[GUIDE] Wow-Mania Custom Content

[Kalasbyxan]

This is a post intended to inform you about the custom features of the server with detailed information and an intricate section about the Maniac Points Currency and what they can buy.

I want to emphasize that all nearly all custom content can be avoided or excluded for those who wish to have a full blizzlike experience. When it can't be excluded, the information will tell you so.

Thank you for reading this information guide. I hope it eases your stay at WoW-Mania If you notice any information lacking or faulty, please do throw me a PM and I will look into it. Now please don't raise tickets over things said in this post. We do not refund laziness!

1.0 XP rates & Double XP Weekend
Wow-Mania has a default 2x experience rate to ease the journey to level 80. This can be changed to 1x (blizzlike) at Shortstuff Maniac in our WoW-Mania Mall or at your starting zone.

1.1 Double XP Weekend
We also have a Double XP weekend from 23.00 on Friday to 23.00 on Sunday. This gives a full Saturday and Sunday with twice the amount of XP, scaling with the XP rate you set for your character.

If you choose 1x XP at the NPC/VIP it will ignore Double XP Weekend and you will level at 1x.

1.2 Even higher XP rate
You can set your XP even higher, to 4x or 6x if you have a VIP subscription going.
Your XP will also be at 3x if you are using RaF

2.0 VIP
By visiting our shop, you can purchase a VIP Subscription. This comes with several custom commands your character can use in game. You purchase the subscription one month at a time and it costs £5.

2.1 Commands available when VIP
The subscription comes with six custom commands:
.vip mail - Access your mailbox on command.
.vip repair - Repair your items on command.
.vip bank - Access your bank on command.
.vip revive - Revives you character. Does come with a 5min Ressurection Timer!
.vip XP #rate - Set your experience rate to 1, 2, 4 or 6 times normal rate (.vip XP 6 for example).
.vip end - Shows the date your VIP subscription expires

2.2 Additional VIP Perks
Purchasing VIP also gives you the title "Playername The Maniac".
Purchasing VIP also gives you a VIP Token the first day of every month you are subscribed!

3.0 HD Models
Your character apperance is updated to HD models. These differ slightly from the retail versions but are an upgrade of the old models.

[Kalasbyxan]

4.0 Cross Faction Chat and Trade
To compensate for the lower amount of players (compared to retail) we enabled Cross Faction Chat and Trade to enhance the social aspect of the server and the economic aspect too. We used to have cross faction dungeons and raids, but it caused too much stress on the server to maintain as the population grew. When you log in to the game, "/join world" to interact with players of both factions and you can use "/join x-trade" for trading business. You can also mail both factions.

Tip! Use the World Chat to encourage players to queue Battlegrounds.

5.0 Recruit a Friend
All information you should need can be found in this post.

6.0 Level 10 mount and Azeroth Flying
On WoW-Mania you are able to ride a mount at level 10. Once you hit level 10, you gain the right riding skill and your mount is placed in your inventory. If your inventory is full at the moment, you will need to open a ticket to get your mount manually added. If you do not wish to use the mount at level 10 and want a blizzlike experience, you can simply wait to use it until you hit level 20.

6.1 Azeroth Flying
You are also able to fly in Azeroth with specific mounts if you pruchase the maximum riding skill and have Cold Weather Flying (for flying in Northrend).
For a complete list of mounts that can fly in Azeroth, please read and search here.

8.0 The WoW-Mania Mall
Using a WoW-Mania Teleport Stone will instantly bring you to our custom mall. This is where we placed all custom NPCs to avoid them interfering with the original world. Here you also find portals to major cities, common food vendors and a Jeeves for repair.

8.1 How to get the Teleport Stone
You will find this stone in your inventoryif you create a new character. If you already have a character but no stone, you can go to Orgrimmar and find Kaja <Guns & Ammunition> (the hut left of the Auction House), Stormwind and find Gunther Weller <Weapons Merchant> (the house opposite to the Auction House) or Dalaran and find Ildine Sorrowspear <Enchanting Supplies> (The enchanting shop right of the Violet Citadel).

8.2 The Gurubashi Teleport Stone
The same information goes for the Gurubashi Teleport Stone, which brings you to the Gurubashi Arena in Booty Bay. This was an idea suggested by a player in the early days of WoW-Mania and encourage players to PVP in the arena (or easily get to Gurubashi for GM PVP events!).

8.3 Teleport Stone Cooldowns
Both teleport stones shares a 60 minute cooldown. Keep this in mind before you use either to avoid being stranded in a location. It does not share CD with your normal Hearthstone.
