- WILL THAR BE DEATH KNGITHS??!
- - No. Death Knights currently have very little support at the moment since the in-development game is Wrath still. MaNGOS doesn't support Wrath because it's not finished, obviously. Therefore Death Knights would be a very underpowered class on this server and make no sense in gameplay and have numerous complaint reports.
Will you be a donor on new realm if your donor on old one? - - Sadly, no. Just like donors stick to characters on Smolderforge, they will on this server. In addition, donor prices will be increased to $8. But only on this server. Simply because we're hosting a bigger game, and only 1/2 of the price goes to me since Dudzer will be hosting it.
What kind of gear do you get at start? - - We filled the vendors with starting raid level gear, so Tier 7. The Tier vendors will start at Heroism, which is the free one and arena vendors at Hateful.
Will their be any custom raids? - - At this point no current custom raids exist in-game. We plan to move them over soon, but they have to be re-equipped for level 80 access.
How will we upgrade our accounts to Wrath? - - Once we fully support Wrath we'll upgrade everyone's accounts which will not effect anything on the 2.4.3 server. Currently now, to be ahead of the game you can upgrade to Wrath via Account Manager.
Are you going to get badges from BGs or something different? - - Badges of Justice will be obsolete on this server. We'll be using Emblems of Heroism.
Will SoTA work? - - We actually have not testing and that's something we haven't gotten around to working with. My guess is no siege weapons will work for many, many months so probably not since it's a very big thing to program like arena once were. Now, it's possible to queue from any location now, but you will only be able to turn in the BG quest when that battlemaster is open.
Will there be still GMs for the next server? - - Game Masters are flagged by account, therefore any realm associated Smolderforge or linked to and you have access to makes you a GM on that one as well. We hope our GMs remember to switch realms from time from time.
Where is the mall going to be? - - We chose Azshara Crater, but we dropped the idea and cloned the current mall. It's just less confusing for everybody.
What gear will donors get and what tier gear will there be? - - Donors will have access to Season 6 Furious Gladiator armor and weapons, along with a "Yrma Tier" Tier 8.5 Conqueror vendor. I got the Yrma from the Sunwell vendor :P. We have added a lot of new titles and tabards and pets to the donor mall as well. We have several titles that are race/class bound. Such as Archmage is only for Mages, or "of Quel'Thalas" for Blood Elves.
Will we be able to buy character re-customization? - Yep. $2.
Will the server have a different homepage/forum? - Good question. The forums will stay the same, and won't split up. The homepage I'm still wondering if I should change it to Wrath which is actually fully ready (I set everything ready for Wrath when 3.0.3 but when we didn't go). But I might have a "Choose your path" and you select the BC account creator or the Wrath, not sure yet. I can tell you that the character online list and arena stats will have you select which realm you want to visit when the realms go live.
