Very small server with no hopes of opening the AQ gates with hand ins; what is the expected auto complete rate on our accelerated Anniversary servers?
We are just trying to make it to TBC so we can play with all of our friends on localized ping on a less resource intensive version of the game (far less consumes and no world buffs make it much more viable to play competitively which is what my guild likes to do).
If we can find out what the rest of classic looks like before prepatch, it will give us a way to keep the server morale and activity alive and not just dwindle and die out while the gates auto open slowly and people raid log into eternity.
I understand this is one of a few threads on the same topic but all the previous ones are just full of replies from trolls telling us we deserve our fate. Here are some quick answers to your likely questions or responses;
Playing on NA ping is not possible for us as we are trying to speedrun.
I don’t speak for all players on oce, I’m just asking a question I’d like to know the answer to and I think it’s worthy of GM/customer service attention.
I’m not asking for a change, just some clarity so we can plan accordingly.
No, Maladath definitely cannot do the war effort, some guilds tried to get cooperation on the server discord and it’s just not going to happen.
Just to touch on this…GMs and CS are not involved in any way with the development of the game. A GM is not going to be able to tell you if there will be changes in the future nor would anyone from CS.
All you can do really is provide constructive feedback (as you have) and wait and see if the developers make or announce any changes.
This whole Maladath “woe is me” thing is getting old. You have what was considered to be a very healthy server population for Vanilla and they had no trouble opening the gates back then.
this honestly you guys are LUCKY to have maladath. if I was within reasonable ping range I would have rolled there and have been very happy with the smaller community.
680 logged horde, so each horde member would be responsible for the following:
15 Lean Wolf Steak
25 Spotted Yellowtail
15 Baked Salmon
368 Wool Bandage
368 Mageweave Bandage
588 Runecloth Bandage
141 Peacebloom
28 Firebloom
38 Purple Lotus
132 Copper Bar
32 Tin Bar
26 Mithril Bar
88 Heavy Leather
118 Thick Leather
88 Rugged Leather
Am i crazy or does that feel insanely doable… no?
i get that not everyone can have all these professions but like… you can make a level 1 human and have all that copper and peacebloom in just a few hours.
You are never going to get every single player who plays a game (not just wow) to agree to do the exact same thing.
Not to mention a lot of our 1500 raiders are actually the same people on multiple alts. Our guild alone is responsible for over 100 of those logged characters and we are actually only about 50 people.
To answer your question, you aren’t crazy, I am, because I’m replying to your ragebait
Yet here we are in 2025, playing the 2004-2006 video game we asked for. You can do this, I believe in you. Go forth and…
Do the quests!
If you want the gates open, pick up the slack. Nobody is going to do this for you. If you want the gates open, get on it.
I can’t speak for Death but I’m genuinely not trolling you guys. You have what looks to me like the absolute best server in Anniversary. Instead of embracing that, you’re complaining that you can’t do something before you’ve even tried in spite of the fact that many OG Vanilla servers did the very same thing with far less.
Don’t get down on yourselves, you’ve got this!
I live in the real world where this isn’t going to happen. Arugal had a delayed opening in 2019 classic compared to more populated servers. Maladath is much smaller and filled with people who have played classic at least once over and have experienced the event.
If Blizz doesn’t address this then the server will die. We’re already experiencing a drought when it comes to world buff drops likely due to the lack of GDKPs lowering the incentive to level alts.
honestly you guys are LUCKY to have maladath. if I was within reasonable ping range I would have rolled there and have been very happy with the smaller community.
