I want to play BC for nostalgia and shit. Are private servers worth it?
There are no good TBC servers.
Stay away from Warmane.
>>387709449
Most definitely. You will get a lot of those feelings back, surprisingly, merely by leveling and playing through the game.
>>387709449
I still do not trust Warmane after that Molten Core incident.
>>387709647
Explain
>>387709449
Not Warmane, that's for sure. Shittiest private server out there, even poles can hack together a better server.
>>387710679
>>387709647
if Warmane is so shit then why is it the most popular server? Clearly if there were better servers then lots of people would migrate yeah?
>>387710285
Not him but IIRC, it had something to do with the Warmane admins changing the loot tables for a Rag kill so a certain guild could get the loot they wanted. I want to say they were paid by the guild to do so but I don't know the full specifics.
>>387710285
Molten Core was Warmane. Molten Core dev's freaked out one day and deleted everything until Warmane came up sometime later.
>>387711275
I thought it was just called "Molten WOW" not molten core
>>387711449
Yeah sorry I just remembered that :((
:(
>>387709449
99% of them are shady and 100% of them are buggy and unfinished. Sure maybe spend a couple hours leveling but don't commit fully, you'll only end up disappointed.
wait for corecraft
>>387713569
>wait for corecraft
Truly the starcitizen of wow private servers
>>387713493
that's why I always join fun mode private servers with retarded rates and they hand out gear like candy. we all know those servers are buggy and unfinished but you may as well have some fun while you play by actually doing shit like pvp.
>>387709572
Feelings like
>wow I forgot how boring this grind is
>why don't I care about this npc?
>stop hitting the sheep you fucking RETARD
>I wish my dps rotation couldn't be done with a single button macro
I am always tempted to join that RP only private server.
I like rping.
>>387709449
For nostalgia? Definitely. Just so long as you realize all private servers are fleeting and once they are gone there goes all of your progress.

Who /WARMANE/ here?
Playing WotLK
got an 80 feral druid and an 80 blood DK
PALADINS ARE GAY
FUCK PALADINS
>>387709449
Nostalrius was perfect. The relaunch wasn't and something like it probably won't happen again in the private server scene. Gotta hope Blizz actually reflects on why retail has gone to shit.

what's there to have fun with in MMOs if you're not doing the real content that matters
>>387709449
warmane is fine, that they put a 10 minute cooldown on /who so census doesn't work is suspicious though
I thought that Warmane was supposed to have pretty good scripts and support. They have a Medivh BC server that is 1x speed but doesn't have any of the cashshop nonsense that people complain about on the Outland server. Anyone have experience with the scripting of their BC servers?
>>387715998
sorry i dont fuckin enjoy hanging out with people that will only enjoy my company when everyone gets drunk
>>387716582
*dies of muscle aids*
>>387716719
I don't about the raids but all the quests work
>>387716719
Do you still need to pay to skip the fake queue?
>play for 5 hours
>server is taken down through completely legal and reasonable means
No, they're not worth it.
>>387709449
>Are private servers worth it?
They are free. What you are spending is only your free time, and you are spending it on 4chan right now, so basically wasting it.
Go give it a try.
I never understood the private server meme. Your progress can be wiped at any second for any reason. Whether it's a admin having a bad day and tripping over the server hard drive with no backups or Blizzard lawyers send them a letter. If you can't make meaningful progress in a MMO and keep it then why bother? It would be like starting a JRPG and having your save data wipe every 20 hours. Would you keep playing?

There are not queues in the BC realms

>Try warmane
>loot tables are completely fucked
>fake queues
>literally p2w real money store
never again

>Are private servers worth it?
if you're willing to put up with a grab bag of

>constant and unpredictable downtime
>large portions of playerbase not speaking english
>nonexistent gm support
>p2w """""donations"""""
>broken quests and dungeons
>>387717791
Nice. I might give it a try.
>>387717431
I don't think so, you might have too for Outland server because the population is much higher, Outland is pay 2 win though and has 5x exp. Medivh has a pop about 3k according to their site, but Warmane inflates their numbers. I don't think Medivh should ever have a queue though.
>>387717749
go play ProgressQuest then, if you had fun it doesn't matter, MMOs are not an investment
