Vomit

No, you crying to slow everyone down to your pace is "retail levels of narcissism". Thats why they dumbed retail down and simplified the game to the point it's a child's game. Bottom line. no one is going to quit because content is released that they aren't ready for. it will be there when they get ready. People will quit because there is no progress to move them forward. So before you all jump the gun asking for slower progress, ask yourselves if what you really want isn't to chase off those who play at a faster pace then yourselves, and have the server to yourselves.

Progression will be there no matter what stage you are as a casual player. My post was kinda tongue-in-cheek. This topic just came to my attention because of the Elysium announcement that it was here. I have no problems with casual players, hell, I am one for the holiday season. But just because some people are in BWL, does not mean you can't still get there later. Expecting to hold everyone's progress back to anyone else's seems ridiculous to me. The players who are ready to go forward as content releases would otherwise get bored and leave. Playing on the previous servers that were here, you surely saw a lot of people leave when they progressed to a point where there was no new content available. I saw a lot of people come and go because they got bored. You absolutely don't need full AQ/Naxx gear to move on in TBC. TBC blue gear at lvl 60 is comparable to most vanilla gear. Hell, if you just Start playing in TBC you get green gear available at lvl 58 thats better than a lot of MC gear. If you are just waiting for TBC, then what would you care about what gear you have when it starts? Knowing all the boss strats and content most definitely speeds things up. It sounds to me like all the people asking to slow things down aren't wanting to just experience the game, they are collectors wanting every possible item they can get to clutter up their banks, while the rest of us want to actually get to clear Naxx before Blizzard releases their "classic". Everyone shouldtake a deep breath and go look up the stats of how many millions of people never got to clear, little else even start retail's vanilla Naxx. Then check out what percentage of Elysium players on Anathema got to Naxx. Knowing the boss fights and mechanics absolutely speeds things way up. I'll also throw in that Millenials are largely better gamers than us OG Vanilla retail players, and really show up with their "A" game to raids.

OK, because of this server, I lost all my progress from previous servers because everyone wanted "fresh", but fast progression. so no one showed up to play on Stratholme. Now the babies are crying to slow it all down. I don't want to spend the next year trying to catch up to where I was. Keep it fast for fricks sake. I truly deeply don't want to go play on Lightshope, but no way in hell am I waiting a year and a half to catch up to where I should be. Please don't screw over those of us who have forever remained loyal to Elysium. Any further I mean. I should probably add. Not one single person is going to quit because it's fast progression. They will suck it up and casually get to where they are going one way or another. Just because the server progresses at a certain pace, doesn't mean every single player will be at that pace. What's next, no one gets new content until everyone else catches up to said content? This is a ridiculous thread and should be properly ignored.

So this isn't a "you can keep your policy" lie? I toon ain't going byebye forever?...again

I've always felt like there seems to be a shortage of quest xp to level. It hasn't seemed any worse than usual the last week to me.

We're not customers. More like leechers. BTW, anyone else getting immediate server connects while logging in?

I love this Addon

I was on vacation when it all happened, and didn't even know until I tried to log on after I got back home. I thought I'd never see my toons again. I shouldn't be affected by any rollbacks.

Didn't moonkin form suck until BC or later? I can't remember seeing many before that. Maybe suck is a little too strong. Druids were typically relegated to healing.

I ended up on the PVE realm because of the overcrowding on the PVP realm. If everyone else on the PVP realm would figure that out and come to the PVE realm, I could go back to the PVP realm.

My first death was by one of the first kobolds outside the human starting point. I hadn't realized my chat box was open and i had 1's and 2's spammed into it as i died and noticed it was open.

I don't remember having flight paths opened up until I ran to them. This is vanilla, you don't just get flight paths like we had for the stress test. You'll have to actually run to each flight path and discover it.

No, No you won't. Talk big buddy, but we'll see when it comes time.

Slow and easy. Professions as you go, just like the first time. I started playing WoW the day it hit, and played it until 2-3 months into Cata. That was the xpac that killed it for me. No more social requirements. Simply sit in a que for a few minutes and no matter how you act, you will have a group for whatever you want.

I played on Nost, but wasn't part of any crowd. I only got to play on it the last few months it was around, and only solo played leveling characters for the memories. This time 'round, I'm going back to the social play. 3 days and counting.

Solid info, and well laid out. Thanks for the effort. I've always favored combat/swords, but think I might try the 15/31/5 dagger spec this time around.

Ret pallys are a blast for solo pve. But truly useless in raids. Their best dps is comparable to a crappy rogues worst dps. The only time a ret pally can keep up with a raid group's other dps is when the other dps really sucks. There are a lot of people that swear they were, or know someone who was an amazing ret pally, but most likely, the rest of the raid groups dps just sucked and their tanks and heals were the amazing ones.

I'm not calling you a racist, just the way you phrase it, labeling it as a racial group instead of the more accurate, Botters. It's not just Chinese people who do it. A comment can be racist, even coming from a diversity loving Liberal. Which I am not BTW. Not that my political affiliation has anything to do with my online gaming presence. I understand others made previous comments about you personally being racist. That has not been my intention.

I'm so excited about it I'm spending my evening trolling the forums.

I fished that lake around Scholomance forever, and then some more. All in the off-chance that I might actually find a hilt or some crap that would start me on a legendary quest for Ashbringer.

I'm really not trying to drama bomb you, but you haven't engaged in civil conversation yet. Your being accusatory and argumentative. Fine, it's not racist, in your opinion, to segregate players based on their geographical heritage. I guess it all depends on how you word it.

More like, Learn2Read is needed. "We will always remain free to play, and never offer any sort of donation rewards."

I don't think there is a legit way to keep botters from playing, other than just ban them as they're discovered. You can't say "please don't allow Chinese people to play". That alone is pretty racist. Banning gold sellers and botters as they get discovered is all there is. When a game is free to make an account and play, gold selling farmers are going to "Horde" right in. (pun intended) Just move along and report what you know is reportable.

Just make a gmail account for the game if you don't already have one. Seems like other people are having similar issues with not just yahoo, but also with some ISP emails.
