nostalrius potential population!!!!

[Lifealert]

and then theres the ppl who dont go on the forums

The gold sellers will show up on any server that's popular. It doesn't matter when. And there's no way to keep them off the server without blocking legitimate players. It's all about damage control, because no permanent solution is possible. An account costs nothing to create, so there's nothing stopping them from simply making a new one, and coming back. I'd suggest a strong CAPTCHA on new account creations, to stop the form from being spammed by a bot, along with Email verification to activate new accounts before it can connect to the server. But this would only slow then down. It won't stop a Human from making a ton of accounts.

the reunification thread has +222k views. is that the potential nostalrius population?

brightness isn't one of your top qualities, eh ?

There is a guy out there who is seeking revenge on Nost for being banned for criticizing the large number of Chinese players on nost. He told a number of us he's going onto dozens of different chinese websites to tell them about how to connect and how ppl will buy gold.

There is going to be an ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH number of Chinese players on day 1 because of this.

cant they just have there own non english server?

Nost is about raw numbers so they can flaunt those metrics in Blizzard's face.

We'll be playing on the Elysium project. So you are factually incorrect as usual.

cant they make it so non-english versions of the game dont run? ( sorry if this is a dumb question, i think theyre different versions of the game)

GJ making an irrelevant point about the label.

Hopefully this will help

https://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=Nostalrius

This is a trend chart for the word "Nostalrius" that was searched by google.

Between the PvE and PvP server, there was almost 20k+ active players at all times (correct me if I'm wrong) in it's Prime activity. The chart will reflect that in the 25 Margin. After the Nost shutdown, the google-trend for the word "nostalrius" went up by x3-x4. And then during/after Blizz-con, the google-trend for Nostalrius was about twice the amount during Nostalrius's Prime player activity.

if I had to make an educated guess, I'd say we're looking at a minimal of 40k active players once all 3 servers are released.
