#RP-PVP Realms, Reconsider One Realm

Lennix-queldorei · May 19, 2019, 7:37am

I have a bad headache so I went to the doctor and he said I have an RP-PVP deficiency and the remedy was at least 1 server. So now it’s doctor’s orders, Blizz.

Plugnplay-kelthuzad · May 19, 2019, 7:46am

One server please

Xeaned-wyrmrest-accord · May 19, 2019, 7:51am

1 RP-PVE and 1 RP-PVP

Gothh-proudmoore · May 19, 2019, 7:53am

Only if it means keeping goldshire inn PG-13 for the normal realms

RP-PVP is just the only way to go if you love RP and you love PVP. I am RP fan and love to stare down my enemy before we take to fighting. Anyone can jump in and do wpvp, but to RP it out with your enemies first, is just so much better.

River:

I’m all for it but only if Blizzard gets the data to justify it would be doable, and if it wouldn’t just water down regular servers too much. I think most of us just want the authentic experience and for Blizzard to determine population the best that they can for the rest of us to have either a PVP or Normal server to choose from first and foremost before considering a much lower population of a niche crowd.

I think most everyone is supportive of RP_PVP for those who want it, but not all these people would actually play on such a server, and only just about 900 folks in a month and a half, have signed a petition for it. And this is across platforms (Discourse, Reddit, forums, etc.). Seems a little light to me for developing three zone realms for it. (And for everyone saying “just give us one in the US” it’s almost weird these days to be that US-centric, considering other zones would be left out or have terrible lag or something). And I think that many signers would not play on one, but were just were signing out of courtesy. This is based on actual replies to the petition announcement and is also summarized here in this thread.

I’ve been following discussions on Reddit and Discourse and Youtube about this subject, and anyone who has any reasonable reply to being cautionary about it is struck down with fire and fury as if they were a witch in the old days. It’s an odd reaction, making me wonder if the community is really all that mature as they deem. I just have my doubts, but hey, if it’s deemed there is significant population for it outside “my one guild of 200 wants to play there” or “my friends and me want to play there” then all the power to the idea!

There is even less data showing a demand for RP-PVE servers, yet were getting that and not a RP-PVP server?

Care to explain that?

I plan on playing on a normal RP server but I think it would be a great idea to have an RP-PVP server

Zintabi-moon-guard · May 19, 2019, 2:35pm

Blizz is going by historical numbers from the past decade and a half of WoW on this decision.

Not that I think it’s a good decision as I really want an RP-PvP server and at least trying to get a PvP server designated as the “Unofficial RP-PvP server”

Which is the whole meat of the issue Blizz: Either there will be an RP-PvP server or players will pick a server and designate it as the “RP-PvP server” Probably easier to just make one in the first place.

Cybaster-cenarion-circle · May 19, 2019, 5:20pm

This decision doesn’t make any sense, in light of their layering plans. Are they seriously telling us they believe there isn’t enough demand to populate ONE RP-PvP server for a justifiable length of time?

Considering the passion people have for the play-style, I just can’t believe that. What a gross error.

Vredeman-moon-guard · May 19, 2019, 5:32pm

I want to say I had been planning on playing on a RP-PvP server since Classic was announced at Blizzcon. This is very important to me, personally. I would appreciate greatly if Blizzard would lend a hand to us here.

Brokenwind-malganis · May 19, 2019, 5:48pm

That data is horribly broken, as there were no rppvp servers at launch. And by the time there were, people who WOULD have rolled on rppvp servers were not about to give up their existing characters, destroy their guilds by separating, or paying to transfer (which you could not do, as pve could not transfer to pvp.)

Historic numbers are absurdly flawed.

Hulkster-runetotem · May 19, 2019, 7:32pm

Let me take this opportunity to add my voice to the voiceless. We want RP-PvP. Bring it Blizz!

Shoutout to all my previous guildies with [Red Sector A] on Twisting Nether!

Aveza-thrall · May 19, 2019, 8:28pm

We still want RP-PVP servers. Lets make this happen!

Pintero-moon-guard · May 19, 2019, 9:01pm

Sorrry for the lame hope talk here sunday double shift, nd 7 day work week but, keep the preasure up, its obvious that blizzard has seen what we are saying keep trying to get those people in beta \Streamers etc to notice. Awareness is key, as is understanding and faith, but do not faulter our post is one of the most populuar on here united our voices can be heard.

Merrix-aerie-peak · May 19, 2019, 11:27pm

if the redit survey is correct then blizzard is being kind of dumb you need pvp for a rp server to work correctly its pretty out of character to have horde and alliance skipping through the tulips together.

Sylèn-thrall · May 19, 2019, 11:54pm

I would 1000% play on a RP-PVP server as would my very large guild as it encompasses both facets of wow that i loved back in the day. Please blizz make it happen.

Noko-shadowsong · May 20, 2019, 9:56am

Those who come in here looking to argue should be ignored. That isn’t what this thread was about! I will never stop posting.

Deusvult-bleeding-hollow · May 20, 2019, 1:25pm

Bump for my future home.

Vonvulviln-emerald-dream · May 20, 2019, 4:40pm

I want this. Also, for the true Vanilla WoW experience, blizzard has to hire on a small team of GM’s who exist only to moderate RP servers. We had that back in Vanilla. However, to make the experience authentic, you have to promise they have job security and then when Bobby Kotick shows up immediately fire all of the RP GM’s and abandon RP servers for some make believe savings on payroll by ignoring the cost of lost subs due to unsatisfied players and stagnated growth due to loss of interest when the quality of the servers(Therefor product) is diminished by the lack of real RP servers that are moderated properly.

But seriously RP-PvP servers and RP moderators, please. Preferably moderation that doesnt include the modern automated silence “feature”. Seriously, that crap is going to make Classic servers feel so empty if its brought over. No one is going to speak freely if they are at risk of a long term silence in Classic WoW over some sissy being offended cause someone said something they dont like.

In modern WoW I dont give a crap, a silence in Retail isnt even noticed by me because I dont need to socialize to play the game. But in Classic? It’d basically be turning off someones account for the duration. Dont punish people for offending another player. Only punish people for patterns of harassment(That means going out of their way to bother another, not another taking offense at how someone behaves in public channels) and extreme outliers of horrid behavior.

Then we have real Classic. If Silence goes to Classic, Classic becomes Retail and the game will be cheapened for it.

Deusvult-bleeding-hollow · May 20, 2019, 9:23pm

Bump to keep up the presence.
