That's exactly what happens when you flood a market with money, it raises the prices on everything. Economics 101.

Vanillalord provided evidence from vanilla and you provided links from TBC. I'm still not buying it.

Complete all of the quests, be frugal, and have fun.

Create a new account and start fresh.

Setup redirection

It would give some people an incentive to join the test if they could keep their characters from the test. Enough people joined the last test so no incentive is needed.

It's not Blizzlike, look at vanillalord's link they used to suicide to exit. http://wow.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=243&mid=114621126032685784

What were the battleground queue times for the Alliance on the original Nost PvP server? The queue times for the Horde were generally fairly long, I'm guessing this was due to less Alliance players wanting to PvP or a population imbalance.

I get about the same ping as Doc and I'm also on the USA West Coast. Try connecting to our server during the Stress test this Sunday and check your ping then.

Is the usage of /camp porting the player to the front of the instance Blizzlike? It doesn't seem like it based on the link provided by vanillalord. The suicide method to travel to the beginning of the instance seem perfectly acceptable. I guess the title of this thread should read: Make soloing Dire Maul Blizzlike

I'm not saying to eliminate DM soloing. I think it should be less convenient as mages can just /camp and be ported to the zone, or is that not how they do it? From your link:

Hopefully the site will be back up soon so people can find out more about the stress test this Sunday!

Spec for leveling until 60. Then spec for the role that you will play at 60. You can always play an offspec at 60, having lot's of gear for the offspec helps a ton!

You'll have a chance to play your warrior first since the old PvP server will be released first. Play on all of the servers to feel them out, it's hard to say what will happen when all 3 servers are up and running.

1. What makes Vanilla so awesome for you (in your opinion)? The community and sense of challenge. True gamers like a real challenge and the world feels dangerous! 2. How hard is it to grind to level 60? What is the average time to level? It's slightly challenging and you can choose your own path. The journey is time consuming. Around 200 hours. 3. Is farming gold a struggle? No, just play the game, have fun, and find valuable items. 5. How difficult is it to get epic/legendary gear? It's not difficult to get epics, it just takes time. Play a useful class and find a raid spot in a decent guild. 6. Are there flying mounts? No. Flying mounts make the world less dangerous since you can just fly and avoid pvp and monsters, why would you want less of a challenge? 7. Do you see yourself playing on Vanilla servers for the next, let's say, 2 years? If yes, why? If no,why? Who knows, life changes fast!

The system was live last Sunday and will be live again this coming Sunday. Judge for yourself!

Yes, come stress test with us this Sunday. I believe it starts at 6pm GMT +1

They should be available for a few months(3?) after the fresh server release. It will be enough time to earn enough gold to buy one.

Were queue times for the Alliance just as bad? The BG queue times for the Horde were pretty terrible, I always assumed that the Horde outnumbered the Alliance and they got instant queues.

Our guild always had to deal with the 7pm pst lag. Please consider moving the maintenance window to China's prime time. Thanks!

Yeah Blizz capped the dungeons pretty quickly, I only remember running through brd once with 40.

Grouping up to kill a named mob is a must, but grouping up to for the loot 8 bear asses quests is silly since usually only loot 1 item per mob.

You can only do raid quests while in a raid.

You could have 40 players in BRD before Blizz created the MC attunement quest. I remember running to MC through BRD with our raid group.

Sure it will be fine and we will eventually make it past the starting zone like before when there was no dynamic spawns, but the starting zones WILL still be a mess.
