Title: World of Warcraft Private Server
Post by: Brad. on May 02, 2010, 10:33:45 pm
Right, this is not a definate, more of a scrawling on a paper towel in a bar sort of thing, but I had a word with Gandalf, and he said running an Argonath private server would be within the realms of possiblity.  Now, the main problem I can see, is lack of interest.  I myself, do not wish to go through a damn lot of hardship for three players to occasionally connect for a chat.   If you would be interested in this, leave a comment here.  Do not post if you think this idea is stupid.

As I have said before, this is not set in stone, this was a 20 second chat.

If not enough interest is gathered, I will scrap the idea.

Me and my brother would be putting our insta-80 up, a regular rate server, a 5x XP server and a pickup server for the odd shits and giggles moment.

WoW private servers are as fucked up as it can get. UNLESS its a ROLEPLAY Server. If its PVP with these fucking lame 10000 million dps items and lvl 85 Then fuck it. Cause those are the things that ruin the game so bad.

But, tell me, isn't SA:MP, MTA:VC, VC:MP, MTA:SA all illegal? They break GTA:SA's EULA :| Reverse Engineering...

The ToS clearly state you may not reverse engineer the software With intent of making money   Argonath wouldn't be making money running this.

No. That is why there is a compulsory downgrade to version 1.0 of GTASA.
By downgrading you are playing under the EULA of GTA:SA 1.0, which had no such clause.
It is however causing us to look at the development of IV:MP differently.

There is only one main bug, and its intentional, DK doesnt work :L  It never did, and we never looked to change that, Death Knight is useless on a private server.

Sorry for advert.....but on WoWLegacy where i play ATM, 90 % of ATLEAST AFFLICTION Lock works, and only 4 spells of DK are not working. Even the starting quests work, fully.

It is true that Blizzard's lawyers have made threats against the most famous private servers. But they did not have to pay any fine or anything if they closed the servers, and they did. And no they wont ban your account, but if youre scared then delete the character files (can't remember where they are placed)

I also spoke with Gandalf some time ago about this but I didn't really start, but got his agreement atleast.
I support this idea and would really enjoy helping!

Well, on most of private servers, the chat between Horde and Alliance exists called "LookingForGroup" chat, or LFG, but better to put the General world-wide chat instead of LFG.
Title: Re: World of Warcraft Private Server
Post by: Knoothead on May 07, 2010, 06:38:43 pm
As I've heard Argonath is against "buying" ingame stuff the server will probably be crowded as 99% of all the WOW private servers got donate for items.

An instant 80 PVP realm is a must! :)

Also, donation is bad indeed. I try to avoid those kind of servers.

What we have currently, is a cross between the two, as a full RP server could get boring very fast, yes a full pvp server would just entice constant killing.   We will be bigging up Guilds, in the hopes we can set up some "guild wars" in the future.

I think its a great idea and I would like to try and se how it will work :P

But as it is an mmorpg game then I think we should spread the playerbase much more then argonath if you know what I mean. Since it is an MMO there should have really many people playing and stuff.

If the server is stable and got good latency people will get attracted as this will be a non-donate server. That makes Argonath unique

Edit: another thing, which patch is it? Gotta prepare! :)
Title: Re: World of Warcraft Private Server
Post by: Altair_Carter on May 15, 2010, 07:11:33 am
Yeah, as i see on other servers, all people get sick of donators and donator gear, also I do get pissed. That was one of the reasons when i firstly switched onto retail.

As for patch, i suppose it'll be 3.3.3?

Also, should we make a strict RP server or simply a WoW PVE/PVP ? I think first, since WoW lacks RP in all.

And I think we will aim for PvE/PVP because tbh, rp doesnt work fantastically on WoW.

Well, if you think, IF the Argonath server gets popular ( I hope it really will, coz that's kewl ), with amount of support, do you think we could open it for a try? Coz i've been playing fantastically on a russian Evening Star RP server, but, sadly, it got closed...

I have been an GM on a private server , my rl friend was hosting the server, but it didnt went that well.

It wont be that easy to find many people at the start.

But if ever make one, i might visit it a few times, As i also got an account on Original Wow, and thinking of starting again on Cataclysm

Like Blizzard cares, they said 11 million people are active, multiple it x15 euro per month, They get more money than if we all on argonath save our salary for like 10 years..

So i dont think they will care about a private server ^^

Creating private servers WITHOUT any reason for Commerce is legal.

Only if you request money to join our server (Like monthly payment for official servers), then it's illegal.

As for other, then all add-ons for WoW are also illegal, since they put in slight modification on the game...
