Hi guys,

one quick question:

Could it be possible for you to adjust the spawntime for creatures, especially the lowbie ones, for the moment? Cause it's just impossible to play, only waiting for creatures to respawn.

Shouldn't be too difficullt... Something like

UPDATE `creature` SET `spawntimesecs`='60' WHERE `spawntimesecs`='yourspawntime=900?!?' AND `curhealth`<='160'

If i didn't get the tables wrong.... was a long time ago.

See you :)

No don't, that's the struggle. Dealing with 500 players. "Some hours" some might be sleeping, not fair. :P

@ loken: Yeah, but well, it takes like 5 minutes to implement.... and mostly i think it won't get better the next days since most people are just frustrated and give up ^^

Stone posted a vote as to the topic i see :) Well it's not like they HAVE to do it, already they do much work, so it's kind enough of them to offer their services...

But i think it would be appreciated... just don't get the rare mobs and elite with that sql., but shouldn't be too difficult, i did it many times.

If blizzard knew now what to do when vanilla launched, they would change respawn timers as they do with every expansion. They did that after a while during launch. There are too many players idle in starting zones because the spawn timers are really slow. The game progression has come to a halt. In retail vanilla launch, it wasn't this bad. We got kills and moved on. It's been since launch now and I have yet to come near any target I want. This is a joke. If you gonna try to act like blizzard than at least be like blizzard and make it happen. Change creature respawn timer in starting areas please.

You can level just fine for the first few levels easily just be outwitting your competition. Use your heads and it'll be alright. You can even group with other players to get quests done and be finished with a zone.

The spawn rates fine. It took 2x as long to level as usual or so for me, and that's to be expected during a launch.

Have you ever played other MMOs from before or during vanilla's era? It can be much worse.

That is either a lie or you were one of the lucky ones to get in at the very start. There is no way you can level at just half the normal time right now, more like 10x the normal time. Normally it takes me 20-30 mins to do 1-6, right now i gave up after 4hours played being at level 4.

The whole blizzlike argument is getting old, that argument makes sense for all things mechanical but this is a bottleneck that's slowing the server down like hell.

Would also be cool to get a blue post on this, I congratulate the team on this project but they seem highly unresponsive to the community.

I strongly recommand to create a party of 5 people as soon as you spawn, and do quests together.

Yesterday, I almost lost 1 hour trying "grinding" (bash any mobs with the 5 man party, even mobs with higher level). I only upped from lvl 1 to lvl 2. That was horrible.
After, I tried doing quests with another party, and within less than 2h00, I was lvl 6 and could move to the next sub-zone.

Really, team up, and it's not that long. If it takes 2h00 instead of 45min for the first 5 levels, it is not a reason to cry for. After lvl 5, it is generally ok. Just don't forget to team up each time you are several players for the same mobs.

I would like to recommend that to, cause the spawntimes atm., arent that good for more than 3000k players.

Hope you could do that.
