I’ll clarify what I meant, have you ever played on a vanilla server with 10k+ people online at the same time? It’s not the same thing as retail.

I have on Nost. It was fine.
Archeage is smaller than Vanilla WOWs world BTW, and doesn’t have zone respawn changes like Classic does either.
Classic is better optimized than Nost or AA for large realms. Did you guys not play Beta?
Guild cap is 1000 like live, Mob Respawn is based on people in the area, like Live. There is changes, there is alot of changes. It’s not vanilla, it’s Classic.
Like I said there is easy solution. Leave layering on, on Herod. This hurts no one, it only gives those that want a high pop realm, that ability. Those that want the “3k cap Experience” can have it, Litteraly anywhere else. There is zero down sides, as long as they do it before launch.
Then some will leave Herod, to make up for that will keep piling in.
You could have made 100 servers, Herod would still be piled on. People want a high pop realm. That’s why we chose it, that’s why everyone I know chose it. This post, is making more people got to Herod disc and say Highest pop server hell ya reserving name now. This is an Ad saying Roll herod.
People do not want what you guys think they do.
We’ll just have to agree to disagree then. Nost was a garbage experience once it started getting that popular imo. They had to make so many changes to accommodate that many players that it was barely the same game.
Like I said, it’s a difference in preference. I didn’t mean it as an Insult, when I said the 20 people guilds want 3k caps. I understand they like that, I’m happy for them to get it.
However, the people that prefer or run like me, mega sized gaming community’s, that wargame 40v40 each other, and want to do 200v200 gpvp, you people need to respect that too.
Doing what I suggested actually helps the 20-40 man guilds. It keeps the 3k man powerhouse guilds off your servers. Open the flood gates for Herod, so everyone else, can enjoy their classic experience with out powerhouse guilds destroying your server, because they will.
No. You represent just one more special interest who want game changes to accommodate your special needs. Just no. Classic is coming. Players need to accommodate the game, the game should not try to accommodate the players.

I don’t want changes to the game. An artificial server cap isn’t a change to the game.
I am also not a minority, look at Herod. I am in the majority. We will win, so there is no sense arguing about it really.
Blizz can huff and puff all they want, when we crash the server they will have to fix it. And we will.
I want a huge server, so the powerhouse guilds can fight it out. You want a 100 servers so each powerhouse gets their own and takes over. Blizz did neither, so sounds like we both want changes huh?
Except my way, makes everyone happy. You can dodge streamers and dodge powerhouses. Your way, will have you still be a Literal Who on your server, which is what the Classic Experience is about right?
You want low caps so you don’t get lost in the crowd right? Let WSV or Ruin go to your server, and no one gives a crap about your guild of 40 you are no one. The two mentioned already did that.
You play Whitemane, you got two choices, WSV Horde, Ruin Ally. No one else will be anything but a random nobody. Because that’s what those types of guilds do.
You need to fill a 40th slot? Good luck Why join your guild that can’t pull 40 when WSV, has 10 raid teams? Why would anyone join you. Newsflash, they won’t.
It is a difference of opinion and you’re entitled to your own. I doubt blizzard is going to make special accommodations for you though so you should probably start finding a way to fit in the with old system.

Lol it’s not for me, it’s for the mass majority of name reservations.
You people just can’t face reality, you are the minority here. What part of that is not making sense?
We are not leaving Herod. Threaten us with Qs still not leaving. Make us crash the server, still not leaving. Blizz will cave, they have no choice, because we are not.
Believe what you want my dude. You don’t have any hard data on this and neither do I. Blizzard has told you what they’re going to do.

Who would want to be in a mega guild anyway? Just another voiceless cog in a machine ruled by a few tough guys. No thanks.
I don’t take orders from anyone.

Agreed. I joined one once when I was trying out one of the new expansions. The whole mega guild thing was just an excuse for them to get everyone on discord where they could try to sell you merch to help “support” the guild lmao.
That’s probably why this guy is pushing it so hard too. Doesn’t want to lose the chance to sell his t-shirts to as many people as possible and lose revenue.

It’s more private server hype. Remember the guy a few months back warning about all the private server tough guys were the best at pvp and they would dominate the game? Or the private server guy warning us all that the ps teams were going to control mats with their mafia?
All bark and no bite.

I’m planning to jump to the next west coast PVP server that pops. I want a lower population realm when go-live hits. That’s when the tourists will come in full force. I want my realm to settle down to a sustainable population relatively early. No mega server for me. Besides, I actually want layers to go away on my server.
I would think that is when the Classic only not touching retail people come in full force because the dont want to waste sub time for a game they cant play yet.

Some sure. But for most of us, a few bucks wasted on unused game time is not worth a thought. Sub now and you’ve wasted what, 4 bucks? Come on. That’s chickenfeed.
I figure a low or medium server by next Monday is one with a healthy population of long-term Classic players. Then the pop will balloon up with go-live. And finally quickly settle back down in a few weeks.
if this doesn’t hit the nail on the head, I dont know what does. I dont understand how people aren’t more upset about this.

It now seems Pagle server for PVE is now also full as I just checked. I would reserve names on a low to medium based Normal realm, in the Eastern time zone if one existed, but it doesn’t. It seems everything not RP based is high or full populations. Somebody grossly under estimated the amount of interest in Classic. Please consider opening a few more realms for PVP and Normal in both time zones.

sure it is. but there is post after post of people stating such things. even some posts wanting it a separate fee 7.50. ridiculous. the game has not gone up in price since it started. if anything due to inflation the percent of income compared to the cost of living has gone down. game costs 50 cents a day. They throw in classic or vice versa with out raising the price still and people are still trying to save pennies off the sub fee.
people will wait. and then the numbers will skyrocket a day or so before release. So I expect all servers to be at Higher or full on day one. and maybe the population goes down to medium or high. by phase 2. Herod though. that will likely never be below full
