Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Greetings,

With the opening of Alterac Valley, we discovered that players abused major in-game bugs. The problem is that these players were also part of the guilds which were given access to the PTR realm for testing, meaning that this abuse was hidden from the staff on purpose for weeks.

As a consequence, sanctions were applied to these players: 1 week ban for group leaders who abused and promoted the major abuse (also a last warning prior to a permanent ban if they abuse the game again).

For all of the players who benefited majorly from this abuse, a complete Alterac Valley reputation’s reset with a suppression of all Alterac's reputation items has been applied.

As a reminder, our Terms of Use is accessible here.

A clarification regarding topics hurting other players experiences will be done in a few days.

Regarding Alterac Valley, more than 1,000 players joined the battleground at the same time in less than 1 hour. There have already been more than 80 BGs opened and major issues that were reported have been fixed since the last server restart. There was no server crash or lag during the release of this new content.

Best regards,
Nostalrius

I love you.

.

I guess we also didn't tell you about towers spawning 5 archers spawning on top of eachother and 1 shotting everyone

why are those folks banned btw?
it is blizzlike what they did rlly.
is was possible in retail to premade AV with a simple API and there even enough proof about it.

so plz enlighten us what they did of real abuse.

I think you forget the part where we had to organize 40v40 ourselves between other guilds, so at the time there was never more than one AV going at the same time meaning we all got in. So there was no need for this so called 'exploit' which is blizzlike just FYI.

Oh and don't forget that time you guys left the server in 'debug' mode so even when we did organize something we popped 80 AV's instead of 1 game of 40v40.

How the fuck could that /script shit possibly be known on a PTR that had a maximum of one single game up and no raid was formed? Everyone just queued straight into it.

You ban two of the first R14 players over using a macro to something that can easily be done on voice communication anyways? You are ruining your server over this shitty BG which btw having played like 20+ avs today is probably the buggiest piece of shit I've ever seen

you should be ashamed you even released it in that state + not to mention the patch its self is shit, you're missing tons of items and you randomly put in half the rep rewards, let people buy them then took them away

complete mongoloids, rip nostalrius its been going downhill for weeks and now u rush out this garbage bg where the warmasters aggro from 300m away and drek hits for 100 dmg and 40+ bowmen spawn per tower and one shot anyone that rides by, completely ignoring the feedback people did give you on the PTR

AV premades have been a thing for ever, so the fact that you claim they kept it "hidden" from you, really say more about you, than about them...

/hi

Before the lock.

I'd like to know that too.
