    There are other, much faster moving servers if you're looking for that content sooner.

    12 weeks per expansion from classic to GoD. LoY is bundled with PoP. After GoD, any expansion that has a level increase is 12 weeks and any without a level increase is 8 weeks.

    I cross referenced all the way to Luclin (which is as far as I could go I think) with a guildie with the in game calendar at the time.

    Got it, Mangler dead around May or June when next server comes out with slightly adjusted xp rates.

    We need an official comment from a dev on this.

    Also /calendar in game gives a 6 hour window of 4pm-10pm for the unlock on June 5. This is unusual because normally expansions unlock at a specific time.

    Expansions NEVER unlock in their entirety at a specific time. A script has to run to populate all the new zones with their NPCs, add new NPCs to existing zones, etc etc. It generally takes at least a few hours for this process to occur. For a very large expansion like PoP, devs can budget six hours. It might be done in a little less. The alternative is for them to shutdown the entire server for that length of time.

    Do people just pull this out of their ? PoP unlocked within minutes you were able to get to PoK and PoT if you were lucky before the jam. All the zones were populated and you were able to zone in and kill Gryme within 15mins on Coirnav.
  16. Guzzle Augur

    Yes, that's because they unlock on the same day, an hour apart.
  17. Captain Video Augur


    So maybe they've optimized the scripts more recently, it wasn't nearly that fast on Phinny. I don't play on Coirnav. The point is there are scripts, it doesn't all happen instantly, never did. Conceptually it's no different from when servers go down for monthly patches; in that instance it could be a few hours, it could be 10-12 hours, the devs always give their best guesstimate for how long it will take. We've all been there.

    Apparently. The key is to carry a clipboard.

    Phinny was a cluster****. Remember doors that wouldn't open for hours because of all the lag? Completely overwhelmed hardware was the problem, not "unlock scripts".
