Thank you for the answer.
Hi Kaer, from here is Marthaalex. I found 2 problems on eastern kingdoms, where can I report Lordaeron only issues? Thanks for your dedication, that is what inspires me to test the things of the server until its limits (right now quests xD).
Hi boys and girls,
I wanted to ask if the first pvp season is going to be the furious one and as progressing we shall get to rele and eventually to WF?
And also, why would you disable RDF! It's so fun leveling with your friends crushing 5-man dungeons!
Anyways, im very excited about this. Good job and nice idea to do something like that!
Oh... and also for the PVE - are we starting from the 3.3.5 Icc;RS or at the start we will be at a lower patch?
Just report it on bugtracker. Developers check bugtracker daily.
RDF is first indtroduced in 3.3 patch so maybe they will enable it when ICC content is available aswell.
I already did, thank you :D just in case, you guys can vote to get this be known by devs? - https://www.warmane.com/bugtracker/report/3980
Don't you need to be able to fly to do quests in certain zones in northrend? If you don't have it you can get a temporary flying mount from a quest that is only usable in certain zones. Not sure if this is correct since my brother told me this way back in retail and I never questioned it, plus he had one of the quest mounts since he couldn't afford flying.
I still remember when Lordaeron was launched,there were no shadowmournes ,a stack of linen cloth used to cost around 1 gold,epic gems were like 150-170g and BoE weren't exceeding 6000g (leggings or ICC drops ),Lordaeron was like heaven,like a virgin land . When Cataclysm was launched ,WotLK realms were leeched of life,forcing the staff to offer the players from Ragnaros ,Frostwolf and Deathwing free transfers,with a gold limit of 10k per character,and as if wasn't bad enough,players that obtained Shadowmourne through donation kept it when they transferred to Lordaeron. When the staff decided to offer again free transfers,they made it so people could bring no gold,but unfortunately,it was too late,the economy was totally screwed.
Right now,this project looks impressive and capable of offering us all an authentic experience and the joy of playing ,even if you are not 80. However,I'm afraid that the problems I mentioned above could occur again,and if the staff react the same way,then it's sad. People of Lordaeron were given the staff's word that there would be no Shadowmourne until they make the quest chain available,but on a morning , all the players from Dalaran bunched together to look at a recently transferred player,who was wielding the legendary weapon. I do not recall this moment because of the weapon ,but because what people were promised turn into dust and I wonder if that won't happen again.
Today,I logged in on both PTR and deathwing,to test something that has been bugged for years,and that is Sylvanas position,which changes after a horde player completes the quest " Journey to Undercity ". As a result,on PTR she was there,at the right spot,probably because there is no player interested in leveling a character up to 15 to try that quest,but on Deathwing,she was missing,but I could target her using "/tar Lady " . I sincerely hope this gets solved when Lordaeron will be launched.
Regarding the measures Kaer desires to implement,I consider them good,but the RDF could be turn on,as it also consist a way of socializing .
If Lordaeron will be at least as good as it was until Cataclysm came on , without any custom things like ICC 25 HC LK custom drops,custom portals and so on,then I will be sticking with Warmane and will bring with me at least 12 friends . In my opinion,if Lordaeron will be like Kaer says,then it will be the best realm,attracting new players everyday. Remember this,throughout time,3.3.5 servers had the biggest population,however people always looked down on them and got attracted by the new expansions.Look what happened to WoD,everyone was crazy about it when it was announced,but then it was launched ,they lost 1/3 subscribers . In conclusion , no one should underestimate WotLK,as it kept this server alive for years . Give your best to fix the annoying bugs(Sylvanas,warrior's charge,rogue's damage in PvE,Eye of Eternity,ICC,Ulduar) and those epic quests like the chain that leads to Wrathgate Battle and the Siege of Undercity .
PS: Is Lordaeron going to be launched in august?

I believe it is necessary in some parts of Icecrown, but that is the only place it should be absolutely required. Stormpeaks should have temporary fly-mounts that you mention, though I forget where they are taken from specifically. I recognize this, though, and it's probably not realistic to implement no-flying to Northrend as per my suggestion, whether it be for only a couple weeks or not.
@Rares13, unfortunately, the former administration team in Kaer's absence did not care much for the health of Lordaeron. We will do our best to ensure the realm's safety this time around. Lordaeron is going to be our flagship realm. Also, no, we do not have a release date for the realm. We are still hard at work fixing things up on the realm. We are currently working backward, starting with Northrend quests (since they are a large part of the leveling process and it was the most bugged part of the experience) and working out way down to the start.
Just disabling cold weather flying would get the same end goal that you want, since iirc the temporary mounts are slow as dirt and they are only usable in certain areas, which are like the 77+ zones
#Dragonblight 99% - Does that mean Wrathgate quest chain is scripted??? Imo, the best and most important questline in wrath.
I'd piss my pants if i see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bwvCgEtStY on Warmane.
FOR LORDAERON! <3
Hey when yuo finnish fix North fix Elwynn forest. In Fargodeep mine mobs agro range is to big and gravesites hawe problem after i die and realease my soul few time was teleported to startign area.
I think I saw somewhere that they are starting with Northrend stuff. They'll probably try and get all the Northrend stuff 95%+ before moving to Outland, and then to Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms.
BEFORE YOU JUMP INTO MY WALL OF WORDS!
Ahead of you await a good three thousand words.
If you do not wish to read all of it, you can jump to the end and read a short summary.
I have read a couple of the replies to this topic, and I agree with some of them. Though I can not say if someone already posted this or not. But I'm gonna post a few suggestions, and I hope you're gonna agree with at least some of them.
Lordaeron will be a hardcore server that appeals to fans of the normal Wrath of the Lich King expansion, and it will offer something new. And a coin shop. Shame on you. Since when was hardcore about money?
I'm all exited about the hardcore and dense feeling of games. And since Wrath of the Lich King was released back in the day, I never really felt like the game was as 'hardcore' as it used to be. I've been playing the game for 10 years. I have been wandering the lands of Azeroth for a long time.
I'm an absolute fan of playing a game, being a little afraid of what's hiding out in the open world, just waiting for me to explore!
I loved the 'hardcore' (but a little basic) feeling of vanilla where fighting an elite was actually hard. You'd have to find a couple of friends, or another wanderer of Azeroth, and be able to kill the strong enemy for a great reward.
How awesome would it be to bring back those things? You have to fight for it instead of just using a dungeon finder, farming emblems.
This might not appeal to everyone, and I understand if some of you disagree. So no need to go insane, telling me I'm wrong, or it wouldn't work. These are just suggestions that would (for me) make the game a whole lot better. And yes, I do understand that this will require dedication, and hard work. But it's possible.
Read? Let's just dive right in.

SUMMARY
If you wish to comment on this, please read the whole post instead of the summary. It goes into more detail. I might have already answered your question.
CASH SHOP
Remove the cash shop. Both Coin and Point shop. Or at least remove any type of gear with stats that you can buy.
LEVELING
Make the leveling harder. Lower experience gain (0.5x-0.8x rates is my suggestion). Make the enemies stronger.
DUNGEONS
Make dungeons more rewarding. Remove the Random Dungeon Finder. Also give the bosses a good boost in both damage, health & resistance, and give them some new abilities. I personally would want to work a little harder for the gear, that I can get. Also make loot tables drop less.
QUESTS
Give us rewards. Remove the built-in quest helper. Make us spend the time it actually takes to read the quest description. Reward us with less gold, especially at max level.
TRAVELING
Traveling should be what an RPG is all about. Feeling the world. Make us feel it!
MARKET
Add a "Black Market" to the game so that we can obtain very rare items like mounts that are not otherwise obtainable, or even hard-to-get items (NO STATS PLEASE) that we can bid on. Cross faction!
EXPANSIONS/UPDATES
Please don't release Outland a month after release. Either you release it at the server release, or you wait several months. Give us time to gear up, even at level 60 and 70.
Kind Regards
Kripp

Woah, that was a long read. Anyways;
The Cash shop; I personally don't really care if there's a shop or not, especially as it doesn't sell gear. If people like voting for pets and tabards, cool. +1
The leveling; I don't agree with you on this one. I get it, this server is meant to be 'hardcore, bla bla bla', but 0,5 rates? I don't even know if there are enough quests to be able to get level cap with those rates! Also, I disagree with buffing mobs. I think this would only lead to frustration. One good side I can see is that people would group up for simple 'kill 8 x' quests. All in all, I think this is too hardcore. This is worse than vanilla. -1
The dungeons; I don't think increasing rates in dungeons would make it more 'adventure' like. People would just stand by dungeons, farm it, then go on to the next dungeon. Also, making bosses drop 72 silver instead of 5 gold will make NO difference to the economy. If your only income is from dungeons, you're doing something wrong. Lowering the loot table would also make a small difference; we have items from quests. -1
Questing; I think removing the quest tracker is a bit too much. There was a reason it was added after Vanilla, people wanted it. If it was removed on Lordaeron, I think many people would get a questing addon. Quests don't give a large amount of gold. Quests are not a big source of income. Increasing or decreasing the amount gained from quests would make a tiny difference to the economy. You realize items will be a lot cheaper anyways, right? Deahtwing and Ragnaros are extremely inflated because of the gold rates. Lordaeron will have a 1x goldrate, so everything will be wayy cheaper anyways. Looking at other 1x servers, epic gems won't be more than 500 gold. -1
Travelling; I would leave the mount system as it is. Why change it? It's fine! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Seriously tho, making it more expensive doesn't make it more hardcore, just more time-consuming. -1
The market; Great idea, I really like it. Retail has a similiar thing, the Black Market. +1
The expansions; I personally wouldn't like this, but I see the appeal. We play here because we want WotLK content. I don't want to play other expansions for 6 months first. Come on! -1
Extra content; There is already a Wartorn Chest being added, this is something close to what you describe. As for world bosses, I think it would be pretty cool too. +1
Character appearance/faction etc; Extra haircuts? Fine with me. Small difference. Changing names has already been concluded in a poll that it won't be happening. Faction change is probably also being stopped anyways. +1
All in all I think you've got a few ideas. I think your view of the server might be a bit too hardcore for the majority of people. In the end of the day, we want to have a server we can enjoy playing on. Many of your 'hardcore' ideas don't (imo) make the game more fun, just more time-consuming. The server is going to be hardcore, yes. But what you are describing, oh boy, it sounds like hell to me.
Good day, Lotros
