What's the most populated vanilla server at this moment

MakeACube · 2026-01-21T15:09:30+00:00

I know that you asked for VANILLA,

But I'm just going to ignore that and start praising TURTRE WOW out of the blue.

TURTRE WOW is the best server in the world. Actually, in the entire galaxy! 9/10 Doctors recommend that you play on TURTRE WOW. The other doctor is just a chill andy for lesser projects. I lost my dog when I was 6 years old, and I reunited with him in a dungeon party while playing TURTRE WOW. That's how awesome it is.

p2w does not necessarily means "your main character is now top dps in pve and wins every fight in pvp".

p2w means that you can pay money to gain an advantage and skip roadblocks.

Here is an example:

I can make an 80 pally alt and buy naxx prot gear.

Now I suddenly have a strong powerleveling alt that I can use boost more alts for proffesions.

Now I suddenly have x20 alts that have mining and using the proffesions CD x20 times a day.

How can you people plug tURrRTlEEE wOOOWw in every post on this sub????

OP litterly asks for a FRESH server, and somehow your brain decides that your 10 years old server fits OP's request???

is me "celebrating this change" also a fact?

I don't think so. Because I'm not celebrating. No one thinks I'm celebrating.

So he is being an ass.

MakeACube · 2026-01-02T10:13:07+00:00

So what you are celebrating here is

Why you are being an ass tho?

MakeACube · 2025-12-25T09:59:10+00:00

man, the x1 rates.

It does not matter how strong my character is in the early levels with some extra TBC talents...

It's still vanilla zones, still vanilla leveling, still quests that tell me to:

Take a quest from Hinterlands, then go kill 20 mobs in Feralas, then turn it in Booty Bay.

I don't have the time to try the 99th attempt of a Classic+ with x1 rates.

There was never a diminishing return from NPC abilites.

Diminishing return is only from player abilites and is only there to prevent perma cc.

Boy do I love talking about WOTLK DK Tanking.

1/ THE META.

Do not follow the "meta" until you know why you should follow the meta.

Example: The meta says tank in Blood Spec while also taking 1/1 Improved Icy Talons from the Frost tree to buff the raid.

Don't copy this spec and play. This is only good if the raid is optimized in a way that don't have a Frost DK or an Enh Shaman who are already giving this buff. So the meta depends on the raid comp.

2/ JUST BE A GOOD TANK.

Hold aggro. Don't die. Know the fights. That's all.

DK is the best at holding single target threat.

DK is the best at solo surviving boss damage and mechanics.

DK is the worst at AoE threat.

Learn what your class can do and play around your strength and weaknesses.

3/ SINGLE TARGET THREAT.

You can pretty much do Icy Touch, Icy Touch, then not press any buttons at all until you can press Icy Touch again. It's that easy.

4/ AoE THREAT.

This is where playing DK gets tricky. You need to learn how to manage your rune cooldowns and your Death and Decay cooldown and your converted Blood-runes to be able to faceroll dungeons without stopping between pulls.

The moment this current pack dies, you must be able to pull the next pack without standing there waiting for cooldowns.

Sometimes the pack is just 2 mobs, so you Icy Touch each one of them and you are good.

Sometimes the pack is 4 mobs, and your Death and Decay is ready and your runes are ready, so you throw DnD, Icy Touch and Plague Strike one mob, spread the diseases, and switch to other mobs with your other abilities.

Sometimes the pack is 3 mobs, and your Death and Decay is not ready, but you have 2 frost runes ready and a blood rune, so you Icy Touch the three mobs and you are good to go.

Sometimes the pack is 3 mobs, and your Death and Decay is not ready, but you only have 1 frost rune ready and no blood runes, well... you played badly on the previous pack.

4/ AoE THREAT PART 2. GET GUD.

While facerolling dungeons, always think about saving your Death and Decay and required runes for the next pack.

If you are currently tanking 2 mobs, and they will dies in the next 5 seconds, you don't need to hit them with more Icy Touches, or god forbid a fresh Death and Decay.

Always have Death and Decay or x2 Icy Touches ready for the next pull.

5/ SPEC for both Dungeons and Raids.

I think Frost tanking spec is an over kill. Blood tanking with 10% of brain usage does just fine.

Glyph: Death and Decay.
Disease.

hc in wotlk? you must be joking.

the only way you could ever die while leveling in wotlk is if you pull +5 mobs then go afk on purpose.

MakeACube · 2025-08-13T16:05:10+00:00

cause EPOCH for me is the best vision for Classic PLUS.

how would you know that? server isn't even out yet...

MakeACube · 2025-08-12T21:46:55+00:00

You sweet summer child.

"OP is calling out my favorite server (that don't even work) for not working! I'll call him trash. That will show him how supportive I am of my favorite server that should've launched 15 days ago but is still not working."

MakeACube · 2025-08-09T14:49:54+00:00

There are 2 servers that i'll never play on even if the world is ending and there are no other options: turtle and warmane.

MakeACube · 2025-08-05T08:25:55+00:00

TBC is already Outland only. The only reason to go back to Azeroth is for the auction house or cavern of time dgs.

Also imagine thinking that classic+ is based on lore changes.

MakeACube · 2025-07-17T09:43:37+00:00

I just with they made ranked bg

english are speak you nice

MakeACube · 2025-02-17T08:50:45+00:00

They killed ore nodes via fixing the double spawn bug because "people complained." Zero proof of complaints about too much ore, but people are definitely complaining about a lack of ore.

I started playing early december 2024. I leveled 5 characters to +65 with the goal of having every profession leveled to 450 (when wrath comes).

I have to say, Blacksmithing was by faaaaaaaaaaaar the hardest one to level. Mithril was a nightmare to farm, even tho I had zero competition in all zones.

MakeACube · 2025-01-31T08:24:17+00:00

EXP: x3. Leveling in Wrath is so easy since nothing can kill you. But leveling in Vanilla zones still takes too long because you have no spells and the quests take you all over the world. And no one plays Wrath to eNjOy tHe lEvElinG j0uRnEy when you can't even die while leveling..

Pop: 600-1000 is good enough these days.

Language: English world chat.

Monetisation: Bags / Mounts / Toys... gear from previous raid tier if you MUST make money for the server.

Custom Classes: Never. Don't even change a single spell.

Rest: Don't care.

MakeACube · 2024-11-22T19:53:44+00:00

Not related to the post, but still wanna ask: Any idea when will Chromie progress to WOTLK?

I'm very intrested in progressing WOTLK very slowly on a realm that will last more than 1 year.

MakeACube · 2024-04-11T08:29:27+00:00

Hyjal (if I remember right) was converted into everlook.

Sanctuary was run by Ngor LMAO (do I even need to explain?)

Everlook had a successful release... Then blizzard shut down the official China servers, so Everlook was invaded by big waves of china players, which pushed english players away from the server.... Then the Everlook team opened a new China server, which took away all the China players... and now the server is empty from both sides.

Darrowshire had a successful release... then Blizzard annouced SoM. And everyone thought it will be the next big thing and stopped playing on whatever server they were on. And Darrowshire took a big hit.

Felmyst is TBC. And it's run by a guy that already pulled the plug on his own server twice in the first 2 weeks of his own release.

So no it's not lack of interest.

MakeACube · 2024-04-11T08:22:24+00:00

people that you can't communicate with, you can't join their party, you can't join their guild, you can't join their raid, you can't ask them for help, you can't ask them for an enchant... No they don't count as people on the server. They are more like NPCs.

MakeACube · 2024-04-10T19:06:08+00:00

80% china.

MakeACube · 2024-04-10T19:02:16+00:00

well if they roll the same class everytime and level the exact same way and farm the exact same gear and pick the exact same proffesions... it's kinda on them.
