The Lurkers on Tich

[Treesh]

I even begged Bolty to stop posting some of his more scathing commentaries, because I felt that it was interfering the in the creation of a possible vibrant Lurker PvP on-line guild on Tichondrius.  This is an old argument.  Bolty thinks he was just writing what he saw and that people just went to where they would have gone anyway.  I think that there were several players who were on the fence but who were so burned by Diablo II's "PvP" that they chose to go to Stormrage when Bolty confirmed their worst fears.

It's not just the PvP part that made very few Lurkers interested in Tichondrius. The fact that it's horde there factors in as well. We have a small population on Terenus and that's PvE. There are quite a few Lurkers who play on the North American servers that just don't enjoy playing Horde as much as they enjoy Alliance. Generally it's PvE>PvP and Alliance>Horde. Unfortunately this puts Tichondrius at the bottom of both scales so it's not too surprising that there are fewer PvP Horde Lurkers around. Yes, Bolty's comments at the end of beta may have influenced some fence sitters on the PvP vs PvE servers, but they certainly didn't influence the Horde vs Alliance aspect of it. We aren't rolling in bodies on Terenas (although we are getting more and more which is wonderful), and we're a PvE server.
