First week 1-19, each week 10 levels more, with x2 and warmode xp most of the playerbase would reach it without problems, busy players too if not doing too much side content

Without cross the playerbase is about half, now add all the different class and leveling speeds of everyone, add lower healers to the mix in contrast to pve, you end up getting really long waiting times and empty zones, any pvp server under 8k should do caps to keep the average playerbase populated

Im waiting for Y'Shaarj to see if it lives up to Gurubashi constant massive pvp and events, kronos or turtle couldnt deliver that at all, low level 40v40 hillsbrand tug of war were peak private server content, caps would make every place a war zone, like it should, its a pvp server in world of WARcraft, ganking someone in the middle of nowhere in vanilla is not enough anymore


( Add /say /yell /whisp between factions, i want salt, i want drama )

Level caps are a great idea but plsss don’t do the usual 0-9 brackets. Instead, give one extra level, 20,30,40,.. or 20,40,60. almost all classes get their next big skill/talent at X0. Additionally, it opens up the next bg bracket, removing all the low level players from „max level“ bg. I think everyone knows how frustrating it is, that PvP matches get decided, by which team has the least amount of low level players and we all know people will q for bg as soon as they hit level 10 for example. You may say, it’s random distribution so each team is likely to get low level players, but what that actually does is to make 1 team auto lose, it’s just random which team it is.

20/30/40 i like it makes sense for bgs, 20/40/60 its too much for the casual playerbase tough

Please no. And if yes make it no longer than 10 days. Also please make level caps 20, 30, 40 instead of 19, 29, 39 and so on. I feel like we need to gain playerbase for this server, and implementing level caps would scare off some people

As long as each phase doesn't take too long.

not really fair to poll the forums, when the majority are on discord.

discord poll at the time of this post:
yes = 42%
no = 47%
dont care = 10%

I mean, the devs are supposedly not on the discord, but yeah, the sentiment seem a lot more divided there where the majority of the people are... they should come here to speak their mind if they want the devs to actually see it for sure tho ahah

If we do 10 levels each week, what's even the point? Most people will not get even those, especially after lvl 40. If making long phases would piss everyone off, and making short ones doesn't make sence, then why make them at all?

true but getting people to sign up on the forum is like herding cats, might as well use discord for community engagement and make the forums for resolving issues, complex discussions, theorycrafting, bug reports, suggestions, etc. just my $0.001 (adjusted for inflation)
