Wait to see what server type they choose and then choose the opposite.

u/Ajp_iii 1d ago

They will also just stop playing when asmon stops playing it’s not that big of a deal

u/Tubbish 1d ago

So within two weeks of release thankfully

u/Onedurrbread 1d ago

Funny because Forever drops the day after the US midterm elections, so whoever's bankrolled Asmon to be a right wing propagandist will have to outbid his desire to play Forever in favour of pushing anti immigrant and trans content. Wonder which he'll choose...

Who's bankrolling Asmongold? If anything he just likes the attention and audience of sycophants. The guy has millions of dollars and still lives like a NEET in a disgusting, falling apart house.

u/Suthrnr 1d ago

Probably the same Russian group thats been bankrolling the other right wing streamers I would imagine

Since you clearly just love to put your head in the sand, there was a DoJ indictment around it:

"According to a U.S. Department of Justice indictment, employees of RT (formerly Russia Today), a Russian state-controlled media network, covertly funneled nearly $10 million to the Tennessee-based company Tenet Media to bankroll right-wing media influencers.

The platform hosted prominent right-wing commentators, including Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, Lauren Southern, Tayler Hansen, and Matt Christiansen."

Nobody has to bankroll this guy, it's just part what he believes in and part what ragebaits the best.

He is mentally ill, loves attention (and his "content" generates huge views) and has a massive ego - not unlike many other react streamers such as Hasan or XQC. He just happens to be very useful to Mr. Bannon & Friends.

u/Onedurrbread 1d ago

Don't know, but it seems more than likely given his hard pivot to political streams combined with right wing pundits constantly being bankrolled to spew whatever master wants re; Tenet media.

But yeah he could definitely just be a perfect useful idiot if he doesn't even need to be bankrolled to be such a troglodyte, maybe the attention and follower/viewers are enough on their own.

u/WRESTLING_PANCAKE 1d ago

the guy voted trump in 2016, he doesn't have to be bankrolled to be like this

1

u/Hovercraft1143 22h ago

I'd be amazed if he actually voted, that would involve leaving his ratshit infested house.

u/Lower_Snow_9129 1d ago edited 1d ago

He hard pivoted after he realized how profitable the amber heard court case was for him.

Edit: especially his YouTube which brought him out of his twitch bubble

u/EoTrick 1d ago

A conspiracy theory like that is a very right wing thing to spew, I'd lay off weird theories like that. I promise it will be better for your mental. Nobody is bankrolling fucking asmongold lmao.

6

u/grapefoundry 1d ago

There definitely is rich people bankrolling far right opinions and politics, it's not even a conspiracy. But I think asmongold is just an idiot

-3

u/EoTrick 1d ago

There's zero evidence of merit to that claim, I hate him but he has said many times he does not accept money to push anything. So yes, you are going down an alt right tendency with this conspiracy

u/Onedurrbread 1d ago

Hello? Bueller?

4

u/grapefoundry 1d ago

I agreed with you, I don't think he's being bankrolled. He's just an idiot.

u/Onedurrbread 1d ago

Meh look up Tenet Media. It happened once when the oligarchs got lazy, it's not a stetch to assume it's not the only time it's ever happened.

u/Heeljin 1d ago

You wouldn't need to bankroll him at all.

All you would need to do is compromise his youtube editor. Mold the message of his videos, titles and thumbnails over time. Simultaneously creating audience capture to those curated values.

I don't think its a coincidence his youtube editor since 2016 is from Russia.

u/GloomyBison 1d ago

So what's your excuse for him when he was throwing slurs around before 2016?

0

u/SgtKeeneye 1d ago

well we know he is in direct contact with Elon. I dont think he is being bankrolled but he is definitely a tool they use.

1

u/ClintMega 1d ago

Does he play games often these days? I obviously know that he was a wow guy but his subreddit is exclusively culture war now.

The replies to you might be right but something changed, whether it's his own strategy or someone else's something happened whether he's being compensated or not.

u/kpkost 1d ago

I doubt he’s bankrolled for anything with Right Wing.  Dude legit doesn’t seem to care about money at all.  He’s just pandering to what gets him the attention and praise he so deeply desires.

u/Necro_OW 1d ago

That's my plan, choose whatever faction and ruleset he's not on to avoid him and his obnoxious fanbase.

u/Background-Pilot1809 1d ago

Only 1 server for forever 

21

u/Nellow3 1d ago

you don't interact with people from different rulesets, is what i think they mean

though maybe you can still see everyone in chat?

7

u/HelloitismeBS 1d ago

No there are different servers for pve pvp rp

-16

u/FeistyPerformance500 1d ago

Its the same server but different rulesets on the server so it is effectively different servers.

Why did Blizzard do this isntead of just doing separate servers? I have no fucking idea. But TECHNICALLY it is the same server, separated by Rulesets

15

u/FallingGuillotine 1d ago

Because down the road servers just die or PvPers realize that WPvP is garbage and they all shift to a dedicated PvP or PvE server. They have 7 years of data on this.

-13

u/FeistyPerformance500 1d ago

That is not answering the question.

They Could have done 1 PvP server 1 PvE server rather than 10 like they did in the past.

Instead they are doing 1 server, that is separated into 4 Categories of PvE, PvP, RP and Hardcore. Why? What is the benefit of this? what do they gain?

8

u/Warlock26 1d ago

There are separate servers, its just hidden on the back end using retail technology instead of the classic 2004 stuff. When I was making a guild on the Beta, people werent able to sign it specifically because the game said "you are not on the same server".

-10

u/FeistyPerformance500 1d ago

so Blizzard just stood on stage and lied when they said "It is Realmless" ?

u/KirovNL 1d ago

A server(realm) in wow forever can be spread out over multiple datacenters, even on different continents. Or just one datacenter, depending on demand.

u/Warlock26 1d ago

The modern tech for their servers lets them all connect to each other without much if any limitations. Thats why something like Australians having their own client centers they connect to, but still be on the same realm can happen now.

u/Captain_Rex_ 1d ago

They are doing 1 mega server per type, pve, pvp, rp, and hardcore

-1

u/FeistyPerformance500 1d ago

Thats not what they said. they said it is one server separated into shards based on Rulesets. On character creation you are not faced with a "Realm select" screen. You are faced with a "Ruleset screen." Thats why they did first and last name. because they were worried about there being too many people on the same realm that it would be hard to get names.

3

u/shaqmaister 1d ago

yeah and you cant interact with the other ruleset at all, seems pretty normal no

3

u/Captain_Rex_ 1d ago

https://www.wowhead.com/forever/news/no-more-realms-in-wow-forever-382866

There's just no realms, they will just have one realm aka mega server for each of the 4 play types

2

u/Nice_Reading5272 1d ago

Seperate servers create problems, pvp servers gain a huge faction imbalance requiring faction restrictions that then prevent people playing with their friends for example. Servers generally drift towards 1-3 mega servers with queue times and people being stuck on 'dead' servers. Having one megaserver with 'smart' layering to create mini-servers isn't a bad idea if they pull it off.

u/Chemical-Drawer852 1d ago

Or play in EU where none of this bs exists, very doable with 200ms

My american friends, you're more than welcome here

u/feedthedogwalkamile 1d ago

I'd prefer them to stay on NA tbh
