Molten WoW Cataclysm Updates May - June Schedule Guide

It has now been about 2.5 months since Molten WoW Team launched Cataclysm, and as many of their players may have noticed Molten team has been "less talk, more action" in the past months meeting expectations for a rapid and daily Cataclysm development and that they have a lot of work ahead, namely their Cataclysm PvP (arenas, battlegrounds and feasibility of rated battlegrounds), PvE (scripting and release of retail quality instances in normal and heroic modes), class fixes and undocumented exploit fixes. 

According to our statistics in the past 2 months population of Wrath of the Lich King realms has been on a steady decline. In order to ensure all realms remain highly populated and to minimize the considerable financial costs of maintaining our realms and their security servers, it is clear that two realms must be merged. Our team has been through numerous brainstorming sessions and those "2 realms to merge with others" have been chosen to be Greymane and Deepholm, after we upgrade Frostwolf, Neltharion, Sargeras and Warsong to Cataclysm. Below are highlights and a documentation of our agenda at hand. Please keep in mind that some dates may change depending on unforeseen circumstances and are subject to change over time.

Molten WoW Greymane Realm is Now Online!

Greymane is online! It's important to mention that Molten wow admin had faced 2 major and unexpected issues which delayed the launch date. 

Launch was delayed due to 2 issues they say. First issue was a hidden update released on retail which broke compatibility with private servers by "optimizing file system" and it near impossible for an average user to connect anywhere else than retail. Second issue happened parallel to first one, a flood attack on our realm at launch with thousands of flooding IPs that were preventing connection to the realm. Having endured 2 days of restless and persistent work to overcome issues they are glad to have them resolved.

They also stressed out that due to the size, scale and complexity of their first Cataclysm realm, as well as it's high population load, issues will happen. This includes possible crashes, rollbacks and lag and many bugs for the first few days. This is to be expected on any private server. Greymane will need some time after launch to stabilize. If gameplay experience becomes undesirable consider taking a break and rest assured that our realms are always monitored and they make use of their experience and wisdom to take care of inevitable challenges that will arise.

Molten WoW Cataclysm Guide: Greymane Realm

Below is a brief a description and FAQ about our upcoming Cataclysm realm - Greymane. For the past months Molten Staff has been very hard at work maintaining and developing world's best Wrath of the Lich King realms, having held anniversary festivities, new year holidays as well as developing the highly demanded and awaited Molten's first Cataclysm realm. 

They intend to ensure that, compared to competition Cataclysm servers, Greymane is the highest quality private server realm worldwide and the least bugged, by far exceeding realms offered on any other private server. They are very well aware of players' expectations from Molten's quality and the responsibility that they have.

REALM CHARACTERISTICS
Realm name: Greymane
Launch date: February 1, 2012
Client support: Any Cataclysm client (4.0.6a to 4.3.0)
Content version: 4.0.6a (versions 4.2.2a and 4.3.0 are too bugged on private servers and are undergoing development)

Molten WoW Cataclysm Updates Has Begun

Highlights, screenshots and development phases for Cataclysm.

• Phase 1 [Complete]: Staff-only Development Realm.
• Phase 2 [Q1, 2012]: Public Test Realm.
• Phase 3 [Q1, 2012]: New Cataclysm realm Greymane 4.3 launch.
• Phase 4 [Q2, 2012]: Open Wrath of the Lich King character transfers to Cataclysm.

Greymane will be the first Cataclysm realm and will continue to be developed after launch. It is important to note that Cataclysm today is as raw and bugged as Wrath of the Lich King was back in 2009. Therefore Wrath of the Lich King realms will continue to be improved and polished and will not be upgraded to Cataclysm anytime in near future. We remain dedicated to keeping our realms healthy, community free of cheaters and selfless devotion to continue providing the definition of quality we introduced back in 2009, and Cataclysm will be no different.

We hope to open character transfers from Wrath of the Lich King realms to Cataclysm by spring 2012. Until then, development will be heavily focused on Greymane. Cataclysm development has a long and bumpy journey ahead and Molten is ready for the challenge.
