Legion is here! sort of.

Have you ever wanted to play TBC with Legion NPC models?
Today is the day! Thanks to BambyTube we can!

Is wowme required?

Apparently a version with many mounts and other things is in the works but requires WoWMe to operate.
This version doesn’t require WoWMe.

Is it bannable?

Check with your local server if it’s a bannable offense.
I definitely had fun playing with it on Outland/Warmane but your mileage may vary.

Installation Instructions

• Download the MPQ file here
• Copy the file into the Data folder. (c:\wow\Data for me)
• Login and enjoy, it’s that easy!

What is Super Mario 64 Online?

SM64 Online is a project by Kaze Emanuar, Melonspeedruns and Marshivolt. Built atop a Super Mario 64 ROM which lets people connect online, choose a character from the Mushroom Kingdom and play the game however they want. You can do traditional stuff like just clearing stages, you can have speedrun races or even just build a giant battle royale!

The official website for SM64 online is sm64o.com

Get in on the action before it’s gone

With all things similar to private servers, the fear is that copyright strikes are on the way. This online version of the game is built off a Super Mario 64 ROM and the team behind it previously got hit with a DMCA takedown from Nintendo. The original launch video has already been taken down via DMCA from Youtube but for now, this is an awesome addition to a classic!

Downloading and installing Project 64 (free N64 emulator) and downloading Super Mario 64:

• The game requires the latest version of Project 64 installed on your PC.
• Download a working super mario 64 ROM and place the .zip in a folder named Roms wherever you want on your PC.

Announcement

Project Elysium is pleased to announce some major and exciting changes: The Crestfall project is fully joining the Elysium Project, uniting the World of Warcraft legacy servers community once again!

The official Elysium announcement can be seen Here.
You can read Crestfall’s announcement for further details here.

What does this mean for Elysium?

All of the former Crestfall staff members will be integrated into the project where they will continue their current duties as Developers, Testers, Community Managers, Game Masters and Moderators.

For now, core development will remain seperate, meaning that the Crestfall developers will fully commit their work to the fresh multi-expansion Benediction core, which when completed will benefit the project as a whole. Once it is done, we will launch the world’s first private realms to fully progress through all World of Warcraft expansions (PTE).

On this occasion, we would like to welcome the Crestfall team, as well as all their followers, to the Elysium Project. Together, we will be able to accelerate our quest on providing the best and most authentic World of Warcraft experience!

What does this mean for Crestfall?

Crestfall will run as a separate realm under the Elysium umbrella, meaning that the Crestfall team can run their servers on Elysium hardware, via Elysium‘s bandwidth, paid for by Elysium donations, and administrated by an Elysium Sysadmin.That Sysadmin happens to be Crogge, who as you will know, was a co-owner of the Crestfall project.

This effectively eliminates any of the start-up or maintenance cost concerns that the Crestfall staff had because all the equipment is already paid for, tested, and running. Secondly, passing off ownership and management of the project to the Elysium team eliminates a number of concerns from a legal perspective, particularly for Asura who, although he lives in Europe now, is a US citizen who visits there regularly.

Thirdly, it lets the Crestfall development team focus on what they want to do, which is develop, and hopefully get this monster unleashed in a reasonable timeframe.

This is the Hardware Store song by Weird Al. This song is hilarious and I wanted to share it with you guys!!

This song is my favorite wow related song. It’s truly a song that I will never forget and with all of the TBC servers coming out recently, I feel like it deserves to be on the top.
