    To be fair, if you're having hundreds hour of fun on a server, with the peace of mind the server, and your characters, will not go away anytime soon, if ever, they deserve the $10 tip. I've always been in the mindset to reward quality.

    I only don't play there anymore because, believe it or not, Shadowlands is way more convenient and plane better for newer players or alta-holics. Chromie time alone makes the experience 1000x better. But to each their own.

    I don't think I'd pick icecrown over lordaeron honestly. Maybe if you have very limited time and just want to casually raid, because leveling is x7 faster and easier to find pugs. But don't expect much of a community there. Lordaeron is the opposite, it's pretty much copy of blizzard with some buffs on bosses, the community is pretty tight and easier to make friends.

      @@ZBZIK423 Personally I wouldn't recommend lordaeron. The guy before me highlighted the community as a positive thing, but I experienced the opposite. Hardcore mentality was pretty injurious for me. People expect you to know all the tactics for icecrown citadel, if you make one single mistake they usually kick or offend you. Also without achivements you will find it almost impossible to get raid invitations, even for zero skill required raids like VOA. And my biggest problem (which why i quit playing lordaeron) is that it's really hard to find a guild there, if you don't play as healer or tank. I couldn't find one as a 6.1K unholy dk. I had all the stuff you can get from pug raids, it was hard, it was painful, and I couldn't even experience a HC ICC cause for invitations you must have achivement. I didn't play on icecrown, but if i ever come back to wotlk i'm gonna give it a shot, and never get in touch with lordaeron again. Toxic elitist community, barely even find a pug raid and if you do you won't be able to kill more than 7 bosses at the citadel with 5.8K gearscored players. Minimum requirement for icc10 9 bosses is 5.8-5.9 which is crazy cause at that gear you won't get usable items.

    The thing that I hate the most while playing on the server, and honestly made me give up is that when you PVP you PVP cross realm. On first, this might sound cool right, but what made me quit is the fact that you have to grind your a$$ off on Lorderon or even Icecrown, and when you queue and enter PVP, you mix with players of Blackrock, which is instant 80 server, and character have Relentless out of the box (since it is pvp server). Simply it is not fair =). Btw the devs and GMs does outstanding work banning botters etc, which is 100x times better than Classic WoW =), thumbs up for that for Warmane Team.

    Warmane was so successful because of their continuance from Molten-WoW. It was ran like a proper business, making 100s of thousands of dollars every month, until the top guy ran off with the entire DB and money. I used to do DB work for both them and Eternal-WoW back in the day and they were raaaaking in the money. I would not be surprised if those bots are ran by Warmane themselves as you think, they deployed similar tactics back in the day when it was Molten to try to extract as much money as possible from their playerbase.

      Probably because warmane is full of lvl 80 players that are focused of raiding, not leveling, dalaran is full of players, global too, with multiple players looking for raids and more than enough guilds to join.
      The point is, warmane is centered around raiding, not lvling nor casual content.
      For example the guy who made the video mentions a bunch of 5k gs characters that he has... that is nothing for warmane, 5k is more like the starting point, the moment you are able to join icc raids.
      After 5k gs is when the real warmane experience starts and the grind to full bis, and for that purpose, warmane offers more than enough.

    It used to be really hard, most people were still figuring stuff out and only a handful of people managed to do LOD weekly.
    The quality of the Lordaeron community is by far the better choice.
    On iceclown people will pull random BS and disapear into the void since it's easy to screw others and create a new account, they'll be raiding within a week.
    No real sense of community or accomplishment, everyone and their grandmother are bis.
    If they can't get there, they'll buy the gear.
    Global there asks for 6k GS to do RS25 because they lack skill to do proper mechanics.
    On Lordaeron with the right community members you will find 5.5gs ppl running RS25 flawlessly.
    As someone new to wow, if I really want to learn a class, spec, fight mechanics, the right people in Lordaeron are the best to learn.

    I stopped playing retail in june 2016 and went to warmane and i'm playing here on dialy basis.
    Many times people said that Warmane will be dead server, look back i need to laugh at these doomsayers yelling "warmane is declining after moltdown it will be dead in few years, Classic wow will kill warmane, classic wrath will kill warmane"
    Few weeks ago, i just talked like with one chinese guy which said that many chinese players are now moving to warmane after blizzard shut down chinese realms. When i asked how much he said that just only from his realm he met like 100 people on warmane icecrown.
    So i guess warmane will be still around in the future.

    The thing with warmane compared to stormforge when comes to population is
    Warmane being 3.3.5 is one continent bigger than stormforge 2.4.3
    When on warmane site shows 6 k people online,you have full av,full wg,people anywhere you go,dalaran full of people,hundreds of people looking for different raids,any northrend leveling zone is full of people...
    When stormforge site says 10 k people online , you have dead chat , cant find single group for nothing,no bg's,empty leveling zones... My guess would be stormforge is faking population big time. When server says 10.000 players online,there is actually 2 k people.
    So id say even if warmane is lying about its population , there's a feeling like there are actually 6.000-12.000 people because at ANY given point you can find group for anything you want
    Back in the days when warmane had TBC and population of 8.000 people, bg's were full of people . I will remember until the day i die, it was 5AM , 4 AV's going on at the same time. The moment you finish one,you queue for another and you get instant inv . And those were not half full av's, they were full of people. It was like that every single day. Other BG's were also full of people ,instant invite for any bg you queue up. Dungeons,HC's,attunements,group quests...24/7 activity, anything you want.
    And now you have stormforge, 6-10 k players online,you cant find anyone,anywhere.
    Feenix wow (2.4.3) had population of 3.000 to 4.500 players. It was the same case as warmane TBC , any activity you want,anytime you want , you can get it.
    Alpha wow 2.4.3 (long time ago) same case as feenix . 4.000 players online,bg's and hc's 24/7

    Hamster you forgot to mention PvP which is unplayable because of all the bought gear. 80% of PvP classes are Paladin / Warrior / DK with Shadowmourne and a couple of healers to make up the numbers. I have played an AB in which there were 15 players with a Shadowmourne, I did count them... because I had the time to - was dead after 5sek each time my defensive CDs run out.
    Pug raids are a "pain" as you mentioned when it comes to GS requirements and there are far more toxic-egoistic people on the server then you think / have mentioned. Tanking in dungeons in general is a terrible experience, because of the DPS in the group thinking they can "take on the entire world". They just do whatever they want, I would call it selfish and disrespectful.
    While leveling your character it is not uncommon to get spawn killed by some random max lvl player in most of the zones, especially in borean tundra and howling fjords (starting areas).
    Unfortunately and I mean unfortunately it is the most "alive and reliable" wotlk server out there.

    i played on and off for a long time until i decided enought its enough ..... i started on molten and after 2 purges back to back stayed on icecrown. The server is the most toxic server i have ever experienced,on any expansion or private server. The numbers on the site are just so fake....there are times when there are 12k players on icecrown and maybe 5+ k on the other realms and even if its crossrealm bg you still stay 5-6 minutes for a que to pop (on alliance i waited 8-10 minutes) . Sometimes you see people staying in the same spot in dalaran for DAYS . And not to mention the char trade system which in my personal opinion is just bad. Oh and good luck leveling ,people on this server will camp people 30-40 levels under them and just farm them and feel like they are heroes,thats not world pvp thats just stupid.

    warmane was fun, until you reach 80 and realise why a load of players are stuck at a certain GS and resort to buying gear, Players are stuck because some people in raids, infact so many people in raids don't even know the tactics even after multiple minutes of explaining and multiple tries, people leave after 1/2 wipes even on icc10n... , my best experience on warmane was definitely the frostmourne server, a progressive wotlk server.. i had so much fun on there doing the raids, icecrown is just icc / toc and VoA, nobody does ulduar, nobody does naxx (except for challenge runs that require 6.2GS in groups) would be nice if they had timewalking in there to make older raids doable, i'd definitely stick to icecrown then ;p

    I believe the main reason why this server can be toxic is because there are so much lvl 80s that they are bored and jsut go ganking in Tanaris and STV. I have played dungeons with the RDF and people are usually supportive if you don't know the dungeons really well as long so you try to learn

    • @davidepannone6021
      @davidepannone6021 Před 11 měsíci

      Yeah warmane is not the server if you're a noob starting. Even if you go past the horrible levelling experience (especially on lordareon since it's 1x), you won't ever see the endgame as they always require absurd gs (i've seen people asking for 8k lmao) and "link achiev fall of the lich king". Warmane is fun if you have an established character (that can basically feed alts). Or if you have a guild made of friends playing there that are actually enough in numbers to run endgame. Otherwise forget it. You won't go far if you're a completely new dude that simply wants to try wrath.
      They don't care about it because they have always full servers+Q times but the perfect solution would be to at least make the server PVE only for characters below level 80 (unless they chose to flag themselves for it, if you're into getting ganked hey, be my guest). That would at least alleviate that issue, especially on lordareon. You would still have the endgame "link achiev" issue, but then you can maybe join a guild that does carry raids once a week or something to get noobs geared.

    i was a warmane nay sayer due to its cash shop, then i had no other thing to play and my friend asked me to play there, and so i started to play there out of curiosity and man im amazed how they manage to ban RMTs, bots,etc. i was still disgusted by the cash shop, but the longer i play i realised with that fast progression like exp, reps, etc, its so freakin easy to catch up with people. sure getting into raids on my first toon was harder, but the key was finding the same progressing people , and that was easy enough.
    the only downside for me is that even horde has more population but the people arent that much of pvp enthusiasts, i got ganked multiple times during leveling and people were rarely keen to help. but when i switch to alliance, man they're so eager to help u with ganking problems. now im stuck in alliance with the heart of the horde😅

      @felixdarkterror1321 Před 11 měsíci

      P2W does not matter you can just ignore it because it is easy to get geared if you learn the game and find the proper guilds.
      Also... yhea alliance are more into PVP the reason of it is because they have a massive advantage because of their racial skills, specially if we look at the humans racial that removes any cc, because that means you have the PVP trinket as a racial and can use doble pve trinkets, wich means massive damage boost.
      To compare:
      DBW hc gives: 1400 atk power for 30 sec. 1.45 min cd
      STS hc gives: 1500 atk power for 15 sec. 45 sec. Cooldown
      Orc racial gives: 322 atk power for 15 sec. 2min cooldown
      So. Humans can use both STS and DBW because they can take off cc with their racial, but Orcs have to use the pvp trinket.
      We are basically comparing 1400 atk power buff from trinket vs 322 atk power buff from orc racial
      Again, it is a massive advantage from humans.

    With how toxic the playerbase is, it's almost a tragedy this server has survived so long. Keep an environment stale and unmoderated for years and players will run out of stuff to do and f*cks to give, resulting in one of the most rude, degenerate playerbases I've ever seen. The only joy these players get after rushing through the same raid for the billionth time with only the 6000 GS players they allow into them is ganking lowbies and making life miserable for everyone else.
    That said, the server itself is pretty good. If you have friends there or aren't prone to being swayed by the masses, you'll find working quests, few to no crashes and just a place you can pop in and out of whenever you please for the low price of 0 money.
