What are the odds that Turtle / Epoch / Ascension are brought down? I'd love to dedicate some time to them,but not if the likelihood of them being brought offline was high.

I tried Anniversary Classic. What I saw was rampant RMT, tons of gold buyers / sellers. The entire world was empty for the most part because everyone was paying IRL cash for boosts start at like lvl 8 to 60. In the random chance that you happened to be out mining or herbing, you saw nodes...

Quite frankly I think Blizz should let the private servers lead the way so that they can try to replicate what the players want. Blizzard has done nothing but destroy it's own player base in wow with all of their decisions, so why not let a private srrver show them how it's done and then wow...

I had never played a private server prior to trying Epoch. I prefer the leveling experience vastly compared to the raiding exp. After more than a couple of tiers of raiding came out, my in game life had to revolve around doing something that got old fast. During Vanilla, on my server, my...

I was on a hunter, so I didnt have near the problems some of the other classes did. Having said that, by my mid 30s I was losing steam. Im not sure what the catalyst was. But between having minimal bag space and having to run vendor every few minutes, or if it was the phasing / layering to...

Game has run butter smooth and the drvs seem to fix things on the fly. Impressed with this team so far.

Anyone doing any of the challemge modes the first time through?

Epoch is a classic + version of wow. New mobs, new abilities, better crafting, new zones, new instances etc. Ascension is the one that's a radically different playing game of WoW. I think it's outstanding that both sides of the spectrum are available, so people have a solid choice of which...

Just for fun. The main lead that is fixing the game and communicating with everyone ( Dutch ), said there is no way a line will form that long. Currently its almost to the Deadmines. This is part of the stress test, he has announced that they will be making another update tonight, but I feel...

There is a solid single file line of people all the way from Goldshire to Sentinal Hill. Ive never seen anything like it.

Ive never done the private server thing, but this Epoch thing intrigued me. So many people were upset at the lack of progress on Epochs failed launch, and then was made that some Ascension group got it and offered to help. In a matter of only a few days, the progress that this Ascension team...

Apparently they just had 2k players in Elwynn with no issue and running debuf software. 5.1k online

One of the devs posted on his youtube that Epoch is at least a month away at the earliest I believe, so we can probably pack this one up for awhile.

I plan on giving it a try if I can get my graphics situation figured out, but will end up on the new Turtle vs the old server.

For me, I am having trouble with the massive downgrade in graphics from normal classic to Turtle. Now, I have seen videos of Turtle that look amazing and realize there is something probably wrong on my end. Everything seems to black , dark, and washed out...almost like textures arent loading...

Downloaded and tried Turtle. Game looks like dogshit for some reason. Project Epoch looked great ( in the few hours in game I got ), no clue wtf I did wrong here.

So I am seeing that the new Turtle wow server will be European. Ive never done private servers before, will that have any real effect on performance?

So if this doesn't manage to make it up this week, it will probably a lot more work to get it ready than the think. What is the best alternative for a classic + server that is relatively fresh?

Open world pop is a disaster in every aspect. It's nothing more than a gankfest 99.9% of the time and it results in a very few people being able to control the lack of enjoyment for many. Every mmo thst tries to go down this route fails, as it results in nerf after nerf on classes and...

What is the real difference between turtle and epoch?

Personally think they would be better off just canceling this launch and schedule for a month or so out. Right now you have thousands of people spamming every second to get in and its pissing everyone off. Just make an announcement that they didn't anticipate this demand, and need X amount...

I think people just want a somewhat new amount to play that is fun. Every mmo that I can think of that has released in the past 5 to 10 years has been terrible. Whether it be in features, performance, or tuning...they all suck. Wows foundation was outstanding and it just got out of control...

It was nothing but 1,000+ retards spamming. Nothing was lost.

Something to do with them capping the level at 15 to keep the player base close together while people couldn't log in. Apparently completing quests after you hit 15 and would no longer give you experience was paying out a lot of gold.

The key to getting in is waiting for them to bring down the server and then trying your luck and resetting you spot in the que. Folks have said they have sat in the que 3 to 4 hrs, and then there is an unannounced server restart that kicks everyone and restarts the process.

I woke up this morning around 430am and saw that the que was 7500 deep. Its gonna be awhile before this is playable I think.

Most of that is due to pvp not having a rank decay. All of your hardcore guilds are pushing a majority of rank 14 warriors that make all of classic encounters trivial. Back in the day, if you were into pvp, you knew the rank 14s by name. Now they are shit out by the 100s. There's a handful...

I'm somewhat excited about new mobs, new quests, new zones, few new dungeons, and some profession upgrades. None of those are in any Blizzard supported servers now except SoD. Nothing on the mmo horizon that looks appealing anymore anyways.

I think mage was wildly popular due to their AoE farming capabilities. If thats been removed, I can see their popularity plummeting. I know a ton of people who had pocket mages, but not that many mains.

How is the bottting scene on private servers? I enjoyed some time on anniversary classic, but it seemed to be filled with a ton of bots and boosters 24/7 that disrupted the economy, as well as made the 8-60 leveling dungeons fairly empty, as everyone was buying gold to boost to 60.

AV was just an ends to a mean. If they removed PVP gear from a vendor that was tied to honor, battlegrounds for the most part would be dead empty.

Where do you download this at at? I think I will give it a go. Right now I'm on classic anniversary, but even with supposedly 10k+ on the server, I feel like it's mostly people being boosted to 60 and then raid logging.

Would seem like its to counteract the AoE boosting / farming that is so prevalent now.

Not trying to ask anyone to convince me of playing or anything, but how are these servers? Are they fun to play and have a population to support them? Im back on an mmo kick and its still sad to say that there is still only 1-4 mmos worth playing and are all almost 15 - 20 years old it seems...

AQ will have more people logging off.... Naxx and TBC will see an influx in population though.

Just way to say thank you for everyone's knowledge and perspective on this, as this is not something that happens except once, maybe twice in our lifetimes. Losing a parent sucks, and a void will certainly be created in our lives. I'm just thankful that my wife and her brother are amicable...

My wife's father passed away very unexpected recently. The short version is that he left behind about a $600k pension and a house that's in fairly bad shape, but a cash offer has been made in the $280k range. The money / house will be split between my wife and her brother. Apparently the...

Sad thing is that after 20+ years, there are really no other alternatives worth playing. You have FF14, GW2, ESO....that's our options. Certainly wish there were more.

The WoW Classic Anniversary servers are quite busy

I used to drive over an hour to go Best Buy back in the late 90s. That store was like a dreamland. Miles of brand new DVDs, tvs that were so massive in size and price ( 48 inch and $4k ), that i would never be able to afford them. Actual home sound systems that weren't home theaters in a box...
