The old N server was closed before. After negotiations with Blizzard failed, it merged with the E server to open the Anathema server. After the data from the two sides was merged, it was said that the peak number of people online reached 15,00. At that time, I actually searched the server and it showed that there were 12,00. Number of people online, but no screenshots left.
Probably less than a year after the opening of server A, the team of server N and the team of server E decided to withdraw from server A due to differences in concepts. The main contradiction here is that the N server is committed to officially opening the nostalgic version, while the E server hopes to continue to open private servers to make profits. The GM of the E server team privately sells G and equipment to gain military rank. I believe that most people who played the nostalgic server at that time heard about it. Later, internal conflicts within the E server team also confirmed this fact. It is rumored that the N server team was incorporated by Blizzard after it withdrew. It is true that no new servers were opened after the N server team withdrew, and then there was news about the official nostalgic server. If this news is true, then with the technology of the N server team and Blizzard's technology and hardware, I think the server load will be more than 12,000 people. As for the number of people in the official nostalgic server closed beta test, it may be difficult to say due to version issues. Coupled with the fact that NetEase has opened a new server to divert the number of people, the final result may be to persuade the new players to quit and merge with the ghost server to create a server of 10,000 people. Therefore, the choice of server is not very important now. The blue post has also pointed out that targeted server transfer will be opened, but it does not say that it must be from a place with more people to one with less people. So if there is an organization, follow it.
There may be as many as 10 version numbers in the level 60 era. Some versions will modify some equipment attributes or increase drops, such as the Savage Horn dropped by Blackrock Abyss Arena before the opening of Ahn'Qiraj. I can’t remember whether the Fighter’s Chain Armor increases hit points or parry. When Ahn’Qiraj was opened, it was changed to 2% critical hit. According to old N-server players, in the early version of 60, a BOSS in the 40-player copy of Molten Core would only drop one purple item, and only two items would drop after the Blackwing Lair was opened. The blue post said that the first stage is the drops before 1.9. 1.9 is the version that opens Ahn'Qiraj. If we follow common sense, the dungeons should be gradually opened. In other words, it is really possible for 40 people to dungeon and one BOSS will only drop one purple item. equipment, and then gradually increase the number of dropped equipment and blue equipment with excellent attributes. Regarding some people saying that Princess Maraudon only dropped one blue outfit, it may be because the drop list of the official server has not been implemented due to the version number.
In the first stage, since there are planes, you don’t have to worry too much about being PPPPPPPVP’d too early. However, according to the official Nostalgic Server closed beta test, you have to queue up to kill monsters. The most likely cause of being discouraged is that there are more people than monsters. It is normal to be unable to leave Novice Village within 10 hours on the first day. Especially the birthplace of the undead. At that time, the Anathema server had just opened and I practiced the Necromancer. After playing for 4 hours and not reaching level 5, I gave up and started playing the Tauren Shaman. It is recommended that newbies form a team to do tasks, otherwise the game experience will be extremely poor. On the way to leveling up, when you are at an even number, you should go to a skill trainer to learn skills. It is recommended that you only learn useful skills, not all of them, but learn them selectively, otherwise you will be embarrassed if you don’t have enough money to fly. I just didn't pay attention to everything at that time, so I sold my equipment to NPCs so I could afford to fly. When you reach level 40, you usually only have a few dozen G on you. It’s normal that you can’t afford a pony. Generally, the G for tasks around level 45 is enough. Of course, if you want to learn enchantment, just pretend I didn’t tell you. There are only about 4 hours a day, and it will take about 2 months to reach full level, so please be mentally prepared.
Finally, I have reached the maximum level and can participate in activities. The three major players will be exhausted. When setting up a level 60 raid, you need to prepare a lot of potions and food, Felwood blooms, and Perfect Doom gets BUFF. In melee combat, Mongoose has strong agility and whetstone. If you are a magician, you can use arcane energy. If you have enough money, you can't stop using super blue. If you don’t have time to play G but still want to participate in activities, it is recommended to play treatment and tanking. The more shaman knights the better, and there are basically union subsidies. As for the difficulty of the dungeon, it must have been difficult for the first time I played it more than 10 years ago. Now people who have played in various foreign retro servers have a clear understanding of the timeline and skills of each BOSS, as well as various coping methods and teams. The configuration is also very mature, so the difficulty of copying in the classic server is not as difficult as it used to be. Is it difficult to use big screws? With all the Titans in the group, it’s not difficult to get 3 bottles of Fire Kang in one game {funny}.
In short, everyone has his or her own way of playing games, and the happiest time is when you can play games with your friends.
