So here is the dish on what is gonna happen this coming Saturday, August 19th, 2017... Neverendless will no longer be a custom gear realm. You will keep banks, guild banks, reps, all historic values, and achievements. But you will no longer have custom gear. Viarax will be shutting the server off at some point on Friday evening London time. We purged about 10gb of our 30gb database this past weekend of dead data. When the server goes down this time it will be to update the core to our new GEN2 version of 3.3.5 Wrath of the Lich King.
We will be keeping the old customs realm as a fun realm for a little bit but it will be going away very soon. Once we are done with all the backend work we will go live on Sunday afternoon or evening London time and we will be fully converted. We are going to be posting the policy of how we will be doing the gear replacement. Now, think about it. We are only able to replace with in-game gear. If you already have that gear we can't add it again. Professions will not be changed so that is not going to be a factor. I plan on just adding gear, equal to what you had so if you had a full custom set we will give you a full PVP or PvE set. We may also (doing the math on this one atm) add a specific amount of chips to account for donors.
There are so many variables it is going to take me a bit to figure this part out. It will not be a full refund of all chip. Look at it as I do, you all donated and we used the donations to pay developers, servers, storage, and expenses. That money was spent, you got to use the items for a very long time so I feel they have been a pretty fair trade off for all concerned. I am willing to consider replacing some chips and how we will do it is still under discussion. Please don't make silly assed suggestions and jokes or insults for that matter.
As this is currently a team of about 6 people we are short handed and what ever I decide to do will be out of the kindness of my heart not required regardless of what everyone thinks I am a fair and honorable person. Some of this stuff will take time. I will tell you that insults and jabs in the game and in the forums or Facebook will simply get deleted. If you have a gripe come to me directly. I am easy to contact and although I am back in college full time getting my masters degree and PhD. in computer science I am going to be online for hours in game daily US time.
Some of you already want to take shots at me and that's fine. I won't tolerate insults and attacks as in the past I didn't. Remember, the rules are mine, my staffs and you have to follow them. I can be very accommodating if treated fairly by players. I can also be a flaming asshat if treated poorly. I won't make excuses for that as I want everyone to have fun and if I think you are ruining that then I will act accordingly. Let us all come together and make NE a fun place to enjoy WOW again.
