PVE Servers - Leave your opinion

[Stellarcrusade]

To answer the OP.

1.) Retail Blizzard does have PVE servers, and there are more people playing on PVE servers than PVP, thats how it has always been. The activity charts show this, its not speculation is a fact.
2.) Warmane has never done this.
3.) If Warmane opened a PvE server, or simply offered a PvE flag on existing servers even if it was a premium option, and if somehow we could advertise to the private server world that this option or server existed then it would be the highest population realm in the private server universe.

The reasons that it would be hugely popular are easy to see.
1.) Most warcraft players prefer PVE as documented fact.
2.) It is extremely rare to find a PVE server offering done correctly in the private server world. So over half of every player on every private server in the world would climb over any mountain to join a PVE server in the private server world.
3.) Private servers would steal a chunk of retail blizzard players that have been forced to stay with blizzard to have a good PVE option.

Quite frankly if it was somehow possible to get the word out to all WOW players retail and private that Warmane was making a PvE flag available most likely the queues would be so big we'd have to open 15 new servers all capped at 6k players, each would have a 2hour queue 24/7.

Yeah yeah, advertising here is no good, so it would take awhile for the 100,000 plus players which want PVE private to work their way here, but thats a good thing, it allows time for growth. The idea is a hugely missed opportunity and private servers are extremely dumb for not taking advantage of it. Not just because they are missing huge potential gains in players and profit, but the quality of play for over 50% of existing players would go up tremendously, and the overall intelligence of the community would go way up. It is a true shame.

I forgot what it's like to have hope.

I know id rather play on a pve server than pvp. If i want to pvp I could go and do bgs. In pve servers you still get flagged for going into the opponents main cities so that wouldnt change. The only difference between a pve server and a pvp server is that on a pve server you can play the game without getting ganked by the opposing faction

Could I hear from a moderator about the possibility of having a PVE flag in current servers?

But from what I'm hearing, creating a PVE server could be really GOOD for Warmane... and I believe even more players buying coins with real money.

I wonder why they've never considered it. Maybe pressure from Blizzard to stop private servers going PVE?

You are right, much more money. But I proposed previously even to make it a premium option, perhaps $20 per account (not character) for the option. That would make MANY thousands of dollars.

try reading the first page, there's a reply from a member of the staff.

That is a good question. From what I've seen, there's not enough interest within the staff, and we're not prepared to put forth the amount of resources required for that sort of thing. Right now, we have too much invested in Lordaeron. Perhaps sometime in the future.

I did read. Totally different question, mate.
