The problem with the fresh crowded mentality is they aren’t exactly known for there love for role playin i do see your point though about it. But Rpers and classic itself is a huge time sink.
He wasn’t against it. He just wasn’t sure what the community wanted, and it’s been pretty vocal about it. I would want to play on an RP PVP Ream as well.
Do you know when we are going to find out if there is one or not?
When they allow us to reserve character names on Realms in advance of the launch.
Most likely it’ll be at the reserve character name thing, since they haven’t given the NA side a time about server’s etc. So if it’s not there then we won’t be getting it any time soon sadly.
Ion said he wanted to wait and see what the community would say about it. And how we felt about having an RP-PVP Realm and I’m sure they have seen how many people interacted with the subject.
Some people say Ion is pretty firm about no RP-PVP Realm. But, that’s not how he feels.
Just making that clear. The community wants an RP-PVP Realm and we will fill that one Realm, if they decide to make a second one, that will be good if the first one gets crowded quickly.
There are 4 scenarios:
1-They open a realm and the demand is high enough for it to work
2-They open it but the demand isn’t high enough so it ends up being merged with another realm
3-They don’t open it and the demand never gets high enough to justify being one
4-They don’t open it and there’s enough people playing classic demanding for it that they open one later one.
1 and 3 are the ones where their assumption was right while 2 and 4 are the ones where they were wrong at the start. There isn’t much to say about 1 and 3 but regarding 2 and 4: what would be worse? Considering all the problems merging realms can have on the players, specially on an RP realm where character identity is so important, scenario 2 would be by far the worst scenario possible and therefor it should be avoided.
There are no pvp servers, much less rppvp servers in retail. Also, the reasons for the decline of rppvp servers since vanilla has been discussed and outlined at length. Scroll up.
