#RP-PVP Realms, Reconsider One Realm

I think we’ve proven that the demand is there.

Ion stated that they will add more servers if they need to so you don’t need to worry about that.

You really haven’t proven the demand is there. A whole lot of people who start playing classic won’t last a week.

You really will be better off on a PvP server and just organize yourself as a community but whatever.

There is a recent video out with one of the devs saying there is a good chance 1 RPPVP server will be there for launch. So I am not worried about there being no server for us.

I guess to you we haven’t sadly. But hopefully we have to Blizzard. We have at least made them rethink it because now they’re considering one at launch where as before they flat out said no. Things are looking hopeful.

I respectfully disagree. I think we would be better off with our own server. Anyone interested would know where to go without having to search the internet for the community.

The best thing blizzard could do in these situations is look at the situation one month in and see if there actually is a solid demand for this and for those oceanic servers people are wanting. Then create a server and offer free transfers.

Based on private servers a lot of people start playing this type of content but they don’t last and it isn’t like blizzard is going to be able to do to CRZ to correct the excess server problem in this content.

The problem with that is how are they going to accurately be able to see the demand for RP-Pvp servers if they don’t have one at launch? I completely understand and agree that we don’t want dead servers. I also know that plenty of people will quit without even hitting max level. I get that they should play it safe on amount of servers. But one server is a couple of thousand people max. 100’s of thousands of people are going to be playing at minimum and I’d be willing to bet on millions. So maybe just have one RP-pvp server at launch and don’t add anymore unless it’s absolutey packed after a couple months in. That seems the most logical route to me.

Blizzard has actually sent out surveys on the numbers who intend on playing classic. They probably have a pretty good idea of the numbers who will play. I doubt after one month it will be millions, I am doubtful after three months it will even be in the 100s of thousands.

This content is going to have a real short shelf life.

I haven’t seen a single blizzard survey but would love to look at them. Do you have a source on this?

I think you’re severely underestimating this. I mean the petition for an authentic blizzard vanilla wow had over 280 thousand signatures and that was from mostly the private server community. There are a lot of folks interested who didn’t sign that or even know about it.

Private servers have been going strong for years so I think there’s definitely a long term audience for it.

I did a few but it isn’t of a nature you can share the questions. But a question on classic was on the last one.

Huge difference between free and paying.

Oh dang, i always wanted Blizz to do some official surveys I just hadn’t ever seen one.

That’s a valid point I suppose. I still think there’s a plenty big long term audience though and I still hope Blizz gives us an Rp-pvp server at launch :slightly_smiling_face:

RPPVP servers no longer exist. How exactly is it an indication of what should be?

So your evidence to the contrary is, what? Your feels?

Take your low information trolling elsewhere.

Re-releasing the base game for an ancient MMORPG and leaving out the RP.

:sweat_smile:

I never really got into a RP-PvP server too much and even I want to be able to play classic on a RP-PvP server. It’s probably the one place where I can avoid twitch streamers and get all kinds of world PvP action that I so desire.

I think the real issue here is that realistically an RP-PvP server isn’t harder to implement than an RP or PvP server, yet it fosters a totally different kind of community. Community being one of the main reasons why people wanted, and fought so hard for Classic servers.

The game is going to have many people playing it, requiring many servers, it cannot hurt to add at the very least, one or two RP-PvP servers.

really hope they do make at least one. I was so excited about Classic but if there’s no RP-PVP server I don’t see myself sticking to it past the first month and a half after I get to 60/gear up a bit

I really can’t imagine them not at least opening one. It was in Vanilla, it needs to be in Classic. They can always offer free server transfers if it tanks.

Please Ion, you’re our only hope!
