Best thing they could do is bring private servers into the fold, or stop the fucking rampant betting in their versions. People don't have a problem paying $15 a month for content that they enjoy that isn't riddled with 5 bots per every real fucking person. Blizzard can eat a bag of dicks if...

No, those are two different currencies.

I'm curious to where all the gold is coming from. Inflation is so fast that it almost seems generated by the devs out of thin air. 4 days ago the gold to DP ratio was like 150-200g per 100 DP. 4 days later it's now 800 to 850g per 100 dp. Several toons are online 24/7 buying up every dp...

I think something messed up on their restart. I was playing just fine this morning and then they shut down to fix phasing. Try to log back on and get sent to a WoTLK splash screen like its a normal Blizzard server and can no longer connect. Even launching from inside the file doesnt work now.

I only made it to 20 in BB, so I dont have a ton of experience there. I do know that all the starting areas have a new area to explore, as well as they have the world forged loot placed in various places that you find as you explore. For example, Mulgore has an area that's lvl 3 to 5 with an...

Turtle is an outstanding option for you. I enjoyed my time there and there is a ton of additional content there.

If I'm Ascenion, I just sunset Epoch. Once the devs from Epoch left, that was the end of it mostly. Ascenion took on the hosting, while planning on having the devs do their thing. In return, Ascenion would get a bunch of players into their private servers and maybe get some to play on their...

I am a brand new private server fan. I never had a positive opinion of them based on others feedback. Stopped playing wow hardcore around the end of AQ40, and picked it up casually again during wotlk and basically only hit lvl cap and quit again. Epoch intrigued me, so I tried that for a bit...

The number of people that actually like open world pvp can be counted on 1 hand. This is why every single fucking pvp server ends up 99% alliance or 99% horde. Its mildly interesting the first few weeks of the server and then it turns into roaming gank squads doing everything they can to...

The Epoch devs themselves said that they really only wanted a server that held around 200 people, with a few raiding guilds in there. From the sounds of it, Epoch was developed out of a labor of love and passion, and not monetization. The hype train basically was the downfall of what the...

I don't think Epoch has much of a future to be honest. The Epoch team stepped away from the project completely per their main dev. Ascension was given the road map and planned to follow it. With the lack of monetization, and the rapidly declining population base, id venture to say that they...

You must have been on a time locked server, because EQ was well past Kunark when it came out. If I remember correctly, it was on to Omens of War before WoW and EQ2 released. That would mean you missed Velious, Luclin, PoP and GoD.

Having never played it prior, thst was the only option that came up. They already responded that you just had to log in and play for about 30 mins and then you would have other options. Edit..added screenshot.

Coinbase was the name I think? Guess there is no way to donate without crypto. Not that I found anyways.

Was going to look into Ascension, but no way Im uploading my DL or Govt ID to some crypto site. Fug that shit. Will keep turtling.

What kind of population numbers does ascension servers have?

So what is the appeal of Bronzebeard? To preface, Im brand new to the wow private server thing. Heard about Epoch and was hooked, ended up in Turtle. It would seem Bronzebeard will only be raid logging in no time. They are allowing transfers of heirlooms from other servers, so from the...

Some private server named Everlook just announced their shut down on 21 Sept due to Blizzard threatening them.

Sept 21st I think

I never even gave a 2nd thought to a private server until I heard about Epoch. Gott caught up in the excitement and ultimate disappointment in launch and figured Id give Turtle WoW a go on their new server. Ive had a pretty good time there to be honest. With the new pending lawsuit on...

While I had a wonderful time in EQ, I thin nostalgia and rose covered glasses about sums up the memories. Back in that time frame, a living 3D world was brand new and people were excited to play in it. People would bookmark Allakhazam, Everlore, Mage Compendium, Ranger Glade or whatever....go...

Which could just be avoided with a VPN right?

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?
