Well as I always enjoyed the leveling process much more than the actual endgame (raiding instances), this seems to be a moment I was waiting for without knowing it. I had tried out a german private server; it was quite decent, but overall, there were single-digit numbers of people in most zones far too often. Basically the whole alliance was leveling exclusively in the human areas. Scripting like escort quests was ok for a private server I guess. Finding people for some of the non-standard quest chains/instances was quite hard, and this was in fact one of my main reasons to come back to wow. Now if for the next days/weeks, this gets just a bit near to what the first weeks after the first release of wow were like, it would be like a dream come true. From what I've seen on nostalrius' twitter/Facebook, 5000 registered accounts and someone complaining about low spawns rates looks promising, but ofc it might be a publicity trick.
edit: It's a PVP-realm!

The only thing that sucks is that I haven't played Vanilla in so long that I don't remember how the classes and talents and shit work anymore lol C'mon, it's like riding a bicycle. I created an elementalist mage with the exact same talents i used to play on Kronos.
About Nos, i read this

Mobs once engaged seemed to work a lot better than on Feenix tho, at least I didn't experience much rubberbanding, mobs glitching around in the air and that kind of stuff.
When it came to "splitting mobs", making a mutliple mob pull reset so you can deal with one at a time, I noticed multiple issues. That again was pretty Feenix like. Threat seemed to be a bit off as well.
For example, after adding a whole camp of Furbolgs in Teldrassil (without any reason actually, I simply tagged one and then suddenly all Furbolgs in a radius of like 20 meter came charging at me, stacking up inside each other, without spreading out at all) I simply ran away, waiting for them to reset, which they eventually did, however, to my surprise, they simple switched target. 2 other Players were walking by, none of them engaged the Furbolgs in any way whatsoever, they were a good 10-15m away from them when the Furbolgs suddenly decided to go ham on them. Wrecking them both without any possible aggro on their side. Odd.
Mob spawning is completely broken and it even appears to be much less than it would be by default.
That's why i asked how it's going and if any of this issues are real, i will try both surely, but i am patient enough. Kronos seems very fluid on pvp.

i just started on Nostalrius as well, are we going to make a teamliquid guild there, horde?
|
Just created a char, i don't know if it's because of the amount of people but i have a very minor rubberbanding. Will keep toying with graphics to see if it's definitly that. Can't say anything because the starting undead zone has like a bazillion people lol.

Personally I've had no lag problems, but yeah Undead zone is brutal.

The population thins out drastically after level 30. Relatively few have the patience required to full level anymore given how tedious it was in retrospect and how easy it is now.
|
So am I to assume that TL will be predominantly horde? And how many US people do we have?
|
Alright Bxanesthetic and I are making a TL guild (Liquid) for Horde on the Nostarius PvP server. I got a Guild charter. PM me your in-game name and I'll add you. My in-game name is "Boite" if you want to add me. Only requirement is that you like to have fun. All nationalities welcome!

Or maybe just not many people nolifed for 18+ hours to get to level 30+ in 24 hours.

Irregardless of how many people we get, unless by some miracle we manage to get 40+ people from only TL we will have to recruit people from outside of TL if we want to do endgame raids.
In any case, we have started a guild and are trying to get a decent player base in order to do dungeons and stuff while we level up. If anyone is interested in joining PM BxAnesthetic or Boite (or anyone from the guild <Liquid> really).

You guys are horde? I'll delete my level 4 warrior and remake I guess. Raided MC and BWL in vanilla. Along with some ZG and AQ. Never made it to Naxx though. I'd like to do so while it's "current" heh.
EDIT: I really need to look up Vanilla talent guides and shit. It's amazing that you can play a game for 10 years and then realize you know nothing about it anymore.
|
15 TL people on and I cant get an invite. fucking balls lol
|
Anyone playing on the beta vanilla mode server Kronos?. I just can't seem to find a thread on the forums or a link, direct download or anything related to downloading the game in question
|
Ok I really gotta do some advertising for Nostalrius Begins now. A few moments ago, it had >5000 players online (horde and alliance combined). From what I've experienced so far, it's looking really good (though I have yet to see and escort quest or a scripted event). At teh moment, it really feels like vanilla wow shortly after release.
|
I agree. I'm having a blast. I dunno how opening of AQ will work. I'm interested to find out because I missed it originally. I actually hated wow the first time I played it and quit at level 15 when it came out lol
|
happy to see this thread having activity after i bumped it a few days ago!
nostalrius is awesome so far, really liking the overall experience. i've seen the threads of compiled bugs/scripting issues but my personal experience has been nearly flawless. although who's to say as it has been 10 years since vanilla retail was fresh in our memories. i'm up to level 19 on horde side, playing my beloved UD mage.
is there a horde-side team liquid guild?? i'd love some chill leveling companions and later dungeon party members!

Yeah just read the thread, Seen the guy spamming in durotar about <Liquid> being hardcore end-game raiding guild lol. (Sorry i just find it an obnoxious recruitment message when youre recruiting randoms enmasse on a 3 day old server with no real commitment to what youre saying.)
|
The GM is anesthetic. Pretty sure he's a frequent TL poster. His name sounds very familiar. But there's nothing hardcore about Liquid yet lol
|
Nos is pretty crowded, leveling areas are filled with dozens of players spawncamping quest mobs etc. so be prepared to wait. A LOT. or just find a quieter spot and grind mobs instead of quests during peak hours. I suppose it'll get better over time when players are more spread around the world.
3 evenings of playing and lvl 16 so far. Fucking WoW addiction is strong, I wonder when it will stop. :p

Hmmm, I was a BC expansion player. I think it's time to Vanilla this baby up. Is the server pretty stable and hacker free?
