I don't want to get harassed by players that are 20 levels higher than me but I refuse to play the pve server. /logic

You're willing to wait in line for 5 hours so you can kill a specific mob in Barrens? That doesn't sound crazy at all :D

Disc is the easiest to level. It might not be the most fun, but it's the easiest. If we can't multiply the numbers together, what is an alternative calculation to use? Let's say I get 10% smaller heals that cost 10% more to cast. How do I calculate the cumulative effect of these two things?

Wow! I thought it was bad when the pve server had a 20 minute wait.I would text my friend and tell him to get in line so we can play in a bit. They should do a 1 week trial run where the population cap on one server is 50,000. Just see what happens. If there's never a wait to get in, maybe people will actually log out instead of afk. The population might go down even though the cap is up. Or it would have 50k people online and afk, and it would be the most interesting thing to happen this year.

I couldn't find anything at all. Some of the top results for "wow private pve server" are reddit threads. People ask this question and don't get a real answer. Retro WoW shows up in a lot of lists, but that's sort of a crazy place to test things.

How many of the players are actually human? I can't imagine 25000 people appearing out of nowhere to play vanilla wow. Why were none of these people on any of the other servers? The only pve server I could find, Magic WoW, had about 120 players per faction at any given time. Kronos was the only server that had a considerable population, and it was a fraction of what Elysium has.

Why do shadow priests consistently run out of mana when I'm tanking, but I never run out of mana when I'm healing as a disc priest? My prot paladin has some pretty good healing gear, but healing is god awful. My mana regen is about 20% slower than a holy paladin, mana pool is 10% smaller, healing spells are something like 15% weaker, chance to crit is 5% lower, I don't get any mana back when it crits. If I have the 5% extra crit chance, this brings the crit rate up to maybe 10% or so, and that other talent means you get 100% of your mana back when that happens, so that's about 10% free healing. To calculate the ballpark cumulative effect, multiply all of those together. (0.8 mana regen)*(0.9 mana pool)*(0.85 healing power)*(0.95 relative crit chance)*(0.9 free mana at 10% crit rate) = 0.52326, or about 52%. A prot paladin with exactly the same gear is 52% as effective.

You know how everyone you work with is retarded, and they ask stupid questions like how to attach files to an email? Those are the people playing WoW. - Paladins and druids offering to heal for the group while using dps gear and dps talent points. - "Shadow priests heal just fine" says the priest who goes oom in 3 seconds, has no man regen while casting, and didn't bring any water to the dungeon. - Mages who aoe in dungeons and die every single time. New flash: non-elite monsters hit just as hard as the elite monsters. If you have 10 scorpids or 10 gnomes on you, you're done. This is particularly hilarious in the BRD 10 second respawn room. The correct way to do the room and never have any issues is to have the warrior or druid tank hold agro with demoralizing shout, and the monsters are killed one at a time. The dps might pull agro on one monster at a time, but the healer can manage that. This has worked every time I have ever tried it. I have yet to see a single party get through that room by using aoe because the mage has a 100% chance of dying. I remember one particularly hilarious thing from the legit vanilla days. I was the healer and we were in SM Armory. The arms warrior says he wants to solo Herod. We all agree, and we watch him get destroyed. The guy gets mad that I didn't heal him. When he said solo, he meant the opposite of solo.

Check your addons. I had an addon called something like Automate, and it would skip menus like that. For example, a vendor will say some stuff and have the option to buy. It would skip the conversation and go directly to the buying and selling. That addon also messed up some things related to sticky targeting. Just turn off all addons and see if the menu options are different.

Does Nost have more players than the retail game? This is insane. Even on the pve server, entire zones look like they've been carpet bombed. Every animal is dead, every quest item is camped. I text my friend to get in line so we can play together in an hour. Every zone looks like Barrens chat. It really does capture the vanilla experience. The Hellscream server in 2006 was like this.

On the PVE server, I've noticed that quite a few team-specific NPCs are not PVP flagged. As an alliance player, I was able to kill several horde NPCs south of the BFD entrance in Ashenvale without getting PVP flagged. If horde players were standing next to me, they would have no way of stopping me from doing this. I think the area I'm talking about is called Kargathia Outpost in Ashenvale, but I'm sure it applies to other NPCs around the world.

Can't you just leave the world chat? I need to /leave and /join it every time I lose the ability to use that channel
