Okay here's the thing. I've spent more than 2000 hours on WoW so far. I've got a geared out (all epics) warlock with full felheart set, with about 10 + epics sitting in bank. Killed ragnaros more than 10 times ,with guildie holding a sulfuras, and up to Ebonroc in BWL. I have about 5000 gold altogether. Yes, we are pretty hardcore, but lack of dedication makes us unable to reach Nefarian. All this happened when i was in UK. (plenty of time you see)

I came back after graduation a month ago. It's not possible to raid with my ex-guild anymore as the times are just not right. Raiding with them means waking up at 5 am everday. I may be able to make it on sundays, but waking up early on sundays to raid ? Dont think so.

So this is what i did. I started a Malaysian guild <Malaysian Superstars> , so that we can enjoy high level instace raiding at our time. I managed to get friends, friends friends, tier 3 friends, you get the idea, to start. At the moment there are 30 + members, all malaysians! Right now, i need more people coming in so that we can do raiding OUR time.

If you are interested, message me in game , nick is Stee, or just speak to anyone you see with a <Malaysian Superstars> tag. We have our own ventrillo ip address to make raiding easier and our website is on the way. To help out your leveling experience , i will be providing 14 runecloth bags x 4 , and another 10g to start you off.

Join now , <Malaysian Superstars> on Archimonde is going to be the next big thing! Leave a message here or just pm Stee in game for an invite/chat about our guild.

*edit

-The guild is on Alliance side, sorry i missed out on that earlier.
3rd November: We have expanded to 50+ members
17th November: First ZG run attempt
27th November: Guild website up www.my-guild.com
10th December: 2nd attempt, Cleared MC up to 9th boss (majordomo) with no wipes.
20 December: Rag Down
4 Janauary: Eye of Sulfuras!

As of Feb 1 : ** Recruitment is closed**

Also, i will not be updating/ reading this thread anymore. If you have any questions, look me up in archimonde(Stee/Stie/Bank) or send me a private message.

are you playing european version of the game?

My bad for missing out on that part, no , Archimonde as in the US server, the one where the uber guild from iRO (The Shiny Ones) came to.

wow. thats pretty hardcore. 10+ unused epics sitting in bank with 5kgold on hand

yeah ownage. come over to archimonde, you wont be facing any financial difficulties

i don't play that much. so won't have time to do much anyways. only during holidays will i play almost hardcore. for now i only play on weekends, quite seldom too. if i do play would be probably only about 3-5 hours max

Hardcore player as well but couldnt find dedicated players around stormscale

Im waiting for blizzard to open up server transfer option so we can gather our force in 1 server

They do have character transfers. Unfortunately, you can't select which realm they transfer you to, they decide it for you. It's pre-determined. So that sucks. Malaysians will never be on the same server until we have our own one.

off topic: erm can i know wat is raiding?

Raiding is forming a group that consists more than 5 people. End game raiding requires 40 people.

i heard u are allow to transfer to ur realm of ur liking with a small fee in the future

yep.thats what blizzard is planning, or so they say. and also there will be a cap on how often u can transfer your characters

Not bad, 2 day posted here and i have 5 people who is keen on starting here. Keep it coming! Hopefully we can have our first 40 man raid Christmas season.

I would like to add that talks are on the way with the guild Catastrophe, a guild also on Archimonde , which consists mainly of Malaysian students studying in Australia, graduating and coming back end of this year (20ish members, including alts) . They will be waiting for the majority of us to hit 60 before we merge. Perhaps we can rename the guild to Malaysian Catastrophe ? o.O

Very attractive stuff. Just don't baby your players too much or you're gonna have too many newb 60s.

how bout Malaysia Boleh! ?

em... Horde or alliance?

Wow! You're really hardcore, dude. Getting up to tank in MC today (4.30am) was hard enough for me. Worst of all, 10g in repairs and we wiped at Lucifron. Only epic set drop was for rogues and my guildie got it.

alliance, how i did manage to leave that out

Ssup LoLskates. Stonekrom here! Wheeeee!!

It seems that there are people coming into the server and couldn't get hold of me as i wasn't online. As i am having a 9-6 job at the moment, i will be on usually from 8 onwards. Any other times, feel free to message any member who will guide you to an officer for an invite. At the moment, there are many hardcore members who are usually on the whole day.

Off the top of my head they are Dizfire, Shendelzare, Shamey, Maihime, Jickezz and Mcchen. They will be on from 1pm onwards to about 5 am. Send them a tell for more info about the guild.

i see 1 dota player listed there. lol

lol. spot on . all of them are dota players actually. well ex dota players. no thanks to wow.

knew it. the ex dota players part i mean. crazy bout dota til use dota char names. let me guess.....shendelzare is a NE?

lolskate,i suggest post your guild info in recruitment thread:)

How much i hope i got so many friends in stormscale:)

LoL yeah Shendelzare is a dota player. Come to think of it, most of our guild started off as dota players. Except for our officers who have been playing WoW and didn't bother about Dota.

Is it a PvP or PvE server? Dont tell me its RP Sounds interesting, was looking forward to play a human chick, definitely priest. Whats the server pop? Alliance and Horde ratio and strenght there?

Archimonde is pretty full now I think, PvP and alliance heavy. It's where the hardcore players hang out as well

Are you looking for players which are currently in Archimonde? or experienced players who have participated in end game raids in other realms can participate in this as well (create new character in archimonde)?

Btw, how's the class population in the guild and server currently? What's on demand & what's not?

stormscale is currently at medium

ratio is around 1:1.2,alliances to hordes

server is very stable...warlock is at demand since there isnt much lvl 60s warlocks

Okay, i'll give you guys some info about Archimonde server. Archimonde was the first batch of servers which started the day WoW hit retail. It was meant to be "the place to pvp". The most hardcore guild from iRO, "The Shiny Ones" (now known as harmless) shifted here along with other big pvp guild from Lineage 2.

The most well known guild on the server is Nurfed(www.nurfed.com). They are on the horde side, second on server to down Nefarion. They have their own UI (nurfed UI) and has been very controversial lately due to their mod Nurfed threat(dont know if you read about that case, pretty well known case).

Since i started advertising here, i have had a handful of fellow malaysians joining us .In a weeks time, i will have another 3 friends joining us, starting new as level 1 characters. So if you intend to join as well , now is pretty good time.

As for classes which are needed, we are pretty well balanced at the moment , only shortage being on warlocks. But ill be perfectly honest with you... warlocks suck.

second on server to down Nefarion. wow. what position on world they on? to down Nefarion i mean. i think so far, according to WoW forums, only about 10 guilds have downed Nefarion worldwide so far

well, Nightmare Asylum from horde side recently transfered from Skullcrusher to Smolderthorn.

They are now on farming status in BWL from Vael to Nefarion. Wondering why some ppl are soo good ZZZzzzz. They are the elites, same goes to Nurfed

I don't mind joining, but not now. I'm having exams for the next few weeks. Currently i have an inactive lvl 60 rogue on Spinebreaker(pvp). Disabled the account due to studies, holiday coming soon. =P

I only experienced end game raid in MC up to majordomo only. BWL, never get pass the first boss yet, i think BWL was bugged first few week from the release. And yes, warlock gameplay is boring. hehe =P

Btw, what latency are you receiving on that server?

This post has been edited by Axzel: Oct 27 2005, 12:34 AM

My experience is pretty wierd, furthest I went to in MC is Sulfuron and in BWL Vael. You might ask how can I get to Vael when I only got to Sulfuron, well its a very long story and basically its because I quit the game lol. Will be back if Jaring is good, then I'll hop over to test it out as a priest. What I wanna know tho, is about the NURFED UI issue you mentioned. Got a link? And also I cant see my latency when using this UI. Sorry for hijacking ur thread but hope to get some replies ^^

hmmm..

try to check out

Nurfed Webite
www.nurfed.com

Nightmare Asylum
http://na.iogaming.com/

I believe they are the top 2 horde guilds server wide

Yes, BWL was very buggy upon release. Even though vael was downed , we could not get past him as the gates would not open. They used the term cockblocked. Even today, BWL is still experiencing latency issues.

As for the latency on Archimonde, it can vary from 350 to <insert very high figure here> . I did not have any problems in UK, always less than 200 m/s , its just streamyx really. The moment i hear/find an alternative service provider that doesnt lag , i'm gone.

www.nurfed.com wont really explain what actually happened. There are a lot of posts on it from General threads, as well as Archimonde server itself. Here's the short version of it.

Nurfed is one of the best guilds around in terms of pve accomplishment. They were the first ever to get legendary items. One of the fastest to down rag, and top few to kill nefarian.They have their own UI called Nurfed UI. It was downloadable at www.nurfed.com. Very nice mod , used it for my warlock.

However, they did not release to the public and extra mod they used for themselves. It was called Nurfed_threat. It was a mod developed themselves to handle the aggro in MC/BwL. A tank can see how much aggro is developed when he casts sunder armor, heroic strike,etc. A formula was used, giving specific numbers. Whenever a priest casts greater heal , a certain number would be given , say 2000 threat. Whenever priets fade, a certain amount would be subtracted. This way, they can always see who is on top of the hate list and aggro manage PERFECTLY.

So naturally, people started flaming them for developing this , calling it "easy mode". They defended saying that it's purely mathematical based, no exploit is used, GM didnt give warning , if its exploit , why is it having more than 10k downloads , etc etc.

Thats the rough story.

Ahh I thought their UI was bugged and leaked some info out or something like that. Nice mod they have there, I think if everyone had this, instances would turn out to be very easy for a lot of people. Is it downloadable? I'll check it later when I'm back from work, and go visit Archimonde a bit with my friends account

TSO wasn't close to being the most powerful or hardcore in iRO, just so you know hehe.

But you are right Archimonde is THE pvp server

They wern't ? I dont know , i didnt play iRO. They always bragged about it and everyone else seemed to agree so i just assumed.

Yeah...joining a new server can be pretty unstable. It can be so popular this month and died out the next month. Playing on an already established PvP server is pretty hard since almost everyone have their particular niche MC/BWL raid group and they won't accept any new recruitments. I was so excited when I joined Firetree and with my guild getting readied for MC but it died eventually..from a high medium pop to low pop server.

Yup, youre correct. Small and new servers will never make it. People come in, more people comes in, server maybe becomes medium pop, they are all excited, till majority start reaching lvl 60 and then they start whining "dude, there's not enough stuff to buy on AH' , "dude, there's not enough people to get a pvp/battleground game started" , "dude, there's not enough horde/alliance running around for me to pwn"

The biggest MMORPG killer is low population. Avoid. Word of advice

Hmm, im quite interested in coming to archimonde, but have to wait for server transfers. Hopefully can transfer to archimonde server.

This post has been edited by silic0sis: Oct 27 2005, 05:25 PM

I can see server transfers getting implemented for a price tag of 25 USD per char transfer. I guess many people might still pay that amount.

25 USD...wheres the source?

I was making a wild guess. Not exactly a clueless guess, but the thing is that server transfer fee will not be cheap. This is because of the different economy prices in servers.

For example, on Archimonde, large radiant shards is less than 1 gold. Yup less than 1 gold! They cost like 50 silver each if you buy in bulk from farmers. I have about 200 on my alt. They can sell for 6-8 gold each on new servers. Same goes the other way round. Wool cloth is cheap in new realms, because everyone leveling picks them up. Wool is 1.2g a stack on my server, because not many people farms lowbie areas. If the transfer fee is minimal, say USD5, i can go transfer to a new realm , dominating the economy, earn thousands of gold, and continue hopping realm to realm exploiting the price difference.

make sense also.

So far i think mamak alliances and Syck has quite a number of locals player..I must give them a loud applause of being able to pull local players together....Unfortunately,theres no such server and i cant manage to do it..argg:(

25 USD? Whoa.. there's no way i would pay that for a character transfer unless I'm really really desperate =P
But... come to think of it, it beats 3x15USD to get epic mount, dal rend swords, knight captain status, and bunch o' other stuff ^^

Oh well, looks like I've gotta think this through. Any rough idea when character transfer is gonna be implemented?

:edit: Oh yeah, just would like to know, care to share what kind of raid system will the guild be running on? Will it be by RP or maybe taking turns on drops? If you have the time, care to elaborate on the system you're gonna be using?

This post has been edited by Axzel: Oct 27 2005, 06:47 PM

I will be using the same program as the raid group i used to run with. It runs on a DKP/point system. It was a written by a friend where it follows the principle of rewarding players who spent more time on raids. A 0 dkp system is used to prevent inflation.

A little confusing at first glance i know, i'll give an example. Say we kill Ragnaros and he drops 4 epics. Different epics have different "prices" on them. If they are better,they are worth more. For simplicity purposes, say all 4 of them are worth 100 point each. So altogether, its 400 points, which means Ragnaros = 400 points.
This 400 points is divided by 40 people , everyone get 10 points for killing ragnaros.

Who gets to loot? The person with higher points have priority. say person A has 250 points , person B has 170 points. A gets to loot it , if he wants. If he does, he has 150 points left, and B will have priority on the next drop , because he has more points than A now (170 points).

Only the first 2-3 runs will we be rolling on epics. It doesn't really matter if you dont win. If someone else rolls higher, he wont be getting loot later anyway, until he has more points.

The program which i will be using, will automatically record the drops, turn them to points, and upload on the web where everyone can check their points and see where they stand.

Ah okay, my previous guild had a system close to that, just that we earn points differently and we had a bid system compared to just slashing points off person A from person B. Oh well, i guessing what you just gave is some pretty brief explanation from the real thing. Now i just hope that they would enable character transfer. =P

Hmm.. it's been awhile since i played WoW.. I just went to take a look at the community website, didn't know they updated that much within 3 months.. >.< About time they made Silithus up and running. Any new raid dungeons other than Zul' Gurub?

Lolskates so does that mean the first few times we do high end instances and we just roll and win we'll get negative DKP points next time? Just asking I'm friggin noob about this stuff.

Yes loose

Qgdewonderer here

i've read somewhere on either the site or forums that blizzard might implement char transfers....both from server to server & between accounts. the latter is because of the numerous petitions amongst players that buy 1 account but share it with their spouse, bf/gf, or family. the transfer comes with a fee. but there is a time limit between transfer. so you can't transfer chars very often. maybe once in 2 months?

We have officially passed our 40 man mark this weekend. Keep it coming guys.

I was going to transfer to archimond and start playing wow again when i read ur post. Then i read ur Epic drop system and realised that, Only hardcore player will get the drop. The point system will make it that the more time u run the instant hte more point you have. But one instant will take at least 2 hour? 3? I am not sure.
So by then None hardcore player will have a hard time to get the epic isnt it?

mc run if u are good....half of the instance already took 5 hours i think

If the raid group is very experienced and knows what to do during the raid, can probably do half instance in 3 hours or so. Provided with all the FR/Shadow Resist gear =P

That's why we'd like to keep a core group of 40 hardcore players reveur. WHen Lolskates said we passed the 40 man mark he meant hardcore players. We try not to fill ourselves up with players that aren't serious about the game. And it's more reasonable that the hardcore players that've run high end instances get the items they need isn't it? Assuming one player ran an instance 5 times and the player that ran it only once got the item? That sorta thing? Anywayz, gratz on passing the 40 man mark Lolskates~

Oh well.. Hard for me to do MC run everynight. I still need to work. >.<

A zero DKP point system is by far the fairest system. If epics was rolled on , imagine this scenario; Player A goes on 10 MC run but was unable to get any loot yet because

1)lost rolls whenever item he needed drop
2)new raid, most were inexeperienced , thus wiped many times

Finally, an epic he needs drop. He loses roll to another player who is running MC for the first time.

Doesnt seem very fair does it ?

A rolling system was initially used by guilds who ran MC back in january. It was rendered obsolote the moment DKP systems came out due to its flaws.

I remember the days when i went to MC for 8 hours just trying to learn the strategy for Ragnaros. Today the whole of MC can be cleared within 3 hours.

So yes , people who want to go to high end raids such as MC and BWL has to be hardcore, dedicated, and have the hunger to want to explore more content.

Without dedication, there will be no progress. This is the reason so many guilds are stuck in BWL. Just 3 days ago, we managed to kill chromaggus and is finally at nefarian. (Read up more about the raids i got to at www.tca-guild.com)

All this due to dedication. Everday, 2 hours is spent just to learn the encounter, knowing that most probably it will be a wipe with no loot. I can understand why not many people is not willing to do it. After all, who wants to go raid knowing there will be no loot at all?

I'm working as well. I hardly have time to play on weekdays. MC will not be every night. It will be once a week every Saturday and/or Sunday to cater for the working class.

yea. MC is only resetted after a week from killing the first boss

3 hours? including Rag? damn your guild is good
how bout BWL?

We are up to nefarian now. They spend about 2-3 hours everyday trying to beat him. I havent been able to follow them lately because it requires waking up at 5am and I have started working recently.

At the moment it's not possible for us to clear up to Nefarian in one raid because we wipe many times on the way. (usually in 3 sessions)

3 sessions. hmm....how long does that take?

3 hours of practice on nerafian everyday. wow. really hardcore

We love PWN MALAYSIAN SUPERSTAR

Just to update guild progress.

Still recruiting any classes Warlock/Druids is good

Our first MC run was on 3rd of December where we wiped at baron. It's less than 2 months and Ragnaros is finally down.

For those who are really busy at work and can't spend much time, do consider. We do MC only on 1 weekend night for 4-5hrs, thats it. Onyxia will be on the other days.

More Malaysian/Singaporeans are welcomed There are already too many hordes around, Alliances need more help.

hmm an interesting proposal.

I too have a fully epiced out Priest + PVP geared warrior in stonemaul. Guild is US guild thought and waking at 5am is sooo sad....

But starting out all over...arghhh....shudder to think that.

what are your raiding times btw ??

This post has been edited by Bladesinger: Jan 20 2006, 08:36 PM

Heya, I'm fairly new to the game but I'm interested in joining you guys. Just got the game 3 weeks ago but I have a lvl 60 warrior on Firetree already, been skipping meals and sleep to level, I'd like to think myself as pretty hardcore lol. I just picked a random server when I got the game..shoulda found this site earlier damn! Anyways, I'll roll up on Archimonde soon and give you guys a holler.

p.s what class do u guys need btw?

Hey guys, im really interested in joining you guys. Are you guys still open for new recruits? If yes, what class would you prefer more? And may i know during what day and time do you guys raid? I try creating a char in Archimonde to get in contact with one of you guys but im unable to create any char there at the moment, maybe the server is full or something.

Basically, I am just helping stee to type in here as i have not raided with them

They usually raiding at either
Saturday 6pm - 10pm/11pm (whole Luci - Rag)
Sunday 6- 10/11 (ony/BWL:wipefest, lol)

check out www.my-guild.com
