How to start?

by Dauneth » Tue Dec 13, 2016 10:45 pm

Sorry for dumb question...
I've been checking some live YT streams... I inspected this whole forum and couldn't find step by step how to start.

1. Where to dowload game (matching version with current or upcoming launch)?
2. Where to launch game in order to play on Nostalrius server?

Bonus:
1. This launch every talk about (mid. december) = fresh, every start with lvl1, or people will migrate there with their 60's alrdy?
2. Do I have to wait for launch to create accout and new hero on new server, or is there (pre-registration ect.)?

I will appreciate decent answers, and please no trolls, lols and bumpers, will be glad for understeanidng.

You should head over to Elysium.

Dauneth, go to https://elysium-project.org/play, you'll find step-by-step instructions there.

Bonus answers:
  1. Servers launched on Dec 17th will have old characters from both Nostalrius' PvP and PvE servers, plus characters from Elysium. Fresh PvP server will be launched sometime early next year. The exact date will be announced on Dec 25th.
  2. You don't need to wait for launch to register, you can do it right now!

So I just:
-register on Elysium
-download&install game
-wait for new pvp server launch
I will see this new server in game, and simply create new hero on new server, right?
Or I'll have to do something specific?

(I think it's best option for me, to wait for new server, for fresh start.)

Yeah, do NOT play on the PvP server.

WoW Vanilla is nothing like WoW Retail. WoW Retail is a carebear game.

If you roll on the PvP server and you are new to Vanilla bear in mind that until you reach level 60, you will be getting killed about 4 times on average after level 15 or so frequently by level 60 players in high-end raid gear or high-end PvP gear.

Nostalrius PvP, just before it got shut down, had almost every single contested zone in the game camped almost 24/7. There were whole Twink guilds camping Redridge Mountains (Lakeshire Area) for example.

So, if you want to chill and have fun levelling, Nostalrius PvP is the wrong server to play on.

If you are new to WoW Vanilla, you should play Nostalrius PvE.

I played WoW for 6 years from beginign on pvp, I don't even think about PvE.

That's why I'd like to play on fresh server, where everyone start from lvl 1.

Registration on Elisium seems broken or closed.. :(

Should I wait for launch of fresh server for lvl 1, for further registration options?

Just wait. Registration is down due to overwhelming demand. As of now I believe that over 30,000 Nostalrius accts have been xferred to Elysium so far.
