Is there even a point in starting or is it dead dead? I like world pvp but that is insanely low.

Mate... it was 3am for EU people. They need sleep and got work in the morning. In the EU time evening its usually 400-500 or something. Its slowly growing... but ye

understandable. I guess i will have to pass can't really play with this low of pop between both sides as this is around the time i can play not at 3-4am my time =/. Pve it is i guess

Taking a chance on a server helps it grow. It's newer than the pve realm. Great community. Would love to see you become part of it

don't waste your time on the pvp server. it's deader than dead, hours long bg queues, no 60 dungeons, barely anything sells on AH. if they're not going to fix the pvp server issues then they should just allow transfers off to pve server. at least there is constant dungeons and bgs.

Yea totally.. this is going to help the pvp server pop

"BG's are dead, AH doesnt sell, no dungeons" <--- YOU NEED PEOPLE
Literally scaring away everyone from the pvp server does quite the opposite.
The issue with the pvp server isn't development. Its you, us, the community, its disgustingly toxic and pathetic.

"Fixes" you all want will not "fix" the population on the pvp server.
If you gotta "fix" everything that people want posted on the forum.. you need to

This was the standard Doom and Gloom fearmongering we heard over and over when Turtle launched their pvp server. It's just a baseless way to scare people into the pve realm. Didn't work then, won't work now. Pvp realm is smaller, but definitely worth taking a shot if a pve focused play style isn't your thing.

We just had ~500 online last night on a normal Tuesday, with a WPVP city raid, PVE raids going and whatnot. I'm not struggling to sell my wares and I quite like seeing the same people pop up in groups. Yes, BG que times are problematic, but beyond that I am having a great time on the server.

cope, your sunk-cost fallacy is showing.

Honestly as a leveler, it feels more alive than Tel Abim did with 1.5k. More worldchat, more exchange
