    Odds are a user-made mod had that functionality to begin with, then Bliz said "that's a good idea, we should steal it!" and suddenly it appears in the game without giving credit to the people that actually made it and rendering the user-accessible tools required for it inoperable.

    Cause, you know, that's how Blizzard's been "innovating" with their UI since release.

     

    Yeah, silly blizzard, just stealing other people's ideas...

    ...oh wait, it was a major innovation to create a UI framework that could be modified in way that were absolutely unheard of in an MMO before.  As in, people as still coming up with new and creative ways to work with it.  It was revolutionary.  It is still unequaled, even in WAR.  Sorry you're so bitter about life to accept that.

    And the mod was called "group calendar".  As is the case with many software / technology companies, user innovations which are both outstanding and so widely used that they become a de facto "standard" are usually incorporated into the official product.

    Sad, bitter and nasty people here.

    Oh and BTW, WAR still blows ;)

    
     

    Blizzard/WoW fanbois always give me a good chuckle.

• • Know nothing really about computer. Can mine run it?

  • Thanks for all the help! I don't really care too much about amazing graphics so I'll be just fine, it's ran fine with many other new mmos too.  I just have much better things to waste money on than computer stuff so as long as it will run decently I'm happy.

• • Know nothing really about computer. Can mine run it?

  • Not sure exactly what all this means but My comp is Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz, I have 2GB of RAM and my video card is Radeon x600 256MB HyperMemory.  Running on high graphics isn't really important to me I would just like to know if my comp will run the game smoothly. Thank you.

• • Have you ever played an MMO whilst drunk?

  • Haha oh yea, totally done that before.  I never really did anything embarrasing I guess.  Although considering I was a cleric grouping drunk probably wasn't the best idea, oh well!

    So I should grab the free trial and head for a classic server? I'll give that a shot.

     

    Whats the differences between the normal servers and classic? Classic just has less content (no Trials of Atlantis)? Whats the reasoning behind that?

     

    There isn't a difference anymore.

    When Trials of Atlantis first came out, unless you were a raider in a good guild, you couldn't compete in RvR.

    The people who raided the artifacts and leveled them up, and had all their master levels had a big advantage over the casual players in the RvR.

    However all of that is a thing of the past.

    Artifacts can now be obtained many by solo encounter, the harder ones needing only 1 full group at the most.  Which is 8 players. This is easily achieved as many people like doing the artifacts just for the fun of it, because its challenging.

    Master levels on the normal servers are ran now weekly by battlegroups. There are websites for the clusters that will tell you when these will take place, it is also easily figured out by just asking players.

    Long story short when you visit most forums, the most rapid and common response is to always join the classic instantly.

    It is true that classic is more populated, however classic is very bland. You will have access to NOTHING that isn't player made. You will never have anything different or look any different than any other member of your realm. It is as plain jane as it gets.

    People like classic because of it's even terms of battle. You can never really be any better than anyone else, so it will always come down to numbers in a fight. Whichever side has more players (assuming they know their roles) will always win.

    People like normal because it offers access to everything the game has to offer. It offers challenges that classic just cannot provide. You can truly be unique and better than other players not only in skill but items and abilities.

     

    Those are the major differences.

     

    Hope it helps.

    
     

    I disagree with your reasoning on the difference between regular and classic servers.  But as far as which server to start in I would say classic for sure.
