PvE Seasons

[Jackyy]

hello,

(i try to keep this short, to avoid a TL:TR)

as i was bored at work today, i kinda got a nice idea in order to bind
conpetetiv PvEers to nostralius

the main problem of every expansion-based server is:

how do you keep (hardcore) PvEers busy once all content is clear?


and my idea is kinda "stolen" from diablo.

NOTE!!!
----------------------
/this idea should take effect, once naxx
/is clear on "nostralius begins"
---------------------

on a set time in one year (i would suggest 3 months)
you could release a "blank" server with the whole content unlocked.

the PvE guilds would then have a race of who can progress the most in this 3 months.
(note: you start from level 1)

and once the "season" is over, the server gets shut down, and NO ingame rewards
will be taken over to nostralius begins

but

there will be some kind of "highscore list" or "hall of fame" where the guilds deeds are
shown to the world.
and where they can see who was the best, and who got the longest epeen, etc...

with this way, there would be always a chance for progress-PvEers to progress.

This is atleast IMO a better way to keep the tryhards bound to nostralius,
then with for example gating content, or releasing more and more and more and more servers.

And it should not cause too much adminsitrative work. Since this should be a clone of Nostralius begins,
just with a Wiped Character-Database.


Well this is just an Idea thrown into the room. maybe you like it, maybe not^^

well you saw what happened with nostarius not gating 1st content, hell break loose on nostalrius ranging from 'Whores' to ppl that actually were waiting because yeah, why to rush something you gonna do until the end of time even in BC/WotLK.
Thing about WoW 'seasons' is nice, yet it fails to deliver when you going to lvl up and then raid, kills the hardcore scene doing this every 3 months, it could be rather done in SC style giving you 49 with some green bullshit items and release you to the wilds 1-49 experience is totally skippable by ppl that play this game for 10 years. (since that lvl you can do some Reputations that actually matters, aswell with gear)
You'd have to either Gate the Raid content/ give ppl 49-60 to have the race done normally without making those ppl completely burn out.
Nice idea, nice concept BUT need to be observed from all the aspects to value AND more enjoyable by wider range of populus.

This is probably one of the best ideas ive seen in this board, i 100% support this idea, i doesnt affect nostalrius and just think when naxx is cleared weekly.
Would be an interesting thing to implement this new pve season realm for the hardcore competitive players
Ive seen a lot of crazy suggestions on the board but this one is a very clever one.
For 3 months ( or the duration o the real. ) all the crazy hardcore pve players would gather in this realm to make the greatest race ever.
