PvP realm should be 2x XP like tel'abim
Re: PvP realm should be 2x XP like tel'abim
Non-60/non-19 BG brackets are something that I've seen a fair number of people express interest in, because the additions and changes to the game dramatically revise how these work. The space is ripe for exploration, but nobody really touched them to my knowledge.Catoblepa wrote: Mon May 11, 2026 6:38 pmFrom my perspective, a pvp server with no one in the leveling zones or in the pre-60 brackets loses a lot of its appeal. I've been playing wpvp since vanilla launched, so I know what I want without you having to explain it to me. What’s more, it seems that the increased rates tend to attract an audience of people like you. So that’s one more reason to look elsewhere.Cudie wrote: Mon May 11, 2026 5:38 pmIf you played on a cross faction pve server rather than a pvp server over 2x xp rate, you don't like pvp servers. People that play on pvp servers do it exclusively. A fan?

I really hope all servers will share the same rates.
WPvP also is something that vanilla WoW has cemented in its memetic DNA, so a PvP server should not get in the way of this.
My thinking would be that instead of XP rates, there's something similar to the BG bonus rotation but for level brackets or specific WPvP zones. Auto-scheduled ahead of time so people could plan big events if they wanted, of course.

2x XP rates would kill the server. World PvP is the best aspect of PvP in Classic, no idea why anyone would want to limit that.
Re: PvP realm should be 2x XP like tel'abim
THE 10-59 BGS WERE NOT DEAD CAUSE OF THE 2X XP RATE ON TEL ABLIM, IT WAS SIMPLY THE PLAYER COUNT THAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE SERVER WAS LAUNCHED DURING A BLIZZARD CLASSIC + EVENT. ITS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE 2X XP RATE, PLEASE DISREGARD EVERYTHING DARKTIFA SAYS, THIS PERSON IS BANTERING ON EVERY SINGLE POST AS IF THEY KNOW EVERYTHING , DARKTIFA DIDN'T EVEN PLAY ON TEL ALBIM FFS.
THE COMMUNITY OF TEL ALBIM PREFERED IT 2X, KEEP IT THAT WAY. THANK YOU. IGNORE ANYONE WHOS ARGUING, THE PEOPLE WHO WANT THIS SERVER ARE THE PEOPLE WHO PLAYED TEL ALBIM. RESPECT IT. PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Re: PvP realm should be 2x XP like tel'abim
I like PvP servers because they're immersive. But I don't find 2X rates to be immersive. Didn't get to play TWoW but I know it had cross-faction slop on PvE realms, so I'd definitely take a PvP realm if only to stay away from that. Don't understand what the issue is that make players want to have 2X rates. World PvP happens at all stages of the game, not just at 60. The entire game is quite literally designed from a 1X rates philosophy, with a strong emphasis on faction conflict.

Seriously, don't listen to the snowflakes above claiming that players from Tel Abim desire x2 xpFaint wrote: Fri May 22, 2026 1:36 am I like PvP servers because they're immersive.

"Carebears" and "Hydra" had ZERO pvp presence and struggled to clear BWL on a k40 progressed realm
IMHO, pvp realm should be x1 with no tents either, but all opinions are welcomed ofc
Re: PvP realm should be 2x XP like tel'abim
Given the majority of players will be coming from Tel'Abim where they chose to play on a x2 server, it makes sense to me to keep it like that.
I'd personally prefer x2 XP as I find it more of a struggle to find time to grind to 60 now. The longer grind doesn't add much to the gameplay for me, and we're only starting from scratch because Turtle was shutdown, not because we want to grind to 60 again.
I know a few people that moved to x1 servers post-Turtle and got burned out with the grind or are finding it a struggle.
