Yeah. The PVP realm in Turtle is just a fraction of the population of their PVE one. This will be similar.

The Turtle PvP realm launched months after the initial PvE realm launched. So people were already attached to the PvE server. And they launched the PvP at the same time SoD launched.

Both of these servers are launching at the same time and SoD is dead. The comparison is completely nonsensical.

There enough of us to try and form a guild?

Or anyone have any lines on non-retards we could just pile in with?

I'm interested and will be playing. I never got to raid MC, looking forward to it. I went with a hunter to start. Don't have any issues playing whatever is needed though.

Vanilla raiding just sucks, even with TBC-era talents/abilities too many of the classes are just a snooze fest to play.

Doing herb loops.

Every. Single. Week.

For a year+ of Molten Cores and BWLs for Thunderfuries and getting Nelth tears for the revolving door ppl.

Idk if I got this one in me tbh. It was great for the year+ or so I did it on turtle pvp, but doing another one right after that... yeesh.

How is the bottting scene on private servers?

I enjoyed some time on anniversary classic, but it seemed to be filled with a ton of bots and boosters 24/7 that disrupted the economy, as well as made the 8-60 leveling dungeons fairly empty, as everyone was buying gold to boost to 60.

Turtle polices bots well. They did have a problem with Chinese farmers though. To their credit Turtle does ban anyone they catch buying or selling gold. But they can't catch everyone. More recently they straight banned the addons Chinese use to communicate in the game. Which helped some I think.

It was very annoying that every single spot in Azeroth that had ANY elementals was perma camped by Chinese when I last played.

Epoch seems to have a similar or even more hardline stance on such things. How that plays out? Who knows. Boosting was not really a thing. Epoch modifies the game so AOE boosting simply isn't anymore efficient than playing normally. Due to AOE caps and stuff. Which is a nicer and more organic approach to limit it. IMO.

Kaytotes has also said they will implement rather easy anti-bot solutions, such as moving large boulders around an area to screw with their pathing that a normal person would see and just naturally avoid. Or placing small invisible walls on the "bot paths". I think they are going to be quite aggressive against bots.

huh, wonder why mage is so low, the frost tree looks decent enough. Same with priest, the changes to smite allow for holy builds. May go disc priest...

I think mage was wildly popular due to their AoE farming capabilities. If thats been removed, I can see their popularity plummeting. I know a ton of people who had pocket mages, but not that many mains.

I wonder what classes will be PVP power houses with the new talent trees. I don't really care about raiding at this point.

A smite priest might actually be pretty fun though. Have always wanted to try that at 60 despite it not being very great.

Honestly still looks like rogue/shaman and distant second paladin. With support or in groups, warrior and hunter. I think WoW PvP is aids though so don’t trust me.

It definitely won't be empty, but vanilla content is just aids with the type of people that play on these. Unless you have a pre-made going in it's just too much risk of getting time wasted.
