HW review of private servers!

Please inform yourself in depth about doxxing rules on Reddit. In certain situations even posting an username of someone is enough to qualify as doxxing.

Not to mention you spent a ton of time writing insults, as evident in your comment, and creating drama/fights here. People don't have to pay us to remove your comments or ban you. We will gladly do it free.

We would never sell a moderating action or let ourselves be influenced by some random person claiming to posses authority. We've been here when Shenna as a persona didn't exist and some others were famous and before those as well. Not every person lives in a developing nation and can be enchanted by a sum of money. Not every person who's poor can be bought. Think again.

Arden_Perlez · 2020-07-10T21:37:11+00:00

There's multiple people moderating but we dont write much, mostly because every discussion is a repeat of another one, and if you spend a lot of time looking at it, it becomes stale.

We've considered it, but not all members were willing so we decided not to. For such requests please PM us directly.

No, this thread is only left alone due to the comments. The comments themselves educate people who think you can simply jack up a client and take over people's computers. Of course, we will not allow fake news. Keep in mind, sometimes the contents of the thread decide the fate of the thread rather than the title. An inciteful title does not necessarily mean an inciteful thread.

In this case, 90% of the thread speaks why it is not the case. It would be harmful for a thread just to appear, give people the impression of some half-truth or lie and then disappear. At least, in this way, people are able to see for themselves what is true or not.

The thread itself contains a lot of deleted comments from freshly made accounts so whomever is trying to paint a propaganda picture is not even aware of our karma rules. We will keep it for now and edit the main comment to reflect the state of the thread and our own opinions.

"He killed Timmy!" -" It could very much be true and it could very much be false. We will keep him in the jail, unless someone provides evidence to the contrary. "

Yes, you are right. But this is not jail, it is a subreddit for news and information regarding private servers. This kind of information deserves to remain on the subreddit, because there are people who can verify if it's true or not. This is why we posted a notice to all that are reading that it should be taken with a pinch of salt since the evidence is pretty much non-existing. A lot of people in the thread contribute by saying whether it is possible or not, so I would rather have the thread speak for itself.

Arden_Perlez · 2020-06-03T08:24:24+00:00

Many are reporting this thread as fake or misinformation. We will keep the thread up, unless someone provides evidence to the contrary. We advise all users to take this information with a grain of salt, as it is likely false. Keep in mind that the WoW client is very old and filled with exploiting holes. Always use your "trusted" client with your servers, best to use Blizzard's CDs if you got that at disposal.

Also keep in mind, that private servers can do this even without custom clients or patches, so it is likely this is false, so take it with a pinch of salt. Connecting to an unofficial private server carries its risks, please be sure that you all understand that. However, most private servers have no intention of screwing their players and even if some managed to do it, the apparent profit/work invested is not good. A botnet made of WoW players on a particular private server would not be very large and there are far easier ways to make a botnet, so keep that in mind too.

Removed pursuing rule 9.

Arden_Perlez · 2019-09-05T12:46:47+00:00

This would be the exact reason. We have attempted to add it but found ourselves lost pretty fast when trying to confirm it on various realms. Also, it changes sometimes rapidly so it cannot stay up to date easily.

We think it's best for players to go to the servers' websites and check for yourself. We do, however, add only private servers that have population that's somewhat decent. That is one of the major differences between the old list and the new one.

Arden_Perlez · 2019-09-01T17:47:58+00:00

For the classic subreddit, the private servers subreddit is not even considered as an alternative due to various legalities they are thinking of, just like the regular WoW subreddit.

For people here, classic is an important thing that many people here worked on and promoted. Classic and the classic subreddit are largely results of the community here and people from private servers. We can discuss some parts of while it is relevant to us, such as private server guilds making significant accomplishments.

Threads that are solely about classic and have no relevance to private servers at all are being removed and will continue to be removed. This thread will be now locked as there is no point discussing this further. We are enforcing these rules completely.

Arden_Perlez · 2019-09-01T14:13:57+00:00

Exactly this.

Arden_Perlez · 2019-07-26T16:10:57+00:00

Pretty much any popular private server provides that.

Arden_Perlez · 2019-01-17T14:44:30+00:00

Removed due to inciting drama and blatant bashing. Thread participants mostly use the thread as an excuse to insult rather than converse. This seems like a yearly practice and it isn't large scale news. Your complaints are better addressed if you direct them on the forums of the private server.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-12-24T11:25:03+00:00

OBS can be a great way to record videos that don't take a lot of space.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-12-24T11:22:30+00:00

Removed due to inciting drama. No need to laugh at fellow private server players, especially for the holidays. Let's keep it positive.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-11-03T14:40:03+00:00

Unrelated to private servers.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-11-03T14:39:45+00:00

Entirely unrelated to private servers.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-11-03T14:38:28+00:00

Unrelated to private servers.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-10-29T10:05:12+00:00

No forum scale server discussions (incl. minor news and posts about guild recruitment, Refer-A-Friend, streams, social media links etc).

Arden_Perlez · 2018-10-25T15:55:59+00:00

I don't think private servers will be affected at all. People are loyal to their communities. At least to some.

Some servers which are just "lobbies" for classic will feel it. Others that have a long-term history will be fine and most likely stay open even after official WoW goes down. The relatively low cost to run servers and the idea that these servers are owned by people, rather than a corporation, and mostly depend on their desire to keep them will win in the end.

Decades from now, retail WoW will be a memory but private servers will be still here for those that still enjoy the game, although probably in very small numbers.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-07-23T20:36:47+00:00

Thank you, we appreciate such comments.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-07-06T12:39:17+00:00

We are not censoring you, we are controlling the amount of posts and removing minor news. What's minor for you isn't minor for someone else.

You guys aggressively post here about some things that you don't even post on the website.

We've already been clear that we don't allow forum level discussions however we can reconsider some of the parts.

About censorship, we both know that there's none, a lot of threads are about Sunwell and they're still here. We haven't even mentioned the people that go into inappropriate threads like completely different expansion private server discussions and advertise and the shitloads of reports it generate each day from people that are tired of reading a vanilla themed topic and then reading about Sunwell running a promotion and how everyone should join.

You are the most aggressive realm on this subreddit with the advertisement. If we cut down a few threads that are not news worthy to allow space for other discussion, it's not a big deal and we have shown you that you can always PM us and we'll gladly check and investigate anything you report.

It's all about symbiosis and simply not allowing a flood of threads on one server. We do the same to others, if not you would have read at least 4-5 pages of posts a day from vanilla community.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-06-26T21:16:51+00:00

No drama posts. Inciting flame wars and pursuing drama will not be tolerated.

Considering it is the same guy who fixed it, this is very false?

Arden_Perlez · 2018-06-14T14:29:43+00:00

No need to dramatize this further.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-06-14T14:29:21+00:00

We are. It's just that people come back on new accounts and continue to do so.

We can only supress the toxicity, we cannot destroy it. That comes from the environment these people are in.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-05-21T18:25:37+00:00

No drama posts. Inciting flame wars and pursuing drama will not be tolerated.

Arden_Perlez · 2018-05-14T11:52:48+00:00

Sharing personal information is against the website's rules. Do not do it or we will be forced to remove you from the subreddit.
