    I truly wish I met you on WoW before.... watching your story and your Hardcore runs brought me so much joy. Shame there isn't more to watch now.... I love your way to tell stories.
    Maybe I see you one day online.... or maybe even on Turtle WoW. As much as I love to simp for evil purple elves... I can't justify giving Blizz more money. Guess I rather spend money on your Patreon :)

    Completely other side of the planet here in Canada and I feel you. RP-PvP was in fact peak WoW. Just running around Azeroth as a patrol of orcs, trolls and tauren killing people we came across while completely in character, and opposing RP-PvP guilds dressed in Stormwind Guard uniforms showing up and having epic battles in the Arathi highlands or Ashenvale for hours. Level 70s and 80s wearing the most random low level gear because it was RP gear and transmog didn't exist yet. People standing in lines like actual soldiers, doing /salute. Stuff like that was so fun, and then eventually kicking back in a bar in Stormwind or Silvermoon City doing more casual RP with the guildies and random players, telling random taverngoers our stories of valor.
    I miss those days.

On the internet we'd always hear stories about how both of our servers were really similar despite being inaccessible to the other, similar population, similar goldshire, similar guilds and events, and both kind of became THE major RP servers as the other RP servers kind of died.

      The very first attempt was also a priest who died in the cave on Teldrassil, I show that in Ponks' video too. (I kinda forgot about it during making of this final video, so I didn't even count that one)

    Sorry for what happened to you. It's hard to lose access to something so important, so abruptly. You know, there are some really good private servers out there. Turtle wow as a large population and a strong RP community. Project Epoch is shaping to be something really special when it release. You are not under any obligation to pay Blizzard anything to enjoy the universe they changed so much, and now that I've seen your video I understand better why there are so much russians players there.
    The adventure was long and difficult, but I'm confident you would have done it. Brave of you to want to attempt Stratholme on Hardcore! You stopped, but you didn't lose. Congratulations for making it this far.

    • @darksh1ne1
      @darksh1ne1  2 месяца назад +3

      Thank you! Yeah I was considering private servers. The problem is... what usually holds a person in an MMO are other people, guild and friends. And the guild I'm in for already many years is still there, still active. My friends still play. If i go to a private server it would be a fresh start from scratch. It just doesn't feel like something I want to go through at the moment.
      We'll see how things go. It's possible that eventually sanctions will drop and we'll get back to norm. I want to play WoW officially. I'm used to it and there are people who I know.
      And if not... Well, I feel free now. I've got plans for other games, for example I want to continue making stuff for Elden ring. I had a huge in-character playthrough that I've stopped a couple of years ago because I wanted to wait for DLC, to get the full lore picture. Not only I want to continue it, I actually strongly consider rebooting it, making it 100 times better.

    Ok this was painful to sit through and read... Hun, couple of tips: Maybe add a text to speech, or considering making bigger panels and a faster rate... i had to watch this at 2x speed so i could read through and still was painful... And there is so much padding and yadda yadda that makes it dificult to stay invested... i just wanted to click off
    Now, here is a personal drop of wisdom. Take as you want. I'm an OG vanilla player. As in, i been playing since 2004. And let me tell you something... if there's one thing i know for sure, and the reazon i would never touch pirate servers, or classic, or hardcore, sod, whatever you name it... Is that those are FLEETING experiences.
    No matter how much people say they love classic, or they love hardcore, or they love SoD... the only people that do actualy enjoy and stay playing those, are people that can do without get any attachment to their characters. They could not care less if their characters disappear over night and have to start from zero, or if they themselves abandon them to start the new shinny whatever, server, season, mode...
    I have been playing my first world of warcraft Character since 2004. That character, i did log in today, in the same server i started, to do the raid. And lots of my friends have quit, some have came back... In way, is just like life you know? People comes and go... but regardless, you go on.

    • @darksh1ne1
      @darksh1ne1  2 месяца назад

      I agree on the investment part. In the past, before Cata, I loved the fact that achievements, toys, mounts and all that were character-only. Made you love and cherish the character who've got them. After they made all of that account-wide, it all changed forever. Sadly as you called it 'fleeting experience' is what devs themselves see this game to be and this is how it is designed ever since.
      A whole bunch of fleeting experiences. A raid and all of the gear you've got from it becomes irrelevant the next major patch. It's been for years like this, and I suppose majority of the game's current player base have accepted and enjoy this treatment of progression. Otherwise they wouldn't be playing, I suppose. What held me in retail WoW was mostly the roleplay. Without it I'd quit long ago by myself.
      Now, as for your criticism... I thank you for it, but none of your points are valid for me.
      I've designed the length and size of the chat boxes according to what I personally find enjoyable to read. I'm a slow reader so I measured the time they stay on screen judging by how long it takes for me to read them.
      I tried to make them larger in the sense of containing 3-4 sentences. But that lead to my eyes being forced to glue to the chat box instead of seeing the rest of the screen.
      With my current chat boxes and the length of them staying on screen, you can read the text quickly and enjoy the gameplay/scenery/whatever I choose to show to you.
      The video itself is not meant to be a thrilling high pace ride. By the way, I tried to watch it on x2 and... yeah, I dunno how you can find enjoyment from that. The audio and music turns into unlistenable mess. I've spent a lot of time picking the right tracks, you know? You're meant to listen to them while reading the story.
      I like slow pace of narrative in general. I love slow scenes of dialogue in action films. It's just how I am - I've found my pace and I'll stick to it.
      I always found jokes about younger generation having ADHD mostly as just that - jokes. But... according to your comment, perhaps there's some truth in them.
      Sometimes it's fine to just relax, sit back and to take things without a rush.
      As for TTS... I'm been thinking about it. But so far I couldn't find a good program which doesn't also demand payment per 1k words or something. I want to remind, by the way, that I can't pay for any foreign services anymore. For the same reason I can't pay for WoW sub.
      And of course nobody will ever hear my real voice. I hate it myself and I'm not subjecting anyone to the nightmare of it.
      In conclusion, an advice.. If you don't enjoy watching a video and feel like clicking off - do that. Perhaps my content just isn't for you.

      I've watched Blizzard presentations throughout these years. They're oozing with politics and 'current thing', so I wouldn't be surprised that the truth is - some pro-Ukraine employee stirred up a fuss about "Those pesky Russian players are still playing the game! They should be on the streets protesting" or something, and pushed for the closer of gifts.
      I truly see no other reason why they would do that. They wonder why their numbers are getting low while losing entire countries worth of players. China, Russia - both were HUGE part of playerbase. Now fully gone.
