Onyxia: the realm of legends! Experience Vanilla, TBC and WotLK in one realm!

[Dovahzul]

This is awesome! I'm glad we'll get 3x xp as 5x felt like too much (especially for vanilla). Although it's too bad about 40man raids being 25man now. Anyway, can't wait for Nov 18!

Lordaeron started with an a level cap of 60 but used the LK talent trees from day 1. It also had JC, Belfs, DKs, and Inscription. Really just a LK server capped at 60 for the first 6 months so people could do the vanilla raid content before the cap was lifted. It didn't have the RDF enabled though. They kept the RDF disabled for the first 3 years. It wasn't enabled until long after all raid content had been defeated and the population was declining rapidly. The population came back after that and they had a legendary holiday event - the famous EOF farm where these invaders were attacking random zones. They would spawn at 5-6 places in the zones. always 1 boss and 5 adds, and the boss had a 50% drop rate for EOFs. And if he dropped it, everyone in the raid got one, so we were doing it in 40 man raid groups. They also dropped a zergling pet, frost orbs and random lvl 200 gear. Good times. Good times.

Its amazing

Soperb. 8 months for all the vanilla content looks a bit too short though. But maybe 25man raids and no rank decay will mean faster gearing up.

that sounds really cool, the kind of world content wotlk lacks

It really was, everyone got their hands on t10 for ms and os for a lot of their characters in just a few days.
For the next 2 years the community asked for a repeat of this very event.

All the people who complained we didn't make another Frostmourne season, wished this new project failed so we'd go back to Frostmourne, are joining Onyxia as a replacement for Frostmourne or simply treating this as a new, extended Frostmourne, are all trolls in your illusion, I suppose.

Try again, this wasn't any more amusing than the previous one.

I mean, they are joining because it's fresh. You just don't know what percentage of the players will stop playing 2-3 months after the release. And judging by the length of the expansion (less than a month), it's expected to drop significantly.

It's good that Warmane is experimenting with new stuff, but it just feels like Onyxia will share the same fate as your TBC realm.

[Nyahrlathotep]

Even if it will, the characters will be transferred, so idc.

[fabiopessoa17]

When all the progression is done this will be a persistent realm or chars will be transfered to ICC?

You are adding Dungeon Finder, does it mean that Finishing a Random dungeon Queue will award players bonus gold, XP and maybe even item in the bag?

[Wolfgaroth]

And another PvP realm because no we can't have single PvE or choice realm where we could just enjoy the PvE progression. Would it really be so hard to solve it the same way Blizzard did and make it PvE realm with xp bonus if you're PvP flagged? That way people who don't mind PvP would still be motivated to remain PvP flagged but those who would rather take the xp gain hit to play in peace could? Forcing people into PvP is just bad game design. Even Blizzard figured it out years ago, why can't Warmane?

[Radivojee]

3x rate its ok if have time , no job no life.
No play every day , maybe every second day on 4-5h.
I hope it will be enough , it would be stupid when i get 60lvl and go on dungeons to up gear then it comes new patch.
I hope that everything will be fine and most importantly that there will be a lot of people and allow multiboxing on this realm >)

instead of items they had potions on beta.

[Morigesh]

Any idea on release time? is it midnight GMT?

There's already dungeon finder which will allow you to get to 60 without ever stepping into contested areas.
