When your boss is publicly saying “No”, saying “Yes” publicly is a great way to not have a job.

Oh my mistake, i misread i thought brian is the would be in power. Though i am curious on his opinion none the less.
Yeah, if it does come about prior to launch, it’s going to have to be with face-saving and finesse.
Brian is the WoW Classic Lead Developer. Ion is the World of Warcraft Game Director, of which the Classic team is one of his subordinate teams. That’s why he’s involved in the information flow.
And since he’s against it, most likely it will be a No, but there’s still hope given other team members statements, and clearly they’re still arguing with him.
I say give one to you but if the active population after 3 months is less than 1000, just shut it down and make you either pay for a transfer or start over.
You claim there is a demand should be no problem with you all agreeing to that.
Being honest 1k is more then easy to keep up with, more so because if they only give us one server it would be unique, and maybe people curious, if nothing else ED is one of the more popular realms through the entire games lifetime, and was huge during vanilla and BC
Remember the panel and the look that Ion gave the other developer when he referred to bfa as the “real game”? Ion doesnt seem to be aware that he got that same virtual look from pretty much every fan of rppvp when he said it might be “too niche”, commented that their goal was healthy realms, and then went on to state something that would be extremely harmful to both surrogate realms as well as the rppvp realm itself if released in the future.
I wonder if Omar gave Ion that same look.

I am pretty sure that is their main concern, that if they make a server it won’t have enough population for people to actually play after a few months and then the complaints will start coming.
I don’t think anybody would have the audacity to cry to Blizz because of a dead server when they clearly have nothing to do with it. That’s completely up to the players whether to keep their realm healthy or not.
Now, I strongly believe if they release an RP-PVP realm later down the road rather than at launch, it won’t have a healthy pop at all, people just won’t be willing to abandon their characters and start over on a fresh realm
They cry all the time on retail. Now sure why it would be different in classic.

I think this, but RPers by nature are vocal and we can organize ourselves VERY well, how else do you think basement dwellers survived off of DND till like the mid 90’s eh? I mean being honest i wouldn’t even consider the realm dying off or going below a 1k pop if it was the only one. Just looking at the fourms that is 1% of the playerbase use it’s pretty obvious enough folk want it.
They cry about stuff Blizzard does and they don’t approve. I don’t see how something that’s completely up to the players would be blamed on them
What makes you think a rppvp would bleed players the same as other realm types? If solely those who liked Pintero’s thread made up the population of the realm (and a reminder that only a small % of players use the forums) then if anything it would be an overpopulated realm.
What “complaints” would start coming?
Because a lot of people will try classic and realize wasting all that time traveling or waiting for mobs to spawn isn’t worth it. Unless you guys figure you aren’t even going to do that but if you aren’t then where’s the need for a separate server ?
where’s the need for a separate server ?
Because in an RP realm you aren’t automatically flagged for PvP, which makes for a completely different experience. Some of us don’t enjoy that, is that really that hard to grasp?
Eh i dono,a lot of folk i know played Vanilla back in the day. and also P Servers so they’ve infact done a lot of that running around recently no skin off there back.

so - there will be a lot of ppl who haven’t played and who will discover it isn’t fun for them.
Yes… Yes there will be, howerver those rolling on RP-PVP know what they’re going into so this won’t effect them.
