I like RP-PVP servers because they attract a different, usually older audience. This is true of PVE servers as well, but I enjoy PVP. The fact that some people are RPing around is just an extra that tends to make the server experience even better.
It happened on sod because they released multiple pvp realms, and only 1 rppvp, without listing names. So, in order to simplify, they all decided to go to the unique server, which left only the rppvp as a choice.
This wont be an issue this time since there will only be 1 pvp server. Also all streamers are going to hardcore server
This actually works for any name, not just non-RP names. I have had forced renames on character names that were generated by the in-game character creation screen button.
Looks like the server list has dropped into the client, sadly no RP-PvP server.
Still a few days left, but think we might be left out this time. =/
If we call it quits then we certainly will be. If you have friends or guildies who havenât made their voices heard yet, now is a very good time to do so. Squeaky wheels get the grease
Or or * tinfoil hat * theyâre âreleasing them before RPPVPâ so the âbig crowdsâ can organize where to go.
Please, Blizzard, donât use novelty versions like SoM/SoD judge the success of what an RPPVP server is. You saw the success and love of Grobbulus!
i am returning to this thread to once again voice my support for this idea
I just resubbed IN ANTICIPATION of the new RPPVP server for Classic Classic WoW. I feel pretty confident at this point that there will be an RPPVP server released, even if itâs at the 11th hour.
Itâs clear by now that there is a ton of support for one. The community is hyped for RPPVP!
RP-PvP or bust!
Lets go!!!
Thatâs not a solution though, itâs a detriment. It would be SoD all over again where the RP community gets split because a portion would have gotten âsettledâ onto the server and refuse to move.
Thereâs already a Fengus RP discord thatâs existed as a few days waiting for any news and the consesus there is âWe have a name now, weâre locking in here even if they release other servers.â
Surely an RP community would still be able to swap if another realm was announced before launch though, no? My understanding of the Season of Discovery troubles was that people didnât swap due to the progress which would be lost.
If they release after Thursday 2pm? Yeah, itâll be bad.
I believe we still have time before then, as no one has begun to level any characters, etc.
Easy enough to go âHoly crap! Theres the RPPVP server, lets go!â
The âprogressâ was a handful of hours. It wasnât really anything to worry about, people are just stubborn and donât want to flip flop back and forth when trying to herd whole guilds.
Given how much support this topic has gotten, Iâm still really hoping that Blizzard knows what happened in Season of Discovery and are trying to avoid a repeat; after all, realm names werenât available in advance last time, right? Seems like the largest reason why they might have decided to release them early if they havenât done so before.
Even delaying the server by 2 hours would be bad. Once guilds/friends/communities pick a server, they donât want to move. The RPPVP server has to be there at launch or itâll be DOA and just become another PvP server.
If Blizz announced one and gave the name, then people can coordinate there and be ready.
With the amount of talk surrounding it, surely they see the huge demand. Hopefully theyâre listening and will do the right thing.
Being lock out day one on the SoD RpPvp server was a massive letdown. I hope it makes a return.
The names are currently:
Fengusâ Ferocity (PVP)
Molâdarâs Moxie (Normal)
Slipâkikâs Savvy (Normal)
I assume one of the two on the bottom are supposed to be Hardcore.
This would be the first time a release has never had a Roleplaying type server, which I find very strange, and an unfavorable move.
Crossing fingers for RPPVP.
In SoD, they trolled us with temp realm names. Wasnât their a Streamer Realm that they showed for a few hours? They were fully aware the streamerâs were hunting for a realm community to ruin prior to SoD.
How do they ruin you might ask? Weâll the streamerâs minions flock to the realm and population lock it (i.e. SoD Crusader Strike). Then, about a week later, those minionâs see a squirrel outside their window and switch to play a different game leaving BLIZZARDâS loyal long-term subscriber-base community splintered on different realms.
I would think they wouldnât make the same mistake twice, but ⌠who knows right?
wouldnt want anyone with this mentality on my server anyway
Oh they are absolutely waiting to drop our server. Patience, friends.
