Maybe this is a rant, maybe this is me just being upset, maybe this is a spurt in our bout of not depression, but just general sadness experienced with the launch of WoW classic hardcore. Currently, I am overseas for work, military life is always fun, right? My grievance is not having a reliable server in this region to play on without 200+ latency. I would imagine after this, a lot of you would stop reading or click away because your guess as to the rest of this aren't entirely wrong. For those of you who stay awhile and just listen, I thank you from my heart. Being heard is the hardest thing gamers experience today, especially with developers, but I'm thankful for you. As for the rant.... I could email blizz, I could take to the skies and scream and shout why it isn't fair that" go buy a better router "" get better internet "" wait till you get home" well I can't. I'd do anything to be home with my wife, I'd do anything to be sitting next to her playing on our nice internet while she plays Harry Potter and I make experiences that last a lifetime on a game I grew up playing. Since the launch of original WoW I have loved this game, sure we have had some time apart, but now with the launch of classic I couldn't have been happier. My life especially now becomes so routine. We all seek the nostalgia with a purpose not just something to scratch the itch, we pay the money to play, then disappear into the abyss until the next new thing comes along to bring us back to our childhood. Then... Classic hardcore. It's not just rehashed WoW, it's not just a nostalgic itch to scratch, It's a game with a purpose, a game with real consequence, Real reward, Real promise then I never know when I'd actually stop playing each time I log in. I can't explain the happiness of emotions I felt in this. I didn't care if I died I care that I tried and there is actually consequence, that yields extream rewards for all of our friends to revel in, to love and be happy within our own way. Now.... right when you have what you've sought it's taken away by something as trivial as internet, as servers, as lack of region availability to actually enjoy this. I was extremely let down, not because I die as a result of lagging sometime because I clicked agree. I'm sad because instead of listening and being heard by them, they did only what they wanted to instead of expanding this game to everyone. I want to keep playing, I want to feel the joy, the happiness, the love and the loss. But I can't, not anymore, until they bring server(s) to a region that doesn't contribute to my loss. I want to be happy again. I want to feel whole. Furthermore, I want to finally feel rewarded after a long day's work, after being a provider and caretaker that I know I'm amazing at for my family, I want to have that happy place of bliss like everyone else and not have it taken away again. Thank you to those of you who stayed and read through my rant. I apologize for how im sure i come off as im not excellent with the words. Thank you.
I will say again. In 2004 there was dial up wow. Not broad band, not nbn, not adsl 2. Dial up and i and others played hardcore on that. 600-1300 latency. Mum makes a phone call and your dead.
But as an aussie im extremely grateful to anyone who is in the service
Why did you type it this strange way. It’s very hard to read. I almost gave up.
Second question. Why not buy an EU account for playing on while away? It cannot be those extra 15 € ruining you.
I know how much the latency is a bugger, as I live in the EU and made this here guy on a free trial account in US in order to have access to the bug report forums, that only exist in the US region - you can do this the other way round as well to test the latency issues.
I’ve only seen a handful of people asking for OCE servers. I imagine this is a lose/lose situation for you. If you get an OCE server, it seems like it would be pretty lifeless. The options seem like either play on a realm with some lag, or play on a realm with no one on it.
