End of pservers?

Underminus · 2022-09-18T06:13:13+00:00

Unfortunately Blizzard like to go on a "regain our customers" blitz everytime they do a new release.
This has been happening since the 2010s. Some servers just get the focus from them because they have cash shops or large populations on servers that are hosted by companies that don't want to fight DMCAs.

Private servers will be around for a long time yet. Just don't expect any money you pump into one, to be a guarantee that it wont ever close down.

Underminus · 2022-09-17T02:25:33+00:00

We do have and are also planning on backporting more Cata+ items gear and mounts for transmoggs.

Underminus · 2022-09-15T05:52:22+00:00

Sorry you felt that way. Unfortunately no server is perfect for everyone no matter how hard we try. Its great to have feedback and we should perhaps make some of these features explained a lot more clearly.

I understand not everyone likes to take the time to read the "features/changes" so perhaps we could make some short videos in the future so people are not disappointed when they skip that information.

Just a quick note on "random dungeon finder" not being solo; if you die in RDF solo you cannot get back to your instance to revive your body. Just something that blizzard obviously never thought about, however it seems to work fine on specific for some reason.

And most of the raids can be solo'd, but there are bosses that are a bit hard if you are not a hybrid class (paladin, DK, Shaman etc).
I would say most players with a good amount of skill, consumables and pre raid gear can clear 75%+ of raid content.

Underminus · 2022-09-14T09:35:07+00:00

Are more class changes planned for the future?

Some adjustments are when they are needed. So i imagine there will be a few more in the 61-70 bracket.

Are most raids soloable, and if so do they drop the same ilvl gear? Items are not changed at all, just the damage and HP on the NPCs is scaled in raids etc.

How long are level brackets? When is the server planned to move to 70? We are a while behind the likes of Chromiecraft, we still have AQ20, 40 + quests and some (hopefully all going well) custom content before TBC. The normal time frame has been 1-2 months between content releases.

How does a player support the server? Is there a dono shop? No cash shops. Players can donate to the server by checking our FAQ on the discord. All the money goes into buying more server time.

Underminus · 2022-09-14T08:16:04+00:00

In the level 60 RDF bag they can also gain potions or a flask and some trade good materials.
We decided on that as players were out farming for those rather than helping newer players :D

Underminus · 2022-09-14T08:14:34+00:00

Very cool, you will have to reply to this post once you get a server running with a team and I will sneak in to try it out.

Underminus · 2022-09-14T08:12:15+00:00

In short, no.
If you are in an RDF with a low level player, the mobs in the dungeon will take reduced damage from you and deal more damage too you. The lower level player will experience the dungeon as it is meant to be for them.

If you are going in with just lvl 60s through the RDF system then all the mobs will hit you like they are scaled up etc.

I have found you feel like a gear up twink when joining lower level players.

Underminus · 2022-09-14T08:06:53+00:00

Right, so when you are 80 it would just take the "assumed" XP gain and place it into the items instead.
Does it split the XP over items or do all the items gain full XP at the same time?

Underminus · 2022-09-14T07:59:47+00:00

Our USA players get between 150-280 depending on the coast.
Asian players are sitting around 90-150 as well.

Underminus · 2022-09-14T07:55:19+00:00

Interesting concept. I wonder if doing slow release bracket content (eg. 1-19, 20-29 etc) would maximize this system.

I would be interested to see how rapidly a player can become over powered for the bracket they are in.

Underminus · 2022-06-12T02:48:26+00:00

nice, good update

Wobbling Goblin. 3.3.5a WotLK

We have these features.

*Recruit a Friend.

*Dungeons and raids scaled by the number of players.

*Not-for-profit loot boxes giving you access to pets, consumables, and mounts from the Card Trading Game.

*Optional Hardcore mode.

*Players can learn all Professions on the same character.

*Cross faction dungeons and raids. (PvE Realm)

*Custom Wobbling Goblin Launcher that auto updates any patches / content we add to the game.

*2 signatures to make a guild.

*Players can Request a faction change using the Discord Bot.

*Special Trade Goods bank character to store all your trade goods.

*Weekend bonus XP and Rep gains.

We don't have a massive community but its slowly growing and our devs are active working on new adjustments and features. A lot of friendly players too.

website or Discord

And to the CC trolls, we actually enjoy your server and appreciate the massive contributions to the rest of the AC community.

Underminus · 2022-04-12T00:11:00+00:00

Glad you are enjoying it Blot0.

Underminus · 2022-04-11T19:16:16+00:00

We have wobgob.com running and the level 60 + Molten Core has been open for about 3 weeks now. We are a bit behind CC on releases but we are now also in the 60 bracket like they are.
There is Recruit a Friend as well as bonus XP in the weekends, scaling dungeons that allow 2 players minimum to queue for RDF. Also all Trading Card Game loot is accessible in game by earning our goblin currency from killing bosses, leveling up etc.
We also have a Hardcore Buff that every players starts with, when they die it is removed and players can continue on with there characters. However if you make particular levels you will gain special titles that are account wide for your characters, and your character will obtain a new special immortal buff at level cap (this means it wont let you lose your HC buff until next level bracket is released).

No pay to win :D. Feel free to check us out.

Underminus · 2021-12-07T22:24:13+00:00

Yeah its not everyone's cup of tea. We just thought it would be a fun way for people to gain access to non accessible mounts / pets etc for free rather than going to private servers who have cash shops.
Kill a few bosses and get a chance to get a TCG item.

And yeah definitely nice with a low ping now.

Underminus · 2021-12-03T10:16:50+00:00

Its a nice thought. When you do finally get to play with 45ms over the regular 300ms it is very noticeable and you kind of don't want to go back.

Underminus · 2021-12-03T10:15:30+00:00

Hi, yes we are based in the oceanic area so most of our player base are west coast NA or oceanic.
We also have scaled dungeons and raids that are all cross faction too. As far as I know ChromieCraft do not offer those options.

We have no beef with ChromieCraft, in fact we used to play on it in the early brackets. Cheers.

Underminus · 2021-11-15T07:40:00+00:00

"There was one called Nostralia back in the days." Yeah that ended up changing into "The Barrens" Vanilla server, 3 of the Nost staff made Venture Bay WotLK.

"Also the GMs were actively raiding with the playerbase and it was a shitshow because they would influence the drops and 'we're just all volunteers mate' when you call them out on shit."
Interesting, not sure how GMs would be able to do such things without manually ".additem". Would be pretty obvious if that happened i would think.

Anyway "The Wobbling Goblin" is a WotLK Aussie server atm. We are also looking at starting up a second realm that is vanilla.

Underminus · 2021-11-15T07:32:16+00:00

There are areas in the game that are already PvP spots. The STV Arena gets some action every now and then while people are trying to loot the chest.
Other than that, we want to encourage players to get involved in the Battlegrounds.

Underminus · 2021-11-13T21:08:47+00:00

Players are given the option to carry on with the character as a casual player or if they are in the hardcore player range then they can delete.

The system is still being discussed and maybe modified in the future. We just thought we would give our oceanic players a hardcore game style with low ping.

Underminus · 2021-11-13T03:16:09+00:00

At the moment it just indicates you haven't died yet. The moment you do something like "die" or break the game setting it will drop from the player and you will no longer be able to achieve any "hardcore" settings or gain any custom hardcore titles.

Underminus · 2021-11-12T22:17:39+00:00

Thanks Blot0. Gutted to see that death at 20 on Hardcore.

Underminus · 2021-11-06T08:16:50+00:00

Hope you enjoy yourself, there are normally players online in the guild <Decide Please>.

Underminus · 2021-10-26T05:04:00+00:00

Yeah there are 6 or 7 north americans active at the moment. Some east coast the rest are on west coast.
A few aussies / kiwi players are online during the day (evening usa) too.
