Yea the only bugged instance I can recall off hand is ZF, and apparently it's been fixed since I was there. I ran Deadmines, Stocks, Gnomer, BFD, RFK, and ST basically without issue. The bugs, like Typical said, are usually in your favor. For example, in ST the spawn of hakkar or whatever is just sitting there, there is no torches event to summon him.

ZF has not been fixed -- we tried running it today and the stairs event was still impossible, and we had to exploit geometry to get in to fight the troll chiefs.

Anyone wanting to start who likes instances, like I do, here is my experience. Deadmines is broken at Mr. Smite, people say he isn't supposed to spawn 2 mobs and bring 2. Blackfathom Depths has a problem with the final door, but I hear a mage can blink through and open it. Finally, I ran Gnomeregan and the dark iron agent's mines move around like roombas, and the final boss spawns bombs at a possibly accelerated rate.

Isn't he? With Mr. Smite I've always had the group hang back, one person pulls him (spawning the 2 at the bottom) and then dies intentionally. When the group re-engage the boss the two invisible adds at the bottom just aren't there. Not sure if this was a retail Vanilla trick but I definitely used it on Emerald Dream.

I don't think he pulled the two from the boat in retail just the shadows. Also Vancleef himself is broken as he spawns unlimited addons.

Found out that just like on Rebirth, the boats dump you into deep water after transition (loving mac bug IIRC). Something that no vanilla server admins feel warrants captain placeholder apparently.

Yeah, it's a mac thing only. As I remember from rebirth, the dangerous one is the boat between Ratchet and Booty Bay, which drops you out too far to swim back to shore without dying. You can do the Wetlands to night elf country safely, though, and I haven't tried Wetlands-Marsh at all yet.

If anyone has a level 60 they dont want Id consider moving from Warsong to hang with you guys (Im a filthy Euro though so no idea if it would even be useful). Naxx raiding is boring when there is no progression so the urge to quit is high. This will be more challengingfun possibly.

I will never level a vanilla character again though.

I use ISBoxer with some modifications. I can post the text from my macros and upload my ISBoxer config if you want. Do not use the WoW add-on provided by ISBoxer as it in no way is intended to work with 1.12.1 WoW.

e1: Here's a crappy MSPaint image of my in-game setup:


e2: Here is my ISBoxer config in a handy dandy XML file:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?2addjdkp65cmm5k

In a nutshell 0 - 9 Q E R are set to replicate so you can just smack whatever abilities you want on those and it will clone it across all characters and automatically assist/follow the client that is currently active's character. I would suggest adding shift + 0 - 9 Q E R if you get any higher than like level 30 with your multiboxing.

On a more serious note, we're too young of a guild to have 60's sitting around. I think everyone who has hit 60 (up to 22 according to the guild site's graphs!) is still actively playing. Maybe if you're still interested in a few months you'll be able to grab someone's abandoned shared level 60. Of course in that amount of time you could already have progressed through the mind-numbing process of vanilla leveling and have your own 60!

Well regular WoW isn't doing it for me, so I'm up for giving this a try just to see if the vanilla grind was as painful as the bitter vets make it out to be. Any particular class you need, or can I roll a human mage?

I'm downloading the client atm, and I'll probably do the install and admin tomorrow when I get back from work. This may seem like a daft question, but how different does this look compared to retail? The last vanilla server I played on seemed to suffer from wonky pathing (high elves in Quel'Danil walking thigh deep in the lodge for example)

Yeah to be honest it was a big ask, the server is new and who wants to give up a character this early. Ill be keeping tabs on you guys, but as I say the levelling is painful, I did it enough times on retail and have now been spoiled on 12x levelling on Warsong (level 60 in like 21-24 hours? Yes please). I wont level for months to do content I have done many times before, the levelling and story is played out for me and is no fun, but for some reason raiding doesnt get old as fast.

All the best though and I hope you guys make a good go of it. I think Feenix will be around for some time.

True that. That said, if we could get a consistant timeslot where we could have groups chain-instance-running, it would go a bit quicker. I am running my little gnome legs off to catch up with a leveling group. I have yet to party with a guildy, but my friends list is growing with non-goons. leveling solo is a big suck.

I did a little updating of the bank inventory table tonight. People had been asking for drop-down filters since I first made this site for the old Rebirth alliance guild. I have to admit it does make finding things quite a bit better. Next on the to-do list for the site is to get away from using posts to track which requests have been filled. It gets kind of tedious to update all the request posts, especially when people put in several one-line requests at once. So for everyone who helps fill requests (Cmon other officers you know you want to join the fun!) you can look forward to an easier way of checking off requests in the near future.

Check out my enormous testicles in my TFLC log!

The leveling in Vanilla is what I enjoyed most. The long and pointless running around for very little XP just seemed like a very nice distraction from real life. End game? Never really done that.

edit: Wait, do I understand correctly there already is AV? That would be my main reason to get to 60 asap!

I'll take the green wizard if its still going (Lecks in game). Just rolled a mage alt so this'll save me some 2 weeks. Loving this server so far, everyone seems really fuckin' cool.

I've also made an enemy on alliance side, a warrior called Immovable. All because I (a paladin) rolled on a 2handed axe and won it over him.

The changelog has some interesting buffs and changes. It is ridiculously long but halfway through I haven't seen anything about what iteration of AV it is based on. No mention of minefields, Korrak or shredders.

Keetron posted:

Will be in the future at some point. Single-server AV (BGs in general) were great because you got to know the enemy, and folks couldn't randomly AFK their way to free honor.

I always felt the same way. To me, 1-59 is one game, and level 60 is a different game. I'm never in a huge rush to level up because the one thing I enjoyed most about classic wow was the 20s-50s random world pvp.

Just tell me I'm exotic.
Has anyone else had to deal with an odd lag? It seems like a few times a minute whatever animation or cast or action I do continues going on for a moment, and then the game speeds up to catch up with what happened. This seems to only happen on this private server, and even with a 156ms I shouldn't be having this problem, and don't have this problem on any other game / server. I'm east coast if that helps. I've also notice by just having chrome open it can skyrocket my ping to 600's.
