Have you heard of Wowscape, Toxic WOW, WoWgasm they are all really good and fun servers with quite a number of people in the community.
here are the links WoWgasm.org Toxic WoW WoWScape
You know, I have been playing WoW for over 2 years, and have never even tried a private server. Aside from the cost factors, what reasons are there for using one? I admit I am nervous about it. Do they keep their servers up to date? Does it affect an account? I know why Blizzard upkeeps servers, (they make money), what motives do these private servers have for what they do? Which ones would you recomend, and why?
1. Quests are bugged 2. Your talents are bugged 3. Noone goes to battlegrounds 4. Leveling and drop rate is enhanced, so you can be 70lvl in 8hrs if well powerleveled by a 70lvl friend... 5. Epic shops on BurningWow - you can buy your Tier 6 armour for 100g per item... Hence - everyone is exactly the same geared and you meet completely noobs in t6 gear - ABSURD! 6. Donators! Everyone hates them - people that give money for the server maintainance and get back some nice gear. There are lots of them in WowScape. Such a guy can get to an opposite faction city and kill everyone without any big problems. You cant get any tier6 gear at WowScape - its only for donators... 6. Bugged bosses at the instances... My girlfriend soloed Illidan Stormrage at BurningWow playing a Balance Druid with full t6 - seriously! She kited him and moonfired all the time. Took her a bit of time, but managed. ROFL. He doesnt even hit with spells - only melee... 7. Bugged instances. Some ppl that entered Gruul's Lair got their characters bugged and could not play anymore with them... critical errors every time when they try to log in again... SSC - no lift at all, cant get to any other levels that basic. 8. Silly Game Masters - running around Stormwind/Orgrimar and showing off with their gear... pathetic. 9. Stupid ppl harassing each other and very rude community in general... dont play there... its more that crap  I finally moved to a normal retail World of Warcraft and can enjoy all the quests, all my talents and all the instances working properly with a buch of nice ppl  Cheers!

I know why Blizzard upkeeps servers, (they make money), what motives do these private servers have for what they do? Which ones would you recomend, and why? Ok First off I run a private server so I can answer this EASILY. Personally I upkeep my server and run it because I love to program and I just love the challenge of doing it. Also I love to be able to play on it without greedy companies making loads more money then they honestly should. (Blizzard could make crap loads of money if they had the monthly price at even just 5 bux with over 9million ppl playing) Also reisons for using private server include: 1. Smaller nicer and close knit comunity. 2. The ability to actually have a say in what happens. (I know I personally am open to any suggestion by the people who play on my server and have implemented many things because of them) 3. Custom stuff like events, games, areas, items, mobs, whole cities even. 4. You might actually get to know the GMs and other staff. (personally I play when I am not improving the server) 5. Less people playing means more help on an individual basis. 6. If something gets messed up it can be fixed usually within minutes to a couple days. (no need for a new client patch to fix a messed up spell or something) QUOTE(liberty @ Jan 10 2008, 05:09 PM) Oh come on! Private Servers are nothing more that a piece of sh***... I played on WowScape and BurningWow and must admit that the latter was much better, although both are completely waste of your time... 1. Quests are bugged 2. Your talents are bugged 3. Noone goes to battlegrounds 4. Leveling and drop rate is enhanced, so you can be 70lvl in 8hrs if well powerleveled by a 70lvl friend... 5.

You chose probably the biggest and most idiotic of servers to play on. Not every server has stuff like overpowered items and donors, insane exp, bugs in everything, Idiotic GMs, stupid people, the ability to buy tier items. That kind of server is referred to as a "funserver" but honestly its not fun at all. It gets boring after a couple of days and there is no replay value. My server is Blizz-like and has the same exp and drops and everything as Blizzard's. And also I am a GM there and can get the best stuff and I have tried to do that solo the BT thing, it doesn't work because I actually have the scripts correct. Ilidan actually uses spells too. Oh and one thing that I agree with you on, GMs on some servers are total idiots but if the owner of the server had half a brain and controlled their GMs then it would be better. I have personally banned some GMs because they had a god complex. GMs are there to serve the players, they are there to be helpful when someone needs help and not act like they are something special or insanely great. And as far as quest bugs, Yes they exist but realize that bugs exist on the offical servers too. And each and every quest has to be hand programmed from pretty much scratch so there will be issues BUT if your server admin is worth anything he will get them ironed out ASAP. (I don't know how many times I have been up till 3am working on some annoying bugged quest.)
Here are alot of different private servers listed:
http://www.xtremetop100.com/world-of-warcraft I played retail for 2 years of which 1.5 yrs i have raided hardcore. And yes that means you will hardly have a life besides WoW, since you are raiding 6 days a week 4+ hours a night  so...I quitted for my own sake. I enjoyed the free time i had, but WoW is like poison and I had the urge to play it again. Because i was the guildleader of the top 2 raidingguild in the realm, I can't go back and be a casual player, but i also didnt want to lvl some unknown character with crappy gear, so i tried out private servers. This is what i ve learned: There are 3 kinds of private servers: Blizzlike/ Funserver/ High Rate Blizzlike: like normal Blizzard server, with quests and scripts working (bosses and instances are like what blizzard intended they to be like) Funserver: Instant or 1-kill lvl 70, you can buy epics, reagents (custom items) and tiers from vendors High Rate: fast lvl-ing till beyond lvl 70 till around lvl 255, custom instances/ items to fit the higher lvl (bosses and instances are most likely not scripted) Playing a private server wont make you lose you retailaccount, the only thing you have to do is to alter the realmlist. And most private servers update their servers within a week or 2 to the latest Blizpatch There are alot of weird private servers around, from where gm's .kill players for fun to servers where every horde/ally kill other faction on sight. How to find a good private server? Just try out different servers till one is at your liking. But watch out for servers where people can donate for gmpower, since alot of people like to abuse that power. And look how people behave in the general channel, that will most likely show what kind of people to expect. I have chosen for a highrate server myself, just to try out some things and solo some bosses for fun, it was fun for 1-2 weeks I think I ll play WoW again after an expansion, retail is still the best in my opinion, the difference is in the people playing (although the gm's on private servers can be better then in retail XD )
I think in order to even be a GM you should have retail and have a decent lvl character to show that you know quite a bit about the game. I mean if you got a 70 then you know how most things should work such as bosses and ect. Not to mention gear. I play retail and currently have a 70 resto druid a 70 rogue and a 70 pally working on my fourth slowly a 51 hunter. And iv done many raids. Maybe not BT only because only because I want the best gear I can have and the same goes for my team before we enter. I remember the first time I ran kara and ZA and Gruuls we completed kara and gruuls the first attempt. ZA took a second attempt. But we completed them. Not all in one day of course haha. Its those that make the game fun. I play private servers cause I don't feel like lvling another character when I'm bored on retail. Id like to join a server were you gotta work for you gear gotta make groups/raids to get gear. The whole BG thing I mean I love to PvP but if its bugged its not even worth it. And Donors are newbs. They know that. You know that. I would put my life on it that I can beat any donor on the tourny realm sponsored by blizzard in arena why? cause everyone is geared the same SKILL takes place on that realm. So a server that is fun and Requires SKILL would be great.

T use "fun servers" not because I'm bored, but because it's a fast and easy way to learn the skills of a certain class. If I enjoy it or find that it is helpful to me and others, then I play them. It's also good to see what talent combination is best for your class. =) -reply by Grimoire Latest Entries
If you want a free World of Warcraft server try going to www.wowscape.net really nice. they have about 4 or 5 realms. It has a nice population. Helpful people I play on that realm still if you want to go there go to the realm wowlegion, and some of my characters, are: sgthayoken, corphayoken, pvthayoken. look those names up if you are ever on and i could help you get going.
if you need to get ahold of for help my email is william_mccauley@hotmail.com let me know.
I agree the best server i ever palyed on was www.wowgasm.org
Let me warn you. Private server AlphaWoW has a big problem with the GMs� on their site. They are banning people while they are at work, on vacation or offline, banning players from the forum, or deleting posts on anyone that says anything they disagree with on or about this topic as well as other topics. There is one particular GM that is the main person committing the majority of these actions that is know about at this point for sure, his name is Rourke, he will ban anyone for his own humor. The main GMs� do not ask for screenshots or video of bans. If Rourke or any other GM chooses to ban you "no matter if your online or not" than are not asked for any proof of any kind at any time.
There are confirmed reports of people being banned for being Nazi's as well as, talking too much in world chat, asking too many questions to the GMs', posting too much in the forum, posting too many times on a tread, GM's not likening players names so they login with their own accounts and spawn camp until the player he or she leaves the game, players being friends with GMs� and asking GMs' to ban people because they win in Arenas too much or they dislike the player for some unknown reason, massive server crashes for hours, days, weeks and months for reasons that are unclear to admins� or players, these are just a few of the �confirmed� reports. Most of these reports get deleted by the acting GM's before higher ups can see or read the post in the forums, going so far as to ban players from forum access. None of the higher admins� check ban totals or reasons at any point for over banning. It is unclear if Rourke is acting alone or with others, but it seems to be a trend on the server by the admins� to ignore players, ban players all too often for speed hacking as well as not following their own rules at will, depending upon if your a good friend of theirs or not. One thing that is clear, there is a serious break down of management on this private server. It seems to be run off faith based service techs and general managers that respect only the players that are slave based to them. If you do play on this server your player can be banned at any point for no reason or proof at all and you have no course of action to retrieve it, making all your work for nothing. The sever plays well it is up and running, but there is a huge amount of bugged quests and not all of the bosses are scripted, some of the bosses that are scripted have issues. Huge lag spikes, but friendly players on both side over all. If you would like to help change things please make posts to remove Rourke from the admin users by making a post in their forum that is if it is seen before it is deleted. Or at the lease play on another server so you will not too loose your char because of the above non reasons. If you do, do not asking GM questions deal with the server crashes, never ask for help from GM's "you may make one mad and he may ban you months later" as well as staying away from anyone that could ask a GM to ban you because they just do not like being killed by you in tournaments any other non reason for a ban.
