>How do I connect to [server]? 1. Register on a private server that hosts the same game client you have. 2. Copy their realmlist URL. This can usually be found on the main page of the website or on their registration page. 3. Look for a realmlist.wtf file in your WoW folder. This may either be in the root folder, or inside Wow/Data/enUS/ 4. Open the realmlist.wtf file in a text editor such as Notepad and paste in the realmlist settings of the server. Make sure it starts with 'set realmlist' followed by the realmlist URL. 5. Launch the game from wow.exe and enter your account info.
>I have set the realmlist correctly but it still connects me to XYZ server/says invalid login info. You will need a clean wow.exe and dll files if you downloaded your WoW client from XYZ server. Check the clients section above.
>How do I stop my client from auto-updating? • Start the game with wow.exe - not launcher.exe • Don't use your email for logging in, use your account name. • Find the patchlist file in your installation and remove it.
on Atlantiss is looking for more, 25 MAN HEROIC EDITION
about atlantiss: >1x rates (3x with RAF), 80-85 takes ~15-17 hours, 1-80 on 1x ~2 days, 15-81 with RAF+RDF ~15 hours >no P2W >3-3.5k peaks (pop floats between 1k and 3k mostly) >T11, T11HC and T12 are out, at the moment we're raiding T11HC (with a set gear limitation of the issues with T11 and vmaps were recently fixed including atramedes, the content scripting is good >3/7 T12HC bosses scripted, we will switch to firelands full time when they release 7/7 >pvp is relatively active, bg's always pop, arena is active during EU hours
some things about cata: >tanking is a lot more fun, there are plenty of raid tank assignments other than tank&spank >healing has changed drastically, mana management is crucial (you will go oom fast if raiders don't avoid mechanics) >almost all dps rotations have been revamped into a priority system requiring more attention and are generally harder than previous expansions >most of the boss encounters are more complex
what classes/specs do we want? >any ranged dps is welcome but we're low on warlocks >an active holy paladin and a resto druid >enhancement if you prefer melee however, you'll get in as any class, most of the specs are viable and we need raiders.
raid days are wednesdays and mondays, time 22:00 server time (CEST/GMT+2)
i'll be online for a while, feel free to ask any questions
Owen Miller
Everyone playing literally the worst expansion ever made should consider suicide.
Jack Young
people are still playing wotlk?
Charles Carter
how is warmane? it's the new version of molten right?
Logan Wright
Lordaeron turned to shit, Icecrown god tier. Their cata server is getting better but still shit. Mop server is #2 behind PandaWoW
Cameron Adams
tfw only 6 (You)s
Aiden Harris
You literally cannot go wrong with Shaman and Zealot. The other two are harder but doable.
Connor Thomas
Their servers are still garbage, they still fake their pop
Ethan Hall
I was doing some research and saw that apparently Magi are completely useless in small scale PvP because they have no burst and get all of their DoT's cleansed like they're nothing. That's pretty disappointing as they looked like a lot of fun from the videos I watched.
Parker Allen
Still has a huge population
Nolan Green
I have a bright wizard and I can say it's probably the most fun class I've played. It's less effective in small scale stuff but when you can just blow huge groups of people up it's pretty nice. A lot of stuff gets cleansed by healers but you'll always be able to put more on. Puts a lot more pressure on the enemy healers and forces melee to be cautious. Not to mention that you can just nuke people from orbit if they get in range
Leo Perry
ive been leveling on lordaeron for a while and just hit northrend
half the shit in borean tundra is broken including the wrathgate quest chain which sucks when you are leveling at x1
everything up until northrend has been good though and it is well populated
naxx and ulduar have been buffed to be harder but I dont know by how much since I am not max level yet
Austin Lewis
The benefits outweigh it's flaws, icecrown is based as fuck and hella fun to play on
Jacob Ramirez
Why is it that Polish people make the best servers? Hellground, ToD and Atlantiss are all best scripted in their class.
Jeremiah Peterson
tod's deathgrip is the slow version unlike retail
Zachary Jenkins
>worst expansion ever
Take it you didn't play MoP or WoD (and likely Legion) yet?
Cata isn't nearly as good as Vanilla/TBC/Wrath, but it's still a decent time killer provided you didn't play it live like me. I had fun in the BoT raid yesterday despite doing shit damage.
A cockroach is the best survivor, doesn't make them the best insect. It means that no matter how many times you fuck it up it still, somehow, won't die.
Dylan Bell
Its not perfect but it is better than the other available wotlk servers for current content
Christian Wood
How can a server decline in script quality? Is it because they try to fix something and fuck it up instead? I've heard that Atlantiss used to be scripted better but now it's bad. I've played on Dalaran, amongst other wotlk servers and it used to have working pathfinding. Because of all the shills I decided to give it a try again and the pathfinding no longer works. Why is that?
Wyatt Cooper
Hey, look, it's wrath "i can stack stamina and still tank" "I can spam best heal when everyone is topped and still don't go oom" "can't do shit without ArPen and 1 sec GCD while still clicking one macro to dps" baby!
Jordan Hughes
When you fix something to make it look better it can cause lags or crash servers or open some gamebreaking bug. Now, since all those pservers are managed by 1-2 devs it's all a spaghetti code where an attempt to fix a talent that adds damage while wielding weapon can make this damage skyrocket high enough to oneshot bosses, let alone attempts to fix something more sophisticated.

Dylan Nelson
Can someone give me a list of the best private servers?
Why aren't relevant private servers listed in the OP? I'm trying to choose one and can't decide, preferably either WotLK or BC.
Wyatt Davis
Hello can you stop doing that please?
t. my wife :^)
Grayson Cruz
What's this image about? Nayzx?
Anthony Russell
is that really infection
Jaxon Gray
yes
Julian Hernandez
The only ones in the OP are servers where we have guilds. There is no best private server.
Aiden Martinez
warth babbies back at it again
Isaac Young
>but it's still a decent time killer provided you didn't play it live like me this though arguably mid-late wrath is on par
Samuel Reed
vanilla - kronos tbc - there really isn't one that doesn't have glaring flaws. hellground is considered best, but it's filled with poles and has been out so long most people are in full BiS gear. excalibur has more english speakers, but is pay to win. wotlk - like tbc but less extreme. theatre of dreams is low pop and full of poles, but it has great scripts and is progressive. gamer district is a pay to win icc simulator. cata - atlantiss mop+ - kill urself
Ayden Miller
The only stuff you can pay to win for only matters if you're a minigamer.
And if you take non-pvp centric private server minigaming seriously, kill you'areself.
That said it pretty much is a ToC/ICC simulator as far as the populous goes, but there's a progression raiding guild there.
Dominic Turner
>anyone can buy a shadowmourn at any time >doesn't matter
Jordan Torres
You can't donate for shadowmourne on GD, you're talking about Warmane where 30% of plate users have one.
Michael Collins
You can buy anything on gd
Jason Turner
You can't buy SM and all donations require bitcoins so there's a hurdle that retarded people from the Balkans can't get over. The donor situation on GD is much better than it is on Warmane

If you actually looked at the forums you'd know they accept direct bank transfers and will pm you there account number
Oliver Lee
Sorry friend but the amount of shadowmournes compared to Icecrown is 3:1 in favor of GD. Resetting raids is ridiculous when 70% of your server are slavs with no jobs.
Caleb Foster

you can't reset heroic ICC

good thing sfs drops from normal 25 then

Yeah they can go fuck themselves, they lost a potential player. What the fuck is wrong with these people? Are they retarded?
Hudson White
have you never played on GD you fucking retard
Joseph Gray
im playing fine and i dont have a gmail
