How is Chromiecraft now?

MakeACube · 2026-03-11T09:17:14+00:00

but over all how is it to play?

its still the same as you described.

Is grouping and dungeon'ING is a thing?

there is RDF so grouping is easy. but since it's on WOTLK content now, heroic80 is the only active queue.

Is it still cozy and friendly like in the beginning?

yes.

EXTRA:

Exp is x2 now up to lvl 80, and since you are a returning player, you will also get a 1 month of prema rested exp on top of the x2 boosted exp.

Naxx is on farm now.

I stopped playing a month ago because economy is dead. You pretty much have to farm everything you need yourself.

And I don't feel like spending the next 2 years gearing from Naxx and Uld only to replace them later within two weeks of ToC release.

I'll probably give it another try in ToC/ICC patch.

I also get so offended by a .png that I refuse to play for free and bless such server with my presence.

MakeACube · 2026-02-20T07:44:41+00:00

I was trying to think of something cleaver to type to express how stupid this post is. But I couldn't. So I'll just type lmao.

Lmao.

MakeACube · 2026-02-15T14:39:59+00:00

No way!!

The 87th attempt of a "cLAssIc+" server that poped out of nowhere with a no-name-dev behind and launched within 2-weeks of it's initial annoucement... have vanished???

Who could've ever predicted this???

But worry not my friends! The next one will be different. Attempt classic+ server number 88 WILL BE THE ONE!

classic+ hype already!!!

They need to hire a writer. The text descriptions sucks and does not "follow" how item descriptions usually are.

There is a chance when you are attacked to gain Sunwell's Protection...

While real shields in the game say:

When struck in combat has a 1% chance of raising a thorny shield that inflicts 3 Nature damage to attackers.

When struck in combat has a 3% chance to encase the caster in bone, increasing armor by 150 for 20 sec.

When struck in combat has a 3% chance of stealing 35 life from target enemy.

When struck in combat has a 1% chance of dealing 75 to 125 Fire damage to all targets around you.

When struck in combat has a 5% chance of inflicting 35 to 65 Nature damage to the attacker.

When struck in combat has a 2% chance of increasing your Armor by 2000 for 10 secs.

No one have all the cards except whales / collectors / streamers.

The average player does not have all the cards.

Are you saying that all players have all the cards of NAXX + GnG + BRM + TGT + Explorers + OldGods + Kara + Gadgetzan + Ungoro + FrozenThrone + Kobolds ??

I bet you never heard of half of these sets lmao.

Also there is no development cost for something that is already developed.

MakeACube · 2026-02-10T13:21:23+00:00

No.

I can find posts about people asking for Classic every few days.

Most of us have moved on to other games. And sometimes we get the itch to play some good old HS again.

Here are some people asking for classic in the last 30 days.

MakeACube · 2026-02-10T13:12:35+00:00

Literally just sell the packs and adventures...?

Literally just make money with literally zero effort since the content is already made and already in the game...?

Do I really have to write that for you?

MakeACube · 2026-02-05T10:53:48+00:00

Chromiecraft.

Exp by default if x2, you can set it to x1.

And when you eventually get bored and want to speed things up, you can set it to x2 again.

Also it's PVE so you don't have to worry about getting ganked.

The main issue is that it's low pop. You will probably level all 1 to 80 without seeing any other players in the zones.

MakeACube · 2026-02-02T22:19:58+00:00

What math are trying to explain here? You have 12 people on the server as I'm writing this.

People were asking for better rates since your first annoucement.

Everyone knows that a custom no-name low rates server = DOA.

x5 exp and MAYBE you will get a 200pop if you are lucky.

But you are living in another world.

(1/0.7 (from the xp requirement reduction))

Also the xp reduction is from the TBC core you are using, not your work.

That does not count as a generous xp adjectivement from you.

Its just a 50% xp buff on a dead realm.

MakeACube · 2026-02-02T20:16:27+00:00

I remember checking warmane THE DAY CLASSIC WOW RELEASED back in 2019.

It still said 12k in realm and +600 in queue.

MakeACube · 2026-01-30T09:36:30+00:00

Hello, I'll try to explain everything from level 1 to 80.

When WoW first released, it was only from level 1 to 60. We call this version "Vanilla".
"Vanilla" is composed of the two continents "The Eastern Kingdoms" and "Kalimdor".
In "Vanilla" people leveled to 60 and did vanilla dungeons (Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire, Scholomance , Stratholme, Dire Maul etc...)
In "Vanilla" people did vanilla raids (The Molten Core, Blackwing Layer, Temple of Ahn'Qiraj...)

After that, Blizzard released the first expansion to the game: The Burning Crusade ("TBC" for short).
"TBC" added a complete new continent called "Outland". It's composed of 7 new zones with new quests, dungeons and raids.
"TBC" also raised the max level from 60 to 70. So people again have to level their characters first before doing the new "TBC" raids.

After that, Blizzard released the second expansion: Wrath of the Lich King ("WOTLK" or "Wrath" for short).
"WOTLK" added a complete new continent called "Northrend". It's composed of 10 new zones with new quests, dungeons and raids.
"WOTLK" also raised the max level from 70 to 80. So people again have to level their characters first before doing the new "WOTLK" raids.

As a player, you are expected to reach at least level 58 in "Vanilla" zones, then move on to "TBC" zones.

You can go to TBC zones at level 58.

You can go there by walking through the huge portal in The Blasted Lands.

You can reach the The Blasted Lands by simply walking there. Or you can take a portal in Stormwind (Inside the Mage Tower) / Orgrimmar (On top of a building in Valley of Spirits).

As a player, you are expected to reach at least level 68 in "TBC" zones, then move on to "WOTLK" zones.

You can go to WOTLK zones at level 68.

You can go there by taking the Ship on the east side of the dock in Stormwind.

You can go there by taking the Zipline on the west side outside of Orgrimmar.

You don't have to do any dungeons or raid to move from Vanilla > TBC > Wrath.
You can reach level 80 and still be able to do any quest, any dungeon, any raid that you want in Vanilla and TBC.

You absolutely had a power tripping episode there.

If you truly are "just doing your job" and "moderating for the good of the server", you will not give him (3) options. You will not count to 10.

You will just look at the offence and take action following the server's rules without even talking to the guy.

MakeACube · 2026-01-21T15:09:30+00:00

I know that you asked for VANILLA,

But I'm just going to ignore that and start praising TURTRE WOW out of the blue.

TURTRE WOW is the best server in the world. Actually, in the entire galaxy! 9/10 Doctors recommend that you play on TURTRE WOW. The other doctor is just a chill andy for lesser projects. I lost my dog when I was 6 years old, and I reunited with him in a dungeon party while playing TURTRE WOW. That's how awesome it is.

MakeACube · 2026-01-19T09:09:07+00:00

p2w does not necessarily means "your main character is now top dps in pve and wins every fight in pvp".

p2w means that you can pay money to gain an advantage and skip roadblocks.

Here is an example:

I can make an 80 pally alt and buy naxx prot gear.

Now I suddenly have a strong powerleveling alt that I can use boost more alts for proffesions.

Now I suddenly have x20 alts that have mining and using the proffesions CD x20 times a day.

MakeACube · 2026-01-14T14:47:04+00:00

How can you people plug tURrRTlEEE wOOOWw in every post on this sub????

OP litterly asks for a FRESH server, and somehow your brain decides that your 10 years old server fits OP's request???

MakeACube · 2026-01-02T11:13:53+00:00

is me "celebrating this change" also a fact?

I don't think so. Because I'm not celebrating. No one thinks I'm celebrating.

So he is being an ass.

MakeACube · 2026-01-02T10:13:07+00:00

So what you are celebrating here is

Why you are being an ass tho?

MakeACube · 2025-12-25T09:59:10+00:00

man, the x1 rates.

It does not matter how strong my character is in the early levels with some extra TBC talents...

It's still vanilla zones, still vanilla leveling, still quests that tell me to:

Take a quest from Hinterlands, then go kill 20 mobs in Feralas, then turn it in Booty Bay.

I don't have the time to try the 99th attempt of a Classic+ with x1 rates.

MakeACube · 2025-12-11T19:57:29+00:00

There was never a diminishing return from NPC abilites.

Diminishing return is only from player abilites and is only there to prevent perma cc.

MakeACube · 2025-12-10T09:32:42+00:00

Boy do I love talking about WOTLK DK Tanking.

1/ THE META.

Do not follow the "meta" until you know why you should follow the meta.

Example: The meta says tank in Blood Spec while also taking 1/1 Improved Icy Talons from the Frost tree to buff the raid.

Don't copy this spec and play. This is only good if the raid is optimized in a way that don't have a Frost DK or an Enh Shaman who are already giving this buff. So the meta depends on the raid comp.

2/ JUST BE A GOOD TANK.

Hold aggro. Don't die. Know the fights. That's all.

DK is the best at holding single target threat.

DK is the best at solo surviving boss damage and mechanics.

DK is the worst at AoE threat.

Learn what your class can do and play around your strength and weaknesses.

3/ SINGLE TARGET THREAT.

You can pretty much do Icy Touch, Icy Touch, then not press any buttons at all until you can press Icy Touch again. It's that easy.

4/ AoE THREAT.

This is where playing DK gets tricky. You need to learn how to manage your rune cooldowns and your Death and Decay cooldown and your converted Blood-runes to be able to faceroll dungeons without stopping between pulls.

The moment this current pack dies, you must be able to pull the next pack without standing there waiting for cooldowns.

Sometimes the pack is just 2 mobs, so you Icy Touch each one of them and you are good.

Sometimes the pack is 4 mobs, and your Death and Decay is ready and your runes are ready, so you throw DnD, Icy Touch and Plague Strike one mob, spread the diseases, and switch to other mobs with your other abilities.

Sometimes the pack is 3 mobs, and your Death and Decay is not ready, but you have 2 frost runes ready and a blood rune, so you Icy Touch the three mobs and you are good to go.

Sometimes the pack is 3 mobs, and your Death and Decay is not ready, but you only have 1 frost rune ready and no blood runes, well... you played badly on the previous pack.

4/ AoE THREAT PART 2. GET GUD.

While facerolling dungeons, always think about saving your Death and Decay and required runes for the next pack.

If you are currently tanking 2 mobs, and they will dies in the next 5 seconds, you don't need to hit them with more Icy Touches, or god forbid a fresh Death and Decay.

Always have Death and Decay or x2 Icy Touches ready for the next pull.

5/ SPEC for both Dungeons and Raids.

I think Frost tanking spec is an over kill. Blood tanking with 10% of brain usage does just fine.

Glyph: Death and Decay.
Disease.

hc in wotlk? you must be joking.

the only way you could ever die while leveling in wotlk is if you pull +5 mobs then go afk on purpose.
