写在前面：暂时没有公开说明是否是P2W服

关于P2W：”Pay to win"从没有真正的定义，非要给它下个定义的话就是“当一个玩家通过现实货币获得对其他玩家的优势之时”。如今开发者们通过提供一些华而不实的优势来尝试避免“P2W"指控，这种情况，即使他们不会承认，也是不公平的。玩游戏的时候有些玩家砸钱买高级装备什么的， 结果他们的等级比那些技术好但是没有花钱的人高，这对靠技术的人很不公平， 于是就会说那些花钱刷等级的人是pay to win。



Warmane名为Outland的高质量TBC分区即将开放，期待大家加入!


Greetings Warmane community,
We are proud and exuberant to announce that Warmane will soon offer a realm that will feature The Burning Crusade expansion. It has been etched in our minds for many years, a subject we were always keen on taking on but always stayed away due to the poorly realized emulation and our will to deliver a quality gaming experience. Many staff members recall it as our favourite expansion and it took a toll on us to decline player suggestions of it ever coming to fruition. It has been only a faint dream for both the Warmane community and us, until now.

致敬Warmane社区：

我们骄傲并热切地宣布Warmane不久将提供一个TBC版本的游戏分区，我们已经筹划了很多年了，开设TBC服务器是我们一直渴望的事，不过由于对模拟器的准备不足一直没有实施，我们现在的目标是给大家提供高质量的游戏体验。许多团队成员回忆起TBC认为它是我们最喜爱的版本，如果我们谢绝玩家的建议抑或不去实现它，这对我们来说是重大损失，长久以来直到现在它一直是我们和Warmane社区一个模糊的梦。


服务器起源


The way we designed Lordaeron was always so its content can be versatile and immediately implemented on other expansions we have offered. What we also, immediately realized is because the content is so versatile, it can go backwards as well. Whilst Lordaeron was taking its shape, so was Outland, slowly but surely, adapting itself to Lordaeron's image and quality.

我们设计Lordaeron（warmana一个3.35版本分区名字）的方式是保持它的通用性以便可以立即扩展到别的服务器，随即我们也意识到，既然它如此通用，我们也可以用它回溯到以前的版本。同时以Lordaeron为雏形，对于Outland，我们确信也可以逐步开发出适应Lordaeron的影像和质量的服务器。

And so it was born, in summer of 2016, first ever Burning Crusade realm forged by Warmane, based on the legendary Lordaeron and the new Icecrown realm. Over the many months since then, we have spent perfecting it until it lived up to the Warmane name.


服务器开发


所以，就这样在2016年夏天产生了第一个warmane打造的基于传奇的Lordaeron分区的烧远征分区，自那时以来过去很多月了，我们不断的完善着它直到不辜负warmana这个名字。

The realm itself offers something unseen before when it comes to the Burning Crusade projects. As the thread name itself suggests, Warmane has left its mark of purity and completeness on it. Therefore on its launch, it will mark many firsts in the world of TBC emulation. The realm will offer a truly unique experience and on it's launch it will be the most complete Burning Crusade realm in the world. Among many features, here are some worthwhile mentions:

Remarkable stability and performance, bearing player amounts similar to Icecrown, if not higher.

Properly working transports in the truest sense of the word, collision calculations, pathfinding on the transports for players, NPCs and pets.

就燃烧远征服务器而论，这个服务器有着非凡的意义。如同服务器名字本身，warmana印迹已经完成和彻底的消除。所以这个服务器一旦开放，它将创造TBC模拟器世界的很多项第一。服务器一旦开放，它将是世界上修复最完整的，并且将给大家提供真正独特的体验

。在该服务器众多特性中，下面这些是值得提及的：

卓越的稳定性和性能；承受的玩家数量即使不超过寒冰皇冠服务器也会和其相近（应该是至少1万以上）；最真实感觉的精确运行的交通工具，碰撞计算，玩家、NPC和宠物行进寻路。

Pathfinding in all instances, the world and arenas in which years of development went in.

Fully working spells, mechanics and such, based on many years of experience that went into creating and running tournament realms.

Outstanding and proven record anti-cheat with frequent updates, optimizations, anti-spamming detection systems and shadow punishment systems ensuring that being a cheater never pays off.

Fully working dungeons and raids with tiniest details taken into account.

Fully working quests, events and outstanding quality of such. Instead of writing a thousand words, we'll let them speak by themselves. Examples can be found below at the end of the thread.

各副本内，世界和竞技场内的寻路我们已经投入开发了很多年，完美运行的施法系统，机制等也是基于我们很多年投入tournament服务器创建和运行的经验。

强力的也被证明创纪录了的反欺诈系统不断升级、优化以及反垃圾信息检测系统和影子处罚系统确保作弊者绝不会得逞。

完美运行的副本和团本考虑各种微小细节。

完美运行的任务、事件和这些体现出来高质量游戏体验。我们就不在一一赘述了让服务器自己说话证明自己吧。在跟帖的后面可以找到例子。



分区设置


As months of development have been poured into the project, the realm design has been an ongoing subject of discussion among ourselves. Whilst the realm provides outstanding quality and could easily be a x1 realm we have decided to provide a realm designed for the majority of the playerbase we serve, a high-rate PvP realm. If there is enough demand, an x1 realm can be provided at a later time. The design of the realm will be as following:

x5 experience rate.

All other rates will be x1.

The realm will be progression based.

在对该服务器投入大量精力开发几个月后，服务器的开放已经在我们内部提上议程。这是高质量的服务器，我们本可以设置一个x1 倍率分区，然而考虑到我们服务器的玩家群体的大多数人，我们决定提供一个更高倍率的PVP分区，当然如果有很多人要求，一个x1倍率的分区也可能会晚些时候开放。最终分区设置将如下：

X5 经验率

所有其它扔为 X1 倍率（物品和金币掉率等）

分区是进度渐进开放的。



质量承诺


We are dedicated to provide a worthwhile experience for both heroes that are driven to defeat the most challenging content and those who seek to fight for glory in Arenas and Battlegrounds. Outland will exceed any other TBC realm in quality, performance, stability and reliability in the same way our Wrath of the Lich King realms tower over anything else. We invite everyone to join us on our Public Test Realm and try out the content themselves. The PTR is scheduled to appear on our list of realms on April 11, 2017!
This is just a small piece of quality content Outland will offer, more will come. Examples can be found below:

我们致力于给那些有能力战胜最具挑战性PVE内容和那些在竞技场和战场为荣誉而战的英雄们提供应有价值的体验。Outland将在质量、性能、稳定性和可靠性方面超过任何其它TBC服务器就像我们的WLK服务器超过其它任何同类服务器一样。我们邀请大家加入我们的公开测试服（PTR）亲自检验服务器质量。我们的PTR分区计划在4月11号开放。

以上提及的高质量内容只是Outland服提供的一小部分，后续将更多。下面能找到一些例子。


The clock has officially turned April 2nd now and thousands of players are waiting for us to lift the courtain and reveal our April Fools joke. We hereby proudly announce that Outland, the Warmane Burning Crusade realm, will become reality and as one of our most ambitious projects to date. Months and months of preparations have gone into this release and we wanted to start it off with humour and a light heart.
现在已经是4月2号了，成千上万的玩家在等着我们拉开窗帘揭露这个愚人节玩笑，我们特此骄傲地宣布Outland这个warmane燃烧远征分区将成为现实并成为一个我们迄今为止最雄心勃勃的服务器。在月复一月的准备工作之后服务器即将开放，我们想要以幽默和心情放松的方式开始。


Let's answer some questions that have been going around the forums!
下面我们回答一下论坛中提出的一些问题：


Q: When did you start working on a TBC realm?
A: We started nearly a year ago, but to be pretty honest, we had a really good base.
问：你们什么时候开始谋划的TBC服务器？

答：我们在差不多一年前就开始了，毫不掩饰地说，我们有非常好的基础。


Q: What do you mean good base?
A: The core (underlying code that runs the realm) is based off the core that we used for our Wrath of the Lich King realms. Keep in mind, that it is only based on it, everything on it is TBC.
问：你们说的好基础是指什么？

答：TBC的核心（我们运行TBC服的潜在代码）是基于我们WLK分区的核心，但请记住，我们只是以它的核心为基础，其它的所有都是TBC新内容。


Q: Why x5?
A: Most people that play Warmane, play on higher rates. The realm could be x1 easily, without any issues.
问：为什么X5倍率？

答：因为大多数人在玩warmane时都是高倍率，当然采用X1倍率也很容易这没什么问题。


Q: How good is it?
A: Better than anything else. It's big words, but deserving words.
问：服务器到底有多好？

答：比任何其它别的服都要好，这像是在吹牛但确实值得吹。


Q: Where's the client for Mac OS?
A: There was no client for Mac OS for the Burning Crusade expansion, you will have to use Wine.
问：苹果操作系统的客户端在哪里下载？

答：TBC版本没有苹果操作系统的客户端，你得打消这个想法。


Q: Will there be more showcase videos?
A: Yes, we started out with quests because they were the most appealing ones. Videos showcasing mechanics, spells and pathfinding are also coming.

问：会有更多的宣传视频吗？

答：是的，我们从任务视频开始的因为那是最吸引人的，展示机制、施法和寻路的视频即将推出。
