WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

Kronos opens this weekend, hopefully it will either be smaller or alleviate the Nost crowd. I'll be moving there and praying the griefers and campers don't want to level again so soon and stay there on Nost.

Think I will try it as well. Nost, mechanically, I
Is a piece of shit. It makes ed look professionally done. S

I'll be rolling on kronos as well. However I'm torn as I have a few acquaintances that I used to play with that are now playing on Nostalrius. They think that Nostalrius is good enough and don't want to even try kronos.

I'm so disillusioned with Nostalrius' class bugs and poor ai scripting. The aqual quentessence quest was missing, Rag and major domo didn't have loot and ony is unskinable just shows how unpolished this server is. All of the available raid content was completed in its first instance id with 1.4 loot and 8 debuff slots.

The devs intended to increase the difficulty of the game to a degree with the 1.4 changes. I just feel that all that effort was a failure and they should of spent the time instead to fix bugs. Instead we have bugs like spells completing while stunned, priest/mage shields not preventing daze, ab missing spirit healers and mobs back-stabbing from the front.

The only difficulty in any game is not knowing, vanilla will never be hard unless it is clearly made to be borderline impossible, Lich king heroic comes to mind.

People liked the idea of vanilla because it was "hard" but really is just "longer."

You little cunt! What did you roll on Nost and what side will you be rolling on Kronos?

From the bit of beta testing that i did, Kronos is mechanically way better than Nost. Did a run of Uldaman last night, on Nost; and to my surprise the Ironaya event works perfectly. On the other hand though, warrior charge still isn't fixed. As i've said before, Nost scripting is well done, everything else is shit.

Will be trying Kronos, for sure, not sure what side though.

They're also fixing major problems as soon as they occur and patching bugs every week. While not perfect, Nostalrius is the best vanilla server that has ever been made, which is why there's such an absurd amount of people playing on it. The bugs and scripting issues aren't that bad, none of it is really gamebreaking. If you're "so disillusioned" with this, your expectations were too high. This is the standard for new servers, other ones haven't been better.

Kronos almost certainly won't be any better coded/scripted, either; and who the fuck wants to play on a donate-for-perks server?

I would suggest you actually do some research before spouting off that regurgitate d bullshit from reddit. There's nothing pay to win on kronos and "best vanilla server ever made" made me laugh so hard, what are you 12 years old?

I give nostalrius a year before they are begging for donations to support the server cost and inevitably shut down or go full blown molten donations for bis gear.

Probably ally. Did horde this time but eh, just really wasn't my thing. Only thing that really rubs me about ally is the terrible proximity for SM and SFK. And being closer to Blackrock Mountain is the best.

I really don't think my expectations are too high for a quality server that's been in development for 5 years to have default Mangos bugs fixed and core mechanics like stun working properly. They are fixing bugs and they have fixed one of my complaints so far, absorb shields now prevent daze.

Nostalrius already has a Paypal page setup and they begged for donations so they could upgrade their server. It won't be long before they are begging again.

Yeah, sorry dawg, but this is about as retarded of a post on this matter as it gets. Don't bite too hard into the Nostalrius propaganda. That server is shit. The two things it has going for it are the decent scripting, overall, and the high population. I give it 6 months or so before they start asking for donations given the cost of running that server. Also, show me where Kronos mentions pay-to-win?

Kronos is dope as fuck. There's buggy shit, but day 2 and shit is running smooth as fuck. They're applying fixes on an hourly basis. Population is around 3k (is what people are saying) and tbh that's perfect.

The most important thing is that from a mechanics perspective Kronos is pretty much flawless. Nostalrius is a joke as far as mechanics are concerned. What's the point of even playing where so much mechanical shit is bugged? It's pointless.

Just made a character on Kronos. anyone know if we have a guild on alliance side?

Lower pop than Nost by a lot, but seems better for mechanics. Played the whole day with no dc's or lag also.

It was a 100% more enjoyable day 2 than Nost was. Respawns seem high sometimes, but better than fighting over stuff. Loot not being broken is great.

My biggest problem is vanilla lol classes were so bad in vanilla only a few had decent talents. Paladin blessings are just sooooooooo bad at 5 minutes and 40 man raids makes it even worse.

Kronos is definitely the better sever, I imagine it will have a higher pop when people actually find this out, though I can imagine it would be hard to leave nostalrius after how much time was put in leveling in vanilla with their slow respawns and opening day shenanigans.

After playing wotlk and having paladins so useless is kind of nice though

May I ask what was wrong with Emerald Dream? I dusted off the good old 1.12 WoW and the damn nostalgia feelings are overwhelming me (I met no onion-cutting ninjas so far, which is good, but still...), but the server seems quite fine to me and decently populated as well. I almost forgot how it was sub level 10 to die against a 3 mob pull.
