For those on Twitter, let’s take another shot at Ion to get an RP-PvP server supported at launch.

I fear that the only people Ion has ears for are streamers at this point. Unless one approaches him and actually films a discussion about it, he will take very little notice, and I have little faith that the CMs are keeping him abreast of threads like this.

Reddit is a trusted site that we can link to now?
Nice.

In my younger age, I loved table top RPGs, but had time to go and play them, so I didn’t in WoW. Now I have less time, but can squeeze in a bit on WoW. I want to play on a PvP server as well, and would love RP to be encouraged.
Hope they see and fulfill our requests

Players should be allowed the option to play with any sort of playstyle and server style they want to. I’m strictly a PvE player but RPVP has my full support.

Here is an interview where they mention that they are still considering RP-PVP servers.
Keep it up people! They are definitely listening and considering. These next few months will be critical.

That gave me a little more hope actually. Surprised I hadn’t seen that yet. Thanks!

RP-PvP is my first choice for a server by a huge margin, I’d be really disappointed to miss out on the opportunity, and frustrated if they added them later. I don’t like the idea of losing all my progress on a main character.

We’re more than ‘too niche’ we’re over 10% of the player-base

Linking some old videos for some RP-PvP hype. Ranging from Vanilla to Cataclysm, that I know of. I admit, some of these might be from straight up RP servers though.
Apologies in advance. A lot of the video showcase the armies almost too long, but 40v40 mans are a regular occurrence on RP-PvP realms, and to a lesser extent faction focused RP guilds.

All RP players who want to PVP deserve to do so within an RP-PVP server if they prefer. Please consider this Blizz!!

Fingers crossed they have a change of heart and give us an RP-PvP server at launch. Vanilla PvE is kind of an uninteresting experience to me, and if they stagger RP-PvP, I probably won’t be able to dedicate time to it since I’ll have dug my heels in with my current server, having guild commitment & new friends. A little pessimistic at this point, but we’ll see.

Most of you guys posting aren’t on what was RP-PVP servers. There was really only one RP-PvP server on live and that one isn’t even full. Pretty hard to see enough demand for this in classic.
Plus I really don’t see any reason you can’t RP on one of the PvP servers, just do like some groups are doing and advertising a RP-PvP classic community so you can organize yourself and set yourself up on one server.
I would find it hard to believe even RPer are 10% of the playerbase, yet alone RP who want a PvP server. Where are you getting your 10% from.
I’m convinced you’re the same person coming in here on different characters to derail this thread. Because none of the contrarian posts are by anybody with any previous posts.
First off it doesn’t matter what server you’re on in live anymore since they’re all sharded. Also there’s no point in a pvp server on live anymore since world pvp is opt-in. So your point is invalid.
I don’t see any reason why people can’t pvp on an rp-pvp server. Works both ways bud.
He’s getting that from the classic poll taken a while back and sure it’s probably not 100% accurate but it definitely had enough RP-pvp votes on it to support at least one rp-pvp server.

That sharding made it so pvp servers could never recover.
Sucks because pvp is fun on pvp servers most of the time.

Well you are convinced of something that isn’t true.
It isn’t invalid - it is an indication to blizzard of how much demand there is. Unless that is a boost you weren’t on RP-PvP one year ago. And do you even know what sharding is ?
Glad you can see it isn’t an issue so they will make one that will make most people happy and then they don’t have to bother with people complaining about names.
Ok, didn’t realize there was a survey. That still doesn’t sound like it is accurate tbh, that would mean almost every RP wants to PvP and that just isn’t true.
Glad you cleared that up.
I’m sorry I meant both sharding AND cross realm zones. I should’ve specified.
If that were the case then there wouldn’t be an Rp-pve server. The poll of over 20000 people showed way more interest in rp-pvp than rp-pve.
Look, I’m not sure why you’re so clearly against an RP-pvp server. There will be plenty of pvp servers and pve servers and atleast one RP server. So all we’re asking for is ONE RP-pvp server. There IS enough interest and unless you can somehow disprove that then you have no real argument against it.

Then make most of the RP servers as RP-PvP, I personally think you will be shooting yourselves in the foot doing that though and your servers will be dead and then you will be complaining again but whatever. PvP servers shouldn’t be reduced just to make one RP.
