The WoW private server host Elysium-Project will launch the old Nostalrius PvP and PvE realms on December 17, to be more clear around 12pm noon Eastern US Time or 4pm in UK as I wrote previously. They will also launch fresh realm where everyone has to start at Level 1 and many people are waiting for this one to launch. People expected that the fresh server could start days or weeks later, but that is not the case according to one of the latest Elysium blog posts about the launch details:

As some of you may have deduced, the fresh realm will not be available this year. The upcoming holidays mean that many of the staff (and players) will want to spend time with their friends and families. Because of this, we will need to delay the launch of the fresh realm until January. The exact release date of the fresh realm will be announced on the 25th of December.

That means the old realms will start on December 17, and we will have to wait for December 25 to hear the exact release date of the fresh realms. The good news is however that it will happen in January, that’s not far away either. But they opened already the registration page where you can create your account.
