Personally, like many others on the server, I wish I was 60 so I could PvP on the PvP server, since there is no or hardly any wpvp in the leveling zones at all, and there simply aren't any BGs for low levels. So this is a shared sentiment between people. Now, would having boosted XP rates make people come to the server or people who are playing on the server level an alt? We already have boosted XP rates; have that attracted more people? Would boosting it further attract more people? Who would those people be? New people coming to octowow or people from the pve server would make alts here? These are all valid and interesting question and there is more question we could ask but FRANKLY WHAT GIVES, FUCK ALL THAT AND JUST GIVE ME SOME FUCKING EXTRA XP IF THEIR AINT NO NOBODY IN THE DAMN QUESTION ZONES WHAT THE POINT IN HAVING THE QUESTION EXPERIENCE ON A PVP SERVER? THE ONLY WORLD PVP I HAD SINCE START OF THE SERVER IS A FUCKING SKULL LEVEL DRUID GANKING ME OUT OF MY QUEST, WHAT THE FUCK. LET ME HIT 60 AND PVP. Of course thats a not a solution to the dwilling numbers on the PvP server, the fact of the matter is simple: the in-game map is made for 2500 people and the server pop on pvp is like 1/2/300 depending on time/Day. Until 2500 it dont fucking matter about open-world experience as much as instant experience. If people who dev Octowow, or WoW would go back and play or understand the philosophy behind WoW, I.e ttrpgs, everquest and battlefield we can understand, why instant pay matters in small numbers
Now if we want to have a more active and thriving PvP server, we need more active players; players who play the game beyond farming and raidlogging(there is quite a few people who don't PvP on the pvp server)
We need or could use a new set of GMs that would not moderate, which is the tradition left to us form the blizzards day but to go a step further and GAMEMASTER THE GAME, like a ttrpg. Creating situations within the game to spur the player into action, and that action would be PvP actions, likewise of course players should have player driven interaction it goes without saying but new set of GM's that main purpose is to plan/and do ingame events to draw people into playing like a ttrpg GM would make more player play more and draw more player in.
There is huge amount of things the server could do to HAVE FUN, things that can be helped and driven by the GMs, like fashion week, or Leveling event. etc etc.
And if we dont get any of that, new players, new gm, give us some XP boost and cross server BGs
I AM FUCKING TIRED OF SMITING MOBS ALONE, I CAN ONLY STAND DOING IT WHILE TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE AS A PASSIVE THING, LIKE DOODLING WHILE ON THE PHONE
