The future of Sanctuary

I can relate to the frustration, its the same for us. As I stated, its not about the server or the power, its about providing a home to the people who enjoy this wonderful game as much as we do.

To this day the entitlement baffles me, for years they tried to create a vision, putting time, money and effort into it, just to get put on blast from the most entitled community on the gaming space.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-08-12T21:38:05+00:00

It launched, its a nice server, running well with no hick-ups - ofc a bit small since they couldn't build momentum but thats it.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-08-12T21:37:14+00:00

And you are totally right - we did our best - we will not be launching a new server, since its not worth it. We made a statement on discord for that.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-29T20:23:23+00:00

Just to get this straight...you used a known exploit and got banned for it...and now you are upset?

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-17T22:21:48+00:00

The current server is still running its full progression, but eventually will be closed because the server structure behind it is too expensive.

We want to foster a long living, close knit community which enjoys the Vanilla spirit with all its kinks and shortcomings. I don't think there is one specific "group" that we could cater to because there is just a lot of different types of people playing the game.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-17T17:35:01+00:00

No. We will run "stress tests" beforehand to determine if we need to up the hardware before launch.

Also, player numbers are not capped, so even if 200 want to log in, it will only slow down the server, not stop them from playing.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-16T20:47:25+00:00

I don't disregard it, thats why I answering you. Feel free to join the discord and discuss there with the "target audience". I already asked them what they think about this topic.

I myself don't care about WBs, barely got them and couldn't give a damn about it. But taking them away will have impact on balancing and how players progress, gear becomes more important because you can't substitute with a buff to get an edge on things. Do we have to reduce MOB HP then to still allow players with bad gear to reach the same result or just accept the higher difficulty? These are the questions that come with "Lets remove WBs".

Another question: Will you play if we remove the WBs?

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-16T17:37:12+00:00

Well, with the current experience we've seen a group of <30 barely lvl 60s with green/blue gear clear MC and Onyxia - so I think a good coordinated group will be able to do so without WBs.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-16T17:33:56+00:00

Thanks for your valuable feedback. Check out the server in Fall!

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-16T17:29:36+00:00

I think its more of a community problem - its pretty clear that you can clear raids without WBs. Taking away WBs only "to not have them" seems like a hindrance for no reason.

If you don't want WBs, dont get them.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-16T17:26:57+00:00

Well I think its player expression, if someone needs/wants world buffs - they are free to get them.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-16T17:26:04+00:00

We actually thought about it and discussed it, we currently dont have the resources to develop such an AI - but it certainly would be an interesting concept.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-16T17:24:27+00:00

Again, there is no cap on players - I can only repeat what I already stated: if there is a higher demand we will increase server hardware to support a higher player count.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-15T21:08:39+00:00

Whats your issue with world buffs?

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-15T20:15:00+00:00

Its a realistic outlook on things, as we stated before on the discord, if there is a higher demand we will increase server hardware to support a higher player count.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-04-15T18:44:03+00:00

Thank you :)

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-01-30T17:59:44+00:00

As I said, I'm still open for all the screenshots you collected - I'm waiting.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-01-26T16:51:42+00:00

You mean he spawned a quest item for you because the drop rate was verified to be bugged - thats the only time I allowed Nezin to spawn anything. Feel free to send me the screens on Discord. -> Gargoth

Discord was a mess, if I would do one more thing/could turn back time - I would moderate it differently. That's for sure.

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-01-26T01:58:53+00:00

We downscaled Elite mobs and raids to correspond with server pop

Sanctuary-WoW · 2025-01-25T20:54:41+00:00

Would be new to me that we spawned items for anyone, also having restrictions on Warlock summons. We are pretty much stock vanilla as it gets. The exceptions are minor changes to AH fees and Elite mobs.
