TurtleWoW gives that feel for me, but WoW was my high school nostalgia game
You might just have something there... I never played wow consistently in my youth but trying turtlewow was something different
The vanilla wow dungeon experience is great for realizing it's 4AM
Project Epoch is another interesting private wow server worth checking out. Turtle probably has a better community if I had to guess, but the design of Epoch is pretty brilliant imo.
From what I heard Epoch was automatically put on life support by the Ascension people once the original devs got letters from Blizzard, also the community found out one of the devs was trans and turned the hatred and bile to 11 after the botched launch.
Yeah - while illicit WoW servers could be so great they are housing all the white supremacists that fled retail due to basic moderation.
Unfortunately Blizzard is such a fucking trash can company I can't justify playing their retail garbage; basic moderation should just be a given, not a feature to subscribe for.
No win situation - or rather, the winning move might be to just stop playing WoW.
Turtle is generally well moderated, you can put in a ticket and get a response within a few minutes. I've played on other private servers and only stayed for a couple months because there is a high concentration of the "What's wrong with fascism?" chuds on most of them. Epoch was my first time in a while seeing what average /world channels look like and got whiplash.
If you're interested in giving it another go I help run a reasonably successful raiding guild that recently started Kara 40. They just released a new dungeon and raid too.
