Back on pservers, things would be popping off from FRESH → BWL, but then it’d just die down more and more and by the time AQ40 was out, the server would be down to like 25% of its launch population or less. 1 Like Fox-thunderlord (Fox) October 24, 2024, 3:55am 6 My ...
Ogres are niche. Yes, it'd be nice if they were playable, but its also easy to see why they aren't playable. They're also very similar to other Horde races, being basically big (like tauren) with similar aesthetics to orcs. The reason they're not playable is because Blizzard are div...
The one glimmer of hope for those wanting a classic experience — other than to jump to another legacy server with its own risk of being shut down — is that Blizzard has discussed the idea of “Pristine servers.” These would operate without some of the more recent additions to the game,...
Regularly monitor and maintain game servers to minimize downtime and prevent unexpected disconnections.

There are aspects of Linux that I find frustrating, even though I don’t talk about them often. Here are five points that I encounter almost daily:
scores to settle, and cars to tame. There are lines around the infamous ‘roller coaster’ Portimao circuit that only a Lotus 98T can take, and we intend to find them. There are scores to settle at the next Dubai Autodrome race in blizzard conditions, extra hundredths to find ...
This doesn't even consider online-only games like Overwatch, which will be impossible to play once Blizzard shuts down the servers. There are also games that were only available for a limited time, such as the Japan-only Legend of Zelda games for the Satellaview. ...
