Haven't played in awhile since Zeth'Kur

[PaulyPepperoni 5]

Any plans to advertise and release another realm? 

Not really looking to start on a realm where everyone is already maxed and progressing.

Na, that's my bad, I went straight to the forums, didn't look at front page. 

 

Anyway, I'm on Anethema, and I noticed that when Zeth'Kur launched, people ate content up (leveled 1-60) pretty damn fast, and it was mad fun. 

 

What i'm noticing here, is a lack in community, and I think a Seasonal 1-60 would suffice. Grinding and PvP had to of been the most fun i've had in WoW in a very long time.

I'm sure if you are in trade chat, world or Ironforge looking for a guild, or you talk to the right GM or GO, you can probably find a guild spot where you will be part of the group who are doing offspec clears. just keep looking and don't be afraid to ask anybody you see who is well geared.

For example, if you see a guy who is fully decked out in current purples, whisper him and be like "Hey, are there any open spots in your guild? I'm returning to the game, i'm active, looking to gear and I have a mic" u will most likely either get a no, or a "send a letter to so and so and they will hook you up with a spot" Most guilds are probably still rerunning previously cleared content for offspecs.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by a seasonal 1-60, but finding a guild on anathema who is running ZG shouldn't be too difficult if u are in full prebis

[PaulyPepperoni 5]

See that's the thing, I shouldn't have to work hard to find a community, it should already be there. 

 

So something needs to get figured out before it goes downhill.

It feels like retail. Just saying.

 

It's simple, create a server, make it seasonal, 6 month intervals. Guarantee people will flood in. Been at this a long time, I know what works and this isn't it.

 

*People know the content already, and know how to get through it. It's not real vanilla, therefor something needs to be done to compensate for the knowledge people already have. 6 month Time interval isn't rushing people, the people who want to play vanilla, do so like crack addicts, in-turn making the 6 month diablo 2 esq seasonal suggestion a viable option. 

[PaulyPepperoni 5]

I know what works. Period. 

 

Blizzard never listened to me back in 2007, and look what happened to them, they invested into a French company named vivendi that went under for 2 billion dollars and forced Activi$ion to put pressure on blizzard mid Wotlk to create shit Cataclysm content. (even though it was the best PvP expansion). 

 

 

Anyway, seasonal will work. Just gotta implement it. Once you lose your hardcore audience your game is finished. Unless you can milk casuals for years. Hmm..wonder what company's have done that. AHHH CHOO EA, Activision. Sorry , I sneezed.

This server exists because of the players, nothing more. If players don't want to play vanilla, then this server has no reason to exist. I don't know why you are getting huffy puffy here

[PaulyPepperoni 5]

There's a difference between "huffy puffy", and stating facts that people don't understand. 

 

Anyway, i'm trying to help Elysium in general, to bring the old school , hardcore people back. 

 

I know what the numbers were. We had almost 9k people on elysium 4 months ago, now it's at a max of 5.5k , well ok, but their all 60? no one wants to start a fresh character when everyones already pushed through the content <fact. 

 

There was 5k on Zeth'Kur when it opened, and that stayed solid for a good month n half, I was streaming it, I know, I started my Twitch and immediately got 14 viewers , which is A LOT for a beginner. I look at the facts, people want to race nowadays, ok, well, lets give it to them, 6 months, full naxx content, who can be the first guild to progress. 

 

* the human brain likes a challenge. And this will bring it to them. 

[Shiamorah 20]

What you are doing is acting entitled. You very clearly put your opinions higher than Blizzard and the staff here. I think your idea is a terrible one, but if you are so sure about something as nonsensical as a server that wipes every 6 months, by all means go ahead and create one. I don't think anyone here would want to participate in a server like that.

[Banezilla 2]

You choose, Anathema, sorry for your loss. The Elysium population was 8300 this morning, maybe since AV was just released.

[riplip 2]

The whole "it feels like retail" thing is the players and not the game.

Back when WoW was new and people knew nothing about it, they would reach out to others in hope they find the info they need.

 

Nowadays, either everybody knows already by heart, or the information is available to them at vanilladb. Like it or not, the days of a warm community are gone. gotta fend for yourself.

There are plenty of guilds actively recruiting on Anathema to the point where you should be able to align your interests with a guild's current raid progression.

[Haestingas 30]

What Oshy said, if you took 10minutes to research before posting your paragraphs of idiotic rambling you would know that there's guilds on both factions that have not even killed Nef yet.

[Morathe 5]

Anathema is dead, too many people quit due to burnout and stupid management decisions then even more people quit as a result of loosing friends and it kinda spiraled down. And existence of Elysium kills any hope of ever getting Anathema back in shape cause we got no fresh blood, all new players join Elysium at this point. There was a time at the start when Anathema was equally worthy for new players (that wanted to get into experience aq or naxx earlier) but then balance of pop was Anathema 5-6k to Elysium 8-9k. Now that balance is like 800-2000 Anathema to 5-6k Elysium. No1 will join Anathema anymore. 

Anathema is left with shrinking community of grumpy old veterans that are: 

A) raidlogging

B) having their niche of fun with some chosen friends and they don't care about rest of the server

C) are not having fun anymore, login to idle in IF for 30min and logout pessimistic about server future but they won't quit cause 100+ days /played is too much to just throw away (me)

At this point Anathema serves a purpose of being a test server for content that will be released probably in rough state for Anathema players to suffer it so that Elysium can get a polished thing later. So I'm not hoping to get a merge as we serve that useful purpose that benefit their main server which is Elysium.
