    It's also Gamigo behind this (with Trion as the fall guy). Remember that. Gamigo.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    The same thing you did in Vanilla? Given that the whole premise of Classic is that people liked Classic more than the evolution of it, then you'd try to stick closer to the gameplay. Each side ends up WTFpwning the big bads on their own. Every time. So, meh. Or you can go further, and embrace...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Don't remember if I ever posted it, but the way I'd have done is that Classic 2.0 would be "The Shores of Northrend". You keep everything Vanilla-styled: you keep skill trees (just add dual spec switches), you keep skills, you retain +% stats rather than shit "ratings", etc, etc. The whole...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Frankly? No. The most obvious idea you can get once you have "You think you do but you don't" mindset is that you won't touch ANYTHING for fear of breaking the gold-painted egg. So you will have the hinted at Classic Trilogy™ of Vanilla, TBC, WotLK exactly as they were released, not one feature...

    Depending on how it's implemented, those might be separate items. That is, you get BFA flagged and awarded a 110 boost, which means those with BFA already in would get just the 110.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I think their stats probably show a staggering number of people who didn't resub for BFA and just came back for Classic. "No. Try it. We're sure you'll love our lobby game with random +gooderer rewards and 15 currencies to collect!"

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    It's just that it is not an automatic system. They decide how many layers there are. And they decided they wouldn't allow more layers than X (for whatever X they picked) because if they do, thet will not be able to drop to a single layer ever since the population of the server will remain "too...

    RR estimate it at 2760 paperback pages at the moment. It's supposed to be 3 books overall, but that'd be english-style (the english don't bat an eye when they print 1200-pages doorstops).

    If that's 150-200k, then yes, they're down to 1 million subs. The rule of thumb that's always been true in MMO land is 1 prime-time player per 5 total players, except during DLC/expansion launches.

    It's one of the handful of webnovels I've seen that has even tutorials to convert to epub. I assume that, once the last few chapters (we're in straight in the endgame, there's probably two to five chapters left?) it is going to hit Amazon. Because it's in the top 5% (or higher) of webnovels...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    At the moment, the only allusion they've made is that they intend Classic to become The Classic Trilogy (aka Vanilla+BC+LK), which appears to be their cut-off point (of course, since you get Cata next). So I'm expecting you to have exactly BC and exactly LK. Including the 2 difficulty levels...

    Stumbled upon the shining diamond gem of webnovels: Mother of Learning. (or, in the entirety, "Repetition is the Mother of Learning") It is, basically, Groundhog Day meets High Sorcery Fantasy. The premise is simple: following an incident (involving a vexed Lich necromancer trying to shred a...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    One word: Currencies. A currency in your game turns the game into a grind. You can get away with some currencies, like... XP... or gold... because those currencies are earned literally everywhere while playing the game the way you want. But if you have only specific locations for a currency...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    The solo game need to provide some form of advancement. Typically, a solo player would get crafting components, decent but not too good XP, and mediocre gear. Eventually, you need to improve your character by going outside of solo from time to time, or your level/hour ratio goes down faster than...
