the most part is amazing. All servers have a few turds, but you move on.  It should not be destroyed because a few people voice their opinions on the forums.

I don't see how Darrowshire gets destroyed if they allow the people who explicitly want to play on a server with a 'more normal' population to transfer with their level 60 characters. It would not impact the economy as hard as Elysiums or Anathemas since it is actually possible to farm stuff like "Black Lotus" or "Devilsaur Leather" on Darrowshire on your own as well.

But thats not really relevant. The economy discussion is madness in itself. What should matter is: make the 'players' happy - and not some sick individuals (~1% of the population?) who play this game as a world domination auction house simulation. If you are a Zeth'Kur player who invested days of your life in a character I can totally understand you dont want to start fresh again after three month. To me it looks like there are two major groups there. The one that enjoys the small server will maybe enjoy it for 1-2 more month but eventually even finding dungeon groups at level 60 will be an issue or opening a battleground. So these people will be very happy on Darrowshire for sure since we have a small but very nice community. And for the guys who want to play on a server where you have to farm two five hours in order to buy a "Black Lotus" there still is Elysium.

Is it gold farmers that want their stock moved to other servers?, normal people would have rerolled months ago yes?.

"normal people" dont wanna spend 10+ new days ingame to get to where they are now.

Never got the chance to post this. There are still a lot of class-related bugs that are not resolved, such as the one I linked. Such bugs have been present since server launch, what are your plans to address on-going class-related bugs that are on the bugtracker?

"Normal people" don't have common sense. Everyone acts like it is hard to re-roll in WoW LOLOLOLOLOL.

what about AQ release ? Could you guys tell us how far we are from the completion of the raid? Anathema is more and more raidlogging with every week that goes by, we don't have low lvl activity because most people already have a 60 geared main. Any info on AQ helps the server...

Server full of raid logging entitled 60s? You don't say. Not my problem and somehow AQ will save the dying server, please.

The main reason the changes were implemented by Nostalrius was to reduce the gold farming ability that specific classes had access to due to how MaNGOS is scripted. Rogues/Hunters for instance, have the ability to farm 100g+ an hour, by basically skipping content completely and never having to interact with anything in the instance and that blizzard addressed later on in future expansions. We nerfed these instances to reduce the amount of gold that was able to be generated from 100g+ an hour by certain classes, to about 50-75g across the board.

As you say everytime when your are personnaly in accord with that "THIS IS A PART OF THE GAME"  

Each class has advantage and disadvantage,  i lvled all class in this game and i can tell you that the rogue isn't the easiest to lvlup, trough this way then maybe u should nerf all class like demo and hunt because it's totaly 'tard' to lvlup them ? and also remove free mount from some classes ? (just an example, there is lot of things u can discuss in vanilla and u wont ! ITS LIKE THAT ! Not happy with that ? GET LEGION .....

U guys just make blizzlike what u want and not what blizzard made.... This is just a shame.

Plz never talk about "Blizzlike" things coz u guys are ridiculous... u should focus on all the bugs it sill in the server ruining gameplay instead of make this game totaly non blizzlike.

It's just blizzlike from ur point of view and u totaly wrong.

[Owondyah 8]

yea lol... I mean wtf...

Some class has farming potential, so what? Big deal...

This is how game is, so what?

 

If you wanted to do that you should have make the poll and let the community decide. This is really bad excuse to make.

As poster above me said, following that logic few more adjustments can be made.

If I as rog gotta spend way more money to get a mount, why palas or locks shouldn't do the same... wtf? haha what an excuse lol

[hrisiqk 2]

My question is : When will the ely crew start addresing PvP bugs / mehanics etc the same way they do with scripting/coding PvE, the majority of people are playing on the "PvP" realms and u cant even consider them PvP since its mostly gold farmers/raidloggers and bunch of rankers, its discraceful to not have skills/talents/engi items/world drops not working properly on "PvP" realms, yet u keep working on pve content and such? When will Elysium become PvP server? or atleast have properly working PvP scripts for the major parts of it left unadressed for so long?

Not merging elyseum and zk means splitting the community( you did it in the past because of overflow, it was a bad decision, but needed at the time)

 

now as it was predicted, hype went down and the community is split in 3 pvp realms and 1 pve realm.

 

You cannot merge elyseum and zeth with anathema because of total population and different timeline but at least merge the 2 fresh releases together...

nostalrius kept a crazy high population for a while because it was one big united community, learn from it and merge with a good solution for the economy.

 

I guess we can wait a couple more weeks until peaks are low for Euro too so that they realise they cant even run dungeons anymore.
