Blizzard legal targets private servers

by Alex Ziebart (cited from wow.insider.com)

Privately run WoW servers have been dropping like flies in the last day or so after receiving letters from Blizzard's lawyers under the DMCA. They've been shut down so quickly and rapidly that it's being heralded as "the end of private servers" by quite a few people. The biggest and most well known servers such as Toxic WoW and Ani-WoW are more or less all gone already, and it seems that it's only a matter of time before the smaller ones go down as well. Supposedly, this letter has a pretty long list of sites and servers that are to be taken down.

Some of these sites have just called it a day, shut down their servers and will move on with their lives, but a few others are already talking about starting them back up elsewhere, 'underground.' It's the internet, and at this point, that just seems silly. Blizzard is watching, and it seems this issue has moved up a notch on their priority list. My advice? Don't tempt fate.

Its time to start your adventure at the "retail" way.

NEW MEMBERS THAT NOT SO NEW TO US

Woot!!!

We are glad to have 3 ex wodnet player joined us in Gorgonesh.

Drop us a message if u have any enquiries.

FINALLY LEVEL 80

Cool@!

I manage to finally hit level 80 2 days ago. But there is still plenty of things to work on things like: profession, reputation, questing for gold etc. There is still plenty of quest to cover as well as more new game mechanism to learn, all in all, the new expansion is awesome.

By tomorrow, another two of our guild member will most likely hit level 80, while we all prepare to gear up for the arena season 5 which going to open around Dec 15, 2008, we hope to enjoy some good and enjoyable raiding.

Most of our group previous guild members is yet to bought the new expansion yet. Some of them apparently is busy, some of them waiting for salary, and some of them plotting for the 3 months revival campaign.

The guild will be slowly building up in Gorgonesh.

I heard that private server is not gonna support wotlk for now, i wonder what will happen to wodnet which provide platform for me to learn about wow.

If you are playing private server and reading this, again, i urge u to join us at Gorgonesh as private server does not resemble the complete gaming experience which awesomely presented by Blizzard.

CHILDREN OF SHADOW in GORGONESH

Announcement:

On November 23, we have successfully recreated the guild - Children of Shadow in Gorgonesh, Rampage Battlegroup, US WOW server.

The current guild leader is: Scyclone

and we are currently in the process of recruiting back our old member as well as pro actively inviting new members with proper recommendation from guild members.

RANDOM DESPAIR

Random?

Today is Tuesday, as always, wow under going maintenance. Currently busy leveling my hunter to Level 80. Bought the new expansion - Wrath of The Lich King for RM140 3 days ago. Currently stuck at level 74.

HUNTER GUIDE FROM PLOPS FOR WOTLK

PLOPS wrote this with the help of Jekuto and Megatf.

Q u o t e:

I have been working with Jekuto (a very good hunter) who has also been working with Megatf (who we all know) as to how to play hunter at it's "peak" in WotLK, and how well casual play could compete. We also discussed how well hunter peak/casual play would measure up with that of other classes.

Currently, myself in my Recorded "forays" into rated 80 arenas, was probably playing hunter at about 70% of it's potential, using about 43 bindings.

Here are the things hunters are required to do, in order to truly be playing the class at "peak" arena potential. For some this might be a review, for others it could be a guide. For blizzard, it should be a WARNING as to how easy it might be to play other classes at a reasonable level of arena effectiveness compared to hunters:
______________________________________________________

** Tenacity pets are a complete requirement, as RoS is simply too necessary for any hunter comp. RoS must not be ignored, and it must not be auto-fired. It must be macroed to a reaction hotkey and prioritized during perceived times of heavy incoming burst, on either the hunter or on teammates (such as using a mouseover macro)

The same goes for Intervene. This should also be keybound, and used for the hunter and teammates.

** Because of RoS's heavy use, pet health must be closely monitored. RoS will kill pets in arenas, and hunters must be pumping constant mends into pets to attempt to keep them as close to topped off as possible. Hunters and teammates must always be micromanaging pet health.

** Roots from pets are more important than even Viper masking. Root should not be auto-firing (must be keybound) and should instead be used during "clutch" times to attempt to compensate for our lack of ways to deal with our targets LoSing us. Likewise with charge, which is also paramount.

** Aspect-dancing should not be done simply when OOM. Hunters must be able to recognize when they have opportunities to fill back some mana during times when damage would not otherwise matter much. Mana management is a major issue because going OOM when opponents are vulnerable will prolong games that could have been won.

The best use of rapidfire (due to hunter's pathetic burst), may be when an opportunity to chain auto-steady's presents itself to assist with refilling mana as quickly as possible. Hunters should always be paying attention to mana effeciency because of our penalty on AotV.

** Hunters need to micro and maintain viper stings on healer or caster dps same as always because the outlast role of TBC will continue.

** Hunters need to look for opportunites to CC offensively/defensively. In order to best land our ranged baseline CC, we will need to look for opporutnities to land freezing arrow ---> compensating for it's grenade mechanic, arm time, and tiny trigger radius.

This means hunters should be spending less than 1-2 seconds mid-fight aiming a small grenade-size radius on a 1-2 second "lead" as to where they think an opponent "will be". Either that or they should be looking for the opportunity to chain freezing arrow behind leading scattershots or pet roots set up specifically so that freezing arrow can be ensured success.

** Because they have no raw %damage mitigation, invulns, or stun breaks, Hunters must compensate for low survivability with raw short-cooldown reaction time. For most builds this will mean defensive scatters, wyverns, or silences, and possibly complicated Readiness chains such as disengage + deterrence + Readiness + disengage cooldown chains similar to rogues.

** Hunters will need to be maintaining a MS effect on one target to compensate for their lack of burst, prioritizing this with all their other globals.

** Hunters must be maintaining effective trapping. They will need to make mid-fight decisions as to whether to use their trap cooldown on frosts to help teammates stay on or escape a target, or whether they have a chance in hell in landing a freeze trap instead.

Likewise hunters need to spend extra attention to consider whether or not to HOLD their scattershot cooldown to wait on their trap cooldown so that they can chain scatter + freezing trap/arrow, instead of using scattershot for other offensive or defensive use.

** MM build hunters will need to use GCD's to prep stings to make chimera shot worthwhile. This means spending a GCD to prep a very mediocre effect (scorpid) on a potential disarm target.

** All hunters must always be looking for attempts to "plant" their feet while kiting in order to make use of autoshots, the one thing that keeps us from being able to lower our GCD with haste gear like casters can.

Hunters must always be aware of their internal autoshot cooldown either by instinct or through the use of a mod to ensure maximum "on the run" autoshot DPS during any arena match.
_______________________________________________

Hunters need to be doing all of this at once. The more of these things a casual hunter "skimps" on, the more his success and rating will suffer.

I'm going to be blunt..........with all of my prior hunter experience, I still cannot do all of the things I listed above at once. Maybe if I played enough, I would be able to much later into S5. As it stands now I am attempting to set up 48 keybinds for a MM build.

I propose this as a warning to Blizzard and casual hunters, the class is arguably the most complex to play at an equal level of success to more "casual" play by other classes.

MY HUNTER

Hunter?

Well, not able to raid as much as i like, so i am having insufficient of BOJ to get those BOJ upgrdes such as the "chicken" bow and the angelista ring

Besides the upgrades to the shoulder as per the last post "Shoulders of Lightning Reflexes", i have replaced two other items recently. One of them is a cloak - The Gladiator's Resolution to replace my Sergeant's Heavy Cloak.

Another upgrades consist of Battlemaster's Aggression replacing my old Battlemaster's Determination. Both upgrades consist of the latest addition of honor rewards prior to the wotlk.

Arena?

Well, still in the middle of collecting sufficient points for my second Brutal - Brutal Gladiator's Chain Leggings, next week should see me having enough arena points to buy it.

Now arena is a mess, too many quick kill in terms of op class such as ret pally, rogues, feral druid, mages and warrior, often people died within sec after the game start. Well, besides the fact that hunter do sucks in the arena, my pvp skills still need major polishing.

Battleground?

Well, hunter fair a little better in the bg, most of the time, i am able to sneak into the top 3 top kill. But still, Ret pally is the king.

Able to sit at CC / Lan shop with friends to play wow the other day, 6 of us, me (hunter), my brother (rogue), scyclone (Shadow priest), Notrom (Disc priest), Siaolaokoong (Rogue), Ghozt (Ret pally). We do some premade bg and having great fun to have the support and good communication while playing. Eg, fear those rogues for me, okie!!! Take the flag!!! etc

The best part is, we are able to achieve two great "achievement" 1) To win EOTS within 6 minutes 2) To win EOTS with 2000/0

It was really fun.

Finally

Whether your in retail of private, enjoy the game. Do come to retail if your condition allow. Leave me a message if u interested for an invite. Oh, almost forgot, sorry Retardin, you are getting NERF!!!

RANDOM DESPAIR

HUNTER SUCKS

Well, hunter sucks but still i pretty enjoy the fact that hunter can now tame all sort of pets with unique ability (like heroes). But still these pet is stupid and low in IQ.

Finally able to found a spec that is "playable" and fun in the current wow environment (where pally, rogue, mage, warlock will burst u down in second) my current build for 3.0.2 = 0/51/10, Marksman/Survival.

This build main damage come from aimshot (instant now), arcane shot, multishot, as well as serpeant +chimera shot combo. Together with silent shot and readiness, it provide a little burst of damage. The down part is: there is no scatter shot with this build, also, only 1 point at improve wing clip and no "point" at surefooted.

Finally maxed my leatherworking to 375. Bought "Pattern: Shoulders of Lightning Reflexes" from AH for 200 gold. But the mats is quite expensive as well, now still lack 6 more primal air and 7 wind scales. This shoulder shall replace my stupid S2 shoulder - Merciless Gladiator's Chain Spaulders. With this new shoulder,

i gain:

11 Int
50 Melee AP
37 Melee Haste
50 Ranged AP
37 Ranged Haste
26 Armor

But i lose:

5 Agi
26 Sta
14 Melee Crit
14 Ranged Crit
21 Resilience
2 Sockets

Have give up on the druid (which i mentioned i leveling), deleted the toon and leveling up a mage instead to level 12. But has been stop leveling for like 3 days, until i can find someone to recruit and leveling together (3x exp).

Also, there are going to be plenty of new buff to hunter's aimshot damage as it will be effected by Barrage and Improved Barrage in 3.0.3. As well as the new aspect of the dragonhawk. @@

LEVELING MAGE, LF MEMBER 3x EXPERIENCE

LF MEMBER

I WILL PUT MY LEVEL 10 DRUID ASIDE FOR AWHILE AFTER HAVING MORE TIME TO JUDGE ALL CLASS YESTERDAY NIGHT. THE VERDICT? PALLY WILL BE THE MOST OP ONE FOR 3.0.2, MAGE WILL BE SECOND OP BECAUSE OF DEEPFREEEZE, THEN THE THIRD WILL BE THE UNDISPUTEBLE FORMAL OP KING - ROGUE. THE REST? SUCKS (AT LEAST FOR NOW)

MY PREFER WOTLK HUNTER BUILD 2

My Prefer Hunter WOTLK Beta Build 8926

Source from mmo-champion showcase some major nerfs to the hunter at Wotlk.

Skills

• Aspect of the Beast has been removed
  
• Aspect of the Viper now regenerate a percentage of maximum mana equal to base ranged weapon speed on each ranged attack and reduces your damage done by 50%
  

• Kill Shot now deals 200% weapon damage plus [30% of RAP + 400] damage. (Old - Weapon damage plus [15% of RAP + 2500] damage)

Talents
Beast Mastery

• Cobra Strikes now affects your pet's next 2 special attacks. (Down from 3)
  
• Invigoration now has a 50/100% to instantly regenerate 1% mana when your pet scores a critical hit with a special ability. (Old - 100% chance to regenerate 1/2% mana)
  
• Aspect Mastery now reduces the damage down to you while Aspect of the Monkey is active by 5% (down from 10%) and increases the attack power bonus of Aspect of the Hawk by 30% (down from 50%)
  

• Improved Steady show now has a chance to reduce the mana cost of your next Aimed / Arcane / Chimera shot by 20%. (Down from 40%)
  

• Hunting Party now lasts 15 seconds
  
• Noxious Stings is now implemented
  
• Lock and Load now affects your next Arcane Shot (down from 3 next Arcane Shot).
  
• T.N.T now increases the critical strike chance of your Explosive Shot and Explosive Trap by 3/6/9%. (Down from 5/10/15%)

Since major nerf to Lock and load and T.N.T which previously fair heavily in the strategy of my prefer beta build 1, i sincerely believe that there is no more reason to take up to points at lock and load just for a merely one no mana, no cooldown shot, furthermore, it needs to either trap a person or change on sting. Nonetheless, T.N.T and explosive shot still seems to be a pretty decent skills. However, due to Explosive shot require 50 points talent into survival tree, we might as well sacrifice explosive shot and T.N.T for deeper Markman tree talent.

Here is my Beta Build 2, Click here

The major different Beta Build 2 compared with Beta Build 1, is where, in Build 2, there is no more Explosive shot, T.N.T and Lock and Load. In return, we have scatter shot, which will be decent when use together with readiness, 3 points into Improved arcane shot, and 2 points into Combat experience. Combat experience gives a total of 12% extra attack power along with Careful aim.

Well, frost trap will still be the core move of the strategy with Point of no escape talent, with the additional cc of scatter shot and additional AP from Combat experience and Improve arcane shot, i am still pretty optimistic with the Beta hunter playability.

Im not a Beta tester, just merely having fun dwelling with the Beta build, hope no more major nerf in the coming patch tho.

Thanks for reading.

MY PREFER WOTLK HUNTER BUILD 1

As a big hunter user here, i am glad that hunter has been given some long awaited buff such as Disengage (Backward Blink), Deterence (Base Skills / Buff) etc. After messing with the Hunter's beta build 8905, i am pretty exited with the new prospect and role hunter's in arena PVP. My prefer build:

Mana Highlight

Resourcefulness - Reduces the mana cost of all traps and melee abilities by 60% and reduces the cooldown of all traps by 6 sec.
Thrill of the Hunt - Gives you a 66% chance to regain 40% of the mana cost of any shot when it critically hits.

Misc Highlight

Hawk Eye - Increases the range of your ranged weapons by 6 yards
Lock and Load - You have a 100% chance when you trap a target and a 15% chance when you Sting a target to cause your next 3 Arcane Shot or Explosive Shot spells to trigger no cooldown, cost no mana and consume no ammo.
Readiness - When activated, this ability immediately finishes the cooldown on your other Hunter abilities.
Explosive Shot - You fire an explosive charge into the enemy target, dealing [RAP * 0.2 + 345]-[RAP * 0.2 + 415] Fire damage. The charge will blast the target every second for an additional 2 sec. Each charge also deals [(RAP * 0.2 + 345) / 4]-[(RAP * 0.2 + 415) / 4] Fire damage to all nearby enimies within 5 yards of the target.
Aimed Shot - An aimed shot that increases ranged damage by 1570 and reduces healing done to that target by 50%. Lasts 10 sec.
Focused Aim - Gives you a 70% chance to avoid interruption caused by damage while casting Aimed Shot and Steady Shot.

New Spell / Revamp Spell

Kill Shot - You attempt to finish the wounded target off, firing a long range attack dealing weapon damage plus [RAP * 0.15 + 2500]. The sheer power of the attack causes a strong recoil, causing you to be knocked down after the attack.
Master's Call - Your pet attempts to remove all stun and movement impairing effects on the target, and cause them to be immune to all effects for 4 sec. Can be cast while stunned.
Deterrence - When activated, increases the chance to dodge and parry all melee and ranged attacks by 25%, and resist all spell attacks by 60% for 10 sec.
Disengage - You attempt to disengage from the target, leaping backwards. Must be facing the target.
Aspect of the Viper - You regenerate mana equal to 100% of the damage done by any ranged attack or ability, but reduces your total damage by 50%.
Arcane Shot (rank 11) - An instant shot that causes [RAP * 0.15 + 492] Arcane damage.
Tranquilizing Shot - Attempts to remove 1 Frenzy, Enrage and Magic effect from an enemy target.

Summary

With Mastercall, Deterrence and Disengage, the survivability of Hunter will therefore improved significantly, not to mention that with this build, Hunter can use Readiness to refresh all its cool down, much like rogue's preparation. Also, this build also take in 10% extra buff on stamina which not only give more HP but more attack power as well with "Hunter vs wild". Beside stamina, Careful aim allow 100% of intellect as AP buff. And we shall see +6 to all stat will be the best chest enchant around for hunter. Mana wise, with Resourcefullness and thrill of the hunt, together with the new Aspect of the viper, mana shouldn't be a problem for a hunter in WOTLK anymore.

Wyvern sting will have its damage buff and reduce to 1 min cooldown, which will be a significant buff. Together with readiness, there is a liable cc in place, offset with improved sting (30% less chance to be dispel), Noxious sting (dispeler get wyvern sting effect) and Scorpid pet (mask poison)

Beside the damage buff from all the talent as well as stamina and intellect buff, new hunter also able to dispel enrage affect with Tranquilizing Shot, the bad news is arcane shot is no longer able to dispel anything, and it is now merely a dps instant shot.

The build possible main strategy involve frequent use of frost trap and sting (either viper or wyvern sting) to proc off lock and load to cause your next 3 Arcane Shot or Explosive Shot spells to trigger no cooldown, cost no mana and consume no ammo. Once proc, hunter can instant 3 explosive shot which have T.N.T effect (15% chance to stun and +15% crit chance) on it. Together with Point of no escape (6% crit to target inflicted in frost and freeze trap), each explosive shot will gain 21% extra chance to crit, not even counting in on master tactician 2% increase crit chance if proc as well as other increase crit chance utility as mentioned at the beginning of the thread.

Conclusion

Hunter is definitely getting the attention and buff it lacks currently. I am pretty confident that the new DPS based hunter will be better fair in arena for WOTLK. Since wotlk is still in beta stage, above is just a mere preference and my personal opinion. I sincerely believe that no point to start on theorycrafting before it goes live. However, i hope that my little post here will allow you to see the future of hunter in making. Note: BTW, hunter's pet also get big revamp

Thanks

RECRUIT A FRIEND PROGRAM - WOW RETAIL

Pls Read

Blizzard is currently running on recruit a friend program where it will help the players in many ways as well as allowing friends to assist on new friend on the game.

What is "Recruit-A-Friend"?

Our new friend referral system allows you to recruit some of your friends to join you in World of Warcraft by sending them an invitation email containing a trial activation key. With this key, your friends will be able to set up their own trial accounts.

What in-game benefits do we get while the accounts we play are linked?

1. Characters on both accounts can summon each other once per hour.
2. While adventuring with your linked friend/family member, you will each gain triple experience.
3. For every two levels the new player earns, the new player can grant one free level-up to a lower-level character played by the veteran player.

How long will I be linked to my recruit?

The link between the accounts will last for 90 days from the date that your recruit creates an account. Remember that for the link to work properly, your recruit must create a new World of Warcraft account using the 10-day trial key in your invitation email.

When my friend/family member upgrades from a trial account to a full version of the game, will that break the link between the accounts?

Nope! Your friend/family member will have to upgrade to continue playing past the 10-day trial, and the accounts you play will stay linked until the full 90 days have passed.

Are there any limits on when and where I can summon my friend?

The summoning is able regardless of level difference. And level 60 or above characters can summon their friends as long as the summoning target is 59 or lower level.

Do I always gain triple experience while I am linked to my recruit?

No, only when you are partied with a character on the linked account and both players are present when slaying the monster or completing the quest. Also, if the two characters are not the same level (4 or more levels difference), no bonus experience is granted to either character.

Is quest experience tripled too?

Yes, but only if the quest or monster was not trivial (gray difficulty) for either character.

Do normal experience rules apply? How does this affect Rest State experience?

Yes, if a monster or quest is trivial to either player, no experience boost is given. If the quest or monster is trivial to either player then normal experience rules apply, including the use of Rest State experience.

What if I'm partied with multiple recruits who I'm "linked" to? Do I get quadruple, sextuple experience?

No, you can only ever gain a maximum of triple experience regardless of how many linked recruits you are partied with.

Are there any limitations to granting levels to characters played by the veteran player?

Yes. The recruit may not grant a level to a character that is equal to or higher than the current level of the character he or she is playing.
Additionally, the recruit may not grant a level to a character that is level 60 or higher.

At what point does the triple experience end?

It ends the moment that your accounts are unlinked, or when the new player hits level 60.

Will death knights be able to take advantage of the bonus levels?

Yes, death knights will be able to receive bonus levels, too. But keep in mind that death knights start at level 55 and players stop receiving bonus experience at level 60.

How long will Recruit-A-Friend last?

We have not yet determined how long this promotion will last.

_____________________________________________________________

Step 1 The Invitation Send a convenient email invitation to friends and family members, making it easy for them to create a new account and get started.

Step 2 Adventure Together Meet the recruit in Azeroth (see Recruitment Form page for further details) and enjoy special in-game benefits for a full 90 days: Friend-to-friend summoning makes it easy to travel together. Bonus experience ensures faster leveling.

Step 3 Earn Rewards If your friend/family member purchases a full copy of World of Warcraft and pays for a month of subscription time, you get 30 days of subscription time FREE! If your friend/family member pays for two full months of subscription time, you'll receive an exclusive in-game zhevra mount!

___________________________________________________________________

The recruit will get an invitation email including a 10-day guest pass key and a link to download World of Warcraft.

While installing the game, the recruit will be prompted to create an account that will grant him or her 10 days of free access to World of Warcraft.

Note: To receive the benefits of the Recruit-A-Friend system, your friend/family member must use the 10-day guest pass key from your invitation email to create the new account.

During the 10-day free trial or anytime thereafter, the recruit will have the option to upgrade to a full version of World of Warcraft by purchasing a retail copy of the game.

When your friend/family member upgrades to a full version of World of Warcraft and pays for the first month's subscription, the account you sent the invitation from will be automatically credited with a free 30-day subscription. If your friend/family member pays for a second month, you will receive an exclusive in-game zhevra mount.

Each invitation and key expires 30 days from the time you generate the email. If your friend/family member doesn't start his or her trial within this time, the invitation will expire and you will need to send a new one.

Give it a try.

HEY ALL

Glad to see everyone still use the blog as a communication tools when Wodnet is down. I heard the server is being hacked again and i hope all the best to the wodnet community, hopefully everyone is holding together.

I am having a good time at retail - gorgonesh, and my brother (Maru, Extinct, Chrile etc) also started his retail character a while ago. And hopefully we can hit for arena in the next 1 or 2 months.

If you relish the challenge of the retail, please come to gorgonesh server to join me and my brother.

Meanwhile, it is excited again to see the consolidation of 2 guild (Immortaliz and COS) into solely COS, hopefully this chance can allow better advancement to the guild progression in Wodnet.

Regards,

# 101 POST - A NEW BEGINNING

Pls Read

Just realize that this is the #101 post of the blog (include unpost), since i no longer playing on Wodnet, instead playing at retail now, i've decided to consistently cover my hunter character's development.

First of all, i play an Orc Hunter at US Gorgonesh Server. I am level 62 as of the time i am writing this. Why i play at retail? Because i want to prove myself. Why i play hunter? Because i used to play a hunter in Wodnet. Why Orc hunter instead of Troll hunter as if in Wodnet? Because i want the stun resist for pvp as well as new dance move. Why i play at US Gorgonesh server? Because i got alot of friends playing there.

What pet i am using? I use a Black Boar name "Blacky", courtesy of one of our ex guildmate in Wodnet. Why Black Boar? Because never see a Black Boar in real life. How good is the Black Boar serve me? I always sent my Boar to the enemy and get all the aggro then i take the advantage to complete quest activities, ie: open lock, take flag, etc, Blacky always dead, but nevermind, i can always ressurect him, and he never complaint.

How do u fair Gorgonesh compared to Wodnet? Gorgonesh seems more complete, with more interaction as well as better leveling experience, which include being killed by smartass ally who constantly looking for low level to kill. Wodnet is more on the overall experience of able to get he desired weapon and gear. Do you prefer PVP or PVE? I personally will prefer PVP as it can done at my own pace, without giving out too much of my time for raiding. Would you recomend your friends or family to join you at Gorgonesh? Definitely, because i believe that retail is well worth the experience. Eg. If u are able to watch a concert by Michael Jackson lookalike and the show is marvelous, but still that doesn't stop you to go watch the real Michael Jackson if you got a chance.

What if i dont get a chance? Well the only 2 obstacle i can see is 1) Internet connection, bandwidth, latency; 2) The subscription; First of all, my house line is kind of sucks, 300 - 900 ms depends on my line, but still i believe leveling shouldnt be a problem, be frank, to my suprised, Wodnet is more lagging for me compared to Gorgonesh. If the subscription is your problem, then you may take your journey one at a time, firstly make a WOW original trial account so that you can have 10 days free trial game play, then subscript to the WOW original, which cost me around RM60, as well as free 1 month game play, then it took me RM70 additional to upgrade to WOW Burning Crusade, which allow me to leveling over level 60. Then it cost me RM110 to buy up 2 months time card to allow me 2 months game play. As you can see, you dont have to payout everything in 1 shot, take your time and advance according to your pace.

So, what do you able to achieve from the first day you play? Well, its almost 40 days since i started my trial (10 trial + 30 days free) Beside able to level up till level 62, I am now, having 3200 gold at my alternate (Dont hack me), 4 Merciles gear (s2) as well as Epic Land mount. A a small twink to my gear through buying at the auction house. How do you leveling so fast? I follow a free guide name" Jame's Horde Leveling Guide". Any addon do you use? I use Catographer and Questhelper while leveling, i use Auctionner and Postal while doing auction. How do you earn so much of gold? Auction house. How to you get 4 Merciles gear? No life.

Why do you boastful of your own achievement? Because i just get killed by 2 ally and cant continue leveling. Why dont you try to kill them back? Because there's no %^&%* way i can kill them with my level and gear.

Anyhow, thats it for today update, i'll post up more.

FAREWELL IMMOCOS - HIDDEN

Farewell Immocos

Hi all, this is Hidden here, i am very proud of the way the guild going on and i am confident that the current member will be able to expand the guild culture to another level.

After making so many decisions regarding the guild matter, i would like to offer the opportunity to some younger player to take up more responsibilities. Therefore, i am officially handling over my Guild master authority to my brother Whisperwind until a better candidate is found.

As many of you knew, i am currently in the middle of leveling my retail hunter and gonna start my arena journey with my retail friends, i believe it is time for me to step up from private server scene to retail. Who knows, i may be able to create ChildrenofShadow in retail too. I am currently playing in US Gorgonesh server, fyi, our members, Gangsta, Siaolaokoong, Aries, Molyporph etc is all player there.

About Wodnet

I see wodnet as a good stepping stone if you are somehow new to the game, or as a good relaxing server if you are off from the retail game, and wanna experience those godly weapon / gears. The GM has been friendly and dedicated in many games. I wish the server all the best and may it become one of the best private server in the world. By leaving the game, i am also resigning my post as Wodnet forum Moderator effectively today as i already stated my last post here:

http://www.wodnetserver.com/viewtopic.php?p=20592#20592

To guild member of Immocos

It's good to see players to grow with the game, i've seen player learn English through wow, started from mandarin only to broken English, i've seen player learn responsibility though guild matters, i have seen newbie became competitive (Parakang especially) and i regret that i dont spend so much time with new fellow guild mates, E.g. Alto, Grath etc. Many happy moment i've spend through my game play. The guild will not have today's influence in the server if not because of these people: Kille, Rowene, Gangsta, Hellknight, Left, Pott and many more. Its hard for me to explain how i feel right now, just wish everyone all the best and please assist in expanding the guild and its philosophy.

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”

Guild Blog

I spend a lot of time in building this blog and i will somehow continue to learn blogging. Since Rowene and Nelson will be inactive from the game, i will require a new Blog witter to cover any wodnet or guild issue. While. i will try to perform coverage to the retail game. If you are interested, you may contact Whisperwind or his alternate for this matter.

Bye

I will still be around especially the blog, so dont be so sad. Farewell to Rowene as well, and i am sure she will around once a while. Do contact me at ady6.nai@gmail.com / 012 2656864 / msn: ady6.nai@hotmail.com, Real name: Stephan Chan.

Hidden (Ex Guildmaster)

FAREWELL IMMOCOS - ROWENE

Pls read

It has been around 4 months since i started play WoW. Time really flies. I remember Immocos was a small guild back then. But now, it has grown into an established and well known guild in Wodnetserver. Maybe because of this, my job here is done. I can leave peacefully without any worries. To my dearest friends in Immocos, i bid you all the best and good luck. I'll always remember our friendships. Thank you very much my friends. This will be my last post.

Good bye Immocos.

LEAVE GUILD WITHOUT INFORM

Pls Read

"Any of the members who have their alternate character in another guild without prior notification will get all their character kick out from the guild. Some of you might yell what is so big deal with this guild, well, the guild start off with some grounding policy, follow or leave. I am trying to be lenient to everyone but i hope people understand the reason why such policy implemented in the first place."

http://childrenofshadow.blogspot.com/2008/06/announcement-june-26-2008.html

After multiple pledge from guild members, i consider allowing our member R to join back the guild on 1 condition:

• Farm 1,000 Netherweave Cloth and sent to Hidden by or before 15 August, 2008
• Guild member might provide help if they want to, so if u think happy family then help him then
• No Netherweave Cloth, membership will be forfeited then.

Again to everyone, if you intend to leave the guild either main / alt / all character, please ensure that you inform officer in guild, and to ensure this officer is to channel to message to guild master. I maybe seldom in game nowadays, but i am still pretty much active at the blog / forum etc.

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”

Playing with talent calculators

Source: www.wowinsider.com

Now that the NDA has been lifted from the official Alpha testing, and Beta is beginning, there's some real information out there about what the various classes' talent trees might look like. Of course, anything is subject to change, but it seems as though some classes, hunters and paladins

If you'd like to play around with your could-be future talent tree, both Wowhead and MMO Champion have updated their talent calculators to reflect the information revealed from the Alpha once the NDA lifted.

in particular, are getting a much-needed overhaul.

WotF (Will of Forsaken)

Remove fear,sleep. for charm i still not sure until now.
it does give immunity to fear/charm/sleep 5 sec after activated, like it should, but wodnet WoW, NO! but i conform 100% it does break fear/sleep.

I duel with hidden always.. just his stun shot make me piss off. after i realize its break sleep, so i kept it in some situation against Hidden. lucky him always stun me when im just 'break' out the sleep. Proc is quite HIGH. Fyi Hidden my WotF now use shorcut "R". no longer need click . LOL LOL LOL. Im miss duel with u. For all rogue who duel Hidden now/future, do not give him even slightest opening, or u will stun there to death. AFAIK Flare 30 sec dur. 30 sec cd. Count till 27/28 charge sprint for Gouge, just break ur stealth when u charge, or u want to wait till tmrw waiting his flare worn out.lol.

Vanish > cheapshot > hemo > kidneyshot.

Hidden sure trinket kidneyshot, sure. and he wil scattershot. trinket fast or u will end up death, i really had a bad experience wit this u know. Blind is the answer.. else will be in ur favour. no worry.

Easy on paper right?
Try urself and u'll know how hard is this. Counterattack, trap (can evade it, just carefull), stun shot (i dunno what name) I still learn Hunter spec from internet. from frens account.

WODNET HALL OF FAME

Pls Read

I started playing Wodnet almost like 7 - 9 months ago, can't really remember, and back was the day when everything is so pure and green. Everyone just started at that time, including me. We started in Horde side with a few of us, migrating from another private server, starting new.

There was a Hordie at that time, which is very helpful to everyone, some of us, like to call him "Tuk", in another word, means grandpa. The reason why he is old because he has been with the server for quite some times, probably from the start. He is friendly nonetheless, bringing all the newbie to raid, sharing information, tips, and strategy, even though we are not in the same guild.

Well, indeed he help people from all the guild. He help with Gem, enhancement, engineering scope, profession, you name it. Well, i am not writing this just to flash back and tell you all this, i am writing this at least to pay tribute to one of the most influential and controversial horde player at all time. We call him Granpa of Horde.

He did get banned on one fine day, probably not his first ban, but certainly the first permanent ban he received. Day by day passed by and it is like almost few months later, i believe most of us will never understand and believe of what happened. But i would like to take this opportunity to at least Hall of Fame this person for his contribution to the Horde and to the server, he may be hacking but he indeed instrumental in building the horde community today.

I am in no way to represent the whole Horde or server to say thank you, but after the ban he seems to be no more playing the game, at least not this server. To all the Hordie out there, please help and assist your new Hordie out there, press on with the spirit which he left us.

BLOG WRITTER

Pls Read

Hi, this is Hidden here, glad to see new recruitment for the guild. The reason for this post is to announce the opening of Guild Blog Writter position, along with me, Nelson and Rowene.

Since both me and Nelson will be semi active in the game, i will need additional coverage for the game. I would need someone (in the guild) to work hand in hand with us to provide info and entertainment to the audience of the blog. You may take the chance to learn on blogging.

Please contact me, or my brother (Whisperwind, Grathuras or many of his alt.) and i will get back to you.

ANNOUNCEMENT JULY 7, 2008

Pls Read

Hi, Rowene here. Since Hidden has been busy and away for sometime, i think i should write a report on the major events that happened in our guild.

1. First of all, i think most of you all are aware that most of the bugs in the game are fixed, thanks to the dedicated staffs of Wodnet Team. Server now are also more stable with less dc compare to last time. Recently Zulkapan also announced the opening of new city in the server, the Wodnet City which is situated in Darkshore, Kalimdor. Its currently under development and are inaccessible by players for now.

2. I've invited several new members into our guild, some are new to WoW, some from other private server and some are the veteren players of Wodnet server. Please welcome them warmly and offer them help and guidance if needed. New members of Immortaliz, it's a requirement to register yourself for guild forum using your main character IGN. For new members who need gears, please inform officers or veteren of the guild to arrange a guild raid for you. If none is available, feel free to post a thread in the guild forum. We'll try to reply ASAP.

3. As the officer of CoS, i think it's time pvp branch of the guild open up for recruitment. I currently have several names of members which i think are qualified for the exam. They are Evelinda, Grafh, Keldric, Totoro, Kusanagix and Burr. For those who are listed, please see Chrille or Whisperwind or Grathuras for CoS examination. You'll be valued through your pvp skills. I hope to see you all in CoS, all the best and good luck.

4. Lastly, i've just received a phone call this morning from my former secondary school's principal. I've been offered a job as temporary teacher and i'll start my post this thursday so maybe i'll be less active in game after that. If you guys need help to invite your friends into our guild, i suggest you send me or Chrille their IGN through wow mail and we'll add them in.

That's all for this week.

ANNOUNCEMENT JUNE 26, 2008

Pls Read

I am sadden that some of the guild member's alternate leave the guild without any prior notification. Leaving a guild without informing is deem disrespect to the person who invite you. There is a guild policy where all the person main or alternate character must remain with either Immortaliz and COS, the policy is grounded since the birth of the guild, therefore, it is mean to stay.

Any of the members who have their alternate character in another guild without prior notification will get all their character kick out from the guild. Some of you might yell what is so big deal with this guild, well, the guild start off with some grounding policy, follow or leave. I am trying to be lenient to everyone but i hope people understand the reason why such policy implemented in the first place.

Thirdly, only like 3 days i never online and suddenly its like a riot. What is the officer and veteran ranks players doing? Do not know the guild policy? Dont you being ask to have all your character to be invited to the guild prior to joining the guild. If you see something, seek for clarification, do not wait until i see it myself. If everyone can leave the guild without informing and as well as having their alternate every where in other guild, then why i bother to have all character to be invited to the guild in the first place.

I cherish the people who are with us, i have rejected people to join the guild because they refuse to have all their character all in, also to be fair for those people who have all their character faithfully in the guild, what is happening now is unacceptable.

It is either to have all your character join back to the guild or have your character remain in the guild kick out from it. Or if you want, you can leave the guild as you wish. You might not happy with the way i say this, what i say is not new, it have been brief to you all before. Please take some time and think about it, i am happy with everyone that i invited to the guild, what i see is a really accomplish community we have, i do not wish to have people leaving the guild with bad experience. Note: i am trying best to accommodate every one to have their friends and family to be all invited to the guild, but please, you have to give me time, i already mentioned, what is so hard to wait until July? And if really interested to join the guild, why join another in the first place. All guild members and your friends, please take note on the above.

OUR GUILD AT WODNET

Pls Read

Just realize another private server got some rules, which puzzle me and hard to understand why. In their site they wrote:

Illegal Actions and Manipulation of Game Mechanic:

1) YOU attacking someone else while YOU are mounted
2) Using macros to spam the effects of spells, attacks, items, etc.

Firstly, since i never play that server before, i do not fully capable of picturing the meaning of attacking someone while mounted. Quite likely that they have a bug where they can shot while on mount, so cant shoot people when your on a mount? If thats the case, i would greatly accepted the rules, or else, people all flying on netherdrake and shooting from top, hunter will be the coolest class to ride a griffon and shoot arrow while flying. I'm a hunter and i hope i can relish the opportunity of doing so.

Secondly, since i am a heavy user of macro, i am gonna comment on the usage of macro. I do not see any problem in using macro to spam spell, as even in retail, macro is legally accepted as a tool to assist players in the game playing process. The only possible reason why they restricted players from spamming macro, it is either spamming of macro will likely to result in some kind of bug, or the server would like to save me from having to buy new keyboard time to time. In my opinion, if macro and add-on is legally accepted by Blizzard, please take the extra effort to learn at least the basic usage of these helpers as it would greatly assist your game play and provide a different dimensional to your game play.

As why i am able to refer to another server rules and regulations, because some of their players or GM's keep spamming and seeking attention from the players of Wodnet and i took some of my time to actually look through their website. While i dont see any problem to have another private server competing and trying to pinch wodnet players, as i believe t will only benefits general players like us to have a better gaming experience, i do not like their tactics of posting advertisement at wodnet and i see it very lame. Credit to that server for trying their best to pinch players from wodnet, but i dont feel like wanna create Immortaliz and COS there just yet.

The guild has progress much in wodnet since its start at Wodnet. We have greatly above our progression forecast in terms of both, guild size and stability. The bigger a ship, the better it float, nonetheless, it required a balance navigation and total commitment from the ship crew to sail it save and sound across the fiery ocean. Obviously, one of our sailor fall sick recently and failed to fulfill its role. However, upon rest and heal, he shall be fit to resume its role, with full commitment.

FISHING EXPLORATION

Pls Read

Well, it started out as a normal fishing trip where we gathered at Ratchet for some fish. After almost like 2 hours, we get bored and Rathalos suggest to swim out to the sea to seek for some exploration.



3 of us swim out started to swim out the open ocean. Astonishingly, we found a sinking shipwreck somewhere not far from the shore. We then dive in and looking for any survivor in the ship. But it seems that skeleton also don't have, the shark nearby must be very hungry.



Not far from the shipwreck, we found one of its cargo floating on the sea. Then we decided to do some fishing. A few minutes later, we decided to swim to one of the nearest island. There, we found a fishing community, and they are very friendly, the local tell me that they sell "ikan masin" there.



Not far from the fishing village, we found a big redundant ship there at port. Once inside the ship only we realize that it is a pirate ship and the pirate crew is at the nearby bar drinking bear. Since no body at the ship, we sneaked in and found several treasure chests. But we are unable to open these treasure chest, too bad, since we heard footsteps getting closer, and pirates are coming back to the ship, to avoid conflict, we flee from the ship.



Not too far from the ship, we found the possible legendary sea monster name "Isha awak", weired name. Nonetheless, we kill the monster. After killing the monster we swam further and found a undersea cave. There are piranha there, scary. And we are being trapped inside the cave.



After some further exploration, we are escape to go up to the surface. It seems that the cave is the underwater entrance to a underground prison of some militia who used to occupy the place.
There is a deserted village nearby possibly which possibly could be the base of some terrorist. Meanwhile, we did found some clue on the identity of the terrorist group in one of the meeting room. From the imprint of the flag, we are quite confident that the base was once the gorilla place of the "Axe gang". There are further evidence that it is a place of slaughter and interrogation of prisoner as we still can see slaughtering table covered with dry blood.



Soon, we are able to find an underground sewer which lead us to a room full with casket. Near the casket, we found the dead body of "Varian Wrynn" the King of Stormwind. The body is well preserve with some unknown alchemy. We concluded that the Axe gang terrorist is the organization who is responsible in breaking in and stealing the King tomb back in 1970's when Hip hop just started. And the gang flee from the base in the hurry and abandon the King body. They seems to only take away the previous items which buried together with the King. We then decided that we should blown the place to allow the King and other spirit to rest in peace, hence we planted C4 at one of the support pillar outside the underwater cave.




Kaboom!!! We blown up the place to pieces and continue to do fishing. Before we go back to Shattrah City, we transform into Murloc and took a picture as to remember our exciting exploration.
