>wargate that server is such unbelievable trash compared to warmane
Joshua Diaz
wotlk is great and alive
Nicholas Sanchez
>and just like that, after 5 years of hype and promise, gummy's server, website, and any evidence of his existence are wiped, just as quickly as he came...
Daniel Bailey
Lolten was alwasys shit
Gavin Wood
I don't even know if I would want to start, but there's literally no other alternative. I put so much hype in my mind for gumcraft.
Luis Cruz
Northcraft will save us.
Ryder Lee
forgot to mention. im looking to play TBC
Nathan Cook
0-4 wait for the next private server 5-9 kms
Elijah Stewart
i don't feel like starting on an existing server bruhs
wanted to be there from the beginning
Asher Thomas
Is there even a remotely competent TBC server on the horizon?
Robert Ortiz
>uni server blocks all vidya ports At least I can read about this
Luke Barnes
ascension's medium-core server opened literally today user
Luke Bailey
>muh fresh fotm server
Sebastian Morris
the hardcore relam opened today, mediumcore has been out for a week
Easton Reed
how long has warmane's 1x non p2w server been open?
Camden Campbell
about a month
Hudson Cook
that's not bad at all, not long enough to feel too far behind. how's the scripting/content overall? i may start on it i guess.
Carter Hill
Raid content is fine, 5man content tuning is lacklustre. Itemisation is 2.4 tho which makes t4/t5 easier.
Cooper Fisher
fuck the scripting theres no fuckin players and shat is a ghost town
Gavin Gray
Yeah, I'm there right now. There is 1 guild who can scrap together a decent 25man
Dylan Phillips
what the fuck, RIP.
Aiden Walker
>MUH 1X >MUH BLIZZLIKE it's literally a private server it will never be anything close to blizzlike you're using 2.4.3 talnets even
Hunter Rogers
i mean i dont honestly mind playing low pop if there were more gummy sadboys coming to play but good fuckin luck
why not just play on 5x while we wait for what happens with gummy code
Evan Sanchez
how is the x5 pay2win?
Hudson Morris
just fuck off to your funserver then faggot
Jordan Allen
It has a cash shop.
Connor Roberts
do they straight up sell armor/weps?
Tyler Roberts
yea but whats in it like why would you play 1x no p2w over 5x and just let the buyfags have whatever dumb shit they buy
Elijah Rogers
>2.4.3 talents >2.0 weapons >not a funserver l m a o
Hunter Carter
so the choices are dead 1x server or p2w 5x server
>when you realize waiting for a private server is always a bad idea just play what's available, they're 90% the same every time
Luke Martinez
Are there any decent NA 1x pservers? Doesn't matter what expansion
Levi Hill
felmyst
Samuel Scott
7 people voted on the strawpoll thats enough to start a guild lets go
Matthew Hill
migrate lads
Oliver Miller
>stock sunwell server nah i don't want to run naxx 25 and then wait years for ulduar to never come out
Ayden Perry
Yeah, but if you want to play x1 you are fucked.
Joshua Powell
So any x1 TBC servers? All you fags keep going on about how great the game was but you keep skipping the levelling...
It's not like you go back for the shitty 2 ability raids...

I began this project roughly four years ago and last year when Blizzard began taking action more seriously it weighed heavily on me as not only was I already heavily invested into the work but others around me were as well. Because of my health situation I wasn't in a position to cut losses and start over on something different, at least not something that would take four years to make. Last year's news of what Blizzard was doing came at the absolute worst time for me, frankly, with so many years already invested. To explain what may appear as an odd series of decisions it seems worthwhile to disclose my condition, muscular dystrophy, which only one other person in the online sphere knew of until now.
Of course, that is why I'm not able to pick up and move to another country as an alternative means to host the server since I'm not really able to live on my own. That is also the reason I've been able to work mostly full time on this project as I'm unemployed, though I have sacrificed much of my well being dedicating everything I have to this. Why am I disclosing this? I'm not really sure, but I feel compelled to.
So the question instead becomes: why host it yourself? The problem with that is our popularity snowballed way too fast once the release date was set.
Before the release date was declared, most people expected the server to flounder with a small population, the irony of which quickly became a meme. Therefore, months ago I saw no reason to hand all of our work over to someone I didn't know when the project had a reasonable chance to stay small enough to avoid the need. Though I have no problem contributing to honest developers, the market to wrongfully profit from this stuff is much too lucrative to hand it out on a whim. Had we time to smooth out the release, this certainly would have been something to explore. The warning signs to expect notice from Blizzard were there but receiving it that quickly was something I don't think many expected.

So why did I make this project? I love the game and community, especially the community. The old game was a great way to meet people and see new faces. It makes me happy, and programming makes me happy. Of course, I am sad that things didn't turn out the way I'd hoped but I don't think I'd change any of the decisions I made. I gambled that we could cap the servers at 3k and enjoy a close community. Sadly, I did not win that gamble, though on some level it was nice to see so many people eager to enjoy something I worked on. This project gave the last four years of my life a sense of purpose that I thoroughly enjoyed.
So why not tell people of that plan ahead of time to stifle hype? The problem with private servers is that there is no middle ground. If people expect a server to "only" have 3000 (real) players then they just won't play and you'll instead end up with 300, which isn't playable.
A lot of people are of course asking for the source code. Although it may not be in my best interest to distribute the whole thing in its entirety at this point, I'll see what I can manage that would be beneficial to other programmers who are still learning.
