Increasing the cap makes the server unstable and laggy.

BWL ZQ AQ are scripted, I believe Naxx is partially completed? The timeline still says "to be confirmed" for most releases so it's possible things get released sooner than it says.

It would help to know your faction. But in either case you can go to a vanilla database and sort wands by DPS, then see what options you have over the next few levels that you can work towards.

Mana isn't an issue at low levels but if you're full mana while grinding at levels 28+ you are killing much slower than you could be. DOTs plus wand gets surpassed by DOTs plus shadowbolt and then having improved drain soul makes a big difference.

Maybe read the stickied warlock guide that contains everything you need and more.

Dual boxing is only allowed in major cities for brief interactions (enchant, trade, etc.)

They did recreate it. After around half an hour, you were completely disconnected from the server. They implemented this two days ago when there were ~7k online and a 10k+ queue and it caused a much smaller and faster queue. But for some reason it apparently is no longer enabled.

Because people are idling at the character select screen while they work/sleep/etc so they can immediately jump back into the game rather than wait through the queue. There was a fix implemented to prevent this but apparently it isn't working.

Eh people blow things like that or differences in talent builds way out of proportion, nothing new there. Engineer is great for PvP but it is not required even at the highest levels, now or in real vanilla.

This is supposedly being worked on already but from what I can tell it unfortunately won't be implemented when the fresh server launches today.

Yes that is working as intended and is blizzlike.

A gold seller isn't going to buy a garbage item for 200g unless you paid them to do it. That's how the service works. They don't just randomly buy stuff from the AH.

June. The timeline can be viewed on the main Elysium site btw.

Notice how most of the patches/updates after the first several have "To Be Confirmed" next to their date. That means they are not set in stone and could be changed at some point.

The existing servers already have dynamic respawns, at least for mobs in the starting areas.

... with six times the number of concurrent players of vanilla servers, lol. That being said, the dynamic respawn system will make starter zones decent once the initial flood of characters spreads out a bit. The first week is going to be rough though.

They've said the tentative plan is to do TBC, but that is like two years down the line and a lot can happen between now and then.

He did send it to Ely staff, but they didn't respond/acknowledge it, so he posted publically. Or at least that's what he says happened on Reddit.

Yeah it's not that hard to make a "perfect" twink for whatever bracket you want, it just requires some planning ahead. Also remember that turning in marks gives exp so you may want to start doing BGs earlier in the bracket so you can gain rep faster.

Nope, there won't be.

Engineering is not required for competitive PvP and bloodvine tailoring set won't exist for 8+ months. Pick profs that will help make money, you can easily switch to something else down the road once you're 60 with epic mount and gear/enchants.

I had hoped today's update would get the imp book to respawn faster but it's still 3-4 minutes.

Lots of items will either have different stats or will be unavailable since the fresh server is progressive and will be using 1.4ish content and itemization despite having 1.12 talents and mechanics.

If you compare vanilla WoW to other MMOs at the time like EQ1, the difference is that hybrids in the other games were force multipliers to a much greater degree than in vanilla WoW. Plus some of them provided unique things that the typical roles didn't. WoW moved in that direction more over time but for the bulk of vanilla content hybrids just don't provide enough.

Pottu said in another thread that they're working on dynamic respawn for quest objects, but it isn't live yet. Hopefully it gets implemented this week on the active servers so we can see if it works or not.
