You and I both know you can have multiple communities set up on 1 server.
You don’t need your own server to have a RP community, you will learn very quickly who the rp guilds are on the server.
Adding more servers is a terrible idea for the long term health of the game, we both know that.
Worst case scenario you have the same rp community as you did before and at the very best your community grows with people who wouldn’t of tried out the rp aspect of the game
.
There is no downside to just having 1 pvp server.
Infact they should just rename the pvp server RP-PVP.
This is likely wishful thinking, but I would hope the streamers realized they were why Crusader Strike turned out nothing like Grobbulus.

The toxicity that comes from purely PVP servers at this point isn’t found on the RPPVP servers. It’s the primary thing people try to avoid when they go to those servers.

The RPPVP server would need to be released at launch, or it would suffer the same struggles Deviate Delight did.
Grobbulus was SO POPULAR and full that they released the East Coast RPPVP server, but people had already adjusted their schedules for the Western Timezone. Not only that, I believe DD was released 2 weeks(?) after the fact, and you can make decent progress in 2 weeks, especially if you planned for it.
Levels, gear, rep, and already home in a guild, people were less likely to uproot.
How these servers are released, server name announcements, name reservations, etc, are going to play a VITAL ROLE in server health.
People need time to prepare and spread the word.

The biggest aspect of server health is maintaining fewer servers.
27 servers were released in US at launch.
3 is less than 27. 4 if you count hardcore.
You are welcome.

And how many are “high” pop and how many are “low” pop dead servers??
You’re kind of proving my point.
Thanks!
Would you like some more straws, sir?
Striped or bendy?
You’re the 1 bringing up stuff that contradicts the point you’re actually trying to make.
At this point you seem to be on my side in the way you’re arguing.
Bonus: Look at Sod They launched all these servers and just had to combine them.
Bringing up vanilla servers is about the dumbest argument to make when we can see 75% of those servers are dead now rofl.
I’m afraid I’m not vulnerable to gaslighting, so it won’t get you very far.
People love to use SoD as a shining example, but its not Classic WoW. Its a different version of the game.
And those aren’t Vanilla servers. That was the 2019 Classic servers. Guess you’d have to be there to know.
We would like to thank you for keeping this thread fresh and bumped, its been a fantastic help, thank you

I’ve never seen someone in so much denial in my life.
You can literally use all of wow as an example.
Every time there’s more servers they end up dying and people end up transferring off and filling up a handful of servers or blizzard offers free transfers ofg dying servers.
You aren’t even using logic anymore
Can’t reason with people who don’t understand when something was lightning in a bottle, they’ll spend forever trying to recapture what can’t be again.
It was replicated in 2019. Grobbulus was everything that Emerald Dream was for the RP-PvP realm.

We all know you’re bored because no ones biting your boosting troll posts.
It’s a bummer you’re bored but I’m not your mommy, you’ll have to find something to do.
Last thing I’m going to waste my energy on is spending time on someone who is just looking to start fights

Emerald Dream was my retail server <3
That was some of the best WPVP ever, and Grobbulus definitely carried that torch!

it even expanded on Emerald Dream’s RP-PvP success. Grobbulus was awesome.

And do you think it will be replicated after what happened with CS?
Streamers weren’t around in '05, and they were on their own server in '19 but once word got around about how cool Grobb was they flooded CS when SoD came around.
Same thing is going to happen again.
Hear about the Avian Flu guys?
Never eat chicken again. Ever.
SoD =/= Classic.
