Greetings Elysium,
Thank you all for your patience while we get the Elysium Fresh PVP realm ready to go on January 7th.
We wanted to give you a quick update on a few items that we believe are important for everyone to know prior to launch.
Black Lotus Mechanic Adjustment
Black Lotus will be made Bind-On-Pickup at release until Zul’Gurub (Patch 1.7). This will take effect on the fresh Elysium PVP server ONLY.
We chose this route because we want the new realm to be as historically accurate as possible. During patch 1.2 to patch 1.7, Black lotus was Bind-On-Pickup. Obviously this is going to make earlier raid content slightly more challenging, as flask consumption will certainly diminish.
Final PVP Update
The final PVP update will be 2 weeks after the release of the Ahn’Qiraj launch for all realms.
The stat updates for the Nostalrius PVP realm will not be reverted.
After much deliberation, we felt that we wanted to provide incentive for PvP players to participate in the game mode and feel rewarded without sacrificing PvE balance.
As the updated PvP sets and weapons are intended to compete with AQ40 weapons and gear, this timing felt like an appropriate compromise. This decision is final and will not be adjusted any further.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the new realm release this Saturday!
