Please lock the raids while server progression is decided.

Post#1 » Wed May 06, 2026 1:26 pm

Now that the server has been up for about a week I think it's pretty important to communicate server progression and lock the raids while it's being decided. Starting with just Onyxia and MC and then releasing each progressive raid/catch up raids every 3 months or so will be much healthier for the server overall, allow devs to work on fixes and content with some breathing room, and give the community a clear focus for the server.

Having even Onyxia and MC locked for a few weeks allows devs to do some preliminary tests to ensure everything is working fine enough, while allowing the server to see more level 60's to farm level 60 dungeons for pre-bis before jumping into the first raid.

I understand the focus right now is bringing all the classes to the 1.18.1 state, but it should be simple enough to lock the raids in an update this week while all this is decided

We agree and apologize for the delay in announcing this. Please keep an eye out for an announcement to drop this weekend about the phase decisions! In the meantime, we have locked things to phase 1.

Also don't change the fact that we don't lose our progres during the beta test.
People are putting in the hours. We don't want it all to be gone at release.

We like to help testing but it also motivates to keep on testing if the progres is being kept :)

Yeah true, was wondering about that myself, but imho is K10 okey. At least it is an easier start into MC. The purpose of progression is that people dont have to stress to play as much as possible and clear as much as possible as fast as possible. Havin K10 open does not diminish that imho.
