Impressions on Nostalrius so far

So... don't play here?

Get out, that kind of BS is not necessary.

Any way OP I think you might be a little over critical if these are all your gripes, sure some things are bugged but for the most part things are tip top. Even on Blizzards part the Vanilla launch was heavily bugged so if anything it's more blizzlike ironically xD

Another rather important thing for non-beta players to know is that a substantial proportion of the bugs currently being reported were already fixed and working fine during the beta.

This makes it even more annoying as a player who saw an issue years ago (and sometimes reported it himself) to see it broken here again, but I guess in some way it's a good thing : it means the staff should be able to find what's wrong rather quickly.

I guess the staff did quite a lot of core modifications that messed up some mechanics since the end of the beta . Hopefully the automated tests shall prevent this in the future .

omg lazy peons don't work ermagerd, seriously some people will always find something to cry about smh, this is best private server i ever played and to be fair lvl 10 opinion doesn't rly matter, just move along.

I don't think the server is very good at all. There has been a number of red flags raised so far, and I assume there are plenty more to come. My expectations are now set extremely low. But that said ...

The population is great (whether the reported numbers are real or not), and that's all that matters in vanilla, an otherwise simplistic and grindy version of WoW. It's the other people that make the game, just like most of us lead boring and flawed lives, but the company of others makes it bearable and sometimes even enjoyable.

I absolutely love the community here, the amount of mature and intelligent people seems to be fairly high, even trolling often includes a dose of actual humor instead of just retarded spamming. And the combination of (for today's standards) a harsh world and high number of players makes for something I've never experienced before.

So yeah, I think the server is busted, and by playing on many private servers before I learned to keep my expectations low, but overall experience is still very enjoyable.

And hey, if I'm wrong about the technical state of the server, great! I'll admit I was wrong and happily continue to play.

I don't know which part of beta you were in, but I was starting to feel alone on that point. *looks at beastslayer*

Why people see ONLY bad things most of the time? Why can't you see that on Nostalrius mining and herbalism nodes work pretty fine unlike on other servers? On shit servers like Feenix or Rebirth I couldn't even convince their developers that having to mine all of minerals inside the instances means nodes' spawning is bugged. Why can't you see sweet Charge/Intercept mechanics through obstacles? Why can't you see good players movement? Why can't you see awesome server stability?

Few quests didn't work? So what? I saw few quest events working perfectly like the quest The Summoning.

Nostalrius did rush its launch a little bit but it's still the best Pre-BC server out there and I don't think Kronos will be any better. Why? Because it's Twinstar, their realms suck donkey balls and Kronos already had multiple wipes and launches so if you want to waste your time on Kronos just to lose your character few monthes later, then go on.

As some of you may already know I was the one to be almost sure Nostalrius fakes their online numbers (not by bots) yet now I'm almost sure they don't.

The community size...
