They already said that they are having issues with their provider and are working on a solution. We will just have to be patient I think.

So far my experience on the server has been pretty good. I'm only a level 13 Warlock but I haven't run into any significant problems, or really any problems that I can think of other than the spottiness of the server/login server being up.

So don't let that get you down on the server.

A rocket fuel made of Doritos? Yeah, I could kind of see it.
The Feenix team has revealed their provider was having some software trouble on a central router or something.

Official announcement:
http://www.wow-one.com/forum/topic/37041-information-connectivity-issue/page__view__findpost__p__285655

I've found that I can log in and connect fine, but get stuck loading character lists. I just had to be patient and ended up waiting two or three minutes until my character loaded. Another few minutes for a slow initial load into the world. However, now that I'm in I am having no problems.

In the end, just be patient!

The bank site is sort of working now! The banker's inventories haven't been organized / given bags, but I'll get them organized better sometime soon.

<lets get weird> Bank

I've been thinking about putting together an addon/batch file/website conglomeration that would let people view the bank inventory in-game. Not really sure if that would be useful though.

I wrote a python script that can decode wowhead talent build links from the old vanilla threads and turn them into wowprovider URLs

http://pastebin.com/LsXTxgbb

So I decided to give this a shot, except I have no idea how to use it. I opened the text file in Python and and clicked on run module. Then I got a syntax error. I am guessing I did something wrong or have the wrong version. I used version 3.3.0 I believe.

It has been years since I even thought of Python, and I don't remember anything about it. Any help would be appreciated.

It takes the encoded blob of data from the old wowhead link as a command line parameter. You'll have to figure out how to do that with whatever environment that is. If it's running at all it should output "usage: blah"

You run it from the command line. Just think of the .py file as an executable in terms of how you interact with it. Also, in my case at least, running the script using 3.3 threw a syntax error, but 2.7.0 runs it fine.

Here is an example of the usage:


Also note there that the 'blob' that mewse is referring to is the part that comes after the '?talent=' parameter list in a wowhead URL. So like:
code:
wowhead-URL/?talent=BLOB-RIGHT-HERE

Thanks. This makes a lot of sense. Finally got it to work. I was trying to use the GUI interface for python and not seeming to understand how to enter the proper information in the proper way, but I got it now.

Changing versions was also helpful.

Nice work.

Can we, uh, clear out the stuff like "Enter the emerald dream", "hearthstone" and random other things?

Sure, of course. No one has really setup the bankers yet, but naturally that stuff will be deleted for space/clarity.

Also if anyone is goofy enough to want it, I changed (hacked) up the good 'ole Rebirth status checker program for Emerald Dream.

All original credit of course to Mr. AotC.


Emerald Dream Status Checker


edit:
Made a few fixes to filenames, etc. Here is the source so that I'm don't run afoul of the GPL (Goon Public License). Sadly feenix doesn't accept pings and doesn't show a live player count. So really the only changes I made were removing that functionality and pointing the application at the Emerald Dream server.

Why do I keep doing this to myself?
Maxdecay here, for those who remember me from the private TBC server not to long ago.

After much hard work, I managed to transfer over the Gag mod files over into the vanilla version: the terribly named LeeroyHillCatsPower.

For those who don't this mod allows you to type in chat commands and it will make a message, emote and play a sound clip. The cool thing about this is that anyone else who has this mod will also hear the sound clip and perform the emote. So, for example, typing in /win will make you cheer and play the final fantasy music, or /party1 will play part of "Party Hard" while dancing.

To be fair though, most people will use it to annoy each other with linkin park and silly anime music.

You can get it here:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/738esptmrdfz/n/LHCP_exe

Yes, it is huge.

All you have to do is run the .exe and point it at your Addon folder. This thing is pretty much cobbled together so some clips might not work. It does feature a quiet mode that turns it off, and seems to have some kind of raid functionality that I have yet to mess with so you can set it automatically to off in raids. "/lhcp list" will print out all the commands that it recognizes, but until I find a way to fix it it has more characters than allowed to be in a chat window at one time so there is alot of names cut off.

Finally, if you do decide to download this (and you should, its alot of fun in groups) try to have a little restraint. As much fun as it is to spam nyan cat 1000 times on your party it doesn't do much for other peoples enjoyment, and I want as many people as possible to have this mod on. So take it easy.

At the moment theres people in guild online at all times of the day. Same goes for the server as a whole. The best part of the server is the sheer population.

I just had an issue with the auction house. I put up an item, and later I got the "your auction of ____ has sold" notice, and an email icon. When I got to a mailbox, though, the letter didn't have any gold attached. I put in a ticket for the problem.

Anyone else have a similar issue with the AH? How good are the mods in responding to tickets?

Also as someone who played on Rebirth for a while, holy poo poo it's nice seeing people running around in the world. Being the only person in any given zone always kinda weirded me out.
