A Party Atmosphere

You must know that I couldn’t resist. After reading about the hubbubbub and the bruhaha on the Warcraft Medivh server over the giant influx of level one spectators, tourists and jagoff wannabes, I just have to see for myself.

Now here’s the thing, I’m just here to observe. I understand the mathematics of queues and lag, but I didn’t design this community event and I’m not in charge of allocating Warcraft hardware resources, so all I’ll say is “Congrats Medivh” and “This is the price of fame”, I’d also say “cry more” and “too bad, so sad”, but I’m trying not to be a douche.

AFK Gamer has a small team of reporters covering the Medivh globe; screenshotting our way from graveyard to graveyard on our epic journey to Silithus.

01/17/06 — HOUR ONE

The first thing to greet us, other than Welcome to World of Warcraft, was the spammed guild invites to the tourist guild. What a friendly server!

Guild Invite

We left soon after joining the tourist guild because damn, unless they have a warlock to summon us straight to Cenarion Hold in Silithus, what’s the point?

We were soon to realize, however, that the natives were not as friendly as our tour guides.

More later as we edit raw screenshot feeds and witness the mayhem history …

The Price of Fame

n3rfed’s Cosmik did some dandy research into Warcraft’s Medivh server, currently in the lead for the race to open the AQ gates, and discovered that Medivh is under seige by touring alts from other servers, created solely to witness the opening script: AHN’QIRAJ TO OPEN IN N SECONDS. SERVER TO CRASH IN N+1 SECONDS. I’m sure most of the alts just want to see the opening and mean no harm, but I’ll wager there’s more than a few that (hmm, how to say?) … wouldn’t mind delaying Medivh’s progress with lag and queues. Heh, it’s funny, cuz it’s not my server.

AQ War Effort Rankings

World of Warcraft is now sponsoring its own Ahn’Qiraj war supplies collection census data: Ahn’Qiraj War Effort Rankings. I will presume this data is accurate but I’m naive like that. So far, the best part of this bloated quest is the fighting between the guilds about who is doing all the work and who is not (*cough*my guild*cough*). Whatever, I’m just gonna sit in my lawn chair and wait for the gates to open. Every once in a while, I’ll ride over to the mailbox to get my gold from quest-crap sales, but that’s the extent of my involvement.
