Possible Reunion
Hello Wild Cards!
It's been quite some time (half a year) and it seemed eternity to me... However, I'm sure some of you, who used to play on Nostalrius remember me, and remember the good times we've spent together. I'm writing this to inform you about Nostalrius reopening.
If you haven't already read the news:
http://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=44550
And that's from Elysium's side (forum might be a bit laggy):
https://valkyrie-wow.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=22768
Long story short - Nostalrius gave Elysium their original source code, along with the database, and Elysium will rehost Nostalrius's servers. Majority of Nostalrius's team also moved to Elysium, so for me personally that's a big plus.
Anyhow, answer me how you guys feel about it, wether you are planning on giving it a go, or not. Either way I'll understand, as things are still a bit in the air at the moment, and I see you guys have settled quite nice on TBC and Legion :)
Love, Arrow
Been following this, not sure what to think.
Elysium is not a very respected server, and I'm not sure how well Nost squatting on their server list is going to work out.
I've been following Crestfall, and if their claims are true (we'll see when beta starts) then it will be a far superior option to Elysium, because Crestfall's core is mostly written with their own code (devs are actual software engineers, they write their own systems they don't just poke around and hope they fix things) but it will likely not be out for a VERY long time.
I would also prefer a fresh start, but if the transfers will be happening then I see no reason to handicap myself with a level 1 when everyone else will be level 60 already. Once again, Crestfall is my preference for this.
These are my personal feeling. Those aside, if you guys want to start playing on Elysium then I want to play with you, because you guys were a fantastic guild to play with and I don't think there are many (if any) guilds I would rather play WoW with, and I miss playing with you guys quite a bit. Keep me updated.
Yeah, Elysium was quite notorious as I've read from people commenting on Nost forums, so I was quite skeptical myself, but since 16+ devs from Nost are joining them and they're bringing the old DB back I don't see any other problem but the hardware.
That's what Pottu (Nost dev) wrote on forums since there was some confusion:
"If you have a character on Elysium currently, you can move it to the new PVP server that uses Nostalrius database.
If you had a character on Nostalrius PVP realm, it will be available on the new PVP realm.
If you had a character on Nostalrius PVE realm, it will be available on the new PVE realm.
There will possibly also be a fresh start realm, using Nostalrius core, where anyone can create a new character."
Though I'm not sure how transferring from Elysium to PVP(Nost) will be handled regarding names that are already taken on both servers.

Nost characters will be merged, THEN Elysium chars will be. Nost transfers will be given priority for character names. |
Oh, thanks for making this clear :D
Well finally, I can vouch for the 5 of us left on Hellfire, we will be there, as for the retail folks, I don't expect to see many return and I can understand why, a long time has past and people have moved on or clung to the past as some might say.
See some of you on the new Nost cant wait :D
I may well return to the new Nost, raiding in Retail is a far more involved level than I seem to be able to compete at. So I may be taking a break from retail soon, I have already removed myself from the WC guild there, as I constantly feel the need to do better and just can not make that next performance hurtle.
Don't ever laugh as a Hearse goes by for you may be the next to die

Please don't make assumptions and give others the belief we are not interested until you have actually spoken to us. You don't know our feelings or if we plan to return etc.... its something we have in the pipeline for discussion once we know more about it. So until then please keep your resentment towards us off the forums and let us speak for ourselves in due course.

Didn't you say in the shoutbox you just now made a character on EU side, or was that an alt? I think it's understandable if a fresh 100 cant keep up in heroic >.>
it's been an eternity, it seems, since i posted here. in the meantime ive made a 19 twink rogue with all imaginable enchants and bis, 19 druid, 19 priest, 19 warrior, 19 pala, 29 pala, 39 warrior, 60 mage and 60 rogue. all on kronos (PVP)
rogue pvp is fun. baddies demolished once again by the ever famous wow veteran, whenever his name is brought forth the greylevels scatter like the roaches they are.
make a pvp guild.

Bear, firstly I will apologize for offending you or anyone else, but, secondly, I think you have taken my comment and twisted it a little bit to represent what you wanted it to represent
We all love the same game, we just left it at different times, and obviously consequently have our own different opinions about its rise and demise or continued glory
I believe I am entitled to voice my own opinion and so are you
If you are enjoying retail then don't be pressured into leaving it
I don't know what else to say except it's still early days in this new Nost era and whether Wild Cards makes a return or not, my point is, I will be back
i will absolutley be checking it out indeed, and i will hope that it works out in the end, i miss my sword and my newly aquired shield.... :(
i would love for everything to go back to the way it was but i know that probably wont happen and i fully understand if ppl decide to stay where they are, but i would love for you all to come if this indeed isnt just a ruse.
Also no matter who comes and if there is many of us or few, i refuse to be an officer just so you know.
lets finish what we started eh :D
Since im Guildmaster of Wild Cards on L4G Hellfire i cant just leave the Server for the new Nostalrius Project. I know that most People from the Core would love to return to Nostalrius and if they want to i cant hold them back :) Its just there are alot of things we havent done yet and People who joined the guild on L4G Hellfire idk if they want to start from lvl 1 again. I would really like to clear T5 and T6 Content but also i would really like to Play vanilla with you guys again. I wont let People back on L4G Hellfire so we will see what will happen :) Ill check the Server out for sure anyways.
