A 2nd PVP realm?

[zzxx]

If the second PvE server (a PvE server!!) can manage to get 2500 people online constantly a second PvP server will surely have a higher population than that.
You do realize its almost 4 times as many players on this realm as it was on a retail realm, there isn't a chance a second PvP server will die out since this is pretty much the only choice in ways of a Vanilla realm.

What they need to do is open another PvP realm that is already at the same patch as the main one.

no.no.no
player from nost launch and other vanilla servers here and let me tell you that another realm will kill nostalrius.

Well, there will be another realm at some point. I'm assuming that the TBC server will be pvp. So I guess we'll see then.

So you are telling me that REASONABLE prices will kill the server? We have a raiding population of several times more than a blizzlike server, so if anything, we need to split the population. What WILL kill the server is if they continue on without either making the node spawnrates proportional to the population, or make a couple other servers with character transfers. It will be next to impossible to get the consumables when AQ/Naxx come out because progression will be dictated by who has the most Chinese goldfarmers, and not the skill of the players.

you dont have to listen or agree, but i am telling you that a 3rd realm would kill nostalrius within a year, probably within 6 months

Hehe.. right now, I would love to see what would happen if a second PvP Server opens. Just because way too many people wrongly "predicted" Nostalrius being killed with the release of the PvE Server..^^
I couldn't care less if it weren't for the crap this dude writes 24/7.

3rd realm, being second PvP realm, will never kill this game. I'm saying game cuz lets face it, what comes close to such hype amount and population numbers in world of private servers? Nothing, literally nothing.

Yesterday night my guild had like 11 people online when laggs occurred. 5 mins after whole world started doing /y LAGGGG my guild had 3 people online, counting myself.
They all logged out with same excuse: "unplayable, time for break."

Trust me on this. If that "time for break" happens too often, people WILL take a longer break aka leave server.
We all enjoy this population, but staff has no solution for this. Further more finding herbs and ores on Nostalrius is far from blizzlike experience but there is another topic on that matter.

This thing happened on ArcheAge and Wildstar too. It's solved very fast by following decisions:

- open new realm (pvp label ofc)
- close character creation for NEW ACCOUNTS on already existing pvp realm

That way, new players will populate new realm. That way you are stressing of the existing realm of getting more players and more lagg.
When new realm gets decent population re-activate char creation on first pvp realm (see why I suggest re-naming the realms now?? this gets confusing. )

It's simple solution which, sadly, costs money. I'm not going to demand anything from people that are investing their time in this while having 0 profit out of it.
However, I can only appeal to them to act fast and realize that having this population is counter-productive in some of game areas.

It takes 2 things to make Nostalrius be better than it is:
- adding more herb/ore nodes in world (keeping the actual x1 spawn rate)
- adding new pvp realm while closing char creation on already existing pvp realm
(optional) - rename these realms for god's sake You WILL have 3 realm in future, there is no way you will avoid that. Will your every realm be named as Nostalrius Begins PVP PvP ?!?!

i would quit if they announce a 2nd pvp realm anytime soon

Second realm please!

I would enjoy a player cap instead with queue, having around 1k players afk in Capital city at peak hours with 8500 online makes the lag wonderful!

I believe Feenix dealt with that by kicking players who would appear to be AFK for xx amount of time which I think is great considering if they ever cap the server and therefore queue appears.

I certainly disagree with more realms. They should focus more on reducing the lag on the servers they already have. I love this server for the population.
