Westfall Dispersion - New WoW Emu [Archive]

morphem

-A new Wow Emu server similar to P1999 for its gaming philosophy.

-Classic Vanilla Wow

-Experience, quests, honor, reputation, professions are 1x Rate

-No instant gratification, no cheats, etc..

-Server just opened, only new players enjoying a fresh start.

Thats the idea. Been tested it for a bit & its the best Wow emu right now imo.

Yes, paladins are only on Alliance right now.
I just set this up figured I'd give it a go since I never played WoW and am trying to see what all the hype was about. So any pointers on classes, races, skills, zone leveling, ETC for me at this point in time?

I am giving it a go as well depending how buggy the game is. Creating a warrior i think and not sure what faction.

Depends on your play style to give pointers!

I could give you all sorts of pointers if it is really a classic server. I'm not sure if they wrote their code or can somehow use blizzard's, etc.

Originally I had a 60 druid on Burning Legion pvp for retail. The last time I tried wow was the emerald dream [vanilla] emu circa.. 2012? Some things were different from what I was expecting, and ultimately why I was asking how close to live classic this would be.

I read on the forums there that they plan to release it like a progression server.

Couple of factors around this, they will only if their population would support it and if there are enough players with ALL their end game gear causing a stagnation in the vanilla setting.

There may be more but I haven't had the time to check 100%, this is what I have read so far though.

Props on the factions. My hunter was exalted on all 3 pre-bc as well. Got to General on my hunter, Cobd.

I don't remember much about Alliance guilds but I remember Ropetown being the best Horde guild before they transfered off

murrpau

07-26-2014, 01:11 AM

Yeah. I think one of the bigger servers only has about 450 population now.
I haven't personally seen Westfall-Dispersion above 50, but the GMs and devs I spoke to said it had a capacity of up to 4000!
Some really funny bugs are happening. I've never played a WoW emu before (I tried but kept getting errors), so maybe these are normal, or maybe they're unique... but mainly I learned that a warrior should refrain from using charge in a cave, like Skull Rock. The first time it went wrong, I became the first orc astronaut. The second time, I actually ran out of the cave and did a large buttonhook (took 12 seconds at charge speed) until I stood over the spot where the guy in the cave would be directly below me.
5-boxing it has been fun, but I'm a little worried because the rules say "no multiboxing in pvp" and it's a pvp server. I guess I'll just have to stand there and take it if someone tries to attack me when I'm out in the open world doing my thing.
I always liked WoW, but always hated the people. It's nice to only have to deal with a small handful of other players.

Thought the 2 classes are very different. I went the same road too, from WE Druid to NE Druid, but gave up quickly, never even made it to lev 20 - the gameplay felt tedious. But had fun playing Warlock, Mage, Paladin and Hunter.

For me I can't/won't put hours or days of time into leveling on a server with 50 pop, that's just dull.

Battleground PvP probably patchy as hell even at 60.

Day 3ish: Rerolled my warrior to a bear tank. Got to 20 with help from priest in another window(as mob tagging stands in this version of vanilla, as long as you get the first hit in, you get full XP no matter how it dies... even to a guard)
1) Finished RFC, finally. It only took like 2 hours to get all the quests done, because I had to drink after every single fight.
2) Got RFC done a 2nd time and it only took 35 minutes, but there was one less wing I was going down. Have a level 18 tank made it pretty trivial, even though you have to be 13 to get in the door on this build.
I'm in a guild now. They're called <Edge>. Careful not to cut yourself on all of our edges. Edgy.
3) If you die in RFC, your ghost spawns inside RFC and you can accept a rez after 30 seconds. Idiots keep forgetting that /who and /tell are cross-faction here, and keep asking me to come to Deadmines. I shift-click their names and they're dorfs and night elves and crap.
4) Decided to strut into Westfall and pull a train into Deadmines. Mobs don't always reset on this server when you pull trains. Awkward rezzes.
5) Took more than an hour just to get to the big forge room! Why? Every single fight, no exceptions, ended with the fucking human defias scumbag fleeing into the roof or floor. So I had to wait 30 seconds for them to wander back to face their inevitable death. Typical weak-ass alliance race. Cowards. Bubblehearthers, all of you. And Nilbog was a donkey-eared mailbox poledancer.
6) I mad

How classic?

i.e. will hurricane be the bottom of the talent tree for a druid?
is mauradon in from launch?

I guess to ask it simply, are they following a timeline approach like we try to do, or just combining everything pre or post BC?

More importantly, how buggy is it? Do quests work? Instances? Escorts? Emerald Dream was a lot of fun, but there are still some glitches here and there.

Lastly, how is the population? I think I read someone say they hadn't seen it gone above 50, which is really hard to swallow considering boxing is allowed. That means more like 25 people. As many problems as there are with ED, the high population makes it worth it. I'm still playing over there from time to time, have a 39 Tauren Druid that I've been playing around in 30's pvp with.

Someone make a project2004.

I think the original Alterac Valley implementation was good. If anything, more people showed up north of the mill area.

I think what really killed it for me was multi-server queues. You'd end up with 5 people naked fishing that weren't even from your server. At least the original wsg/av forced travel to the area to join queue, and play with players from your server.

Forgot how much more of a grind it was to level up in vanilla. They really made WoW such a kiddie game as it stands currently.

Wow catches a lot of flack especially on thius server, but it's actually pretty challenging, old style.

Hmm, interesting read this thread.

I've just been searching for a new private wow server and there were plenty of "vanilla, TBC, etc servers on the lists, but the figures show they are emptying fast. It isn't uncommon fo there to be less than a handful of people on.

IME, all wow emu have bugs, but launching oneself as an austronaut is a new one. The worst I've encountered are small jumps that have you falling through the the skin into a void and finally death. Line of sight problems are really anoying on most of them.

I'm boring and usually roll a dwarf hunter as first toon. I really loved the skilling up of every skill and the real training of your pet. I didn't mind the grinding then, but X servers later and I don't know that I coud do it again considering the continual disappearance of private wow-servers. Sorry, I don't want to hex you but has been a continual experience for me.

I'll pass on your server as it is 300ms+ delay for me and that was what killed me on blizz and private servers, especially in pvp.

Good luck with it.

So I'm trying to get this downloaded right now. Not sure how long it will take, the torrent seems to be slow as heck. Have any of you actually stuck with this server? Has it gotten more stable and less buggy? Has the population increased or decreased since August?

I played until 2 weeks ago. Population was around 100 steadily. It's hard to tell, because /who is capped at something like 49 players in response, so you have to break it down like who 1-10, who 11-20, etc, and add them up.

More stable? Yes. Less buggy? Yes. They were fixing bugs every weekend, but now I don't know because a week or two would go by when they were like "We fixed stuff" and wouldn't be more specific than that.

I only stopped playing because I got involved with Project Gorgon and that is one hell of a time sink for an incomplete alpha with 4 zones/10 dungeons.
