New Wow Local Server

At least give it a chance people...

Too many self-righteous, anti-crime 'moral crusaders' on this forum. I say: more crime. Yes, you know who all I'm talking to.
 
a) if it's hosted on an 8 meg line it can afford a static IP address
b) why the hell does SA need yet another ****ing server.

This is typical of the South African mindset (of those who don't want to pay to play or can't afford to)

Listen. Contact each other, collaborate resources, get a decent server going for everyone on ONE system.

Stop pushing the 4 players that do join onto 4 different servers just because you can't agree or at least communicate with other "server leaders" out there on how to run something.

There's a joke that goes:

"What do you get when 7 South Africans get stranded on an island?"

4 political parties and 5 churches


OH

AND RAS
 
Oh, and to the IDIOTS OUT THERE. If you have 4mb ADSL or even 8mb as claimed here, please note that your upload speed is not equal to your download speed.

Meaning if you have to serve more than 5 players your server won't cope with the upload rate it requires... most people forget that
 
Uptime percentage since first run: 91.1%
Average Server Uptime: 13:21h
Maximum Server Uptime: 61:10h
Unique IPs last 24 Hour: 21

Total Accounts: 41
There is total of 13 GMs, One for every 3.2 Players

Total Characters on Realm: 50
An average of 1.2 Characters per Account



lol, 13 gms to the 40 players registered
 
Why can't WOW host a official local server so we pay but can atleast use local bandwidth.
 
It’s not a viable option in South Africa. People want lower latencies, but they want it free.

If you want to play WoW on a decent server, play on the official Blizzard servers.
 
Private servers run on emulators, they are nothing like the official. They only have part of the game. It is not illegal to play on emulators. These emulators are there as part of marketing plot to get people to play on the better official. :sick:

You clearly dont know what you are talking about go and read the TOS on the blizzard website and or WoW, it IS illegal to play on the emulators as its breaks the agreement you click "Accept" too when you start the game. Its not a marketing plot, where do you dream up this crap? I've been in the emulator scene for wow for ages, Mangos, Acent etc.. even made some patches do the code. And trust me, its not endorsed by blizzard at all.
 
To Acidrazor you are not the brightest tool in the shed are you? SQL Servers could be compared to a virus - it's written to take over the host computer. It does a lot of aggressive optimization that other concurrent processes can interfere with. That means it will use shared memory instead of TCP/IP when on the same machine. Our server has 30 gig of ram to optimize the speed.
 
I know it is not endorsed by blizzard. IT is still not illegal because it is emulator. Only part of the game.

Only Blizzard or its licensees have the right to host the Game. You may not host or provide matchmaking services for the Game, or intercept, emulate or redirect the proprietary communication protocols used by Blizzard in connection with the Program, regardless of the method used to do so. Such prohibited methods may include, but are not limited to, protocol emulation, reverse engineering, modifying the Program, adding unauthorized components to the Program, or using a packet sniffer while the Program is running.

In order to create an emulator you have to reverse engineer the packets and data that is sent to the server and back so i re-iterate it is IS illegal. If you going to make comments like you did, at least substantiate them.

Btw Negate, its the Sharpest not bright, and i assume from that comment also you are not.

SQL Servers a virus? are you smoking crack?.

If you need 30gigs of ram to optimize your server, you clearly have no clue on how to setup a server.

i commented on the internet line speed and got a sql server remark


errrr
 
The server is working, so I must be clueless. You clearly don't understand the load a server has to take when hundreds of people raid.

Blizzard never actually claims that anything about the emulated servers, themselves, is illegal. Rather, they attempt to mislead you into believing that the servers are illegal by associating them with illegal copies of the World of WarCraft client. They do have a legal argument, however, albeit a weak one, which is that the development and existence of these servers encourages the distribution of pirated copies of the game, and thus the servers should be considered illegal. Such an argument would not, in my un-professional opinion, stand in any court, as I can't believe that Blizzard has much of anything to back it up.

Go look up the case of Blizzard v. Bnetd. Emulated servers are not illegal.

Bnetd, as far as I know, basically offered the same service (which was not necessary to play the game) for the same price. However, to play World of WarCraft on one of Blizzard's servers, you must pay a monthly fee, and if you do not pay that fee, you cannot play that game (unless you find a private server). Blizzard certainly knows all this, and judging by their official comment, the additional legal information they almost certainly have probably indicates to them that they would at least be on very shaky ground coming out and denouncing WoW private servers as illegal.
 
If you reverse engineer software that is tampering with propriety code that is against the law. *Judge Dredd Voice*.

Either way i dont really give a rats ass to be honest. I play on the original servers, coz hosted ones sucks. The content is buggy, and the quests are bugged. Its fun to play around with, but it gets boring.
