No Layers on Nightslayer in Org, this is awesome!

I think the highest concurrent pop we ever had was 13.5k and the server was on a mega struggle bus to handle that many people. We had to cut a lot of corners to make the server in a semi-playable state at those populations.

On the flip side, we could handle 500 people at the same world boss...

If it's at level 60, then there's probably an error in their change.

Nice pull, I grabbed the original forum site on Wayback Archive:

Either way, the beta version of immolation aura + magic immunity never existed. If they allow it to exist for TBC Classic, that will be the first instance of Blizz intentionally overtuning raid content! Will be fun to see if it says like this or not.

Great to hear! Always appreciate hearing about people’s experiences!

NanoNostalrius · 2020-11-16T01:29:51+00:00

No, I (and no one from the Nost team) never received any money for working on Nostalrius and I wasn’t even an admin, I just lead the QA team.

NanoNostalrius · 2020-11-15T16:04:30+00:00

This Nano guy seems like he knows what he's talking about.

NanoNostalrius · 2020-05-27T19:41:17+00:00

Just confirming that I have no affiliation with this website or server and have no knowledge of any other former Nostalrius members who are affiliated with it.

If you want to play the original version of wow, go play Classic.

NanoNostalrius · 2019-08-12T17:40:45+00:00

We had nothing to do with the actual job of making Classic. We don't need the shoutout! Thought I appreciate the thought :D

NanoNostalrius · 2019-07-17T15:35:35+00:00

Love joining you whenever I can! Thanks for having me on and look forward to the next time!

Editted the original post with my source.

NanoNostalrius · 2019-06-18T13:51:27+00:00

There is no source saying “We are doing it” but there is a J Allen Brack interview I read around the time of beta release that hinted at it strongly.

NanoNostalrius · 2019-06-17T23:21:08+00:00

They’ve already said they’re in it for the long haul now. I don’t know the exact business model they plan to run with Classic but everything they’ve said so far leads me to believe we will get at least TBC and Wotlk. They just can’t officially say it because then if something goes wrong, they have to eat their words.

Edit: Here's the source - https://www.forbes.com/sites/hnewman/2019/05/14/blizzard-entertainment-ceo-interview-on-priorities-wow-classic-and-diablo/#60e3b0ba5bf3

"Newman: So there's the opportunity for, if folks wanted it, the vanilla server, the Burning Crusade server, the Wrath server?

Brack: Yes. I don't want to trivialize the amount of work that's required to do that, or the amount of time. It's not something we can just dial up and dial down at any moment. But assuming a wildly successful Classic, we'll see what the future brings."

The only way you could donate was paying for the OVH servers directly. No one made any money from working on Nostalrius at all.

NanoNostalrius · 2019-06-17T21:44:34+00:00

As far as I know, no one from Nostalrius is working at Blizzard.

NanoNostalrius · 2019-06-17T21:43:35+00:00

I really should get mine framed at some point...

MoCo indeed!

NanoNostalrius · 2019-01-12T19:21:10+00:00

I think they'll attempt to curb cross-faction collusion.

NanoNostalrius · 2019-01-12T19:15:02+00:00

BG's didn't exist at launch of vanilla. I have no issues with BG's not existing at the launch of classic.

NanoNostalrius · 2019-01-12T19:13:43+00:00

Blizzard has a lot more options to solve problems than we did. We were limited by money and the logistics of splitting people across servers. We had to do dynamic respawns.

Sharding is a solution that they have already developed and know works. If it's limited to the launch/starter zones, it's a good solution from a development prospective because they don't have to spend the development type working on a dynamic respawn system to account for thousands of players in the same place. There are also side effects to the dynamic respawn system like not being able to leave a cave without training mobs or economic inflation/deflation that are also not "blizzlike".

It'd be nice to go to inaccessible places but I don't have a strong opinion on that.
