Will there be a faction lock, as in lets say I make my first character an orc warrior, but then I want to make a human to reroll with a new friend. Will this be allowed? I heard rumors of some type of faction lock? I didn't even know this was a thing.

Seriously appreciate the quick response. Very happy to hear there is no faction lock.

Can I ask you why you say this? Where can we find out if dynamic spawn rate is implemented, even if it is... will it be worthwhile for the no doubt thousands and thousands of players bound to flood the servers?

I was almost set on choosing a warlock to level with the fresh server launch (Nost 2.0/Elysium PvP) but the more I hear about their endgame and what they are (supposedly?) expected to do... they almost sound more like a hybrid/support which is not a role I want to fill. So for an example whats the deal with the shards? Am I really going to be expected (in terms of being "raid ready") to craft 40 healthstones for everyone in the raid? How about summoning? It also costs a shard to summon the rest of the raid members, am I expected to do this? Assuming I'll be one of the first people at the raid, because guess what? I've been crafting healthstones. What about curses? For example I've heard a lot of locks may be expected to essentially make the tank and/or mages better. Curse of elements (reducing mobs resistance to frost/fire or something along those lines right?) So instead of using my own DPS spells am I going to be expected to do nothing but buffing/banishing or what? I just don't want to spend countless hours leveling only to reach raid readyness and be expected to debuff (curse) mobs and buff other classes. I hope this all makes sense. I would also like to note I don't have interest in PvP, strictly talking group content here. Are locks ignored by healers in general? In terms of life tapping themselves and then exhausting their HP and eventually running out of DPS essentially? I guess (along with answering the questions above) I'd like to know what my expectations are at end game as a level 60 lock, it sounds like I don't exactly focus on DPS but instead a ton of utility and buffing others? It sounds like a heavy load to take with a lot of skill required. If I want to focus on pure DPS would I be looking more into a mage class? Really any contributions and basic comparisons/contrasts of what I can expect with a mage versus a lock would be fantastic. What can I expect my role for each to be in raids? What are the differences? Any personal experiences more than welcome!

I completely agree with you, of course the more I learn it the more I'll understand it. What I'm saying is, I don't want to spend countless hours having fun and blowing ish up while going from 1-60, only to be greeted at level 60 with "hey whatever you did leveling, the exact opposite is expected of you here" if that makes sense.

That doesn't exactly sound appealing to me, its not that I don't want any responsibility I guess it just sounds more daunting than it probably really is. Its hard to understand all of the ins/outs of a class you've never played and have zero experience with you know? I still like the appeal of a Lock I just have no experience to fall back on you know?

Could you please explain what "but you must use your ss spell by cooldown" means? I'm not very familiar with the spells yet. I also do not know what "coe/cos/cor" stand for, my apologies. How often is banish off cooldown? Could you please explain the mage "buffs"

I dabbled in WotLK emulation years ago and don't quite remember much. I missed the actual vanilla train altogether. My question really is about Vanilla vs. WotLK. I currently hate the state of retail as I feel everything is just easy mode and a rush to endgame treadmill more or less, nor do I have time for it. So when looking at vanilla vs WotLK what are some of the major differences I would notice from one server to the next. For instance, I'm under the impression that vanilla is quite difficult in many areas where it really shouldn't/doesn't need to be. Questing for instance will take you running from one end of the map to the other, have you missing quest chains altogether if you don't "explore" and having to run to actual dungeon instances. I know some people look at this as pure fun which is totally fine. Doesn't WotLK address many of these "issues" (again, I realize many like this feel)? These are the types of things I would like to know before selecting a server. If you would care to elaborate.

Going to keep this short, looking for a guild that will be on evenings US EST time and/or weekends. Just gauging interest/seeing if anything is out there!

Would you please elaborate? This is the first I've heard of such a thing. How exactly does it work? And more importantly, would you please explain how I may utilize it (instructions on use) to get it up and running?

Would you mind elaborating on this? There were some serious mistakes in server management during the first two months after it's release so we can expect more (?). Many players just left and won't try this server again.

Months*

I know this server is being ran somewhere in EU correct, I live EST in the United States. So as the post stated the "AMA on Sunday November 13th on /r/wowservers at 9PM server time" I have no idea what the server time translates to my time EST. Can someone please assist me? I'm very intrigued.
