Yeah, there is a pretty nuts one for raiding which allows you to check what buffs everyone has or is missing, ready check, warlock summon queue, class chat in guild, and raid search which allows you to do things like check for any mages online with 2k health. I guess he got a t2 set and 30,000 gold for it. Hell some guy paid him 3,000 gold for a measly chat filter. I have a feeling these are paid for by people not on Emerald Dream.

This may have gotten lost in the whole ZOMG THE LOGIN SERVER IS DOWN, but it's pretty much the best thing ever, especially when accompanied by the old class threads. If you have python on your computer it's definitely worth a download.

Thanks, you're the first person who has found it useful besides myself. If I get really ambitious at some point I'll turn it into a web page where you can paste a URL and get forwarded the wowprovider calc

High for a private server. There's always people running around, and the AH is healthy. In fact yesterday there was a queue to grab bingles supplies, because there were 5 people doing the quest at once.

Edit: Just checked the ED forums, someone claimed 700 at peak times.

This makes me want to reroll a paladin so much right now. But what about raiding? Still have the porn watching potential of leveling?

Sounds pretty awesome, I might have to check it out when I get home. Is there a good repository for all the old vanilla mods like discord unit frames and enemy cast bars?

I think when I get home it might be time to roll out with a new paladin or dwarf priest.

I've been trying out DocUI, I've used Photek in the past. I have the zip for Photek if you want it, though there might be a link somewhere.

Ultimagely, I say roll whatever you really want to roll. That being said, we've had a ton of people roll pallys and priests for some reason. Now could be your chance to role a huntard or rogue or some dps class if you really want to do that. Hell I be we could even use another warrior at this point.

I don't know, I played a paladin from 1.3 through whatever the last patch of cataclysm was and after trying all the different classes it was always my favorite. Maybe I am just a masochist though.

If you're a masochist, play a druid. Also stay in Teldrassil until you advance to Darkshore rather than getting summoned (or making the Wetlands run) to Ironforge. Have fun in the firbolg den!

What we need are 60's, not classes. Roll what you will have the most fun with and will therefore be most likely to get to 60.

The advice I usually give is play something most unlike anything you played in retail. (Play a mage in retail? Roll Warrior or Rogue. Play a hunter? Make a priest, etc.)

I tried to register and that was down as well, so it's not just you. I imagine they are having network problems or something. For the people who play regularly, how often does the server have issues with login?

Or is it totally down?

Supposedly it has been pretty solid for the past several months, but ever since I started about 2 weeks ago it's been flaky as hell.

Seems to work fine during Euro prime time and works like poo poo during US prime time. If you can find a window where the log-in server is up long enough to log in, then it's fine and you stay connected, but finding those windows is getting more and more difficult.

It seems like in general downtime happens sparingly. However, for the past few days they have had some issues with their hosting.

Emerald Dream Admin posted:

I have a remote desktop app on my iPhone that basically lets me take care of most problems when they occur in my timezone, regardless of where I am. But again, if I can't remote desktop into the bloody thing then all I can do is pester our host. And believe me, much pestering is happening at this moment. That's all I'm doing when I'm not here reading all of the wonderful comments of support and understanding.

From the sound of it, I hope they look into getting a new host sometime.

Theres an incredibly easy way to know when the server is available, at least in this circumstance. If https://www.wow-one.com loads, then you can login. If it doesnt, then you cant.

If it does load but you cant get in, then the server is probably lying in a ditch somewhere.
