PrimalWoW WotLK - 5 September

25 Aug 2020 15:22

While some of you wanted to see this news a year ago, this will come as a shock to others. We made the hard decision of rescheduling the merge of our realms to the earliest opportunity. This means the PrimalWoW community will no longer have a separate realm to progress through WotLK, all characters will populate one realm.

Unfortunately this is not a matter of choice, we simply don't have enough volunteers who are willing to do the grunt work for a successful WotLK launch. Our main developer has been overworked with crash fixes as stability comes first. And most of the people who were originally involved with the TBC launch have left so we have already been behind schedule for a while. The only other option is keeping it as a static TBC realm indefinitely which hardly anyone would be happy about.

Note that you're always free to progress through WotLK at your own accord, a disciplined guild could manage this. We have some ideas to support this playstyle as a compromise but again no work has been done yet.

Obviously the upside of a merge is population, there will be more people to play with. We will no longer have to split our limited resources over 2 realms. And in turn, our small server will have better chances of surviving. Players will also be able to enjoy features that have been exclusive to the TrueWoW realm, AHbot has been selling items for 2 months but there are no plans to adjust it for a PrimalWoW release.

The merge is expected to be ready within months so not immediately, more details and a specific date will still follow. It's also a big project that requires careful preparation and I am mostly doing that alone. If you're angry about this decision, I only ask that you don't take it out on staff members. Such an attitude is really demotivating and we will be worse off if they leave. If you actually want to help, send us a staff application and maybe you will make a difference.

5 September marked the release of WotLK on Primal and all 3.3.5a content is now available. AHbot has been enabled and the realms are now basically identical in preparation for the merge.

The realm type for TrueWoW was changed from PvP to PvE as agreed here.

[TW & PW] New Arena and RBG Changes

30 Apr 2020 19:18

Greetings Dear Community,

We have implemented some exciting new changes that we hope will incentivize more PvP activity on the server.

These changes are as follows:

1. The arena point flush will now occur daily, as opposed to once a week that occurred previously (TW realm only). This should make it more viable to obtain PvP gear from arena points (compared to doing PvE for Emblems of Frost to buy the same gear).

2. If you don't manage to do the required 10 arena matches, they will carry over to the next flush. So for the TW realm you could do 2 matches a day and get a flush after 5 days if you want.

3. There is no more rating loss below 1500 rating and losses will allow a slow climb to 1500. This is meant to benefit low geared teams. Getting above 1500 rating still requires a sufficient amount of victories.

4. Rating gains/losses from arena matches have been tripled to compensate for the waiting times. For TW, this should make it possible to attain enough rating for purchasing Wrathful gear again with less matches.

5. Losing against a lower rated team is now less punishing. This is intended to reduce "sniping" and encourage more activity. Having a 50% winrate will always be enough to maintain your rating.

6. The first RBG win of the day will now grant 3x more arena points (from 25 to 75). Honor rewards are 3x the shown values (11160 honor bonus for the first win) due to the 3x honor rate that was implemented long ago.

7. RBG selection is now smarter. It will rotate between available BGs and will prioritize Warsong Gulch for 2v2. If there is higher subsequent activity, Eye of the Storm, Arathi Basin or Strand of the Ancients will start instead. Isle of Conquest and Alterac Valley will require more BG activity (as well as more players in queue) before they start.

Please Note:

TW Season 1 for 2020 officially ended today. TW Season 2 is now active.

Notifications have been sent out for the active members of the rank 1 team.

Check your in-game mail and follow the enclosed instructions to claim your rewards.

If you are unaware of the arena schedule, you may check by clicking here.

We sincerely hope that these changes will compensate for the lack of population and will encourage you all to participate in PvP.

All of them (except the first one) are now live on both TrueWoW and PrimalWoW.

Now get out there, queue up and join the fight!

With best regards,

TrueWoW Staff.

Season 4 Release on the PrimalWoW realm!

The Isle of Quel'Danas - Now Live on PrimalWoW!

11 Oct 2019 12:25

TRUEWOW IS PLEASED TO PRESENT:

THE BURNING CRUSADE - Patch 2.4:

FURY OF THE SUNWELL

It was called... the Sunwell

A sacred fount of untold power!

The Isle of Quel'Danas:

Behold the magical isle of Quel'Danas!

Once the shining jewel of Quel'Thalas, this island is now home to demons and elves alike, all of whom battle for control of the magical fount of the Quel'dorei's power's - the Sunwell. Created from a vial of water stolen from the Well of Eternity, the Sunwell helped shape the lands, the cities and the very essence of the Quel'dorei identity, saturating the very fiber of their being, while serving as a source of great power.

Now, in the wake the destruction left behind by Arthas, the surviving Quel'dorei - having named themselves Sin'dorei - fight on. Enduring to reclaim their birthright, whilst struggling against the forces of the Burning Legion, as well as some of their own traitorous kin, who now merely serve the agendas of their evil masters.

The fate of Quel'Thalas, and perhaps Azeroth itself, now hangs in the balance. Go forth champion! Venture into this mystical land and help the Sin'dorei reclaim their destiny! Prevent the shadow of death from falling upon the world!

Or perish... at the hands of he... who will deliver us all!

Magister's Terrace:

Tempest Keep was merely a setback!

With this release comes a new dungeon for PrimalWoW:

Tucked away in the northeastern pocket of Quel'Danas lies the Magister's Terrace. Once a center of arcane knowledge, now it serves as a base for the Dawnblade, the elite faction of Blood Elves still loyal to Kael'thas Sunstrider. Having escaped there, and following his defeat at Tempest Keep, Kael'thas plots to gain control of the Sunwell for his own ulterior motives.

What does he have planned? What is his agenda? It is for you, champion, to find out and put a stop to it!

Rumor has it that Kael'thas may possibly be hiding a unique hawkstrider mount which grants a legendary achievement. Try your luck and see if you will be the first to obtain it!

The Isle of Quel'Danas is now available for play on PrimalWoW. This area includes a new quest hub, flight path and 5-player dungeon - Magister's Terrace.

The combined forces of Shattrath have launched an attack on the Isle of Quel'Danas, to confront Kael'thas and the Legion at the Sunwell and surrounding areas.

Players will now be able to gain reputation with the Shattered Sun Offensive and participate in a new set of daily quests.

A representative of the Keepers of Time has been spotted at the World's End Tavern in Shattrath. Players with good standings will be granted ease of passage to the Caverns of Time.

Sunwell Plateau has been released. The raid is now accessible to all eligible players on PW. The following tuning adjustments are active for said raid:

WotLK + 80% for bosses and WotLK + 40% for trash.

TrueWoW staff has conducted several internal tests to ensure as smooth a release as possible, however, as always - please request assistance via the in-game ticket system for any issues, and report actual bugs on our bugtracker; the instructions for which can be found HERE.
