#Steam king under the mountain update#

I was hoping to have Alpha 8 released in time for this post but it needs a few more days yet. Primarily this means that combat and content based around combat won't be in at launch, but will be coming shortly after launch, and there will still be a simplified combat in the form of hunting coming in the next update. This does mean the planned content has been cut back a bit - instead of launching with Alpha 10 completed, the game will be launched up to Alpha 8 instead.

It should help spread the player base around the remaining servers better, while those wanting something new can place fresh.Welcome to the monthly dev update for King under the Mountain and possibly the biggest news the game will ever have - King under the Mountain is launching to Steam Early Access on November 24th! In an earlier update I mentioned that I was working with a publisher, well that ended up not panning out, so instead this is me entirely self-publishing and this has necessitated moving the release date forward from around February to what is now less than a month's time. Lots of empty servers will merge with other servers, as will the restrictions between PvE and pvp server transfers. There are also a few more server changes coming to the game ahead of wrath’s launch. It even spawned a fresh crusade movement, in which a smaller percentage of the global community rerolled to dead realms to get that new and more classic experience. There was momentum for it in TBC, to solve the rampant gold botting that inflated the amount of gold on classic servers. This is not the first time there’s been support for fresh servers for a classic launch. New severs with a faction balance may mean that Wintergrasp remains a competitive and community-enhancing experience. The reality is Wintergrasp is a dead-on-arrival feature for most of the servers, thanks to the heavy faction swings on almost every server since TBC’s start. The other benefit is that there is more chance that the classic fresh servers will have faction balance, making Wintergrasp a competitive experience as it is supposed to be. It also puts players behind getting the faster mount flight speed, and the travelling tundra repair mount. The current era classic servers are filled with gold, with a new culture like GDKP (use gold to get items you want in raids like its DKP loot system). One of the reasons Blizzard is considering this now is because of the influx of players they think will want to play Wrath without feeling extremely far behind. Note, the phrasing from Blizzard is “for at least”, meaning there’s potential it can go up further if Blizzard feels that the server communities may be made by transfers, bringing with it gear or gold advantages to the server. It will preserve the fresh community experience for those 90 days.

It means during those 90 days, no one can transfer anything to a new, fresh server, nor will players be able to use a boost on those servers. The servers will remain isolated from other servers for a brief period, enforcing that new community, all of which will need to level from scratch. Fresh servers are coming to WoW Classic WrathĪccording to the Blizzard post, new fresh Classic servers will launch with the Wrath of the Lich King pre-patch.

But did you expect there to be fresh servers with it? In a fresh post from Blizzard, community manager, Kaivax highlights that there will be fresh servers for WoW Classic Wrath, allowing players to roll on new servers if they so wish.

We all know that World of Warcraft Classic Wrath of the Lich King is coming.
