Results of 2014 year

[Juster]

The current year is coming to an end, and after a couple of days we will celebrate the new, 2015 year, I would like to sum up the 2014 year for project PandaWoW, to talk about New Year's discounts-events and to share plans on the future:

 

Realms:

 

In early 2014, our realms were updated to patch 5.4.2 - it gave us the impetus to the development, total online has increased by almost 2-fold and began to reach a peak of 14 thousand, making us the largest MoP server in the world.

On patch 5.4.2 was released 11 large updates, aimed at both PvP and PvE contents, but to a greater extent for PvP - it allowed us to become a leader in PvP content, among other projects.

In the autumn we are the first in the world have updated realms to the client patch 5.4.8 (5.4.7 for server code), after that we have difficulties with crash server-client, but a few weeks later we were able to completely solved this problems, thanks to all the players who supported us in that not easy period and stayed with us.

 

Now more detail about significant changes on realms:

 

- Have been rewritten and implemented almost all of the dungeons and raids from content Classic, TBC, Wotlk, Cata.

- Have been rewritten and implemented all the dungeons and raids from MoP content except ToT, SoO and 2 dungeons with updated from classics.

- Fixed about 50-70 bug reports for spells in each class.

- Fixed more than 1 thousand bug reports on the database (quests, creature/go, loot).

- Implemented a Spectator to see fights in the arena.

- Lots of changes and custom patches for Fun server, that made this realm one of the best in the world and the largest number of players among his own kind of game worlds, hello AT (special greetings will give after the implementation of cross-server arena).

- Was implemented passive anticheat, which is almost completely solved the problem of cheaters on realms.

- Implemented a mod for a client, that allows you to play on MoP with models from WoD.

Plans for 2015 year:

 

Our project has always positioned itself as a PvP server, we have given this a higher priority than PvE, but as you may have noticed in recent months by working together with the project WoW Circle, we started to fixes and PvE part, plans for the release of the remaining raids look as follows:

 

- 5-7 update, release of all the bosses in the raid Throne of Thunder + fixes to the current instances which have already been implemented.

- 8-10 update, release of all the bosses in the raid Siege of Orgrimmar + fixes to the current instances(if anything remains of course).

 

Thus tentatively, in March we will be fully implemented raid Throne of Thunder (first boss will appear in the 5th update), and in June fully implemented Siege of Orgrimmar (first boss will appear in the 8th update), most likely it will happen much faster, but it is better to take timing with a margin.

 

It's briefly about plans for PvE content, for PvP, we will continue to work actively on spells and mechanics, also will finish the remaining BG Silvershard Mines.

 

Of the more global changes:

 

- Cross-server for Arena-BG, which has long been awaited by many players, will allow us to combine in a single battle group of players from all 3 current realms and provide non-stop proc Arena-BG at any time.

- Patch finder, this helps for the correct logics for pets/mobs and fix many bugs with texture after using spells, etc.

- Battle pets(planned to release in 5th update).

- Started implement achievements from MoP content(planned to start from 5-6th updates).
