Obviously none of you are noob enough to be up to speed on this story but it's currently taking place and as we were all on the forefront of the whole thing, it's close to home so is most certainly worth sharing. Basically Flamelash is a PVP server, the one we played on. @Middle Class Caveman, @Misneach_, @J&B, @GazzaGarratt, we were all on this. When we joined it was a 60/40 Horde server, with the Horde gaining more members over time, and the Alliance not so. Before I continue this story, let me touch on the PVP system in World of Warcraft. Killing enemy players awards Honorable Kills, which in turn reward Honor Points, and Rank points. Honor points are of course a currency, however the items that can be bought using this currency ranks in Tiers. You start at T1, and make oyur way to T14. It's a very complicated system however, so all I'll say is that you're competing against your own faction for whoever has the most kills, and only the top players are awarded the higher ranks. This is where the images of people with buckets of shit under their chairs come from, because it basically boils down to whoever has the most time, plain and simple. People take months off work for this shit, it's crazy. Now, that said, none of this was implemented when we started playing. That means that whilst we could kill each other, there was zero gain from doing it. No honor, no ranks, no cash, no money, no fuck all. We were getting constantly killed by players 20+ levels higher than us, and generally in groups. It was fast becoming the most inhospitable server in the whole of WoW. Then Blizzard released what we call Phase 2, which is when the Honor system went live, and it basically became a complete and utter wankfest of a bloodbath. When I say it was impossible to play, you couldn't walk more than 100 yards without being killed and having the Horde corpse-camp you to the point that I had multiple characters all over the game world so when I was corpse camped I could log on to a different character to wait for the Horde to lose interested and move on. Blizzard eventually stepped in to try some damage control and eventually gave all Alliance players a free character migration to different servers. Pretty much the entire server upped and left, leaving the Horde with nobody to fight. The server, as it currently stands, is dead as a doornail. It's becoming a bit of a famous thing in the gaming world and people are fascinated by it. I just logged on now, and counted all the players on Alliance. You can search for players using various parameters, which you can see below: Here we have the players from level 1 to level 39. I have discounted all the level 1 players as they're all tourists who have logged on to this server just to see it for themselves: So 49 players, minus the 15 level 1s leaves 34 players. Next I did from 31-59: So 34 players + 45 players = 79 so far. Then the max level of 60: So 79 + 13 = 92 players. That's 92 players on an entire Alliance side of what was one of the busiest WoW servers in the whole EU region. For comparison, I took these screenshots a few minutes ago. This is between the bank and auction house in Ironforge, arguably the busiest hotspot on any Alliance server. This is our current server: And this is Flamelash: Keep in mind that there is only one player on this screenshot who isn't a level 1 tourist, the rest are all visiting to witness an event which we're all gonna be reading about in a few years' time. I suspect it'll be called the Flamelash Exodus. Here's a screenshot of the WoW Flamelash forum: If you search for Flamelash on Youtube, this is the result: As you can see, these events are widely known all over the world at the moment. I'm personally glad we left ages ago, I couldn't even begin to imagine what a clusterfuck it must be right now to try find even a 5 man group. There's a whole element of the way ex-Flamelash players are being treated on their new servers too, so I'm sort of glad I transferred when I did so I avoided all that bollocks too. Interesting times in the WoW universe, that's for sure. Let's see what Blizzard does to fix this!

Totally agree, good games last night smooth movement good gun play and alot of fun especially as most of us didn't have a clue. Oh and big fucking robots 👍
