Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

As requested by our community, we tried to fill a list of the changes we applied to the server after the launch. We may have forgotten some, so don't worry if your bugreport is fixed but does not appear here.
Note that the release events kept us busy, and slowed down the developing team a bit (had to focus on new exploits detected, crashes, performance issues, attacks mitigation, ...).

STABILITY AND PERFORMANCE

• Fix an issue that limited the number of online players to less than 1000. The realm is now lag free with more than 5200 online players
• Also fixed an issue regarding maps (LoS, pathfinding) that happened on the first hours after the release
• Fix several crash sources - the server is now quite stable, and we are still working on it to fix other potential crashes
• Fix some lag sources
• The anticheat has been improved to detect new hack attempts we found these last days

Your server has also been attacked several times these last days, and we made our possible to minimize the impact on performance:

• A player used an advanced attack to make the server lag - fixed now
• A player found a way to crash the server, and managed to crash the live realm a few times before we fixed it.
• And it is sad to say, but a lot of DDoS attacks from various sizes have been blocked this week (they actually had started a few weeks ago)

Exelent job guy's, post like this are candy to the comunity!

Thank you! ^^

Awesome work guys, keep the the patchnotes coming!

"Undercity guard gossip" still doesn't seem to work, so maybe when you have the time, a little relook on that would be good.

Big kudos to you, lots of work done already, keep it up and this will be the one server to rule them all, much appreciated!

As a Mac user this is great. While it's still a bit iffy with the fix, you, at least, get to your destination.

Thank you SO much for being the first server, EVER, to have a fix of some sort for this!!!

"Scarlet Bodyguard is no longer skinnable" gave me a good laugh hahaha

Awesome!

Have you tried deleting the WBD folder and restarting the game client?

Awesome to see these fixes, the mac boat fix seems really helpful
