I'm getting sick and tired of being punished for playing on Anathema

Recommended Posts

I think it goes without saying that Anathema is a shining pinnacle of a vanilla wow private server except one glaring fact: the downtime. The deziens of Anathema are constantly punished for playing there; we're constantly singled out. I have no problem with maintenance and updates; I have a problem with the other 3 servers being up for HOURS while Anathema stays down. Why is it that that particular server is the candidate for HOURS of extra maintenance that the other servers are completely immune from?

 

Just now the servers went down for about 2 hours without warning and were happily brought back up - except of course for Anathema. While we speak it has been down for extra 2 hours completely separate from the other 3 servers. I honestly am getting a little sick of it, what makes this server so special that it needs an extra two hours of work? Certainly, it is running the same core; Darrowshire had BWL recently brought online. What's the issue? I picked that server as my main and in the past months of me playing on it this has happened probably 8 times. Sitting around waiting for my server to come back while the others are happily up.

 

I know you guys do great work and it is a free server, I have no reason to complain. But then again I do. I don't have a problem with downtime. I have a problem with being SINGLED OUT every damn time there's maintenance. It seems I made a mistake; did I?

My best guess here is that Anathema is the initial server that changes are applied to, and then the changes are applied to the others. If that is true, then it is possible that Anathema gets hit with changes that hurt the server and need to be reverted, and then the other servers are applied the changes that won't negatively affect the server. I'm only guessing this because on an enterprise level, usually people apply changes to one server, and then mimic the successful changes on the rest.

Only a guess, though.

No info no nothing except wait times, its starting to become obvious Elysium doesnt care for Nostalrius PvP and Elysium is their main priority.. The server has the name of the freaking project >_<

Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't there 2 test realms for this exact purpose? And why is the top population PVP server the one where sandboxing type changes applied to. It is without a doubt the best server Elysium has, why do they continue to fuck around on it like this? We're all getting sick of it.

 

If you wanna screw around do it on Elysium where I am currently leveling in a cesspool of cancer because Anathema is down. There's probably 250+ people in Deathknell.

"Punished"

Yes; punished. 25% of the servers are subject to 2 hours of extra maintenance every time there is maintenance. Guess which 25% that is? 

Go ahead and pick a word better suited to that situation. Rewarded? Exempted? 

I think punished works exceptionally well in this case.

Almost every server has a different patch layout. Anathema got transfers from other servers and its not even fresh like a test realm

Finally you can subscribe and play on https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/ where you can have demands because you are actually a customer there.

And for those that do not remember or do not know... Anathema still has better up-time, customer service and lag, than the original Vanilla WOW.

Population is the thing that affects changes made, I can guarantee you that. At my job, we have test servers that apply changes extremely easily and without issue, but when those changes are tested on a massive amount of ingoing and outgoing connections, that is when they break.

There's also 10 more years of technology and progression than vanilla wow and 2004.

I'm not sure what your point is. The point is that anathema is being singled out not that this is a free server. Please take your down-talking elsewhere we aren't idiots here.

Downtalking? Its not personal m8, but how can you have demands on something that is being given to you for free. I for one can't, What if the devs went to sleep, what can you or I do that can stop them from doing so? We are at their mercy for better or worse and all we can hope for is they are able and willing to provide the service they do.

Now imagine yourself in their shoes. Spending time from your life to provide something for free instead of going out for a beer or a movie, and have the ones benefiting grunge whine and demand stuff. Wouldn't you get to they point of wanting to say "F off!"?

They don't want us on the old Nost servers anymore, maybe? Seems like they want us to roll on their servers, that's why they opened Zeth'Kur, it's like they're "encouraging" us to ditch old characters.

It's the least likeable child of the family, shit happens. But seriously, probably because it needs more editing/fixing since it has ran with nost core and merges/imports.

Nost 2.0 is just the test server for patches and updates to make sure they're working before being applied to the other servers. For example when AQ comes out you guys will iron out all the bugs and problems with it for a few months before it's in great condition and applied to the fresh servers for us.

 

I for one thank you Nost 2.0 players for being the guinea pigs that give me the silky smooth gaming experience on Elysium. Nothing but love brothers. #Feelsgoodman

There are test servers, too, though. I get that with something like the AQ patch things may break, and I understand seeing Anathema is the most advanced progression wise, but all 4 servers were getting the same patch today and people are frustrated that the perception is their server is being singled out.

Enough with the conspiracy theories. There are 3 different timelines going on with the servers, and for all you know there could have been more complications with the older timeline that Nost PVP is on.

If you don't see the problem with this picture go ahead and leave this thread right now

Yeah, the date on your computer is wrong. It's 1.2.2017 now, not 2.1.2017.

You silly muricans.
