Let's Save Darrowshire

[Jaszunn 0]

So the community manager, Rain. Said with ample support for the PvE realm. We can maintain Darrowshire's independence from the upcoming merger. I am creating this topic as a way to save the PvE server to support the community that wants the PvE server. I feel if we merge away Darrowshire that it will act as a deterrent to players old and new that prefer PvE over PvP, and will resort in a portion of the overall project's community to leave for other sites that offer this service. If you agree or disagree; please make a post supporting either decision on merging Darrowshire, or allowing it to maintain it's independence.

I don't think the server will self-sustain on it's own. I think it will be forced to merge...however if you and others believe otherwise, then the PVE realm should stay in tact, so I will vote in favor of you all. That being said, if the server remains dead, you've only yourselves to blame for the results...so long that as a total server, you all accept the likely unpleasant blame for that, then I see no reason why you shouldn't take the chance to stay independent.

I'm a big supporter of PvE servers, and I like to see more of them. But I do not see the server survive in its current state and with recent events on its own. 

Personally I don't mind playing with "only" 100 people on a server. Gives you more the feel that you know most people around you, just as we did in the "good old days"  But I'm also realistic and I know it cost a lot of money to keep things going as it is, and also alot of extra work for staff members. And some more stuff but I'm just so tired.. 

 

In conclusion, I think the good does not outweigh the bad and the plug must be pulled.

I do not enjoy PvP-servers, and that's why I came to Darrowshire. With the merger, I do not believe I will continue to play :/

Well, I voted yes for the independence, but do not think it will matter.

I truly hope they keep it PvE. Of course I voted Yes. ?

Same here. I don't like pvp at all. That is why I am in a PvE server. I play with my friends so I don't care about how many people (100 or 10k) show up.

It's actually sad to see how many ppl are ready to jump ship just because this recovery is taking longer than they would like. I don't care about online atm. Because... you know... How many people encoutering issues with the restoration? Just give them some time to recover.

I think all server should merge then in the future if the population is to big, then  return to multiple servers. I like PvE but i've mostly been the only 60 online all day. i can only imagine its worse on horde.

"Old" Darrowshire had 1k online. If there is even 100 ppl remaining on it, launching a fresh PvE server will increase its population severely

there is no need to merge. 1 fresh PvP-server let with 4k players and 1 fresh PvE server with 1k players

This server is capping at around 50 population these past couple of days, there's basically no saving it (unless you go to the Darrowshire on LH.... around 1k pop there as usual)

The reason the server is capping at around 50 now is because people have read that it's going down the tubes due to  the merge and people, like myself, do not like pvp or, in my case, can't pvp due to age, reflexes, etc. Some of us old folks can't even do dungeons successfully.

Don't tell me the only people who play this game are pvp'ers. There should always be a PVE option and I'm willing to play there no matter how many people are online.

The entire reason the merger was announced was BECAUSE of the low amount of population, not the other way around.

The reason it is low pop is because everyone went to Lights Hope where their characters are at.

....perhaps the idea of merging all three of the hardly populated ones is a good idea... then we can make that into the "RP-PVP" server that some people are really gunning for. Then to fill the other voids we could have Elysium make a fresh PVE server, and then a fresh PVP server, and there we go....everyone wanting a particular server type has one.

This will no longer be an issue for me. Blizzard has announced that it is now working on Legacy Servers. I'll find pve there if I can't find it here.

Our guild have chosen playing on PvE server because it's our identity, and then what happenend to ou FR community ?

I re-create  our community in Elysium after so many servers and Nostalrius shutdown, we work hard to play the endgame, having a structure for all the fr community. And we were sad, very sad of what happened, not sad about the drama but the community again and again and again divided, like the last 10 years always divided, and that is SAD, really .

Now we won't return on Elysium on a pvp server, it's not our starting choice neither our identity ; we are preparing for AQ on other ways, not because of what Crogge and Shenna did, all this drama was a shit since too many months, all the Both (C & WK) egos destroyed the community, and they would have been find a clue behind our eyes and not on the drama scene.

We play where the most people go on a serv, because we are the last FR community here and it's pretty difficult for us to exist and find others FR players.

If Elysium intend to keep a PvE server and especially a "PvE TBC" server we highly reconsidered our choice.

Concerning Blizzard's Legacy servers, it won't appears before, I quote : "towards the end of the next expansion". That means 2 years max.

 

Thanks a lot - Mathys

I don't PvP. I've tried a PvP server. I don't enjoy getting ganked when I'm just trying to level up on some quest that was already tedious enough on its own. I had intended to stay on Darrowshire even with the legacy server since I don't think they'll be the same, and even with low pop- I PREFER low pop- but, if this is going all PvP, I guess I'm out.

No one going to host server just for 50-90 ppl no matter what you say. Join pvp or THAT pve server.

There is a poll in place that will determine whether Stratholme will be PvP or PvE.

I don't think that that poll is a good idea, honestly just give them a separate PvE server since it will probably die within a month. Statistically it's clear that the majority of players are on PvP servers

[buttseks 2]

im actually looking forward to the merger so I can finally play my characters from darrowshire again, which turned out to be completely worthless for me since all the gear I farmed in months cannot be used to fool other players, besides those who intent to do so ( in battlegrounds ). I just miss world pvp, which made me even reroll the exact same two classes on elysium... 

 

this merger to a pvp realm would bring me back to Elysium

вы решили сравнить сервер с (бывшим) населением 1500 и сервера с (бывшим) населением 9000+1000
you decided to compare the server with the (former) population of 1500 and the server with the (former) population of 9000 + 1000
genius

Instead of running both
