Wrath of The Lich King = Carnage for Many Emu pPeople

[mafiaboy]

So after having seen people complain that the new database from silvermoon repack v7 was a lot for their computer , I though to myself ;

" So with an extra 10 -13 areas added with small go objects, what will happen when a whole other expansion will have to be emulated?"

Think of it, the Wrath of the Lich King is supposed to be a MAJOR change from the last expansion, WoW wants to change that questing and grinding is the only way to lvl , apparently the quests will be MUCH different. This is all stuff that has to be scripted inside ascent!

So what who cares?Wrong.... This will mean ascent will take up more memory.

Now that's only stuff that has to be scripted. Once ascent is taking up much more RAM , your computer has to be good enough to hold all the new go's Wrath of The Lich King brought, and I'm not talking about stacked tables, I'm talking about huge buildings, new go's and then small go's with at least another thousand spawned.

I'm not 100% sure of this, but it sure sounds like it won't reduce the memory usage my ascent...

I really think that not everybody will be able to host a wow server any more when Wrath of the Lich King is even 1/2 scripted. Anybody today with a Pentium 4 can just download ascent and run it smoothly, when this comes out.... i don't think Pentium 4 users will be running ascent smoothly at all...

Imagine spawning Stormwind 10 times in your server all together? Only the people who already own good machines and own a server with many people and get good amounts of donations will live, the rest won;t cash out money just to emulate WoW.

Another thing, apart from the memory usage and computer needed, when patch 2.3.0 came out with Zul aman, it tooks about 2 weeks to get it fully spawned.... How long do you think it's going to emulate a whole other expansion :P

Good luck c++ scripters....

I think ascent will prob make a new emu so there will be ascent for tbc and whatever for wrath of the leech king

[*Alexz*]

ya they will probly update it so theres less ram usage by then

[mafiaboy]

so the 1337 servers will be ranked the best on xtremetop100, all others with computers from fisher-price will get pwned by the servers run on 2k machines.

Less competition for me

Scary thought but im safe But i feel the people making these revs and stuff are gonna be like screw that.. lol

[mafiaboy]

ya they will probly update it so theres less ram usage by then

i do think they will work on memory usage, but they can only reduce it to a certain extent.....were talking about making the game prbly 20-30% bigger here....

[2dgreengiant]

dbc files will be HUGE

[mafiaboy]

dbc files will be HUGE

forget the dbc, imagine the maps!

[2dgreengiant]

oh jesus the maps will be like 10gb

[*Alexz*]

good thing my comp has like 500gigs xD

(Correct me if I'm wrong)

I don't use ascent much, but I don't think memory and stuff would increase that much...sure it will lag more but doesn't ascent only load certain maps / game objects / creatures once a player is ___ near it?

(As in it loads ON the server, but in a way to reduce lag. If everything was loaded at once, like Ludmilla used to do, it would take up 4gb + RAM..with just TBC)

[2dgreengiant]

The database tho would be huge with the new items

[*Alexz*]

ya but the big servers someone is near all the objects always xD

[Matis02]

High spec servers would be able to do it, Thats what its made for :P. Little servers will be weeded out and become useless.

[*Alexz*]

well on the bright side wotlk will be a great filter from those horrible servers with high lat =P
