I myself was on a medium population server in retail. That is not the case here. You are going to be astounded at the amount of people on Nostalrius alone. I akin Elysium to being in the clown show zoo that is a North American Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve.

What Torrent thingy? Have you downloaded the torrent in the first place? Here is a free torrent manager to download the game. The WoW torrent is just under 6GB in size. http://www.vuze.com/download.php This is the torrent itself https://pirateproxy.vip/torrent/5076223/

If you enjoy competing for mobs in quests and having 6+ hour wait times? Play Elysium. If you enjoy being able to level and a comfortable pace without having to wait around all day just to finish a quest? Go Nostalrius.

To download the torrent, you need a torrent manager such as BitTorrent or Vuze.

Was this an actual legitimate question? SMH

LMAO It's a stand-alone mate. You don't install it. Just run WOW.EXE from your game folder. You're welcome.

How hackers work is they will gain access by trying out various names. Use of an account name matching one of your characters is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED. Also, they use random password generators and basically brute force hack your account until they succeed. That's why using a completely random (and I made this password up) such as 8c_fhD9x1* is a very strong password. It does not include any common words from the english dictionaries hackers use. When creating a new password, make sure it is AT LEAST 8 CHARACTERS LONG and includes a variety of the different types of characters above. If you have trouble remembering it, download a program such as KeePass. It (KeePass) will also randomly generate a password for you based upon your specified criterias. In addition I recommending setting up 2-factor authentication that Elysium recently implemented, that works much in the same way as a Blizzard authenticator.

No, it will not. Seeing as how the token generator is still broken anyways. You gear is gone; as Microdots said, be grateful they didn't get you banned. Cut your losses, create a stronger password and move on.

I was recently told by Pottu to "Wait until Nostalrius fixes it." Now I understand before the holidays everyone was busy with family, vacations, etc. and you guys work on a volunteer staff. I am interested to know what is being done about this and what the estimated time frame is for a solution to this issue. Or are you trying to be truly Blizzlike and only give vague answers such as the coveted "SOON (TM)"

OK, and you have the contact information for the people that I can send this to?

I think he's trying to use it as a lame ass excuse to get his post count up so he can look like a "cool kid"

As for the gold selling issue, you either have the option to use the in-game feature or get an addon called Spam Throttle. I use ST and I haven't received any messages in the two weeks that I've been using it. The gold sellers have started sending me in game mail as a result.

Sorry to hear that i know it sucks being hacked and losing what you have worked for. Sounds like you need to use stronger passwords and look in to using the 2 step authentication feature that they recently implemented once you hear back from the GM's about your password issue.

This is never going to happen. Ever. Charging a subscription fee opens them up to litigation to be sued by Blizzard; any and all funds received in that manner would have to be paid back to Blizzard. Quietly asking for donations is something else entirely. You are receiving nothing in return for giving them your money.

There is a post on the server maintenance costs on the website. They speculated that during the "current" (before the release of Elysium) that they were paying 900 Euro a month to maintain the two Nostalrius PvP and PvE servers. With the release of Elysium, they anticipated that the cost would rise to 1200 Euro per month. Unless you are feeling quite generous and willing to donate another 300-400 Euro per month to maintain another server, i expect the opening of another server very unlikely.

It's release day. I started trying to log in at 12 PM EST. I have yet to get in. The servers are being bombarded by an extremely high number of users, to the point where another server is really necessary (although will be unlikely)

I haven't been able to log in to the game after 13 hours of trying. You aren't the only one mate.

If you are having trouble extracting the .rar files, download 7-zip. It's free. As shino mentioned, after you exact them, sometimes there is a folder inside the one you extracted. The addon must be inside a folder (no loose files), in your Addons folder

Keep trying to be smart I hear your ego needs it. You tried to pick apart the logic of what was my opinion and failed epicly. You seriously need to pull your head out of your backside.

OMFG Thank you mate. Glad this post got stickied. Edit: Luna Unit Frames wasn't in that list of addons. I personally prefer it to frames such as Xperl; it also has a built in 'Clique' function where you can bind your spells to raid frame clicks eliminating the need for the Clique addon. YOU MUST EDIT "-MASTER" OUT OF THE FOLDER NAME or it will not work. You're welcome. https://github.com/Aviana/LunaUnitFrames/archive/master.zip To display the TotalHP of a mob, you need MobHealth3 as well. You have to wait to be in combat for the addon to calculate and go from percentage to total HP in your target frame.

hmm.. lets see. 31-7=24. Christmas Eve is on the 24th. Also, Holidays are known to be from around the 22nd to Jan 2. It appears to me that YOU'RE just really dumb. Nice try though.

Is this going to be an ongoing thing? I can't even change my action bars without having them reset every time I log in. What is going to prevent this angst in the future?

It's likely that they are waiting until January 7th when the new server is released. Hang on to your panties. The new server isn't even up yet. Also, people seem to forget that they are human and very likely have families to visit over the holidays. How would you like it if you were having christmas dinner and some prick kept sending you text messages every 5 minutes demanding to know when you are going to come over for a visit? Or more relevant, you are spending time with your family and your boss just won't leave you alone DEMANDING to know when you are going to turn in your project?
