| 00:00 - 00:05 | So we started this private WoW server, TurtleWoW |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | "make some extra content" |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | with custom raids and dungeons |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | add a few new items, bloodring for arena and hardcore leveling |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | But it keeps crashing every 5 minutes |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | and then.. |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | and then.. |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | people die and ask for their dead characters back |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | and then.. |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | they tell stories like "my character drowned during the disconnect" |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | and they think we will restore the characters they have lost |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | during the most recent crash. |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | But |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | of course we dont |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | we dont recover shit |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | They get to start all over again! |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | it says: |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | "we do not recover lost characters" |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | start over again you pleb |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | Oh and you remember all that custom content that we wanted? Like Black Morass? |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | It was open once |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | Closed for half a year now |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | But seriously, we added a bunch of new dungeons and custom items |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | and we are working on a new raid |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | Working really hard |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | For years now |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | Meanwhile the server |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | just keeps crashing |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | we just say "we are investigating" |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | but we.. |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | we.. |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | we... |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | All we do instead |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | is chill on discord and read the salt from the players |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | All upset how they cant play a 16 year old game |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | is it a lot? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | yes, the channels are full |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | They all just want to play |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | but the server stays down |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | But we start it up again eventually |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | How many HC characters die in a crash? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | It varies from time and day, its a few during the week |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | but on weekends it is a lot with all those players online |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | and all the naxx raids |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | Sometimes we bet... |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | we bet on how many died in a crash |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | i think the record is close to 100 |
