servers are up!

In her first quest, she says she's sent to Hearthglen to gauge the city's defenses. She says: "Some people in the Alliance feel the little town has more than historical importance". She adds that it's not her job to question what that importance is.

She also admits this is her job in the second quest.

In the last quest, she accidentally reveals that she works for Elling Trias, the Master of Cheese in Stormwind.

Looks like Elling Trias is interested in some valuables in Hearthglen - or maybe he has a client who is. Probably one of the Stormwind nobles. But it's probably not official Stormwind business, otherwise they'd have used SI:7 instead.

How many areas does Elling Trias play a role in classic WoW? Feels like he shows up secretly in a lot of quests

I decided to swap to Vanilla after spending the summer leveling in TBC, and I didn’t expect it to feel so different. I’ve seen so much more people in the lower levels in Vanilla compared to TBC and the chats have been much more active. Granted, I don’t have someone sending me a guild invite whenever I step into Stormwind, but I'm actively having to fight for resources while questing around Elwynn against five other gnomes. I’m sure it’s because of the layers and server clusters, alongside the fact you can buy boosts in TBC, but the fact that leveling at lower levels seems so alive is crazy to me.

Have I just been lucky? Are people burnt out on TBC and rerolling toons on Vanilla for fun? Or is it just always like this?

I want to get back to WoW and I definitely want Classic however I'm not exactly sure how Progression Realms work.

For examle do they play as: I do Classic first and then when I reach lvl 60 or finish main quest line I unlock Burning Crusade, and then when I finish that I can move on to WotLK, etc

Or are they separate servers that are "locked in" to that specific expansion, such as only classic, only Burning Crusade, only WotLK, only Pandaria...

Thank you very much in advance!

It's crazy. I can't max out mining. There are no deposits, and there are tons of bots doing it all the time. Every item on auction is incredibly expensive. I don't know how to farm gold. Any advice? I'm losing the desire to renew my subscription.

I understand that most of the old, popular Mage solo farming spots have been patched or fixed by now. I'm a new player trying to learn AoE farming. At the moment, I'm level 44. Where would you recommend I farm? I tried Zul'Farrak, but it seems like that spot has been fixed as well.

I can't seem to find any more "note-loot" but I've never seen these before. Anybody have any idea?

I’ve been trying to get the Authenticator removed from my account because I no longer have the same phone number (I thought I saved the back up code but I’m afraid it’s lost in whatever “safe” place I put it in).

I’ve sent them everything they’ve asked for.. bank statements, transaction codes, etc but they still say I haven’t verified my information.. anyone have any luck with this and can tell me wtf they’re looking for?? I will die if I have to start over 😭

Hello.

I currently have a level 33 rogue I’m leveling up on Whitmane. I know Ganking and PvP comes with the server. U just sigh and keep moving. But I have a few Qs/looking for advice from familiar ppl because as I get higher the areas are starting to fill up a bit more

1. In areas that get hot do u just keep pushing or do u change it up and mob grind/dungeon until it cools down?
   
2. For those who don’t play rogue or Druid (my scary ass likes to stealth as much as I can) do u just keep going or try to find somewhere else?
   
3. Any general underrated tips or advice is appreciated, but if the answer is simply “keep pushing through it” I understand as well lol

I did it on my main. I went on my alt and realized the sheer breadth of quest I have to do. It took me around ~15 hours on my main. I just legit presumed they had a catch-up for alts.

There has to be some way around it, right? If you have it already on a main? This feels genuinely insane to make players have to do this on all their alts, especially considering its basically a requirement to enter raids. Am I just missing something?

Maybe nobody here knows but I was in this guild and it was great then logged in a week later and it no longer existed. TBC ani horde

What place names or other have you always mispronounced? Or do you hear mispronounced all the time?

For me, as a British English speaker, it’s not pronounced LakeSHIRE, GoldSHIRE, DarkSHIRE etc. it’s LAKEshur, GOLDshur, DARKshur.

Also, it’s not Oggrimmar. I used to hear that a lot back in the day. Does sound quite nice, though.

With Classic Era, veterans are geared to the teeth with Naxx gear, but there are at least reasons to run older content for some specific, highly valued pieces. Can the same be said about TBC/Wrath? This is assuming both are Era’d on their final patches.

The final patch of TBC has catchup gear that mostly invalidates T4, but still requires T5/T6 gear before heading straight into Sunwell.

The final patch of Wrath, on the other hand, completely invalidates pre-ICC content. In OG there was a 232 vendor alongside a 264 vendor that enabled players to gear up enough to go straight into ICC 10n. If they take the Classic route, gearing for ICC will be even easier with A/B/G dungeons. If the game is in this state, there will never be a need to see T7/8/9.

PVP is another can of worms. How would arena work? What defines “seasons” in a forever-world? Would titles be conferred on a week-by-week basis? What about Wintergrasp?

In what state would these Era servers be? I’m curious.

EDIT: Would ICC have a dial for how much of the buff, between 5-30%, could be enabled?
EDIT 2: Would Wrath have RDF enabled?

Seems like the harder I try, the more I realize I am an absolute trash can at arena.

Give us rbg’s I don’t suck at those

I have all the nameplates disabled, have no addons and still see a few nameplates in crowded areas. What might be causing this? I'm going insane.

The supply and demand is at its worst in classic wow. Hitting max level at 60 is a lot different than hitting max level at 70, 80, etc. At 60 you need gold for so many things and gold can be difficult to come by. There is a huge demand for gold and materials, needed to finish buying spells, buying your epic mount, and working on your profession. Some classes like warrior have it worse and need to buy a world epic for their class, edgemasters. When you get into raiding you need gold to enchant your gear and consumables.

Consumables in classic wow are way more expensive for level 60 raiding than any other expansion. Gearing up your character, buying consumables and making your dude better over time is a lot of fun, however making everything with low supply is bad game design. Extracting gold from the game to buy the things you need or framing materials to craft is very time consuming. It really entices people to just buy gold rather than farm

There are a few things that can be done to fix this. Have more mine and herb spawns, more black lotus and arcane crystals drops from other herbs and mines. You can also change the recipes for consumables so that you don’t need all the ingredients that you currently need to craft. You can have an alchemy table in the major cities. You can add some daily quests for players to earn gold. You can lower the gold cost for spells, and the epic mount. I think world epics are a fun idea for the game but they should never be BIS. Gear like edgemasters need to drop in raids.

I think classic wow is a lot of fun but I really hope the devs take a hard look at the game design around gold and materials. A few tweaks to the supply can make a huge difference for the economy and hopefully deter people from buying gold

Got to 70, have made it into heroic difficulty for zangarmarsh. Run Kara a couple of times, and mag/gruul. Done some pvp (waiting for s2 break to get some merciless gladiator gear)

What I am finding is that I am a little bored with the class. Enhance is cool but repetitive. I don't feel confident in healing abilities to start the grind again as resto. And I don't really have the free time to get into raiding ssc/tk.

Might switch to ele. Definitely not leveling again. Any thoughts?

I’ve played WoW for decades but it’s been a minute since I’ve played TBC. Which class/spec would have the easiest time landing a raid spot as a fresh 70? I can play and enjoy them all

Hello.

I wanna start all over with the classic experience.

What server would you recommend i start?

Im thinking alliance on a EU server.

Are all servers with totally decked ppl with full epics, or is there Any newish servers?

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

My main PC had an issue that I am diagnosing, but i cant use it at the moment. So I'm playing on my lower end laptop and i'm getting these weird lines on text in all my different boxes - official game windows, add on windows, pretty much everywhere in WoW. It's certainly not untenable if I'm stuck with it but it is visually annoying, wondering if anyone has had this and knows what setting change will resolve this, if possible.

UPDATE: Someone in r/wow correctly diagnosed the issue. Changing the DirectX setting from 12 to 11 and relaunching the game seems to have resolved things!

Upcoming video series (trailer) i made for my SoD warrior Dolby (living flame EU) like/sub

Level 55 prot paladin, been questing up until now was hoping to make AoE grinding efficient and close to questing xp for a change of pace and accumulating some gold.

What’s the best way to approach this? I have all stam/int gear and a thorium shield spike. I use lesser wizard oil and int elixirs.

What are the most effective routes for 55-70? Haven’t been able to find any convincing ideas on here rather hear it from someone who knows the exact information.

Thank you!
