What does that patch do specifically. I use it and still get random disconnects quite often. Should I re install from a new torrent. I've been using the same 1.12 installation since rebirth.

Also this is me in game. Although I am not Frost spec at the moment.




I drew this during the times I had rez sickness from blinking though the world and falling to my very very, vanilla'esque death. :yaycloud:

Dicking around as a Dwarf Warrior right now, but not sure whether I'm gonna stick with this or not. Apparently several of the leveling instances are broken? That was kinda my favorite part of vanilla WoW so if that's true it's kinda disappointing.

I haven't run into any bugged instances so far.. Although I am level 30. I've noticed that in most cases the dungeons are bugged in favor of the players. Examples. If you die in the entrance to deadmines or BFD, you can immediately ressurect at your own corpse and keep going fighting through the mazes that blizzard likes to put in front of all the lowbie dungeons.

So far the only known bugged instances (I have heard of) are ZF, but I see people spamming for it all day long so clearly it can't be that bad.

Are the mobs in the instances on this server normalized for the most part. I had a feeling the mobs in RFK were a little to easy at the end of the instance.

In 1.12.1 are hunters still able to slot aimed shots between regular shots with sufficiently slow weapons? Additionally, was that still the time that ridiculously slow weapons scaled absurdly well?


Hunters still operate on weaving shots in this patch, How ever I think attack power was somewhat normalized a few patches ago. But ideally you still want 3.8 speed weapons on warriors and such. Arcanite reaper is still viable.

This server is amusing. world pvp is alive and well. Although I don't care much for people making level 1 alts to message you after you killed them.

A level 22 hunter came to red ridge today to gank people while i was skinning things on my 33 Warrior.



I proceeded to kill him 5 more times before I got bored and hearthed back.

I was getting a bit frustrated with the number of times I've been attacked/ganked mid fight with a mob. Usually by horde 5 or greater levels above me. Today it was all wiped away as a horde priest and I put aside our differences and cleared out Thunder Axe Fortress so we could get poo poo done. A time for everything.

Some horde are cool like that. I've had my share of peaceful encounters for sure. I just cant ever fathom why some one would take the time to go really far out of their way to grief people repeatedly. I cant play like that. I just want to be 60.

I've never played anything that casts spells and this seems like a good place to try. Are there any priest/mage abilities I would need to avoid due to them just being broken?

Blink. Always blink. And by that I mean never blink. 30% chance of falling though the world.

So before I (possibly) get into this, how long would it take (approximately) to reach max level again? And how's the goon presence on this?

I'm currently 10 days /played and level 48. However I have not been grinding. just doing quests/instances/killin random things.

Alot of people are afraid to level to 60...

I'm here to say its honestly not that bad. Leveling is so much easier the second or third time around, when you plan things, and do stuff efficiently. I got my mount at 40, by farming ore as I leveled. I've been able to complete all of the instances with groups. except for SFK of course. And now I am 53. I've got 10 days played time but I hear you can do it in 7 if you just grind. Its honestly pretty fun and makes Gearing up at 60 that much more exciting. my only complaint is that there is no good PVP. You storta just get ganked while fighting two mobs. or if you try to engage some one they run away.


Unrelated: I found this handy Census.

Thinking of rolling a hunter just for the hell of it, but I'm more into the PvP aspect of the game even though I wouldn't mind raiding once in a while. Is PvP glitchy, or is it pretty okay?
Too bad that AV haven't been released yet as that was by far my favorite BG of vanilla.

pvp is fully functional. And you will get killed... many times....

Northworm sent me this screen shot after the raid. It is interesting to see a boss fight from the perspective of a child.
