What's the story behind this post?

In a bid to promote the game, one of the developers took to doing a live stream called "Zero to Fifty" in which he would level a character from start to finish. However the developer playing didn't live up to the standards expected of such a HAARRDCOOOOORE gaming community so they kept shitpanning it. Now they're pulling the plug.

Making an official stream so people can watch you repeatedly level MMO characters is already pretty brain damaged. But having to pull it because of technical difficulties? That's exceptional!~

Did the Horde goon guild ever set foot into a raid? I'm pretty sure Space Jam did not.

I think towards the end of the guild's life, the few people left organized a big expedition to track down the few world bosses that weren't bugged (including going into Exile territory to kill theirs), and to contest that PVP Contamination world event that had rotating bosses (because at that point the server was horribly outnumbered to Exile which made doing it any other way impossible), so that people could finish their attunements.

I think in the end there were in theory enough warm bodies such that, ignoring composition, we would have been allowed to enter the raid instance, but by then people had burned out and only like 17 out of 20 showed up on the few nights we did try.

I think we sent some people to go raid with a non-goon guild who were in the same situation of almost being able to experience raid content, but I wouldn't know because I quit to go play a non-hardcore MMO without these problems.

The ridiculous attunement taught me nothing about learning to raid. The interrupt armor circlejerk taught me nothing about learning to raid. What taught me about raiding were: patient raid leaders, boss ability overviews, and consistently being able to actually try the raid on multiple difficulties with roughly the same group of people.

Yeah, thus the boobs with jiggle physics that put everyone at risk of getting black eyes by running. You can turn that and the baby oil skin off, at least.

There were a handful of us that made it to the second floor of GA. Then that guild dissolved too and everyone quit. I think Destoration soldiered on with Zoness' group until they folded too.

I do miss the nights of raid leaders trying to pronounce CubeTwoK's name. Cube Toke, Cube Thwok, Quebbit tee Wok.

It might be the opposite. Shareholders may see how well NCSoft's other IP is doing and start viewing WS as dead weight.

"Clearly, the game is recovering. Also as clearly, it's not recovering nearly fast enough for everyone. But the recovery is there. New subs are being made every day. New players are stepping foot into the game, and playing long enough to get to Illium and talk in zone chat. And this is the Dominion side. I can only imagine what kind of revival is going on over on the Exiles!"

I saw my warplot. Little known fact, you could teleport straight to your house from your warplot so it could act as a second home hearth for when the primary was on cooldown.

This is the only reason I saw a warplot.

I like to imagine the person saying this in a slightly manic way that gets more manic and desperate as he goes on, while he holds a mostly-ash cigarette in one shaking hand.

I know some guilds coordinated a warplot seeing expedition, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened a handful of times. Apparantly they were nigh unplayable due to lag issues.

I liked the old Alterac Valley. Something about the back and forth with all the NPC forces and side objectives along with the massive frontline battle made it the most fun I've ever had in WoW PVP. Shame they butchered it.
