>>750330649yea and for botting or using multiple accounts at the same time
>>750330585I read that you don’t need to change the realmlist to connect to the server. Instead, you have to download some fucking launcher to connect, and it doesn’t even support 32-bit systems. Well, go fuck yourselves, then.
>>750330813yeah try using this client https://www.dkpminus.com/blog/wow-wotlk-3-3-5a-download-wrath-of-the-lich-king-client/it's 16gb after that you can patch the game with the epoch launcher, it's really easy
BLIZZARD, DO SOMETHING[email protected]
>>750330585just play spp with bots, it's easy to setup and you don't have to put up with cl*ssic players
>>750330893It’s not about the client; it’s about the launcher required to connect.
they're saying it's the most vibe-coded looking website on the internet
>ANOTHER fucking world of trannycraft generalif the jannies won't do anything about it can we just rename /v/ into /wow/?
>>750330961i don't get your complain sorry
>>750331065>i don't get your complain sorryThat launcher doesn’t even support 32-bit systems. LOL
>>750331096who the fuck is still using 32bit systems in 2026 bruh
>>750331096ohh i get it, i see
>>750330585Why would I play this when forever comes out in two weeks?
>>750331127Me
Let's see the player count.Forever's release is soon, surely they have the numbers to withstand the blow of its release, right?
don't care.still playing wow:forever
>>750331229500 to 600 players
>>750331129Why can’t I just edit the realmlist like on any other private server? What the hell is this launcher even for? I might have given it a try, but with requirements like these - screw that
>>750331320NTA, but it has custom patches & content
>>750331320go to realmlist.wtf then open it with notepad and edit it
>>750331267Grim.
>>750330649>You get banned for saying niggersomeone said nigger in world chat and only got a 20 minute mute

>>750330585epoch is fucking dogshit, come to octo
i was in the original epoch before the cuck retards who ran it abandoned it the second they had any push back from blizz.not sure i want to do it again.
>>750330961it's not required to connect, just to patch/update the client. afterwards you can run wow.exe and don't need it.you can DL the client from >>750331539 if you're paranoid, you'll never see the launcher.
>>750331541No.>>750331571None of those are related to the current Epoch, not even the guys from ascension.
>>750330585buy an ad
>>750331541>1.12lmfao
>>750331401>500 to 600 playersI think you mean kino
>>750331632They need more people buying tiger mounts to afford the ads
>>750330585it's 2026, even all the thirdies bit the bullet and play on official classic nowoutside of bots, I shudder to think at the kind of human who plays this
>>750331606is anyone still maintaining the page for epoch-compatible add-ons?
>>750331761Epoch bans bots, every player is 100% human >>750331783I believe so yea, check this link out for current epoch add onshttps://project-epoch.org/forums/?topic=101
>>750331761its the exact reverse on retail though? real humans play on private servers and bots play on official (to sell gold)
>>750331837>Epoch bans botsI mean that's the policy of anyone running mmo servers>every player is 100% humanOh you're just a lying faggot. I'd believe you if you said something like 95%
>>750331732There's no cash shop yet, doomer-kun
>>750331154>Why would I play this when I could be a good goycattle to Blizzard?
>>750331941>Oh you're just a lying faggot. I'd believe you if you said something like 95%Not a lie, seriously.
Is China/Russia rangebanned?
>>750331941>>I mean that's the policy of anyone running mmo serversexcept for blizzard
>>750332075Not Russia, but the server is English speaking only
>>750332096I said policy, I didn't say successfully following their policy
this server wont exist in a year bro your data will be gone
>>750332096hey now, think about how the shareholders would feel if they banned every single bot
Where is the server located? I always nope outta these private servers because the ping is like 250-300+ ms which is unplayable unless you live in bumfuck Australia.
>>750331995You didn't answer my question.
>>750332075That's their main source of income though. Especially the chinese.>>750332115>the server is English speaking onlyEnforced or "we encourage you to speak english" ? Also is it cross-faction gameplay like parties and guilds?
>>750332198>Enforced or "we encourage you to speak english" ? Also is it cross-faction gameplay like parties and guilds?Enforced, you get banned if not, and it's 100% crossfaction.
>>750330585Are the characters from the last Epoch still there?I would return if you saved my toons...
>>750330585>fresh>500 playersLMAOocto still had a daily peak of 2.5k 4 months in and when they had been getting ddosed every day for weeks
>>750332115Good. Might have a look.
>>750332269No, it's a complete fresh server that started 2 days ago.
>>750330585does it have any new regions like turtle had? can you post some screenshots of the map?
>>750332287Welcome, let me know if you have any issues installing
>>750332526it has plenty of customized content including mapshttps://project-epoch.org/features/
>site blocked by malwarebytes
I'm just playing retrowow with my friend.
>>750332756Odd
>>750332921that answer does not instill within me a sense of trust and calm.Do you at least have rp servers?
>>750330585>all this shilling and hype>multiple failed launches>just to have fewer players than OctowowGood fucking grief
>>750333013it's a pve server but you are welcome to role play
come and play with us on pochie, we have cute girls in our guild
>>750333129
>>750332183Nobody??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
>>750333129id fuck him
>>750333343supposedly London, at least at one point. google it, nerd.
just play octowow
>>750333129who is this and why does she looks like Soogsx ?
>>750331154
>>750333451>another retarded server setting itself up for a C&Dshan't be wasting time on this
>>750330585>Start fresh in the server>Finally get Thunderfury>The server gets wiped literally 2 weeks afterNEVER AGAINI'm not touching wow ever again
lol
>>750334007server doesn't use discord btw
>>750334007>Is in OFCOM jurisdiction tooYeah, why the fuck would you do that
>>750334107what does that have to do with anything you retarded shill? all it takes is for microsoft to notice you're denying Forever players and their lawyers will come crashing down on you
>>750334173is also not in london btw
>>750334208okay then where is it?
>>750330649I dont envy you living a life where this is the highest prio
>>750334249in your heart
Interesting how this is the smoothest and most bug free version of Epoch and also the most dead. I understand why the devs don't want to advertise it but a max 600 pop server is not going to survive Forever's launch
Man, it must be hard to be a poorfag wanting to play WoW with all the fellas and having only shitty private servers as an option.God I would kill myself if I had to play on a shitty server like OP is shilling.
retard questionwhy hasn't any private server updated the in-game models with models based on noname55 designs?at this point, it's the natural aesthetic update of the original wow artstyle.
>>750330585Thanks. Just forwarded this to Blizzard.
>>750335536>why hasn't any private server updated the in-game models with models based on noname55 designs?if you have the files, you can just make the patches yourself
>>750335224instead you pay 30 dollars for a race everyone has on retaillmao
>>750335208Main dev is a privacy zealot and considering Gitlab, LinkedIn, Reddit and Discord gave Blizzard attorneys other private server devs their info at the first legal request shows he isn't exactly wrong.We'll see how it fares three months into WoW Forever when people realize modern Blizzard doesn't know how to Classic+. The amount of bugs under the hood in the beta from porting to the retail engine was staggering, and this was only max level 30. The exploits are going to be insane at 60.
>>750330585>Cross factionTranny server
>>750336084I'm straight though
>>750336051>We'll see how it fares three months into WoW Forever when people realize modern Blizzard doesn't know how to Classic+not well, considering the zero advertisement the server is getting
>custom 3.3.5a clientenjoy getting your PC ratted thanks to the millions of public RCE exploits
>>750336298You can just patch it or use it in a sandbox if you're paranoid.
yeah not touching that pos project ever again
>>750336298every pserver client is a security risk, retard. if you're not running pservers on an isolated environment you're asking for troublethis will ultimately be the main reason your average person picks blizzard's slop over pservers.
>>750336051I'd say people aren't going to roll on a stale server but that's how turtle wow became popular.I guess if they pump out good content despite the low pop then sloptubers might pick up on it
>>750336503is not the same btw>>750336539this is a non issue, you can use programs like glasswire to even detect/see what the programs on your pc are doing, and when one person identifies and issue the word spreads, and the project dies
I've been playing it, pretty fun. Rolled a hunter for the first time and I'm around 14, pets are great.
>>75033642699% of pserver morons don't patch it and the ones that do use the patcher that hasn't been updated in 2 years instead of the one thats been updated. you can immediately rat probably the entire server>>750336539the 3.3.5a client has exploits that let you send whatever you want to whoever you want that's connected that will immediately run on their computer, not just the server owners.
>>750331320Have you considered not using a windows XP laptop from 2004, you seething brown man?
>>750336646no contract challenges? regardless, glad to see you're enjoying it!
>>750336636identifies an issue*
>>750336671>the 3.3.5a client has exploits that let you send whatever you want to whoever you want that's connected that will immediately run on their computer, not just the server owners.thanks for agreeing me with me you stupid bot, ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about kobolds
>>750336636doesnt matter. its going to be a mess again and its going to be shut down in again
>>750335208I think the whole point of this stealth launch is to keep it very hush hush on the down low on purpose to avoid a massive rush of FOTM faggots and the ire of Blizzard since the scene is kinda hot right now, and just let the server grow organically from there.
>>750336175Yeah, I'm liking the server a lot, but Forever is obviously going to hit it like a meteor no matter what cope you come up with. Advertising is really going to be the difference between this instantly folding or possibly holding on for a comeback later.
>>750330649so it's just like 4chan thenhome....
>>750337374>>750330649kek
>>750331154I would abandon it after two week anyway. WoW early game is the only fun part.
>>750330585Population numbers as of 30 seconds ago
>>750331641should I have used a more modern client for my local server and just blocked off the new stuff? how am I fucked by the 1.12?
>>750330585>with a current population of 500 playersthese servers always have some turbo-autist spamming the world chat all day
>>750338908nah those get banned
>>750330813Who still has a 32 bit system?
>>750338908There was some dude spamming world chat in all caps about faggots and other such things last night, was kind of funny how long it went on for before he got axed.
>>750331681600 players>200 russians>200 chinese>200 jeets>keno
48 people in Elwood and 540 on the server in total. I want to believe but it is impossible to even find a Hogger group.
Very comfy server
>>750340430I just had to suicide-kill Princess in Elywnn. It is not comfy when you are alone in the most populated leveling zone.
>>750340716try typing /1 and asking for help
>>750341986Yeah no shit but having to ask for help with Princess and Hogger is never a sign of a healthy server
>>750336084Private servers that expect to not even hit 1000 players needs crossfaction in order for people to be able to do group content.
>>750342432I didn't had to ask though and I did them like 12 hours ago, just hang around the place questing and invite other players if you don't feel like asking
>>750333617She goes by Sneedsx now.
>>750336084yeah its so shit. every server since 2020 has had this tranny shit too
can't speak for others but I have met zero (0) trannies in Epoch Reborn so far, I have noticed though that admins are quick to ban anyone either extremely full of hate or extremely full of toxoplasmosis (trannies)
>>750330649>You get banned for saying nigger or kike.yeah I think I'll avoid this one chief
>>750344506brother the ESL oozes off your postsyou and the troons are in the same club
>>750344661you're EOL broski
>>750330585>MUH CLASSIC
>>750344708not really classic, more like classic+
>>750330585nah im playing forever
>>750330649I think that spamming a bunch of vulgarities in full caps for several days straight deserves a ban
>>750330585Just emailed blizzard. Tick tock!
>>750344995caring about world chat is a literal non issue, players don't give a shit if someone goes and say kill all kikes they also don't give a shit if they get ban or notcaring about this is low iq behavior if you're not in the server to play that's my take you wanna go ahead and say behead all spics? go ahead and make the rest of the players laugh while they level up
>>750345185in other words yes let them get the ban hammer which btw is not really a ban just like a 2 days suspension
>>750331541>Forever is big dogging every private server in existence>sub 1,000 player private servers can't stop fighting amongst themselves for scrapsThis is why I hate private server discussion on 4chan
>>750331267damn, the og epoch had like 20k people trying to play on its original release
>>750345907correct, this re-released version came out with no advertisement whatsoever besides the occasional post about it a month ago for the beta on /vg/ after Ascension died due to blizzard threats , the reason why these new devs are not using anything like discord or twitter
>>750345907og failed release was like 80k. the servers absolutely imploded.ascension release was 20k but dropped to 500 after some months because asc staff ignored the server.
>499 popI don't think the server has any chance of recovering past this point. This is the peak and it will only decrease once Forever is out
>>750347410it will spike once people realize how bad forever istrust the plan
>>750338632
>>750347734they're going to octowow, at this point your only hope is octo going down
>>750348201octowhat?
>>750332274on Octo some people run 2 or 3 instances of WoW at the same time, it has high pop, but these aren't unique connections
>>750330585Curandiel which class would you recommend for explorer's contract?I presume your guild is mostly alliance so I'd like to roll alliance too.Already have horde warlock regular char, so lock's a no no.
>>750352139NTA, but hunters and paladins have it the easiest
>>750352139The server is cross-faction, so you can play either Horde or Alliance. Pic related is our current lineup.As for classes, I'm having a really good time playing as a Human Male Priest, but someone in the other thread brought up an important point about mobility. If you want to make the most of your time while exploring and questing, a Druid might be a good choice, especially with its shapeshifting abilities before you get your mount at level 40. Are you looking for anything specific in particular?
I can't play anymore because the launcher can't download a 40 MB update
I've played the original. Why should I do it again
>>750336743Why the fuck would you play WoW if you aren't using a laptop from 2004?
>>750355282my laptop is from 2026 btw
>>750353697Yeah based on the guild rooster I'll roll alliance then so I can help / get help from rest of guildies more easily.The mobility being brought up is a welcome tip, didn't think of it before.At first Paladin felt like a strong choice, BUT: I'd like to experience undead Paladin custom quests, I've heard good things about them being quite kino. So that's another Horde char.I was wondering if warrior would be a good choice for Explorer's Contract since I wouldn't overlevel my gear that easily. Herb+alchemy for healing and potions.Don't know much about druids on Epoch, but I like seeing my character model and gear progression most of the time instead of beast form. I think Taurens have better racials for a druid too, the stamina thing and herb gathering bonus.I'd rather not to pick Hunter or Rogue, I have my doubts on wether I'd finish 2x longer lvling process as them.Do you know anything on the current state of Mage?I really enjoyed playing enhancement Shaman on OG Epoch, haven't tried dwarf Shaman yet. I'd probably go skinning+LW if I picked this combo.
>connection unavailable>no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused itgood job faggot
>>750330585>cross faction
>>750352139if you're playing explorer's contract (don't, seriously) then you basically have to play druid or hunter for their enhanced movement speed.
>>750330813>it doesn’t even support 32-bit systemsAre you literally still running on the same desktop computer you originally played wow?
>>750355775>I was wondering if warrior would be a good choice for Explorer's ContractWarrior with Blacksmithing is pretty fucking kino and powerful. By level 40, you are a killing machine. Same with Paladin with Blacksmithing. You also get a "Repair All" skill when you become a Master Blacksmith.>Herb+alchemy for healing and potions.It sounds good in theory. You can always try it out and test it for yourself.>Don't know much about druids on Epoch, but I like seeing my character model and gear progression most of the time instead of beast form. I think Taurens have better racials for a druid too, the stamina thing and herb gathering bonus.Unfortunately, I cannot help with that, as I haven't tried them out on Epoch.>I'd rather not to pick Hunter or Rogue, I have my doubts on wether I'd finish 2x longer lvling process as them.Me neither. I see them both as PvP classes, although Hunter is quite good for leveling if you ever get tired of the contract (you won't).>Do you know anything on the current state of Mage?Not at all.>I really enjoyed playing enhancement Shaman on OG Epoch, haven't tried dwarf Shaman yet. I'd probably go skinning+LW if I picked this combo.I am sure the guild members could help and give you advice on that, and if not, you can always learn through trial and error until you succeed. We also have a Shaman in the guild who seems to know the class pretty well and also played both the original and Ascension version of Epoch.
>>750355775>Do you know anything on the current state of Mage?NTA, but frost mage has really good AOE as always and arcane mages would burn through their mana with a HUGE burst of damage.no idea about fire.
>server and website downcool nice try
>>750357013i'm playing right now though
>>750331154>Why would I play this when forever comes out in two weeks?ummmmm
>>750357013There are only 300 online anyway
>>750330904>hackswow is that how you email every blizzard dev at once?
>>750331154Playing this gives no money to commiefornian companies.
>>750357483KEK
Post the patched game files you lazy fucks.
>>750356207You advice me not to pick up the challenge, did you do it once?I know it stretches the whole experience to the max as it cuts in half every gain, but is it that much tiresome?With all the new quests and places and reputation to farm till exalted I'd guess it's a nice thing to try?
>>750356289In case of warrior should I roll arms or prot for leveling?
>>750330585Private server scene is too hot right now and I've had my fill for at least the next 5 years. Maybe I'll try again around 2030. Hopefully by then blizz will be dead and we'll see an explosion of extremely high quality private servers with Vanilla+ content.
>playing the server where OG creator bugged out the second everything went to shit because "we didn't expect this many players on our server"
>>750357483
>>750357747>all the new quests and places and reputation to farm till exaltedCome on...

>>750357976Gaytotes was an idiot but the idea guys he was relying on had good ideas
>>750336671So can you tell me where the patcher is? I can't find anything on google.
>>750330585why arent we just playing Octowow?
>>750338714Blasting off!
>>750358107because I'm playing Project Epoch Reborn
>>750358107Why not both?
>>750358107because turtle's content fucking sucked
>people hitting Deadmines early getting completely demolishedLove to see it. Don't go to DM below level 20, this isn't vanilla those bosses will fuck you up. Mr Smite in particular you're lucky to survive with two people standing.
>>750330585Can I multibox?
>>750358553No, you'll get banned.
>>750358565Any similar servers that allow it I just wanna to do 5 hunters man
>>750358624honestly i have no idea about that
>>750358624maybe octowow does? since turtle allowed it
Multiboxers should be publicly executed.
>>750357996What's wrong anon?
>>750358846Octo allows 2 at most and no software, so it's not really multibox.
Horde side is super dead already
man i remember trying this out when it released under the ascension umbrella, i logged in on a fresh warlock and ran out of mana trying to kill a level 1 mob and just realized their advertised increased difficulty was just adding more health to mobs and alt-f4'd
>>750359483Both are dead, I don't think the server will ever hit 500 pop again
>>750359067Just trying to have some fun bro. You never wanted to spam dots on mobs with 5 warlocks or 5 serpent stings on hunters? I don't mean those 40 stacks, that's definitely retarded.
>>750359483>>750359587it's only gonna get worse as we approach forever's release toooh well maybe in the next epoch re-re-release
epoch biggest pserver fumble of all time desu
>>750360118This and Gummys
>>750330585Im going to play this just to test my new mmo mouse before Forevers release :)
>>750360118It was a perfect storm of bad timing. If something like Epoch had come around 10 years ago it would have been legendary kino.
>>750358291Epoch didn't have much new content desu. Dragonmaw and Stormwrought Ruins were also pretty damn good while Epoch had that mine in STV that was just okay.
>>750360475Nu Wailing Caverns was kino. Once you figured out the routing you could do the entire dungeon in one go with almost no backtracking.
>>750360253I mean yeah I guess the lawsuit hitting twow and taking everyone else as collateral was bad timing but the project lead being a 20 year old from the UK with 0 clue of how to run a server with more than 100 concurrent users also didnt help
>>750360475Wailing Caverns > Deadmines > WoW Forever beta dungeons > that STV dungeon > Turtle content
>>750360253Nah it needed to come out in 2023 like planned. Before Turtle started to git gud with content and the 1.12 jank wasn't mostly sorted out by mods yet. They took too long and released it unfinished, dumb dumb dumb.
>>750361550Excavation site is dogshit, Forever is really getting a pass on mid content due to the graphics engine.
>>750361550
>>750361957now post what dragonmaw retreat actually looks like in-game
>>750332183>Waah look at me I'm American I can't play a game with over 20ms It's fucking vanilla WoW shits playable at 600ms
>>750362050Proving this point dude>>750361704
>>750330585Pochie should have stayed dead, desu
>only 500 playersyeah this is how you become a tranny circlejerk like turtleenjoy your programming socks
>>750362113and you are?
>>750362170I've been around since pochie 1.0 'launched', desu
