You wouldn't be doing much leveling anyway. Heard some guys this morning saying they made level 7 in 4 hours maybe 4.5. I made 4 in 2 hours and 45 minutes, I think, from running to TB, the southern Barrens town, and Silverpine. Choked full of people all the way (4k in game, 5k in queue, I think).

What class are you? If you get to 15 just do instances. Although I can't remember what level original Ragefire Chasm was... I think like 12-15 or something then Wailing Cavern was like 18-20ish?

I think you have to be level 5 to get into RFC? Good until 13. FUCK Wailing Caverns.

Insert clever insult here
You ain't doing anything in RFC until you're at least 10, preferably 12-13. Wailing Caverns is doable as 17 if you're the healer, otherwise 18+ and the tank better be 20 or it's going to be quite frustrating. And Metro you can't level through instances in vanilla. Well, you can but it's damn slow.

This launch timing is perfect.

I experienced the mess which was the first day(without a q because I'm not a cuck) and in a few weeks once the shitshows calms down and makes the server playable my exams will be done and I can nolife for a few months again.

Do these servers plan to progress or have the option transfer chars to a TBC server?

TBC > Vanilla >>>>>> everything else

No.

Twinstar have their own tbc server but it's probably shit.

Just wait 20 years for corecraft if you want to play TBC.

:negative: Why is it so much harder to code TBC?

Tough 5-10 mans will always be my favourite number. 40 is just zero accountability for anyone but the tank p.much.

Will probably still give it a go when interest cools a bit.

It's not that much harder but the problem is that the only semi capable team that wants to work on TBC is also autistic as fuck and are scripting things like C'thun and Cenarion Circle Guards saluting you when you walk around them with exalted rep, etc.

From what I understand, most of the effort went into coding Vanilla and WotLK servers. To put things into perspective, only one server that I know of (Gamer's District) has the whole Wrathgate/Siege of Undercity questline properly working, and it's been that way for less than a month now. Too bad GD is a 2+year old fun-server. The fact that each individual p. server's team won't 'share' their own code/work with the rest of the developers also greatly 'hindered' any form of 'progress' in a timely manner, where private servers are concerned.

Hell, I've yet to see Nostalrius release their code as of yet, they're probably much busier blowing Blizzard's WoW devs for a chance to work at them, when Corecraft's PTR is 10x the server Nostalrius was (I'm exaggerating, of course, I just don't get why so many people are ignorantly praising Nost as the p.server haven when there were still so many bugs present up until the server's demise, not to mention the abysmal actual gaming experience due to the ridiculously small LoS, people were yelling for a 3rd server daily whereas the devs were to stubborn to accept any money or try to look for new GMs).

It just goes to show just how stubborn most private server 'developers' are, and how desperate most fans of the older WoW are, I guess.
