Jan 05, 2009 - 4:57 PM - by shoupz | |
Okay, some of you may know the donations went up a little. The reason for this is Bandwidth. This last week has been amazing, however, bandwidth is not cheap. The server has been pulling 30Mbps on average 24 hours a day, during peak hours, this hits around 50Mbps with people on. Last month, we hit about 1.6TB of Bandwidth, the server only allows me to hit 1.5TB a month. Bandwidth overages are not cheap, think of them as minutes on a cellphone. When you go over your minutes, they cost more. At this rate, it seems like we'll be going over each month, but since Bandwidth is sold in TB's, I'll have to pay an extra $50 a month for 1TB of extra Bandwidth to keep the servers going. As some of you may noticed, this morning, the Bandwidth got capped to 10Mbps, but unmetered, that means a lot of Bandwidth, but the speed is capped. You guys may have noticed the huge lag going on. The average latency was around 700. The cap got removed, so we're back using a full speed port, but capped Bandwidth. I prefer the capped Bandwidth over the Port, since I can always pay more for Bandwidth if we go over. Thank you for understanding, and keep having fun on the servers! Tell your friends to join you! It's always more fun if you play with friends you know!

Small update for today. Some items got added into the Wotlk Regant Vendor. You can now use Emblems to trade for Halaa Tokens through the Currency Exchange Vendor. You can PvP in the Ring of Trials for Halaa Tokens. Gurubashi is just there, if you want, you can try to move them into Outlands to keep the server from suffering lag from everyone being at Guru and Stormwind. It's on the same map, so that is why. Overpopulated 80's sitting around showing off their epics and stroking their epeens. Level Rates are 25x, for people that are asking. More people complaining about this, and it will get nerfed down to about 5-10x. Some spells got disabled due to major bug issues or heavy exploits. If you would like a twink, in the 19, 29, or 39 area, send in a ticket, however you must be under level 10. If you are level 80 and want to delevel, make a new character. GMs will not delevel you. only about 50-75 players out of the 200-500 we have, go ahead and tell the people logged on.
Also, 2 Proto-Drakes have been added to the vote rewards. Keep voting @ Shoupz Vote Control Panel
Since a few people wanted this back...

Happy New Year! Okay, some things. There was a Companion Pet Vendor to celebrate the New Year here @ Shoupz WoW. People that were on got them. I might have it spawned later today. Another thing! Death Knights, you guys now have a vendor for Level 55+ Weapons. There are 2 vendors for you guys, weapons are Level 55-69. Enchanters! That is also good for you, now you can have Pre-BC Mats up to TBC Mats. That means Twinks will come to you for Enchants, meaning more Emblems for more recipes. I noticed there was more spam last night. GMs can not be on 24/7. I did mention a couple times in game that I had a CAPS FILTER set up. I turned it on. The Anti-Spam system has been turned on. You can only type in CAPS if your word is 4 letters or less. If you have more then 4 letters, your CAPS are limited to 20% of the message. If a player wishes to spam with macros through the channel, your account will get locked out from the channel for 1 hour, then your account will automatically be muted, meaning you can't switch characters and start again. You will need to make a new account and try again, get locked out, make a new account and try again, and get locked out. If you keep this up, you're just showing everyone you have no life, and your life is pretty sad if you sit in a game spamming stuff all day. Well, that's all for today. Happy New Year!
Gurubashi Arena is still open, however, you do not get anything for playing there. The Ring of Trials have open up, and you get Halaa Battle Tokens. The Ring of Trials is located in Nagrand, in Outlands. It has been scripted to drop 1 x Halaa Battle Token. You can trade these in for Emblems. 100 x Halaa Battle Tokens will get you 10 Emblems. These are 100% drops on each kill of the OPPOSITE FRACTION and will be spawned in your bag. At least here, anyone can fly, and kill those annoying mages that need to find a cheap way to win. Have fun!

First of all, Happy New Years Eve, and for some people, Happy New Year. Shoupz SM has started some progress. Here is some more information. Shoupz SM is a 10-Player Raid. You will need 10 players, 8 or 9 if you guys are really organized, know what your doing and using Ventrilo or something. Is is recommended to have 2-3 healers, 1 main tank, 1 off-tank, and 4-5 DPS. Only the bosses have been put in. Trash mobs will be added in later. The bosses drop 2 types of Emblems. One is the Heroism, which is used as currency for professions. The other is Valor, which will be used later on as a currency. Heroism drops anywhere from 10-40 off the bosses, so your guarantee some Emblems when you run for Heroism. Valor drops anywhere from 1-10, these will be harder to obtain, and may be used for customs later on. These Emblems will drop in stacks, so the groups will need to decide how they are going to split them. Don't worry, they are not BoP. They are tradable, mailable, sellable. All the recipe vendors have been done and put in. They all require Emblem of Heroism. Also, rods also got put in the WotLK Regant Vendor, they also require Emblem of Heroism. One more thing, PvP for Emblems now accepts AB Marks and just plain Honor Points. So now you have a choice to WSG, AB, or just plain PvP for honor. Res donars, if you get caught killing and ressing alts, you will have your powers stripped, and will get the honor for emblems removed for everyone on the server.

Not much was done today, since I was gone most of the day. A few things here and there were patched up. I have gotten a WotLK Regant Vendor up. That means, you do not need to farm for WotLK materials. This only applies for Enchanters, Miners, Herbalists, and Jewel Crafting. Since those materials are given to you, I have nerfed the profession rate down to 2 points per level. You no longer get 10 points per level. Glyph Vendors have been done and added. You can find them in Orgrimmar or Stormwind. Half of them are bugged and just don't work, while the other half are working. These are being worked on, and will take time to finish. Warriors Rage is now working again, thank you for complaining all day about it. Arenas are bugged right now, so I will need to postpone the Arena Event for awhile until that gets fixed up. It is causing too many client crashes, not server crashes, and it messes up peoples ratings. A huge special THANK YOU to Himmler and Sante for donating a large amount to cover the rest of February's donations. We now have February paid off. I think that's about it for tonight, I'm tired as hell.
I will get started on the Recipe Vendors. I have already planned out how this will be done. I have the currency set up and everything. You will need to PvP right now for Emblems. Only WSG Marks are tradable will be tradable for Emblems. 10 WSG Marks and 1,530 Honor Points will get you 20 Emblems. Emblems will be use as a currency, that is tradable. These Emblems may be used to purchase Recipes from the Recipe Vendors. Each Recipe will cost 10 Emblems to purchase.
The Emblem Vendor has been set up in both Orgrimmar and Stormwind. There is a WSG Portal right next to it for easy access to WSG.
GM Island has been removed to the public. It has been removed from the Pocket Teleporter. The reason for this is, most of the new players are crying and whining about lag, when your the ones that caused it. PvPing on a small island will of course lag down the server if you have 50+ players there all trying to kill eachother. The trainers that were there have been moved to Orgrimmar and Stormwind. There is also Death Knight Trainers in Orgrimmar and Stormwind.

Well, a few things tonight/morning. First of all, due to so many people complaining about WindFury and Shamans, WF has been nerfed down. Another thing is, Rated Arenas are working again. We will hold a competition for Rated Arenas. The top 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 team will get an exclusive item. PvP Flags are working in BG's now. No one can unflag or deflag while in a battleground, such as WSG, AB, AV, EOTS, Arenas. Since we have to level professions, I finished spawning all the Northend Nodes, and finished up the loot tables. You can now mine in Northend and get your ores and gems. Loot tables for Disenchantment will take such a long time to finish up, since I have to go through every item, and make loot tables for them, I will create a custom vendor for Enchanting materials, but only WotLK Enchanting mats. You will still need to earn all the ones before that. We almost hit 300 players today, we were around 280 ish, but that is pretty good for the 2-3 day of this overnight boom happening. For the people that haven't been here, the server has been dead for weeks, at peak hours, we would get 20 players, now we're pulling 100 on average on a 24 hour scale. Keep those bug reports coming in. At least one thing gets fixed up here each day. There will be a global profession trainer that will train you the trade skill and nothing else. I know some trainers are bug when it comes to teaching "Journeyman" "Expert" "Artisan" "Master" "Grand Master" so I will hav a custom trainer for those ranks only. Also, since Inscription is new, and you can't really do much with it, I will have a new custom vendor soon with Glyphs that you can buy.

The server is back to the way it was. The fun is back. People are PvPing at Gurubashi. Noobs are yelling over LFG. The Pros are working on their Arena Ratings. The guild chat is fun. Idiots are back, some old people are back, but meh, it's all about the people that stayed and the new players. A few things here, stablity is here. The server has been going and staying up for long periods of times. There are no more memory leaks, even though I check every now and then for them. Most mounts work, spells are getting fixed up. Crashes don't really happen unless I force a restart to the server to add new things in or fixes, or if someone finds a new crash somewhere. Death Knights, you guys are lucky tonight. I worked on a script to get the Elbon Hold teleporters to work. Now you can go up and down levels to get your quests done, and all that mumbo jumbo. There is still a lot of DK work left to do, but that was higher on my priority since DKs were complaining about their trainers. For donars, the recall port is ".recall dkstart". There were almost 200 players on the servers yesterday, while things were getting intense, Me, Laev, Rem, Cory, Kanye took care of most of it during the day, and at night Me, Kanye and Bobeth were taking care of the night group. Congratulations to Fail for winning a donar account, given away by Cory. Even though we have a bunch of new people, they're not as bad as the other people we had before. Everything feels new right now, and people are having a blast.
There are custom global trainers on GM Island, however, they do not provide you with all the spells you need. For your complete list of spells, head over to the original trainers, located in your major cities, and they will teach you all the spells up to WotLK.
There are rewards added to the Vote Control Panel. To vote, simple go Shoupz Vote Control Panel
I will be adding more rewards as the days go by.
Currently at the moment, there is the Spectral Tiger Mount, and a Custom T-Shirt with +25 Stats.

Okay, day was fun. I thought I would never see people PvPing at Gurubashi, but it happened, people were actually PvPing there like old times. I listened to peoples complaints today, bugs, and such, and yeah, fixed some, and made some temporary fixes. Druid Trainers were bugged, Warrior Stances were missing, and some other stuff, yeah yeah yeah. There is now a Global Trainer on GM Island, it will only teach you the highest rank spells. It will not teach you spells in between ranks. It has Druid Spells in there, along with Warrior Stances, and every other class, including DKs. For Dual Wield, please go to your proper trainers. The Custom Trainers will not teach you that due to some conflicts with other classes. If you are missing spells from that "Global Trainer" go to your proper trainers located in their original locations. Mount vendors should work properly, along with all other vendors, you will need to find them. I added two new vendors in, the old "Bag - Container" Vendor, and the "Projectile" Vendor. I also finished up all the templates for the vendors, except for the trade skill recipes/formulas. That's pretty much the update for today. Remember, flag at your own risk on GM Island.
Also, Cory will announce the winner later today, so stay tuned.
If you are a Shaman, missing your "GENERAL" spells, SUBMIT A TICKET. We will manually reset your spells for you, or you can simple recreate your Shaman. | |
