PvP Server, Restoration and Phasing Roadmap

[Reynardodo]

We are grateful for the wonderful work you've done guys. However, there are two issues.

Firstly, the raids are coming too early. There's a two-month gap between them, which is far too short.

And please, introduce a level cap for the PvP server. Increase it to 19-29-39, and so on. We don't want unemployed gankers quickly reaching level 60 and ganking us everywhere.

+1 to those asking to delay phases, especially on the new PvP servers.

Levelling is already quite slow. Progressive phases (19, 29, 39...) would be HIGHLY appreciated.

Not sure if a PvP server is needed since there is already a Warmode. Could just make a PvP character. Unless I am missing something.

you are certainly missing a lot of things
Like ppl don't like cross faction etc etc

I think we also need longer phases between the raids and Progressive phases (19, 29, 39...) on the pvp server

totally agree the raid phasing is way to quick

Awesome, ty for the road map!

Feedback:
I am not happy with BWL already releasing 1st of August. New people still need to lvl their characters and even raid MC and also because of the summer vacation time.
Also I would bet a lot of guilds can't even raid MC because they are still looking for players / or are waiting for them to lvl (at least that is true for the guild I am in), but I can be wrong - please just don't cater to just a few big guilds.

I would suggest pushing the release of the next phase one month back, I think that is not too long of a wait for guilds that are further ahead and gives a chance mainly to new players to catch up and raid MC a few times before BWL releases.

Edit: I would also prefer to have the phases longer, some with only two months is very very short and the whole thing seems really rushed :/

totally agree 3-4 months minimum

I agree with those who are saying that the endgame content phasing seems too rushed

Appreciate the work you all have done and thanks for putting out a road map. Server peaks were 400-500 a few weeks ago. I think yesterday I saw 1100ish. More people are joining the server now that classes are fixed and 1.18.1 is out. Also with the news about other servers facing legal wrath we will see even more of an influx. Community discord has gained like 2000+ people recently. I think everyone needs more time to level and farm instead of rushing into BWL. Releases should be pushed back by a couple months each at the very least.

This is crazy fast progression, even worse than Blizzard is doing!

I'm very grateful that you made this server and that I can play Turtle, but I was hoping for a progression much slower than the 2-year roll-out. You have us in Naxx barely more than 6 months after opening up account registration permanently. Turtle was never about being a speed server - Naxx should be more like 2 years away (or more).

Blizzard's Anniversary servers did Vanilla over 14 months. I made myself sick and burned out trying to keep up with that pace - most everyone I knew in-game did. No one had leeway to miss days for vacations or sickness or family events or surgery or just a game break for a month. That faster pace greatly increased stress over getting loot drops, and fighting, and guilds falling apart. And you want to go at almost twice the speed!?!

This basically forces me to play solo. I can't be part of that high-pressure guild in-fighting again, with people being punished over missing one raid, and guild chats filled with people taking their stress out on each other. I wanted to play Turtle because it was one of the few places that went slower.

If you want that kind of environment... what happens to the server a year from now? Does it shut down?
