It does sound like they are planning on doing the vanilla honor system, yeah. Have fun competing against your own faction! If it really is not implemented until the same time as BWL/ZG though, I won't be even slightly tempted to push for PvP ranks so thats good. Bloodvine plus assorted MC/BWL...

They confirmed progressive content gating at the Blizzcon panel, so at launch we will have MC/Ony/Azuregos/Kazzak/DM, and battlegrounds and honor system won't be added until BWL/ZG. Still possible to be changed but that's where they are right now. 16 debuff limit confirmed. Other shit too, look...

If they only have it in the starting area for the first few days I don't see an issue. If you run into situations with servers having multiple Kazzak/Azuregos spawns, redundant black lotus spawns, etc then that would be no bueno. Although it will be interesting to see whether the servers have...

I’ve been considering reclaiming my dude too. Sold him after a few months of TBC with glad mount and BT gear, started fresh in wotlk and quit again after doing the first few raid zones. No idea if the character still exists or not.

I remember healers LOSing them, but did they stay in LOS of the tank too?

Lately people have been talking about WoW boss strats that involve LOSing healers to avoid boss mechanics. Someone refresh my memory, what was the first EQ fight that incorporated this? Weren’t there fears and manadrains way the fuck back that healers hid from?

Choker of the Firelord was bis for quite a while too. Plus a few other items were still useful into AQ/Naxx.

Debuff slots were a shitshow for all of vanilla, even when they doubled the limit to 16 which is what this server will have if they use the 1.12 patch. That being said, MC will be a complete joke on this server, especially if Dire Maul is unlocked and other items have their 1.12 stats. Any...

It'll be 1.12 talent trees afaik, not the earlier vanilla ones. Not sure if that's what you meant by "old" or not. Also wtf do you mean by hunters being on top lol

What do you mean by sub optimal? DPS warriors are top tier in MC/BWL and #1 in AQ and Naxx. Every vanilla private server is like 30% warriors.

No, that did not exist in vanilla. You needed to get all your gear by 19/29/etc and then just do BGs without turning in any marks. Winning BGs gave rep but no exp so as long as you didn’t do anything but BGs you could stay at your level forever.

Yes. The $10 starter offers are by far the best deal in the game, and Black Widow is the best character available in the starter deals.

If you started playing at launch top 500 is definitely doable without whaling. I did 600k in the last Vision blitz with some blitz charges to spare. You need some weak teams that can win a few times at tiers 1-3, I do three level one minions and two stronger characters that are 500-1500 power...

I think you are giving Trion way too much credit. These are the same people that launched the server without noticing during testing that as soon as you ding level 10 you get a shitload of items in the mail including an instant level 50 boost. They're scrambling every step of the way and level...

The level 40+ zones give 1-1.5 levels of exp each with the current buffed quest numbers. The exp requirements per level curve up at a huge rate in the 40s and you are right back in the same situation of needing to grind dozens of dungeons to level.

There really wasn't a reason for non-druids to go there other than a silithus quest iirc. It wasn't locked to other classes or anything.

He actually said "should UBRS be 5 or 10 man?" which hopefully was just a mistake or something because if not then who the fuck knows.

I believe you could queue for BGs in cities starting in patch 1.7, long before 1.12.

The progression servers are/were nothing like original EQ. There are better items, better spells, much faster exp zones, etc. Plus the big difference is the EQ servers progress through the expansions. As of right now, WoW classic is just the original game. It's very likely that they will do...

Being able to quest to 60 later in vanilla on fresh servers doesn't mean it was the same in 1.1-1.2 when people were hitting 60 after the initial launch. More shit in the higher zones was added that made a big difference. Plus, you know, having Maraudon, Dire Maul, etc...

Especially with the original mechanics for negative resists (and also most tanks not knowing how exactly to generate optimal threat). When a target had negative resists your spells had a chance to deal an extra 25-100% damage. Even with the early threat meters, a random shadowbolt crit also...

The last guild I was in on an emu server, most members had active wow subs already. The money might keep some people away but not many.

9 days /played was fast by release standards, I'd say 12-15 was closer to average and that's for people who actually pushed to 60 and raided. Many people did have to grind in the mid/late 50s at launch because there were a lot fewer quests available at 50+. Silithus was basically empty, the...

Nostalrius launched as a Vanilla-only server I believe, and said that progressing to TBC was a possibility after a few years but no gauarantee. And they had several hundred thousand unique players as an emu server. What makes you think official servers will attract fewer people than that? I'd...

Thanks!

What UI is that? Looks nice and simple.

I was on Nameless but not super high end. Mostly raided with BoD in Luclin/PoP.

Disregard, thought you were talking about picks.

This is the "never loot" list from the look of it, lots of nodrop newbie quest garbage that can't be turned in until later expansions unlock.

Phinny opened on December 9, 2015, a Wednesday. Lockjaw opened on a friday because Ragefire was so slammed on the Wednesday it opened that they decided to make a second server, maybe that's what you're thinking of?

I'm pretty sure I'll be three boxing but classes are still up in the air atm so I'm trying to get a better sense of the pet situation. I know how pets work with regards to raidboss aggro and such, what about for leveling though? If there are pets and melee classes attacking a mob, will the pets...

Will it be available on Agnarr? They said the cash shop would be limited/restricted early on I thought.

That'll be interesting. There are a variety of stackable loots from noobie yards that are like 2.5g each that certainly make buying spells simpler. I haven't found any 2pp+ drops from level 4-8 mobs though.

Do you have any examples? I checked Almars site and I've also leveled in a few different zones but I didn't find anything that vendors for that much. There's definitely plenty of newer drops but they tend to be a few gold each, not a few plat.

The launch date hasn't been announced yet, "early summer" is all that's been said. Previous servers have typically opened on a Wednesday evening though.

Race changing monk to Iksar, still haven't figured out what else I'll be playing though.

You don't even need to create the heroic character, do you? You log in on any character and it gives your account credit for one heroic, which I believe you can redeem whenever you want. You just need to log in on any character today to get the credit.

Oh damn that's amazing, I didn't know that.

That's solid. Seems like the Origin port plus bind/gate makes it pretty easy for casters to vendor and grab spells every few levels too. Monk will be a little more of a pain but grabbing the special attacks prior to flying kick don't seem super important so once Mend is capped and you have FD...

I picked up a bag with a frostbringer in one of the houses in rivervale, not long after Velious launched. Goddamn was I a happy kid. Sucks to be whoever lost it though.
