Did you try asking that question in the General Chat? Or maybe Looking For Group. Good sources of information.

How much are mounts on here? should be hitting 40 soon, are they reduced prices for the lower mount?
I think it was 90 instead of 100. At 40 you will get mail for a quest to see someone about it.

You get a quest for the mount. Riding speed is completely tied to riding skill, not mounts. You can take the free mount from the quest and buy epic riding skill and travel at epic speed.

Level 40 riding skill 100g (reduced by faction bonuses)
Level 60 riding skill 1000g (reduced by faction bonuses)

7 more levels to go. I've kind of avoided dungeons except GMM, so I've had to grind once or twice after running out of quests (doing the -50% exp challenge). It's been fun though, and met some interesting people doing the elite quests lol.

I never used shaman Far sight until last night trying to find a devilsaur for a quest. I had NO idea you could chain cast it over and over, and cover an entire zone in seconds (it shows spawns near your sight location) Kind of neat

Ahh i wasnt sure if reducing the price would be a QOL thing or not since its on a WOTLK client. Since they took their site down, and their discord (both epoch and ascension) are awful to find info on now its a little annoying to find any information on customized shit now

Really hoping they (Epoch or Ascension team) communicate with the player base this month on raids and phases. Kazan is down from 8-9k at peak to about 4k, from what I’ve seen.

This radio silence isn’t good.

There's always Turtle if they eventually shit the bed I guess. The Fire Hardened Mail quest I found to be bugged, I finished it but the NPC wont accept the item turn in.

This really pissed me off as you have to go all over for the items.

I’ve skipped that quest chain for 20 years

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 are putting most of their eggs in the Bronzebeard release basket.

At one point they said there was 40k+ trying to log onto Epoch at one time, which had they been able to keep most of them....would have been amazing.

Epoch had the hype of the private server community at fever pitch, it was just released about 6 months to a year too early imo.

Would be willing to bet that Ascenion pulled them in to try to capitalize on Epochs hype and hope they could rope some of those followers into the Asencion servers.

It depends on if they can get a dev team together to continue working on the server. If we hear that they have a team in the next 2-4 weeks, then I'd say the server will be just fine. This server was never going to keep 10k people around. Classic never does. Even at 4-6k (on euro prime time) it's a perfectly healthy population for a classic server. It all depends now if they can come up with people who want to continue to work on it.

It’s the only Classic + option out and it’s good, just needs refinement.

I have a feeling that by the time my hamstrung ass gets to 60, the population will be hurting. Once BB releases, it'll likely be in a death spiral. Especially the pvp server. Time will tell. 6.5 more levels to go but RL only gives me an hour or so a day, sooo... lol

The custom quests are neat, but so many of them are bugged that you can't really enjoy them, because chances are you won't be able to finish the chain quest.

Did Sunken Temple with a PUG. They added a mechanic to the end boss, Shade of Erika or whatever, that spawns red orbs randomly. No grace period to dodge, so you end up getting 30 adds spawned all with a lot of HP. It sapped my will to do dungeons completely.

/no regrets doing the -50% exp challenge.

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 original Epoch devs wanted I think.

With it now under the Ascencion umbrella, and all the devs behind Epoch gone, why would Ascenion waste a lot of dev time if the goal was to not really monetize it?

I think the idea behind Epoch was outstanding, and it is what led me to private servers in the first place.

I want Epoch to succeed, that way people have a choice of what kind of experience they are looking for ( until Blizzard tries to shut them down too )

You can buy WC3 and play custom maps on LAN, but you cant buy WoW and pay them hundreds in subs + xpacs then play a custom server. Stupid.

As I am in no rush I have no problem waiting around a few months and doing whatever. If they shit the bed by End of the Year, whatever I'll go play something else.

PvPers giving up on PvP so soon? Never thought I'd see the day.....

Gurubashi was 3800 when I was on yesterday

At 2am it went down to 1200 or something

I understand the plight of people who think they're bad ass then decide PvP is "stupid" when they cant crack an 1800 arena rating
