 Rebirth – Vanilla Warcraft Server 1.12.1 Information The Rebirth server is dedicated to the genuine vanilla World of Warcraft experience. Freakyuno runs the server and has shown unwavering dedication through some major problems. Fixes for anything game-breaking are implemented quickly. Currently MC and ZG are the two available raids at 60. Both raids are scripted fairly well and completely playable. Freaky has stated in the past that he is intent upon following the script by releasing BWL, AQ, and finally Naxx. There is no official Rebirth timeline, so how long this will take is at freaky's discretion as he has time or help. Experience is set at 1x meaning that it is the same leveling rate as the original 1-60 vanilla Warcraft. It is a lot of work, but if you have never played vanilla, it's a great chance to try it out. It was well done and an all-around great game. History Freaky started the server around fall of 2011. (Greggy has it at August of 2011.) It got off to a strong start, but has had some setbacks since then. Some players left because of some content additions and fixes taking too long. There were also problems with DDoS attacks throughout the later half of 2012. Most recently freaky made server changes to mitigate the attacks, designed a new website, and is in the process of designing a completely new forum layout. The server has been growing fairly regularly since a DDoS attack throughout December (2012). The attacks had been happening through the fall of 2012 to most of the vanilla Warcraft servers. The last one knocked the server offline for about three weeks. It took exceptionally long because freaky migrated the server to new hardware that makes it less vulnerable to a DDoS attack. Since those changes the server has been up almost continuously. According to freaky, they were continuing to be attacked, but it was fully mitigated by the changes he implemented.

New PVP Standings Template - This is an example of the page containing PVP standings on Rebirth. It is not complete at the moment, but it is updated to current standings. WoW Databases

Addons 
Server Status Program – The Server Website now has this on the right side of the page assuming it's working. This was extremely useful during the DDoS, and thank you AotC for making it. AotC posted:Rebirth Status V2 Guilds At this time there is one major guild on each major faction. They accept players at all levels as far as I know. Hate is the main guild on the Horde side, while Progress Denied is the main guild on the Alliance side. From personal experience Hate is helpful guild, and if you need any assistance feel free to ask. There are a few other guilds on either side if you would like to join a smaller guild. There is a better explanation on the facebook group page as well. Global Channel There is a cross-faction channel called “global” that can be joined by typing “/join global”. Join at your own risk, although it can be hilarious when Humble gets on and complains about Alliance pvpers. Auction Houses All of the auction houses are linked. So what this means is that the main city auction houses for all faction locations are linked as well as the goblin action houses in Booty Bay and Gadgetzan. It's one of the few changes to deal with smaller population. Class Information – thanks to Greggy for this. Greggy posted:Archived 1.12 SA Class Threads: A lot of the archived class threads have links to talent builds that can't be seen because of changes to the talent calculators, but thanks to awesome goons we have a tool to help with that.

I've tried using a couple of browsers but it seems that therebirth.net is broken beyond the front page - Forums, Server Rules, How to Connect and Login links up top all lead to what look like blank frames. I managed to make an account (called sligapls) but the 1.12.1 client that I have isn't connecting. Should realmlist.wtf be in the game's base directory or in some subdir somewhere?

I should have mentioned that the webpage isn't complete. Some of the links are dead, but should be fixed once things get finished. The realmlist.wtf file is in the base directory, but it may just be called realmlist. wtf is the file type. Also, if you have the 1.12.1 client from feenix, then it won't work because feenix made some changes so it wouldn't work. The top pinned post in the facebook group has more information about the feenix client or where to get other clients.

As far as I know some people thought it would be a good idea to trade HKs. They got put on warnings, etc. Freaky made a post explaining how the handle such problems. (He's Bryan Sampica.) And since all of the GM/dev/mods is done on a volunteer basis, I give them a bit of leeway. Edit: Actually, it looks like someone took a level 16 char and stole Rank 1 from alliance by feeding the char HKs or something. I sort of think it's hilarious, but I can see why alliance are pretty mad about it. downout fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Feb 10, 2013 |

I have a lvl 41 Hunter named Boogboog horde side that I may jump back on. I have an alliance account too but don't remember the log in stuff. I'll have to experiment. Was a great server.

With the DDoS attacks mitigated the server population has been steadily growing. And despite the drama, it's a very fun community. Something about WoW pvp (probably most games' pvp) brings out the crazy. Today Hate fielded a 40 man raid for MC. We were full at the start of the raid and were down only 2-3 people after three hours.

Things are rolling along well on the horde side again. We did another full clear of Molten Core in pretty good time, and although some of us are getting a bit sloppy/cocky on the trash, it was a fun time as usual. I just need a piece or two from Onxyia and I will be close to out-gearing Apollo!

f1av0r posted:What is the current population averages throughout the day? I can't say for sure, but not as high as it's peak last year. It has been steadily climbing with people returning and new people joining, especially as the server already had a good name for the quality of scripting and has been very reliable since the upgrades/changes. Getting groups for instances while leveling isn't always the easiest, but often you might be able to find a higher level to help out a group of three or four. I personally skipped a lot of instances because the xp is horrible and the itemization often leaves a lot to be desired. Groups at 60 are easy to find horde-side, not sure about alliance.

Maybe someone can help find this link. In the old thread someone made a script to convert old wowhead.com talent build links into a working talent calculator. I think it was done in Python. If anyone remembers that or knows where to find it, could you please post a link?

This is curtsey of Mewse in the Emerald Dream thread: http://www.doomers.org/vanilla_talents/ He wrote both the original script and set up the website that now does everything for you. Just be warned that some talent builds don't seem to work. I know I had trouble with Shaman builds, which I don't think work at all. And some builds just display with too many or too few talents. Edit: Oh it seems someone already responded to you. Oh well, now I have the link for the lazy person. Gripen5 fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Feb 27, 2013 |

I've been playing the hell out of this lately, but was still surprised when I got into a Deadmines group with relative ease. Even more surprised when two of the members were brand new to the game, "Oh, that must be the final boss, he has a voice!" "Whoaaaa, that's a HUGE ship." Fun, and we managed to take VanCleef's head with only a few deaths along the way.

The population has been growing steadily in the past few months. It seems to be an average of about 40-50 people on during most days, as well as a strong Euro population. We are starting to see large jumps during the weekends as well. Horde and Alliance have regularly been scheduling MC/ONY/ZG raids each week. Most recently freaky posted this on the Rebirth website.freaky posted:Hey Rebirthers! In the past things have come up for freaky (and what devs he might have) and slowed fixes, content additions, etc, so this may take a bit longer. It's still great to see a target date! Edit: Last night was a great example. There were ~15 horde playing between the levels 20-35, so groups are available for dungeons.

So I didn't get to play this weekend, but apparently the server population hit a new high this weekend. The population has been steadily climbing for months now. The Horde and Alliance are easily packing their 40 man raids with people with extra backups ready to go. If anyone is thinking about leveling, this might be a great time to give it a shot. Be advised, as expected the weekends are the highest population times. However, the population during the week for the last few weeks has been very steady with plenty of levelers. I wanted to mention that the Rebirth forums currently work, but they are slow. Freaky made a post about this a week ago and is aware of some issues. He is looking into it but got hit with a bout of pneumonia. Hopefully he is feeling better now.

How does this server compare to Emerald Dream bug wise? I'm thirsting for a vanilla WoW experience, but after trying that server, decided to hold that urge off until something a little less buggy came along, or at least something where the npcs dont constantly shoot up into the air and fall back with every step they take. Also, what are they up to raid content wise?

Whatever the reason, it is annoying as hell. There are spots in the game world where lag is horrible compared to others, places which cause me to crash to desktop, occurrences of my hole computer locking up for a couple minutes. (this happened when engaged in world PvP of all things) Mobs are never precisely where they are shown on screen, and every time I waltz into melee distance I have to take a couple steps backward due to "facing the wrong way". A few people have claimed that there are very few "loose ends" to be fixed on ED. It simply is not true. Neither Rebirth nor ED seem to be able to fix the mac boat/zep bug, if either actually give two fucks about their mac players. ED has yet to even acknowledge the issue exists.

Rebirth fixed the mac zeppelin bug when I last played. Unless they reverted it somehow, which would be pretty awful. It was a weird fix: you kind of fell through the zeppelin, and right before you hit the ground/water it'd teleport you back up on top of it, but I never got actually dropped off. Although if it did get reverted, the only one that I know to watch out for is the Ratchet/Booty Bay boat. The zeppelins are safe as long as you don't go AFK on the flight path, but the boat to Booty Bay drops you way further out.
