Spend some of that cash, hire engineer that did work on GW2/whatever recent MMO "mega servers" where you launch new zones whenever you need some, done. The technological advantage of the mega server-type tech is that you only need as many servers as you have players. Any zone that sits unused...

That's if you really, really, want it now, now, now. And can upgrade your barn to 3 almost immediately. Each character with a barn on your account can (and probably will, because that's easy) make 6 work orders per day that contribute to unlocking a level 3 barn. You need to place 125 work...

Seconded. This stuff is a wonder; you have all the treasures and all the rares on your map. Regarding the missions, the big thing is that you always get the XP for the follower. The chest is what you get only if you succeed. As a rule, I don't care much if they get a +XP mission or not. What...

Not for rare artefacts. Your alts can find it again, but not the main.

Looks like a Korean-made Diablo.

Those on servers that were restarted after the maintenance (around 1pm CET) seem to be fine.

Jump on every single mission that rewards GR. I get two or three a day for 30-35 resources, which is a lot better than waiting for the 1/10mn timer.

The only reason to go to Frostfire Ridge as Alliance is to grab Dagg for your garrison. Although I assume you can also try to kill the rares there for additional Garrison Resources. (of course, if you're on a PvP server... well, tough for you)

If you look at the zone map with the quest selected, you'll see all the groves where small trees spawn, which you can harvest. Never found any tree outside the garrison, but the two next closest areas had enough trees. Note that you still see the trees even when you have 10, but apparently...

On Dalaran-EU, average time between server crashes is about 90-100mn. But the Draenor zone are server-shared, we get all kind of people from adjacent servers, which is a terrible mistake...

I think the idea is to swap the Barracks for a Bunker/War Mill as soon as you get 98 or close to Nagrand (which is probably the former) for the upgrades to quest reward which boost a bit your ilvl before you enter max level dungeons. Until then, use the Barracks patrol missions to level your...

Well, they did implement reverse instancing, in which all kind of people from various servers end up on the same zone. Which isn't going to be an issue in Draenor. Even non high pop servers are going to get pretty crowded.

Sounds a good idea. I've got far too many pandaria inks in stock.

The classic solution about having both TP, and meaningful travel is limited resource. A Tale in the Desert in its early versions had "offline running". When you disconnected, you could set activities to be "performed" while offline. You could harvest a few things... or run somewhere. You...

Actually, it would be fun to be called by said Lich King for help, and we then spend the entire expansion fighting alongside hordes of undead presumably against the Legion (that's the only bad guys I see him getting out of that seat to fight against). Capital city is now the Citadel, with a...

The short answer is: don't. Or at least don't go out specifically to farm for professions. The only profession that apparently needs to be 575+ is Archeology. You can't do anything in Draenor if you don't have 575+ because no digs will show up. Otherwise, if you have a profession at 1...

Thisone, yes. And it can be easily reworked by dropping the "slay cultists" request, move Jack Bauden (in less than 24h, no less) to some random building back, and done. But yea. That would require someone from the quest team to rework it slightly.

The Darkmoon Fairecosmetic wings.

Which apparently does as much damage as a Fiery Avenger. Which in turn does less than a kick with a good shoe.

Levelling to 90 is still important, notably for those profession alts (although with 3-item restriction, it's not as much important as it used to be). Most of my prof alts in Cata and MoP got fed their components, got their skills to 525/600, then, when I had time, I got them leveled. It...

I'm talking strict ilvl from Wowhead dump. Anyway, the point is relatively moot: unless you're farming mythic right now, nothing you do will let you have stuff that lasts more than the time it took you to get it.

Quick data dump from quest info on WoWhead: Shadowmoon/Frostfire Ridge (90-92): 512-517 (replaces your Timeless Isle & improved) Gorgorond (92-94): 522-531 (replaces your SoO LFR) Talador (94-96): 545-560 (replaces Normal/Improved LFR/heroic/Improved normal) Spires of Arak (96-98): 568-586...

I confirm, got it as well for the first kill after I came back last week (heroic).

Production pipeline problems. Their main problem is that they insist(ed?) on having a single unified team for everything WoW. The same team is simultaneously juggling patching current WoW, producing the next tier of raids/dungeons/storyline, producing the next expansion, and pre-producing the...

There's already panels about the Warcraft movie. And they wouldn't hide it anyway, it's official and all that.

Speculation is now going rampant about The Eye of Azshara trademark just filed as usual with the smallest lead time for leaks before official announce. While a lot of people associate it with Hearthstone and the goblin theme already teased for their expansion, there's of course some that...

WowHead has one for all tastes I disagree on the Inn being necessary (besides the fact that you only have 2 medium plots). You get every type of encounter counters as followers in quests and clicky objects. Does the Storehouse provide really additional apexis? I thought it didn't had any...

I stand corrected, I'm still confused with old improvements during 5.0/5.1 which I remember being +5 ilvl/improve . So basically, it's Spires of Arak material. Outdoor zones quests ilvl: 1st zone: 512-517 Gorgorond: 522-531 (LFR) Talador: 545-560 (Normal/Improved LFR/heroic/Improved...

Mythic is ilvl 566, plus 20 if you upgrade it to 586. 586 is the ilvl of Spires of Arak quest drops. So improved Mythic should last you until the last zone/level 96+ dungeons. (if you are lucky with a Warforged drop, you get to outlast all outdoor content, except the handful of last quests...

The fact that Tuesday isVeteran's Dayis probably a factor in that decision.

This is funny because I remember exactly the opposite. By the time GoD rolled on us, I was in a relatively casual guild, doing dungeons, slightly older raids, and whatnot. And we were barely affected by GoD. In fact, GoD basically was a golden opportunity for us to get some levels (half of what...

Original XP for Pandaria: 85-86 -> 8.5m XP 86-87 -> 10m XP 87-88 -> 12.5M 88-89 -> 15.25m XP 89-90 -> 18.37m XP Current: 520 to 570k xp per level.

Just a minor nitpick: in EQ, raiding population was a minor part of the player population. You had about 30 servers for 550k subs, average 18k players per server, and for each server three or four guilds raiding at the current expansion level, with maybe a dozen guilds doing some regular raiding...

Counterpoint: EVE Online launched in 2003. It has grown in subs at a regular rate for 10 years+ now. People unsub and resub all the time, even 5 years later. People don't get magically tired after 5 years. People will get tired after 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 8 years, 10 years of playing...

And sometimes stupid. I remember someone in EC asking for a port to South Ro. For like 20mn, by which people were saying him "you know, if you just ran there, you'd have arrived a long time ago".

That was essentially what MMOs were before Ultima Online. UO is when the transition went from pay-by-hour to subscription. And now, we're transitioning to a mostly freemium/F2P cash shop model. (about every MMO who attempts subscription ends up transitioning. Save the elephant)

But if that's available, then his friends will yell at him for taking 30mn to come to the dungeon where they're all waiting for his Ogre Warrior ass (well scratched). You use a TP not because you want to travel to point A, but because you have something to do at point A. If the goal is...

Yup. My point wasn't that WoW was good, it was that, once a valid alternative was available, the vast majority left and never came back. EQ went from 500k subs at end of 2004 to 200k subs at end of 2005. With an installed base (which is always resistant to change). Try to launch a game...

How is that different from the "you need to get to the fly path and enable the gryphon master"? Except for the boring flight over a landscape you've already seen dozen times.

What did you expect from guys whose purpose is to be there to kill their queen "just in case"? Eternal gratitude? They worship you. And they kill you the instant you need killing. The Garrison looks like a good iteration on it. You manage it, you're not expected to act as a peon for a bunch of...
