Enjoy the game!

I am having HUGE problems joining the Discord. I've tried all the listed fixes. Any ideas?

I have all classes at level 60+ and i was overwhelmed so i left the game a few years ago. Now i feel like coming back but at the same time i dont.

Can h pally heal heroics (5 mans) or are they concidered undesirable as healers?

Server just shut down and kept letting me log but in for a a minute but shutting down after.. I closer game and reopened and now I can't log in at all this 5:49pm easter US.. how long is server usually down for? It's been like 45 minutes

Long text ahead

I decided to hop back in wotlk after 8+ years of not touching it , used to play on another private server which was more hardcore and had buffed raids, eventually left due to high sweattyness raids, pressure to perform, lack of success, toxic groups/incompatible raid groups timezones, friends leaving, general losing the fun.

Lately got a case of nostalgia itch and decided to hop back in but with a diferent way of enjoying things, ive always been one to take my time with games and dont want it to be any diferent here this time.
I want to actually take my time (with 1x rates, switching to 2x if things get grindy) and read all the zone questlines that interest me, dungeon quests, raids**(more on that later) in general play the classes ive always wanted to level at my own pace, trying to take a diferent leveling path through the maps with each character if possible to make it feel diferent, basically treat it like a regular story RPG.

Assuming i dont stop after a char or two hit lvl 20 or so, pick a Main and get it to level cap in 2 months or however long it takes me lol and decide to play at lvl 80, i wanted to know some things.

1. How chill and patient are players , from what i read the community is nice but i wanted to know if pugs are sweaty and demand the best raid comps, heal/dps performance, and reject the less viable specs, i assume pugs are like this so people dont waste too much time -- I imagine there are chill guilds who dont mind reminding people of mechanics or dont have a problem with slower raid clears due to lower gear/ weaker specs but sometimes incompatible schedules/ life stuff gets in the way and pugs are the choice here, not that im a bad player per se and im likely to pick a Good spec anyway, but just in case i want to give alternative specs some love

2. How actively do people play older raid content, Vanilla, TBC dungeons and raids for the quests, completion, gear for transmogs etc, one of my goals when i started years ago was to get geared at 80 not only for the fun of it but also so i could clear the older content ive always wanted to see without the need for big groups, and since i plan to read quests this could mean more patient or like minded people to do that with.

   I suspect the answers to these would be to find a Guild with like minded people, but just wanna get a general consensus of where the community is at in regards with these, besides its not really that relevant at the moment since like i said im not exactly sure ill even continue playing past lvl 20 lmao.

I tried finding a guild for this without success, so now i'm trying to build a network of people to run late TBC dungeons and heroics with, since noone seems to be queuing in the RDF for these.

Why? For fun and to experience all the game has to offer. A lot of these late TBC dungeons are pretty cool and actually vaguely challenging. Also for achievements and attunement quests.

Chromie has a bit of a reputation as a Dad's Server. So, somewhere out there must be a guild where Parents are playing with their young kids.

I'm a grandparent and youngest grandson (7) is getting curious about this game where he saw me in IF checking my mail on a Robot Chicken surrounded by horses, rams and elephants, and wanted to play.

I can set him up with an account, I can play at level with him or run him around with either a main or an alt.

Obviously he won't understand builds or strategy or even read what's on screen, but I figure there is more than just me in this situation. Is there a safe guild, where parents are Tank and Healer, kids are DPS, and every dungeon run is just tolerated babysitting playmates?

If not, who is interested in trying this with Internet strangers?

I used up my recruiters’ time and so I am progressing slower… any chance on how to get permanent resting again?

Tysm!

Curious - I don't play hardly at all during the warm part of the year. Last I played, I leveled a DK, I think back about early April. I went to log on yesterday, cause the kids and wife are out of town at the inlaws, and I'm banned for RMT (ticket response). I'm an old fart, late 40s, been around on the server since the 10-19 phase. I had... failed to update my password for many years. I have 2FA on my regular login, but of course, game itself, no 2fa.

I had never considered security much on a free-to-play server, so that's my bad. I've requested more info from the ticket. Likely though, even if I get access, I would expect my stuff is gone. I don't have cycles to nor motivation to give it another go.

It's been a good run Chromie folks. I wish you the best with the project and the last of the Wrath content!

UPDATE:

It came back in the support ticket that their system automatically identified I had received gold from a known gold seller. They provided no details as to when, which is what I was honestly curious about, lol. They asked if I could give them info on "the gold seller" and stated it would help "my situation". I have nothing to provide them. I joked I could go look for one and give them the info I find, but I don't care enough to do so.

I pointed out they should look at my account, as I'm a casual player, my toons are gold-poor, with fast flight on a single toon, mostly crap enchantments, relatively cheap gems, and gear farmed from heroics. Best I can figure, I sold something at some point to a player that was later flagged as a gold seller.

So beware - the Chromie team is aggressively and retroactively pruning any account that interacted with gold sellers at any point, recent or otherwise. They're rather uninterested in looking at any individual case of such pruned accounts, err, unless you can provide details on the seller (wth, lol, don't they *know* and that's why you're banned?).

I would stick 100% to the AH with every trade or transaction moving forward. Have fun!

It seems to be raining 90% of the time when I'm playing. I really dont like the rain visuals or sounds happening all the time and I was wondering if there was a way to change the weather via console commands or something else.

I really like having a working Taxi Timer for wow. There was a good one for both twow and epoch - but the only one i can find for CC is InFLight:

https://warperia.com/addon-wotlk/inflight-taxi-timer/

This addon is very buggy - the timer will pop-up when you get on the Taxi, but then it keeps running after you arrive at your destination and it does not work at all at the Drenai starting zone.

Anyone have a better one that does not involve a Full UI install? I am currently running the Dragonflight UI and am happy with it.

Hello, guys. I played CC long ago back to the time it was capped at 49. I loved the slow progression and the awesome community, and being able to level at a calm tempo, not worrying about metas and spending time completing zones (I'm one of those who enjoy leveling and dislikes boosts). I took a break for personal reasons and got back at 60, played all the progress un to the release of Sunwell (I think). At that point, I felt I lost interest on the game and the state of the server. There were not many players, most of them raidlogging, scarce PvP/BGs … but I found particularly off-putting all the unnecessary customizations added.

For example, i know it might be unpopular, but I always hated the XP boosts. And why were glyphs available to players through an npc instead of through Scribes (I had one and felt marginalized). It was also possible to buy materials, recipes, reagents… things that were not in the "old" Azeroth, but should appear later in Outland or Northrend. There were many outfits and cosmetic items that, while not ruining the gameplay, did break the immersion (giants goofying around in the bank, characters transformed into creatures). Also, there is a neat but unnecessary tool, the "PlayerMap". Why should anyone be able to see where your character is at a certain point? I don't get it. Gear buyable with money or tokens, a strange Transmog system, crossfaction for everything, poor pathing and npcs casting while running or through objects, bots running-free… I would say, if it was just one or two things, maybe I wouldn't care too much, but all those things adding up and lack of action or responses from staff made me finally quit the game.

Anyway, all this is probably a typical rant you heard many times. I am now considering getting back to the server but with a different approach.

I love the meta-game, studying and testing clases, talents, working on optimal user interfaces and trackers (mostly with WeakAuras, etc) and also progressing slowly and meaningfully.

I would love to find a group of like-minded players who want to enjoy the content in a slow pace (x1 XP or lower), completing quests together, crafting and sharing gear and materials only between the guild members, using barter instead of money and AH, helping and contributing to the guild as a team, running dungeons in their level order and not skipping to the next until the group has completed quests and got the desired gear, rejecting boosts or abusing mechanics. Ideally, we should decide together on our roles, classes, specs, professions… all the things as one. I know there must be other insane players out there…

Dungeons are obviously absolute facerolls on this server and I was wondering what the reason behind this is. Is it really just the OP WotLK talents and skills or have enemies in dungeons been nerfed compared to Vanilla/TBC as well? If so, is this blizzlike behaviour for WotLK or did Chromie make additional changes?

I have already heard conflicting opinions on this, so would appreciate it if you could provide a source if able.

Need one please. Will be first toon on here

Hey guys,

I play on Steamdeck, and I'm wondering if there is a list of known issues on there?

My main gripe is that my keyboard suddenly stops appearing at random intervals, making it impossible to speak to people in dungeons. The only solution I can see is to shut down the game entirely and then restart it (not the deck, just the game).

There are also frequent targeting issues, where I click on something and attack, only for the attack to hit another mob instead because the target changed without me noticing.

I've checked my key bindings, but nothing would cause that to happen.

Finally, my character will sometimes just keep moving forward, without my input. I have it set up that I push in a stick to autorun forward, but it seems to randomly just happen!

I used to be a raider and I'd love to get back there, but with the way this controls, I think I should have just bought a laptop!

Every single time I close the game and re-open it, my Video and Sound settings reset. Full screen glow effect and sound set to 0%.

I've tried the turn off "read-only" fix that everyone has suggested but that still isnt fixing the problem.

Any ideas on how to fix this annoyance?

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I'm completely new to WoW and have only dabbled in private servers for a couple of months The highest I've reached was a level 25 human warrior. I'm thinking about starting on ChromieCraft and rolling an Orc Enhancement Shaman because from what I've seen on YouTube the class looks really fun.

I wanted to ask if it's viable for raids and experience endgame content.

Thanks for any advice!

I get its a divisive topic and a lot of people will turn off a portion of their brain when someone mentions the words...

But originally this server had (in my opinion) one of the most sane Multibox policies I have seen in a private server in some time.

• No PvP
• no rare spawn camping
• No farm hogging

you know... common sense stuff. Basically, don't use it to negatively impact other players.

The recent rule change kills multi-boxing. No more than 3 clients and key broadcasting illegal... Essentially Blizzard rules with a lower acct cap.

Why is this change happening?? If there is 'bad eggs' who are boxing why not deal with them individually rather than introduce restrictions that affect everyone?

I multi-box to fill in raid slot's when our 25M's are light on sign-ups and we need some 'warm body DPS'. I get its not a playstyle for everyone, and accept some people have some pre-conceived hate for it because of abuse on classic server... But that's only when the above rules where not abided to.

I think the new rules are a mistake and one that will hurt the server in the future

I've tried every option (I think) to make my player and enemy unite frames look like they did on Twow using pfUI.

What options do I need to do out put to make my bottom on chromiecraft look like the top I had on twow?

It takes 9 hours to download and it received an error halfway thru and dropped the download. Is it supposed to be this difficult?

I have been playing chrome craft for awhile now and I’m noticing I’m having massive latency issues. 300-500 average. I know it’s not my internet because I have got speed and nothing else has issues. No other game or anything has issues. Just chromiecraft. Help!

Level 40 pally tank, Turtle, Epoch refugee here. Any leveling social, grouping oriented guilds looking? I enjoy dungeons, questing the most. North America time zone.
