Trying to level a druid, currently level 8, sigh, gonna start the whole leveling nighmare again. I;ll try to enjoy it.

HEY ALL

Pls read

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,

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.

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.

SERVER HACKING

Pls Read

Well, Friday the thirteen is no more and yet the sadness of having our friends and gaming mate banned from the game is there for us to remember. While some of you aware of what is happening and some of you do not, i will hereby trying to explain the incident the best i can within the suitable context.

First of all, there is the problem of hackers. Some of us remember the experience of DOS attack on the game server back in March, 08, what happen by then is where hackers forcefully attack the server resulted in frequent disconnection. What uncovered this round is technically different as this time round, instead of hacking the server itself, they attacked the database. The outcome of this resulted in many unauthorized scripts, items, and spells being distributed around. I am not going to go into details on how serious the damage these violation brought to the balance of the game. You may take your time to imagine that.

These series of violations brought a long term damage to the game database. To halt the immediate crisis, the server have no choice but to roll back to the nearest backup point, unfortunately, these backup data is well corrupted due to the hacking. In a results, the server suffered a 2 days roll back.

This also lead to the banning of players involved in these damage, in total around 40 of them. Roll back is never welcome in any game. Raiding, reputation and level grinding, profession etc all being affected if you somehow hardworking that 2 days. To compensate for the loss of players, the server increase temporarily the experience and reputation rate to 150x for a short period of time.

Now, what is done is done. How are we going to avoid or minimize the re-occurrence of such incident? First of all, the players themselves play a vital role in tackling the problem. What players need to know is that hacking will ultimately result in messing up with the database. Hackers might get himself some uber gear or spells, getting some short term gain and fame. Unknowingly, these actions is destroying the stability of the server in the long run. So, if you love the game, love the server, you might as well do your part and distance yourself from hacking tools and programs.

There are not more than 6 active GM in the game. But averagely we have not less than 50 players minimum online in the game. Every players are well empowered to report on any suspicions and illegal event. If everyone hold to their own belief, i am sure there is no way or less successful a group of hacker is able to proceed with such illegal hacking.

As some of you might know, all the Guildmaster or their guild representative recently have an emergency meeting with GM- Zulkapan on numerous game issues. While some of the content i see it as confidential and therefore i choose not to reveal it here, some of it, i felt is vital for me to channel it to every guildmembers as well as non-guildmembers who browse the blog.

1) A new forum thread will be created and accessible mainly for GM, admin, guild representatives. More information will be channel to guild rep to disseminate to players hence reducing the burden of current GM workload and enable for more bug fixing, hack prevention etc.

2) Zul acknowledge the server's need for more Coder (C++) and GM's in the coming future. Recruitment campaign will be done possibly in the coming months.

3) Zul warn all players to avoid further hacking. NO excuses for players to prompt for even the
smallest hack (e.g. Emuhack). He mentioned that GM will no longer be lenient against hackers. No negotiation with terrorist just as no negotiation with hackers.

4) New website is in the middle of development, where more features will be added on.

Please show your respect and gratitude to those GM's who assist and ensure a smooth game. Most of them doing the job for free at their free time, which could be better use elsewhere. Donation in many ways support the server and its misc costs. In case some of you not aware of it, the Wodnet server is currently run on ascent core and it is now no more in support as ascent closed down recently. Expert is scripting most of the sunwell content himself based on the open ascent core. Before you questions the server on its commitment, do ask yourself on what you have done for the server.

WODNET ANTHEM (MALAYSIA EDITION)

From Chaostorm (Immortaliz):


Note: No disrespect to neither the Malaysia National Anthem, Wodnetserver as well as Expert :-)

RAT?

Pls Read

I always wonder, how come someone call himself Rat. Be it Rathalos or Ratheal, both name resembles the use of "Rat". Since Rathalos and his alt Ratheal joined our guild few weeks back, i try to dissect on every reason on why people use "Rat" as part of their name. While i am unable to proceed with any particular research on the phenomenon, i am determine to understand about rat.

Before i bring u further into the world of Rat, lets bring u some facts about Rat. Rats are distinguished from mice by their size; rats generally have bodies longer than 12 cm. The normal lifespan of rats ranges from two to five years, and is typically three years. Rat typically used by human as pets, as a subjects of scientific research or as food in some of the country. Describing a person as "rat-like" usually implies he is unattractive and suspicious (1).

However, the Rat (鼠) was welcomed in ancient times as a protector and bringer of material prosperity. It is an animal associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order. In the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of the Rat is associated with the earthly branch symbol (2).

So, what is my humble opinion on whether good rat or bad rat?

While watching the Euro 2008 match between France and Romania of Group D, i finally able to made up my conclusion. Having betting with my dad on this match, i was sitting in front of the tv, chasing the live televast game. I bet for Romania, having my dad taken France and giving me a half ball handicapped.

Romania played brilliantly against the odds by holding back France attack again and again (bertubi-tubi). One particular player that caught my eye is a Romanian right back name "RAT" (Razvan Dinca Rat). He is able to diffuse Florent Malouda and France attack consistently. Rat has established himself as Romania's first-choice left-back after he began his international career in January 2000 against Mexico. Not surprisingly for someone who started in the game as a midfield creator, he loves to push forward along the flank and is a highly skilled crosser of the ball (3). The match is a bored draw. But it does allow me to win RM10 of betting and the bragging rights at least for 1 night.

In view of that, i hereby concluded that Rat is never malicious. Rat is cute, friendly, can defend, dps and heal. I hereby also declare that Immortaliz and COS is an anti lab rat testing guild. Do not kill or harm rat in any of your experiment please.

Quoted from Mimy Hey bout dat RAT thingy actualy Rathalos is a name of a very2 strong male DRAGON in MonsterHunter. A female 1 called Rathian. I bet Rat is MH hardcore.

REGARDING BG

Pls Read

For those who don't read the server forum, i quoted the opinion of Hidden about the BG event.

" BG is suppose to be a team effort, awarding people base on top 1 - 3 kill is bias. First of all, reward base on kill make people greedy and not playing the way there should be. Eg. Druid / Shaman keep phew phew but refuse to heal teammate, Rogue walk alone to get prey instead of protecting caster or healer. Eventhought lately, prizes is also given to the healer, yet for those hybrid class who is not healing spec will not dedicate to help healing because they knew they are not able to top the healing chart compare to other main healer. Also there is the issue with Tanker in bg, It is always welcome to have such player on your side where they charge into the enemy line to disrupt their formation, eg warrior fear. So surely these people wont be able to get top kill, so they are fighting for nothing. There is the issue of fear or other bug who force people leave BG and hence resetting the killing or healing table. It aint fair as well. In my opinion, any BG event reward should be based on the whole team. Play flag. Yes there might be bastard who will go in and afking, therefore, the whole team have to seek for such people and report it to the event GM who is observing the game. There is no need to have heavy prize for every event, make a score thread in forum to update any win or lose by each faction in official event sanction or organized by GM, the ego of both faction will self run the event and to ensure every event is being participated by each faction. Event results should be part of the bragging rights. "
