Yeah someone on the subreddit mentioned two other streamers plan to roll RP-PvP with Venruki. I think it's the Asmongold/Sodapoppin/Esfand/StaySafe/Tipsout crowd that most people are trying to avoid though.
They're all rolling on the same one? Confirmed?
P.S. Is the poll revotable?

Regarding confirmation, no not really. I was watching Esfand's Twitch and he mentioned two other streamer names (can't remember off the top of my head) so I don't know if they are ALL going in the same one, but several of them are planning on rolling together.
There is an 'Avoid Streamers' Discord ( https://discord.gg/nVkwP8c ) for people to share and discuss this, and also a website here: https://www.avoidstreamers.com/ .
Yes the poll is revotable, but for good measure I plan to reset it after name reservations so that we can make a decision knowing where the big streamers are going.

Thanks! I knew about the website but not the discord.
Might be worth some relevance to this thread.
Staysafe just sent out this update:

My money is on Herod.
They're keeping both Faerlina and Herod open to see which one they get their names on.
They only threw us Thalnos because it is the weakest name in their opinion. Personally, I'm not too interested in Thalnos either and will watch to see where the dust settles before making big decisions.
Take note that they even left Whitemane open as a last resort despite it not being in the right time zone. Three of the five PvP servers. What does that tell us?
Each of the streamers is going to try to create the best name they can on each of the three servers. After they do, they'll decide which of the servers they'll use. They would really rather have Whitemane than Thalnos which is interesting from the server location perspective, but likely their last resort.

I agree that we should revisit this after name reservations.
With respect to Thalnos, are you aware of anything tied to that server that is making you not particularly keen on it? We could all benefit from inside information if so. :mrgreen:
New information: Brazilians are going to Thalnos. That will lead to additional fragmentation between English/Portuguese speakers. Personally I'm now leaning towards Herod or Faerlina, whichever one the Streamers decide not to go to next week.
Come to Grobbulus, ain't no streamers going there.

Venruki, Soni and Ziqo are going to Grobbulus, but they are relatively low impact streamers. Main consideration is for those of us who want to stick to a NA East realm to optimize latency.
At this point the only guarantee for NA East PvP is that a significant number of Brazilian players will roll on the Thalnos realm (at least 11 guilds based on a recent announcement in the Thalnos Discord), primarily on Horde side.
Based on the current status of this poll and the other NA thread is that Faerlina is the current preferred realm of Barrens Chat denizens.
This is possibly due to the existence of a Reddit census showing Faerlina as having the best faction balance (just about 50/50 whereas Herod and Thalnos are roughly 60/40 in favor of Horde).
Ultimately the situation is subject to change if and when we receive updates from the Streamers regarding their server of choice, which may happen after name reservations next week.
Yea, I'm hoping Faerlina holds up as a good home for us East PVP players
Pisses me off there is not an east coast rppvp server. I guess I'll probably end up going to Faerlina with everyone else if that ends up being the one the barrens chat crew lands on once we know what the bulk of the streamers are doing.

Agreed, all the pre-realm announcement hype about RP-PvP got me interested, but as an avid PvPer I want to be in a server that's as low latency as possible.
