What about 'em?
Kaghuros Wrote:My apologies if this has been asked earlier, but have you decided on the leveling system as of yet? I'm wondering about the nuts-and-bolts. What does a Grunt's character get when he/she decides to get it leveled to 80? Is it at all different from what we have now (Changes in money/tokens/requirements/something else I might want to know)?
As well, what're the latest on dos/don'ts for server stability? Are there certain things that we might try to avoid that won't be fixed by the time the server comes back?
We're working out all of those right now. Leveling
seems to work just fine, but custom items (Like the Farseer's Ring, Silver Tokens, and Chunk of Gold) were erased when the accounts were, and the database needs a LOT of cleaning up (as far as I understand). The actual leveling system (get vouched, get your profile approved, get leveled/silver tokens/treats) ain't broke, so it's likely that we aren't fixing it.
The latest do's/don'ts, as of right now, because you asked for it... *deep breath*
DO:
-Have a map handy. Currently all signs (and a lot of other game objects) point the same direction, making navigation a little difficult in unfamiliar areas.
-Love the 'do you have. Barbershops do not currently work.
-Take a walk. Most of the transportation systems are completely broken right now.
DON'T:
-Take a flight. At least in Northrend. Talking to a LOT of the flight masters causes the server to crash.
-Ignore monsters. Even if they ignore you. We're having problems with a lot of Northrend mobs behaving as if they can't quite see you. They'll make the attacking noises, but do not follow or actually attack.
-Count on getting a motorbike. Or a mammoth. Or the nifty new minipets. The items for these are supposed to teach you a spell to summon the item and consume the item. Half of that works, and it's the expensive half.
-Die. Sounds simple, but Northrend graveyards don't work at all as of this post. It makes dying... highly inconvenient.
