AQ War effort

[Imbaslap]

Wasnt that some blizzard special for servers who were just too low populated/dumb?

no they never really completed. they allowed guild transfers and server transfers before that time. guilds would server hop to get the AQ event opened by them if they sucked on the better servers.

I'm not suggesting anything, that's why I posted this thread here and not in the Suggestion forum as I wanted to open discussion on the topic.

On my old EU server the gates were opened before the war effort completed because there wasn't high enough population to complete it in a timely manner.

The point that while population is higher than Blizzlike, the respawn rates are (mostly) Blizzlike is valid, as is the point that consumption of resources is also higher. But, many players have assuredly stockpiled stuff, meaning that the war effort could - hypothetically speaking - be completed in a week! I don't know if the developers can scan all bank inventories easily but that would really help in making an informed decision.

Personally I'm all for keeping things as close to Blizzlike vanilla as possible - but I would be disappointed to see this event, that's supposed to be a major server-wide undertaking, to be trivialized into something that is completed by a quarter of the population and is over in few days or two weeks.

I'd rather have raid content than farm content. I quit WoD because I was tired of clicking stuff.

You all seriously are retarded. The huge population is what makes nostalrius pvp server. It's Ffdfffdkcing sweet. So gtfoml with your punk azs bull arguments. #Allianceftw

+1. The difficulty and/or length of time it takes to do anything in vanilla is what made that game fun and challenging.

6 accounts per players, possibility of 54 bank characters, and thereby easy and cheap for players to have 5400 bank slots per person. I guess if a few guilds stockpiled, it would indeed be opened fast.

Wasnt that some blizzard Feenix special for servers who were just too low populated/dumb Emerald Dream?

Fixed that for you

They multiplied the required mats because players/guilds were saying they had all the mats to complete the war effort on first day.

This was completely untrue and was practically impossible to complete in a timely manner. GG

ED war effort was nothing more than a troll; a carrot on a stick designed to keep people playing as long as possible. ED had been without a development team for over a year when the War Effort began.

We saw just how false everything Feenix told the players was when Nostalrius/Kronos released and their server started to actually die, and they quickly ended the war effort and release Warsong garbage version of AQ (after advertising a fully scripted ED version being in the works for nearly 2 years
