I guess I'll be the one to say it

I think the guy in the receiving end needs to have the scripts for this to work...

Otherwise this would be a great scam. "Will pay 10g for opening lockbox!" Or will it just cancel the trade?

Anyway since the starter zones are flooded and there isn't anything other to do, as a under lvl 10 character I already made "legitimate" 5g in 45 mins when I made the decision by farming unguarded chests (counting all the corpse run traveling to the places), If you still have your gatherer data from other servers, Nos seems to have the nodes at the same locations. I won't be sharing the spots time being. :tongue:
 
So far i experienced 2 disconnects, but chero stated, it was already fixed. There is about 200+- people on each faction, so about 400 total.
 
Beta is going very well. There have been a few rollbacks...but no random mass disconnects. 500-600 people currently online, which is to be expected.

I leveled a character from 1-6 atm in the orc starting area. Everything is working perfectly. Nothing is bugged, that I can see, in terms of mob behaviour, spells, quests, item locations.

I haven't leveled far enough on Nos, but I have encountered a few more bugs on Nos then I have on Kronos (leveling 1-6) so far.
 
I've been playing a pally there and it seems they recovered the server stability quite quickly. Some insights:

1 The playerload of ~4k-5k seems about right.
2 Hogger Gnolls cannot swim? (maybe they shouldn't)
3 Dun Morogh starting area first quest is bugged, it just disappears when taken and not completed and cannot be retaken. - new character solves this
4 Some low level mobs, for example elwynn wood defias/wolves can drop high level loot ~18 lvl req or more.

I have just been banned after deleting a char, then recreating one with the same nickname?! Will try again in some minutes
 
Nos is struggeling with bugs it seems.

Taken from their forums:

"There is a long list of bugs on this half a$$ed server. I was so hyped about this server and thought it was going to be better than Kronos based on the videos. I was totally wrong.

Looks like they try to impress you with videos before the release but nothing is actually fixed. Somebody even said that you would have to go searching for a bugged quest. I can overlook 1 or 2 bugged quests but the class I was playing,shaman, had the rockbiter bug which worked like flametongue and that is not acceptable for release.

Before you say I'm spewing nonsense, please go look at other servers, its all the same. This is not a quality vanilla wow server. All hype no credibility.

Kronos is way better, even the lazy peons quest works."

"indeed..
also hunter class quest, missing questionmarks above many npc where u able to turn a quest, RFC TOTALY BROKEN!!!!, air bubbles in sea doesnt refresh breath... this gonna be another bad pserver experience"

"try rfc ... so heavy bugs not even on feenix"

"The lazy peons quest in orc starting area isn't scripted at all. When i tried to do the lvl 10 warrior quest in brill, there were several ulag the cleavers spawned, making it impossible to solo.
Some other non-quest things i found: The guards in UC don't give directions. This actually works on pretty much all other private servers. The event in UC where undead NPCs fight captive ghouls is kinda scripted, but the captive ghouls aggro players. When i tried fishing and got the "your fish got away", my character got stuck in fishing animation. It didn't stop even if i moved or switched weapon.
I suppose that all the generic kill/collect quests work but the ones that actually require scripting dont'"
 
They even deleted my posts.
Gloom weed quest is broken, can't loot after 2/3 items.
Guards greet you with "Greeting, *name*" like quest object on feenix. And you can't ask for directions at all. meh
 
If someone need people for testing I'm Norjin - Troll Warrior in the server. I'm happy to help.
 
Just seen a post that got deleted within 1 minute of me viewing it on Nost fourms, that a scarlet bodyguard level 8 would be able to be skinned and when skinned, it dropped Blue Dragon scales. I assume they took it down so no one found out and fixed, but I tested on Kronos. All good, nothing wrong with the body guards.
 
I guess the devs are playing favorites already. Made a guild change there name because someone else wanted it... Team plague inc.

I don´t see a problem with that ... if someone steals a name of an already existing guild that had an active forum topic and just blocks it with his characters.
 
But Wiranri, then everyone on the fourms basically should have their names on reserve? They claimed blizzlike which they have held true. But it should be a Free for all. You're putting it at risk by publicizing it.
 
Didnt know you could call guild names.. I dont know if the had an open thread for that guild or not. Just seems wrong imo
 
I dont know...but with some cool Dude's just test Scholoance...(almost all run...no time for last boss).From what i see....have some rearlly little think to fix and all gonna be ok.We try ot Kronos...no on nostrashity.
Tomorrow think to make more test.And please...If/When u see bug--->report it.As u see i have a little low/bad neglish...but still trying to make report's...and help :smile:

Well ... why not? But if I see an asshole taking a name of a guild that had a guild topic here for a long time, their members participated in open beta, etc. I don´t see a problem with forced rename. If the new guild seems to be just several characters, without inviting anyone else, just to block the name. Then rename. If it is a legitimate guild, then they have a right to keep that name.

It all comes down to the situation in which it happened/will happen. Luckily for you I have no right to do something about it on Kronos and my opinion on this matter is just from an outsiders perspective :)

So it might as well be "first come, first serve" on Kronos. Just ask in the AMA for a valid response.


P.S. - I should get my colour and status removed for this forum, it just confuses people. Here I´m just an ordinary player.
 
I just feel with their claims of blizzlike that it shouldn't be allowed. Why aren't names reserved aswell then? I don't understand but that's Nost not Kronos.
 
Update/anger outburst from Nostalrius:

I went to train a skill at the class trainer. Paid the silver but didn't actually receive the spell in my spellbook.
Way2go.

2 players who were slack leveling took the guild tag within 40minutes ahead of an entire guild who claims to be hardcore. The guild is now the biggest leveling guild on Nosta with over 200 members (100+ active at all times). When the forced name change occured I was spam whispered for 1½ hours straight with several players expressing disgust towards it (name force change). We continued to stream the GM conversation afterwards and it's probably going to be uploaded to twitch at www.twitch.com/plaskone (highlights). It is an extremely good test situation for how that specific staff will handle issues in the future, and actually their first real "community" test. References was made to the terms of use yet nothing was matched and the admins was making up policies on the go, was told from the start by several DS members what was going to occur as atleast one of the GM team is a part of the original guild. I'm not going to go into all the quit whispers due to trust issues I've had during the last 6 hours.

Bugs: Escort quests cant be completed, phasing occuring in pvp (enemy starts running in one direction, teleports into the other location), multilooting of quest items is occuring, multilooting of chests, rogue class is something I'd classify to 95% complete so far but with CBs being bugged to shit (you sneeze and you lose em all). The staff is however fast at patching in fixes and stuff, and it is by far the best vanilla server released out there so far (community wise, to some extent scriptwise but not much competition atm).


I would recommend checking out the starting areas etc, hopefully Kronos will have a likewise big release population - but it is still not something that occurs everyday in the community we play within.
Best of regards
Soyoen et al.

that is nice that you keep us updated about another server
shows how you DO care about their success (yes having 4600 pop is success, whether you admit it or no)
 
I know one Cataclysm server that had 1000 pop when it launched and a year later, they have 50-70 players in the peak times.

So yes, keeping the population is what it´s all about.
 
Both Nos and Kronos are hyped to hell and back. Of course people were going to see what the fuss is all about. Then they'll make their own opinion as to whether or not the quality is sufficient or they'd rather wait a month for Kronos.

Personally I tested Nos and I'd rather wait. I'm sure I'm not the only one so I'm confident we'll get good pop on launch with people that appreciate quality staying in... And I'd rather have this kind of people over!
