AI arguing with AI, got to love it.
They can offer free xfers to grobb but we all not many would do it if anyone at all
All servers except grobb because faction dominated because people donāt like WPvP
every server is on life support
It was less about not liking world pvp, but more of the fact that the servers became unbalanced and you would be getting camped by 40-80 people of the opposite faction outside of the raid you are trying to do, was really bad during SSC in tbc.
well its not the trinket
itās the rep bonus and weapon skills
donāt worry, they removed that in DF i think
Unless blizzard artificially enforces faction balance, this will inevitably happen.
It isnāt. Literally had several massive 120v120 battles last night and the cities are way more populated now
Enforced faction balance works, look at SoD and anniversary. Iām hoping they take these lessons and start a fresh PVE and PVP MoP server. With the same ruleset.
even if they enforce it tomorrow nobody going to move realms and lose their names/guilds etc
Thats why they would need new servers people like the grind.
Grobb is getting a population boost currently, but so many established guilds have left. Iām sadly not optimistic about all the newcomers sticking around and forming new guilds replenishing the server but hopefully Iām wrong.
Not on horde side I created a toon and have yet to see more than 8 people on under 60
the fresh wrath server died before ToC
i dont think anyone would play a fresh server mop but i could be wrong
someone in need of content to stream, that would be about it
HC is the most successful idea for ensuring regular audience and repeatable content arcs.
no only SOD players like the grind, yall keep going back to play Vanillia, the rest of us donāt actually miss it
Wasnāt there like over 75k SoD players at peak. Thats more than the the total all al the cata servers
World PVP mostly just boils down to people looking to grief. On an individual level its fine because its just you and I run into each other in the jungle and the best man wins. On a larger marcro level its 2 groups of 40 players of the same faction and they figured out a choke point in the questing zone and just sit there to lock it down against people randomly trinkling in just playing the game. Even worse usually a phasing point where you complete a quest⦠phase over⦠and die instantly as you do so. Super hardcore pvp right there.
World PVPers did it to themselves. They like world pvp, and that is cool I got no problem with that, the problem is to feel relevant they usually ban together and come up with the most grief possible ways to burn people that are just adventuring and enjoying the game. Face me in your adventures as we quest and its fine. I die or you die and we move on, but no⦠most of your friends feel the need to pretty much ruin the experience of most the other players on the server so thus⦠everything goes one sided and done.
The funny thing is with these groups that think they are hardcore world pvpāers⦠they donāt want to go alliance on the big horde server⦠or horde on the big alliance server⦠no no⦠they want to just troll down on some people on regular servers.
Did it to yourselves man⦠did it to yourselves⦠so now the servers are going to be like this forever.
You had a 2-day peak when it first launched close to that yes but kata actually hits maintained higher numbers in that consistently until just recently
and recently being the last 2+ yearsā¦
Classic pop was down by significant until SoD and then Anniversary and pop boomed.
Once classic+ drops, this version is dead. They are catering to the same people with MoP changes. They will play the seasonal game and staggered releases instead of faster patch cycle. They just want to keep you in the system and sell tokens.
