Private Servers - well lol

lewisteh · July 31, 2007, 05:08 AM

A friend of my son has access to several private servers - so I had a look to see what they did. All I can say is - rofl.

As a level 1 - you kill your first mob (also level 1) and hey-presto you ding level 70 as the kill awards you 13,5000,000 xp or something like that.

Next find a few humanoid mobs and kill them. At level 3 they were dropping anything from 4,000 - 18,000 gold each.

Next, go to capital city and buy all of you training out of your stash of cash of about 5000,000 gold.

Next portal to Shattrath where in the middle of the circle of light were rows upon row of vendors to buy everything you want. First stop is the bag vendor for all your stuff. Then buy the tier 6 armour, then the weapon merchant to get your legendary items.

Next - pop over to shadowmoon for your epic flying mount and choose your mount - or all of them if you want.

Hey - now your ready to face the world of warcraft. The guy I watched had made an undead mage. He has instant cast pyroblast for some reason - non stop. Mana regen was almost as fast as you could use it, as was health regen.

Next was one of the elite pit lords - got killed with about 5 instant pyroblasts. The mages crit was 52.5%.

Throughout all of this were multiple DC's, bugged events, things going worng.

I lost interest after watching for a bout 30 mins - I think he went to solo mt Hyjal after that.

Anyway - what the hell is the point of all that. Every player was fully epicced and legendaried out after 15 mins of game time - and it looked to be very boring after 20 minutes. I mean it wasn't even fun to play the epic geared guy - as you had some much resistance - not much could kill you.

Some people, especially younger, envious players, tend to think that if they could "have all" or "do all" the game would be any better. It's like people who cheat in normal computer games. It's easy, it's casual, yes, but there is no challenge. No reward for being able to do nothing special.

I once had a premade on the PTR when I was a level 40 warlock. It was only a D1-Set level 60 toon but it felt soo strong but also very alien at the same time. MMORPGs live by the connection you create to your chars. People who reroll a lot and neever reached more than 30 days /played on a char might disagree.

It's actually the same in "real life", many mates I play WoW with dream of a good job, a good income, and a family - something that I have obtained and I can just repeat myself: It doesn't solve anything.

Moderation is actually the only paradise and an instant kill game is not moderate at all.

Traveling , not landing , is the meaning of life.

It is like deal with devil. Those players are trading their fun, which comes with hard work, for epics, that they will get without making an effort. I have some friends who are playing like this. They became quickly bored with such a game, standing in Oggri in full T5, fully enchanted and with tons of gold. There is not any reason to continue playing, coz they got everything that possible.
