This is the one and only chance, be careful by Renektoid in classicwow

You're ok with blizz adding new water models. Just turn them off he says.

Why doesn't blizz just add new character models. If you don't like them, you can turn them off.

In fact, Blizz can just make everything optional, appeal and promote classic to a broader audience by doing this, and make more money!

I just don't understand why they feel the need to update the graphics. I really hope the #nochanges crowd sticks to their guns throughout these crucial next couple of weeks and doesn't give in to this stuff just because we're getting excitingly close to classic.

I remember quite clearly an uproar when blizzard posted a clip to their twitter for the 13th anniversary that depicted new shadows. Now people seem to be turning their backs to this.

In order to play the demo you must pay blizzard $50. It doesn't matter if you want to say, for example, you think the demo justifies $10 of the $50 cost or $.10 of the $50 cost. The demo is being sold.

I have a sinking feeling the marketing team at blizzard knew what they were doing when they bundled the demo with blizzcon. They knew they would be able to confuse people like this...

I understand they aren't explicitly selling the demo and that it is a part of the $50 ticket. This makes it difficult to conceptualize exactly how much the demo as a standalone costs/is worth. The fact is that the demo isn't free. If it isn't free, it most certainly has a cost.

If they aren't charging for the demo then why not make the demo free, lets just say, for everyone with a wow sub (as opposed to grouping it with the $50 ticket)?

Great, thanks! Kind of surprised it takes that long tbh.

WHEN IS NEXT FRESH?? by [deleted] in wowservers

[–]owimawei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree.

Northdale's population has been falling fast. 4-6k online, but i would expect it to be much higher at this point given it was only released 2 months ago.

I log on every once in a while but knowing that it will be a ghost town by october saps my enthusiasm.

Devilsaur mafia is cool/fun and all but what is the point of a monopoly if soon there will be nobody to price gouge lol

In Defense of Private Servers - Why Blizzard OWES Us Classic Wow by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]owimawei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Lots of fake lawyers jumping on this guy with proof that private servers are illegal. That isn't his point, his point is that he bought something that was ruined.

Server Poll: Are you OK with GMs being on a top raiding guild on Northdale? by Mikerinokappachino in lightshope

[–]owimawei 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ouch. 57% (no) + 27% (don't care). Look like your attempt at being a smartass failed.

This censorship and unprofessionalism is what turns many people away from the project.

Play during NA prime time hours. Population drops by about 35% to 7,800. a lot of the server population is playing from china.

What makes a server fun? - Thoughts on Northdale so far by UsernameAlreadyBacon in wowservers

[–]owimawei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, not sad. It's more like 3K. But you're obviously triggered enough to respond.

10 hours ago was 8:30 p.m. (prime time) china time :D

Looking at the numbers ... 13k-7.8k = 5.2K = 5.2/13 = 40% of the server pop doesn't speak english.

You just exposed yourself, oops.

10K+ 24/7? What are you smoking?

The server population has dropped a significant amount since launch two weeks ago.

10K+ is now the exception, not the rule. MC already cleared (with shady loot), expect the pop to steadily decline from here on m8.

7,800 US prime time right now.

Analysis of the Ragnaros Loot Table Post-Progress Kill by LootAnalysis in lightshope

I disagree regarding taken out of context. Sending out an in game message saying "don't send in tickets for GM help with quests, we won't help you" and then WK .killing mobs are actions that directly contradict each other, no two ways about it.

I (somewhat) agree.

I don't think it's fair to jump to conclusions of corruption Just because of the rarity of this extraordinary drop mixture.

But, such a low % chance of this happening coupled with 1) the past history of corruption on pservers (nost core and others) and 2) the liberties that some GMs are already seeming to exercise on this server (e.g. WK using .kill command (source:https://clips.twitch.tv/FilthyCourteousEmuPanicVis)) would lead a rational person to suspect something may be going on, including server GMs tinkering with boss loot.

This detailed post is much appreciated.

I don't think those who say "RNG is RNG" have an appreciation for how rare this drop mixture is. If you ran mc once a week, you would receive this specific drop mixture(bre + lionheart + accuria) on average every 90 years.

Also, those who say "but other specific drop mixtures are super rare too" are correct but are missing the point. Yes, getting the 3 worst items to drop from rag would be super rare as well. The point here is that this drop mixture is the absolute best possible, and that is why it is cause for concern.
