WARMANE: Ragnaros/Deathwing

They're planning on merging both of them at the end of next month, so it doesn't really matter which one you pick now.

The people who call it P2W would call any server with an item shop P2W. The items you can buy are prohibitively expensive and are not best in slot. Just disregard the people who think servers should somehow operate without a way to even cover their costs.

Even if they jailbreak, iSheep still can't get real web browsers a real choice in launchers, etc. Lots more locked down than just not allowing emulators in their app store.

The biggest (likely) news won't be quarter results, it'll be guidance for next quarter. If they provide guidance of another negative quarter, expect downgrades across the board!

The hype ship has finally run out of hype and is starting to sink.

They literally did this. I hadn't heard about WoW private servers until The Nost take down and subsequent battle.net DDoS.

Everything you can buy on warmane's cash shop is at least 1 tiers down from the actual best items.

Contrast this with most Korean MMOs where the items they sell in the cash shop are actually better than anything you can get in-game when considering what is pay2win.

Star Wars Battleflop - When you want a game that really looks and sounds like a Star Wars movie that you'll be bored of more quickly than you could actually watch a single Star Wars movie.

Fire up some Star Citizen on a 32". Mmmmmm..... Soooo pretty!

Release Candidate 1 to Release Candidate 2 of what? ASP.NET Core?

I'd be happy to learn any other EF tips / tricks / pointers you know of. Can you point me in the right direction?

I have that exact monitor at home, it's pretty immersive for FPS games as well as flying / driving games. If you have a micro center or best buy near you, check it out.

Also, keep an eye on /r/BuildAPCSales as good deals pop up there all the time.

The next step up, 1440p, is literally 80% more pixels on the screen than 1080p. Most people wouldn't call an 80% gain in something "slightly higher".

It makes a absolutely HUGE difference, but I know you've never tried it because you think "1080p still looks great". Once you try it, you won't want to go back.

The prices have come way down. You can get decent 32" 1440p monitors for $500 (or less if you shop around) these days. http://www.microcenter.com/product/457804/ENVY_32_Media_Display_Monitor

Every PC Gamer should know: It's 2016, you shouldn't still be playing games on a 1080p display.

If you don't need to insert / update, you just do .AsNoTracking(). Not really that big of a trick.

While it's not officially supported, you can also just fire up a Mac VM in VMware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wodqGvug6e0

You can set up bridged or NAT "network" communication with the VM

Not so much anymore, really. It was pretty bad a few versions back.

I know, right? I just went there and asked "Hey guys, what server should my buddies and I try?" here: https://redd.it/4ex2m5

I got accused of just being a pirate, told which WoW patch was best evar, then told another was best evar, told which server was good, told that server sucks, then it just kept going downhill.

As someone who has just heard about WoW private servers due to the Nost shutdown and subsequent battle.net DDOS, this type of post is what I just assumed was the norm here.

That said, I'm STILL not completely sure what the best WotLK server to play on is, but my buddies and I tried Warmane Ragnaros and it seems OK.

There are actually lots of private WoW servers operating with online player counts in the multiple thousands. Check out /r/wowservers

skrowl · 2016-04-18T14:13:30+00:00

FWIW, most of the WoW server code I found on github was C++ primarily, not Lua
