| 22:30.09 | Ennea | Maldivia, probably my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRE1WjivRaU |
| 22:30.25 | nevcairiel | The North |
| 22:31.13 | Nimhfree_ | in der Nähe |
| 22:31.57 | nevcairiel | heh i like how the button says that the world is available in 335 hours |
| 22:32.08 | Ennea | yea, that's pretty cool |
| 22:33.06 | Ennea | well.. two more weeks T_T |
| 22:33.18 | Ennea | time for some sleep. see ya~ |
| 22:33.55 | Nimhfree_ | the two lowest population US servers are RP and RPPVP |
| 22:34.06 | Maldivia | Nimhfree_: same as EU |
| 22:34.14 | nevcairiel | i'm still confused why they listened to the cry babies about RPPVP |
| 22:34.16 | Nimhfree_ | I guess no one wants to pretend they are an elf :-) |
| 22:34.20 | nevcairiel | that server type was dead in vanilla |
| 22:34.30 | Ennea | that's a lie |
| 22:34.36 | Ennea | ;) |
| 22:34.56 | Mr_Rabies | Nimhfree_ |
| 22:35.16 | Mr_Rabies | except those that REALLY want to pretend they're an elf if you know what i mean |
| 22:35.53 | Funkeh` | I also think it will be a big hit on release and die off within a few months |
| 22:36.16 | Funkeh` | oh man, apparently my client stopped scrolled and I replied to something ages ago |
| 22:36.47 | Nimhfree_ | time passed? |
| 22:38.20 | znf | I give it 2 months top |
| 22:38.35 | znf | and those 10k people or less will cling to it with their teeth |
| 22:38.49 | Mr_Rabies | i think it's good for them to be conservative with their realm creation like they currently are |
| 22:39.08 | Mr_Rabies | i think many realms are dead since so many realms were opened up in wrath |
| 22:39.23 | Mr_Rabies | it felt like there was a new batch of realms every week and now all but a handful are dead |
| 22:39.50 | znf | too bad they stopped connecting realms ages ago |
| 22:40.00 | Mr_Rabies | my realm was opened a week or so after launch of vanilla and we got merged with a wrath realm at some point and it's still dead |
| 22:40.13 | Mr_Rabies | well connected to, not merged |
| 22:41.35 | Mr_Rabies | i know they're making bank from transfers and therefore have little incentive to fix the problem but i think that's a lot of the reason why so many are unsubbing |
| 22:41.49 | znf | we'll never know the real numbers |
| 22:42.27 | Mr_Rabies | no, but the trend is certainly downwards |
| 22:42.28 | Maldivia | Mr_Rabies: you really think they are "making bank" from that? |
| 22:42.42 | znf | from transfers? probably |
| 22:43.02 | znf | or from tokens, anyway :P |
| 22:43.17 | Maldivia | people I know who buy mounts/pets/services in the shop do it by bying tokens for gold and converting to store cash |
| 22:43.35 | Mr_Rabies | someone bought those tokens with real money though |
| 22:43.48 | Mr_Rabies | and they make more from that process than someone just buying it outright |
| 22:44.05 | znf | ^ what he said |
| 22:44.29 | Mr_Rabies | since $20 in token gives you $15 in bnet balance |
| 22:45.44 | znf | that guy who came up with the token idea was a genius in terms of revenue :D |
| 22:46.59 | Maldivia | hah... the toys, mounts, pets etc in the shop now lists "Not available in World of Warcraft® Classic" |
| 22:47.27 | znf | been like that for a while |
| 22:47.32 | Mr_Rabies | i think long term even though they're making more money now in wow than they ever have |
| 22:47.46 | Maldivia | haven't noticed till now -- but then again, I don't check the store that often |
| 22:47.51 | Mr_Rabies | it will reach a tipping point where people just feel like they're playing a subscription cost for skyrim with a chat room |
| 22:48.11 | Mr_Rabies | paying* |
| 22:50.43 | Maldivia | hmm, are people deleting chars again, or is Blizzard upping the limit? some servers have dropped in Population |
| 22:50.43 | znf | I'm paying a sub for the premade finder |
| 22:58.02 | Maldivia | hmm, looking at the credits... Vanilla was programmed by just 24 people... |
| 23:02.31 | Corrodias | remembers the mobs getting stuck underground where you couldn't attack them |
| 23:02.38 | Corrodias | - but they could attack you |
| 23:02.40 | Corrodias | yeah, i can believe that |
| 23:03.16 | Corrodias | (in fact i'm only inferring they were underground; it was more that they were not visible at all) |
| 23:03.41 | Maldivia | Corrodias: but that still happens :D |
| 23:03.48 | Corrodias | oh (._.) |
| 23:04.06 | Corrodias | it seemed to be fixed by TBC, at least |
| 23:06.52 | Maldivia | well, you still sometimes have mobs sub-terrain or stuck in terrain that will happily hit you, but you cannot hit them |
| 23:08.12 | Mr_Rabies | we had one of those in eternal palace a few weeks ago |
| 23:08.24 | Mr_Rabies | everyone was stuck in combat so we cleared ALL of the trash before sivara |
| 23:08.29 | Mr_Rabies | and everyone was still stuck in combat |
| 23:08.54 | Mr_Rabies | so we waited and suddenly combat dropped and one random trash mob popped up out of nowhere |
| 23:09.05 | Mr_Rabies | from the first pack of trash |
| 23:23.40 | Corrodias | nice |
| 23:28.39 | Mr_Rabies | that was also the night where we had like 3 people throw a tantrum one at a time before the first boss on mythic and mysteriously wind up in another guild instantly, so we did have a little time to wait before the first boss |
| 23:29.20 | Mr_Rabies | refusing to join because "we weren't good enough for mythic" "we have too many healers, you can only have 4 on mythic sivara" etc |
| 23:29.47 | Mr_Rabies | and then getting beat to the #1 spot on the server to a guild that took 6 healers and did our exact strategy lol |
| 23:30.02 | Mr_Rabies | with worse gear and overall lower average dps |
| 23:52.28 | netameta | how can i get realm name ? |
| 23:52.44 | netameta | I know unitName('player') will get the player name |
| 23:52.48 | netameta | how can i do the realm ? |
| 23:53.41 | netameta | Found it |
| 23:54.21 | netameta | UnitName("unit") - Returns the name (and realm name) of a unit. - thats not true |
| 23:54.42 | netameta | UnitName("player") - doesnt return the realm |
| 23:54.49 | nebula | to get the realm for play you need to use UnitFullName |
| 23:54.55 | nebula | s/play/player/ |
| 23:55.04 | netameta | Ah i see |
| 23:55.39 | netameta | I dont even see UnitFullName in the API |
| 23:55.48 | nevcairiel | UnitName will return a realm if its not the same as yours, iirc |
| 23:56.59 | nevcairiel | and UnitFullName is here https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_UnitFullName |
| 23:59.44 | netameta | UnitFullName seem to worked |
| 23:59.56 | netameta | Weird that's its not in https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/World_of_Warcraft_API |
