I have my scientific calculator ready to go to calculate stats. This is the most exciting thing that’s happened for me in games in a really long time. Back to thinking instead of just mashing buttons - yes!!! :-):smiley:

Is this release of classic going to stop at only the first game release or will it expand and carry on to BC and Wotlc? I kinda hope it will carry through again eventually as you can only do MC so many times before folks will start to call it a day. Other than that yep im in and looking forward to going back to the foot slogging for 40 levels lol

I always thought it would be cool as hell to play with some Aussies or Kiwis 
 but can you imagine the lag on those servers from North America? :frowning: Same with the Brazzies. I imagine most of them speak English, and it probably wouldn’t hurt to brush up on my Portuguese :slight_smile: Or a Finnish server? Donno why I have such a warm spot in my heart for Finns. Must be thoughts of the Winter War and what a bunch of tough hard-headed bastards they were :slight_smile:

That’s what I’d expected 
 until I joined my first “family-oriented” guild and this 13-year-older (shocked at my unbelievably elderly age) decided to adopt me as his grandfather (or maybe great-grandfather). Godz 
 had to quit the guild, couldn’t get away from the kid without hurting everyone’s feelings.

Well, maybe not THAT rare. But you’re right: being a hunter was a lot of work, took a lot of time and effort, and maintaining that pet was a big part of it. I’d forgotten about needing to skill up the pet by taming other pets: that’s why I was thinking I could only have two hunter pets; the third slot was saved for taming training pets :frowning: Well, I still loved them; almost made up for the total PITA cooking (mainly fire starting) was. And fishing when junk didn’t count toward skilling up.

nope. august 13th they will bring up the launch servers so you can reserve 3 character names. but nothing saves from testing.

But they said you can get to level 15.

in the stress test you can only get to level 15. its only a 2 day test so that’s not unreasonable. after the test they will wipe and we reserve names on whatever realms on the 13th (if desired) and then we can log into the actual world on the 27th

So will the characters we make during this pre test carry over to live?

I doubt it. The server names might be the same, but they already announce the 12th as the reservation creation. I bet they wipe the server after their 24 hour test is complete.

why even bother login to comment stuff like this? you sir misunderstood the bluepost.

No.

Inb4 someone else types without reading first.

11am and 1pm PDT.

And it’s timed so that Europe is able to actually appear in force.

August 12th @10pm PT (time assumed, date correct)

About 200ms. Better than we had back in the day when everyone in Australia had to roll on US servers, and we were playing with 300-350ms.

No bet. It’s guaranteed.

So can’t wait!
