We're also open for suggestions on how to improve the realm population, please post any suggestion here.

[skyreaker24]

maybe a vendor that also offer some PVE gear should be placed, especially for tanks bechause the tyrannical gear doesn't have the required stats like dodge,parry,etc. for most of the tank specs.

A weekly quest from raids/dungeons and/or arena/battleground wich rewards vote points to account (or something like specail vote point how you did last year, to be spent on fun/transmog items on both realms). This will bring some activity on Mop Realm. Or another type of reward wich affects both realms but wich can be obtain only on Mop realm.

[Kindredz]

we need a vendor with gems, enchants/glyphs and conq points reset 3 times per week and what is this vendor with only 1 item ?? https://imgur.com/a/f7RDL

[sergy]

conquest points should be earned, otherwise they`ll lose value and there'll be no difference between honor or conquest points. I think keeping just honor gear in vendors is fine.

maybe raise the conquest points gained in battlegrounds to the value of an arena? u`ll still be motivated to do arenas because u`ll do them faster, but since BGs are easier for most players, and since you find BGs more often, AND because you have more chances to win one, i think is fine to raise the reward.

pve gear the same. You won't feel the need to go in raids if items are there. The game is about raising your character, not clearing everything.

[kindolee79]

Hello, Maby we can get some faster way, to get rep like 5x rep instead of 1x would be great so we can get some better gear for it:)

[Unrael]

My opinion is that you opened Legion server too soon , you could at least wait until we kill Garrosh :/ Yes i play on Legion but its not that fun as it was on MoP back then.. But from this point i think you should release full SoO as soon as possible , SoO is the main reason why MoP has no population atm . I know a lot of people from Legion now and other servers want SoO fully scripted , they will come for sure , trust me. If you do this , you will get at least 30 active players from my guild back to MoP again

[meandyouboth]

there are a few points I've to tell before discussing population :
1) ppl don't play on mop anymore since legion started and it happened in 4 weeks each week we lost 500 players on average, so first thing should be how to make those players happy and courage them to play mop again , most efficient way is wowshop , since nothing is for free bringing up a raiding event like the one that we had before can make a lot of difference with huge rewards and not only for top 3 but also for top 10 , here is an example : event: soo 10n fast run with rewards for first 10 guilds (this is necessary to get back at least 200 players for huge come back on server)
since soo heroic mode is too hard for the current players that main reason why it should be on normal
2) working on soo normal full scripted will be way better than 1 boss release for both normal and hc since with this population and raiders its possible for them to clear it since they cant kill most hc bosses , this will courage current raiders and new joined players to stay
3) wowshop prices should drop by 20% ( not exactly 20 but lowering the price will make changes of lower price and adding extra discounts for short time period ) since we don't have the population like before
so many guilds are dead at the moment some went to legion , some stopped playin ( like my guild) and so on .
i`m 100% sure if your works and decitions as Gms affects 1 player from our famous guilds that we know on boss timers pretty sure rest of players from that guild will atleast give it a try to come back and play mop again... i`ll try to talk my guild mates and discuss more on this topic
Dear GMs thanks for your time and patience ...
keep up your work we all appreciate it.

[jaymzz]

Cross faction chat is cool but can it be changed to something else. I feel like I am yelling with it being in red. Maybe do a red H and a blue A or something that we can see but not so bright as it is now please.

And for people saying shut MOP down...Not all of us like Legion. I tried it on retail and hated it along with a lot of other people. I wish Cata was still here.

[Treat]

We need bots that would run lfr all the time, so people can join and get their items for the legendary cloak.

[trutzcola]

Unfortunately you cannot, you need both instances of the expansions to do so.

[mihai25]

1. Revamp Challenge Mode dungeons. With gear rewards from raids depending what dificulty was completed & timer (bronze/silver/golden). You can add affixes like in legion. Because pop is low we need to make dungeons more relevant. Also most of dungeons dont work propely in CM, they should "re-scripted" one by one and add correct HP of trash&bosses.
Yea is alot of work for this idea to be implemented.
2. If is possible LFR scalled 10-25 players.
3. Increase dmg&hp 20-30% for players in raids N/H? For a limited time (ToT & Soo)

What part of the website is it hard to find?

Regarding streams, here's where players can do them: https://www.wow-freakz.com/streams.php

Events are being made constantly, check the latest one: https://forum.wow-freakz.com/Completed-PvP-One-by-one-Arena-Battle-I-t494331.html

Twitter is not so used rather than Facebook, where also we post everytime something new.

Closed group for what? Here's our Facebook server group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/freakz.ro/

[deathwalker]

event like question and answer about the history of World of warcraft, make a game like playing chess, and about live stream make a channel in discord so any one start live stream will put the link there, an new at your server and i've never heard about it before i played in so many other privet servers like valhala f****** athissa warlegion, so you should make some publicity, and it's the first time that i played in server with less bugs, at this moment am inviting more players here,
and i like to lvl up so i'll bug report all bugged questes :p

[TomTom9]

Hello,

Don't understand why population is low in mop because the server and scripts are very good.
I suggest wowFreakz to mixt the 2faction for Dungeon Finder PVE.

Best

[medowow77]

Just increase the drop, professions rates. as one of the quests leveling lovers, i hate to see myself struggling daily to get professions leveled little !!!!
Garrison should be working too, why not dear Sir???

WOW is not about PVP only, this is QUITE boring.

[Grimmxsh]

Please scale down (dmg + hp) Ordos, Celestials and LFR to 15 or 10 man (if something like that is even possible). There's hardly any of those raids going on, even though people need them (it's just too hard to get 25 people constantly).

[Fyury]

The main reason why people are playing MoP is Siege of Orgrimmar. The vendor in each starting zone is giving you pvp items with ilvl 498 and people are doing only SoO. I would recommend that the vendors sell ToT Heroric items or Flexible SoO items. I want to play again MoP because you are releasing the last Bosses of SoO, but I can't do it. I have a itemlevel about 527. Nobody would invite me for SoO Flex or Normal mode.

[Repitchx]

Do gms delwte every post because salty? I came with suggestions. Instead of deleting my post, edit it or ask me. I know you dont like me, but at least try to be neutral.

Suggestion:

2s and 3s tournaments

More focus on mop pvp fixes, hopefully A bit less for legion

Advertisment for the server

Get QA ranks for pvp veterans of the server

[bube90]

Vendor with PvE gear and scaling MoP raids would be so usefil cuzz making raids with 120-130 ppl max online is pretty hard.

[Grimmxsh]

I know you probably don't like the idea of a gear vendor (even if it's just LFR gear), but it is fairly hard for new players to get decent ilvl for SoO (540+).

So instead of handing out free gear (with no effort) you should improve the existing ways of getting gear:

- 100% drop chance for an item (and make them drop 2?) on Ordos / Celestials
- increase SoO/ToT Hc trash item drop rate (2% is way too low ...)
- increase Timeless Coin rate or/and reduce prices for Burdens / Trinkets

For PvP:

- reduce the amount of people needed to start a BG (5v5, reduce the amount of people needed to keep the BG open as well, otherwise it will just close after 4min)
- increase Honor / Conquest rate in general or just for the Thunder Isle Dailies

Also would it be possible to get faction change for vote points again, since Alliance is pretty much dead in terms of PVE (There's still 2 Horde Guilds raiding / recruiting).

Make The Lion Roars quest click-to-compltete because on a server with 120player at max peak its almost impossible to get in a battleground and impossible to get in the wanted battleground not mentioning it has to be won.

Dungeon groups are already cross-faction.

event like question and answer about the history of World of Warcraft

We already have a group of Game Masters dedicated to organizing events on Genesis. If you have any event-related suggestions, feel free to PM me and I will forward them to everyone else.

[Shocker]

Just an update: I've seen A LOT of good suggestions here and will implement most of them (PvE downscaling, maybe increased drop rates, etc). We will start doing this next week

[mR.Probz]

Maybe you could increase the drop chance on loot or some items.

[metinibo]

So i saw this post gotta say someting also. 1. Events. a) i think a toy battle / transformation battle would be something interesting.. cause you know.. lots of ppl got toys and i think of it to be with judges and notes and 1/2/3 winners for best farmers/colectors etc.
b) something like an OX event back from metin2, but with wow history question, 80% until mop because.. we are playing on it.. but maybe even some from legion/draenor, with i don t know.. mounts * not too expensive/rare * gold or recipes or shards something like those... as prize
c) Pet battle events like arena, organized by a gm with all those with atleast 2 pets of lvl 25 who want to participate and maybe with a kind of prize..

2. more gm's interaction with population.. i though about something.. just saying: twink runs made by gm's .. im telling that before legion i had on my 80 twink a guild with at least 20 twinks of 80 and we made half of icc 10n with 8 /10 80 twinks.. could be something interesting and i think people would come if it would be made by gm and for fun.. maybe for some shards farm or.. ulduars cause there is hard too..

3. yes reducing shop, but only vp shop not the donation, and i think adding vendors with gems/glyphs/ench etc not a good ideea cause problem here is not that gear is not good, is that there is not eneugh ppl for lfr and other things.. now there are 60-150 ppl on mop though i don't know why cause 2 weeks ago was about 150-250.. and maybe some promovation more.. or something that people like i don't know what but i think gm's with experience should have any ideea what would make at least 200 ppl to be more constantly online on server which would make the server a lil bit alive and not needed anymore for those instant etc.

4. ! Crossfaction guilds for twinks, pve and pvp. !

i hope my english is understood, and not that bad i wrote those in 2 minuts and i wasn't watching good what i wrote

[meandyouboth]

pve downscaling needs a lot more detail and a lot of work cause
1) 10h/n downscaling from 10 to 7 or lower wont help to do full run cause of boss mechanics even though if u drop HP won't work cause u have to change boss ability`s (for example damage done by specific ability) which requires a lot of work for a single boss and for soo with 13 bosses it will be chaos .
2)25h/n downscaling 25 to 20 might work but for -20 thok the bloodthirsty mechanics won't let us pass also other bosses have mechanics that with downscaling u will just make the raid impossible to progress.
keep in mind for 10n 2tanks/2heals is needed by lowering boss HP tank role won't be reduced cause of boss mechanics.(kor Kron dark shamans requires 3 tanks )
both tips that I mentioned above are for the siege of orgrimar raids u can try pve downscaling for tot n/hc but for soo it won't help u might just make a big mistake and lose other raiders by doing it.
Siege of orgrimar downscaling will take so much work for a developer even harder than an existing boss cause they are so many factors which by changing affects other things. but if u have other ideas about pve downscaling let us know I just mentioned soo raid .

) something like an OX event back from metin2, but with wow history question

I actually hosted such an event yesterday. It had few questions and a companion as a prize, because I was merely testing the waters. Something similar took place on the Freakz Discord a while ago. If you're interested, we'll do that on a larger scale.

[RastiSlavCZE]

Cross-faction for free would be nice, because all of the good alliance guilds are dead.

[metinibo]

Vote points transmog gear items to have a maximum Item Level of 495, as starting free gear is 496 + items dropped on timeless are >496 495, with the restrictions needet for items like sun-lute or things that are in game only donated or by quests etc to be excluded. for example, i saw some items of ILVL 470-480 which are looking nice and i would like to have.

yes i participated in it, it was very interesting and i would want to see more, maybe with even more questions, the prize was also interesting, and beside i just wanted to say that the hate i saw after is a common one, any event that will be ever made, will have some haters/hate, i was thinking when i wrote that sugestion, that for example, if there would be 60-85 players online, a gm would make a raid with max to 40 ppl and on /raid ppl who joined could participate, if more ppl -> more raids that being said only for making the job easier in my opinion. and i also though that there could be at least 2-3 corect answers.. like when there are on global/raid or ehre is the event made 2 corect answers the gm to announce, first ones to answer corect are: -name- cause being only 1 winner/question with a 5-6 question event is kinda hard for ppl to even participate when there are more ppl to know the lore

[metinibo]

Instant npc's level : 60 70 80 and 85 for twink players/those who want to learn their character but having a litle start, and cross faction guilds as mentioned before cause they would be a really good thing to pve, pvp and twinking also.

[infearno455]

Instant Level 90 is actually a pretty good thing, but you should really add PVE gear as well.
