I bailed on grob when I saw it was PST. Sorry dudes I betrayed you all
Well I decided on the move late last night and just got word from several friends they will be moving to DD when they get home from work.
I have seen a lot of for and against adding a 2nd RP-PvP server and rather disapointed Blizz felt it was needed 4 hours after Classic launch. Many good guilds are already established now on Grobb, however will see what this week brings.
I went DD! Not looking back.
I have decided to stay on DD as the community is growing very fast! I am honestly amazed with how many RP centric (and those who are good about being nice to RP players) are here! Several guilds have already been formed and the community seems to meshing well.
stay away from DD its splitting the rpvp community
I agree. Just because Grobbulus is showing full or having a queue time does not mean theres that many Roleplayers.
We worked hard to unlock this single RPPVP server, and it brought all of the communities together who want to work hard on making it an amazing community.
Once the tourism/people move around, you’ll feel it.
The choice seems pretty clear at this point:
Grobb: Long queues, overcrowded, PvP Bros, tons of drama, community pre-built by a few elitist guilds
DD: No queues, crowded but not overcrowded, laid back, drama-free, lots of RP already, great community developing organically
How are things today on DD?
30 days later… Sparse.
No idea how it is at max level, but prior to that 20s 30s 40s, it’s increasingly difficult to find groups for dungeons, elites, etc.
Today, Saturday 9/28 during peak time, the server is at “Medium.” Trade chat is silent, as is city in IF. Not boding well for Deviate Delight unless there is a merger with the other RP-PvP Realm or a significant influx of new players.
I just added a 60 day game time card and will casually play until that’s up. No interest in retail and no interest in re-rolling. Not a rage quit and have enjoyed the classic model, there are just more entertaining solo games I can play on my consoles. Without some sort of population boost, I can’t imagine most people sticking around. I’ll try AA:U on 10/15 and hope it fairs better with that model, and tinker around there until I see what happens on DD.
Tons of Alliance in the low 30s to mid 40s in Hillsbrad last night. Supposedly DD is higher Alliance population than Horde.
You must be playing on a different DD server than I am, or you are playing at some very odd hours, as I see busy trade chat all the time, along with LookingForGroup and World chats.
I see a lot of players leveling up, new players, 20-30, 30-40, etc. If you or anyone else is having trouble finding groups, it may be a symptom of not being very social that BFA encouraged with their “LFG” system.
If players actually take the time to reach out to other players, group up with them, get to know them by doing some quests together, dungeons, etc, you might be surprised with how large of a player network you can establish.
Medium peaked on DD is several time the population of what the most populated server was back in 2006, as already stated by Blizz.
I feel one of the key issues at this point for DD is the layering, as I have often time found through /who in level bands, to find 70+ players in IF, yet only come across maybe a dozen of them.
Honestly Blizz needs to start removing layering from some of the servers sooner rather than later, and they shouldn’t wait and do all the servers at once.
There’s about 1460 Alliance online Deviate Delight right now. The number of 55+ is low but the 30’s to 40’s are extremely populated.
Sunday, 1:42 P.M.
Any news if they will be giving us a 2nd RP-PVP server? They should make 1 more imo… on the east coast… please -.-
A second one on the east coast when Deviate Delight is already dead? Why?
So many people in the guild I’m in rerolled to Grob. It’s not looking good for horde on DD
