Vanilla WoW servers

[DoodyLich666]

Nost was good, I probably had the closest to a vanilla experience on Emerald Dream long ago, but like vanilla wow, I got bored of it eventually. I’m not sure what eventually took that server down. It had a good pop when I was on it.

Blizz sent a cease and desist order and Nost shut down.

Are any of these servers still available, like how project1999 is doing it?

I'm a bit confused by this, if you want classic wow, I'd just pay for a sub, it's legitimate vanilla wow from the devs?
This question made sense prior, to launch but if you cant afford the $15/mo sub, pick up 2hrs somewhere a month to pay for it.

I'm 100% all for private servers when the devs are not delivering, going private for classic wow when classic wow is available in its best form is kind of weak.

Have ANY of those ever done actual early-era Warcraft, or have all of them been 1.12 nerfed-everything easymode like Blizzard's retail version is? I know most of the private servers were 1.12 based, but maybe one slipped beneath notice someplace? I wouldn't mind taking a tour of Warcraft again with original talents and original pre-nerf world and instance tuning.

I was just thinking something that follows the patch notes as they were, like how the project1999 staff does it, and was wondering the same.

I do think every wow private server I ever tried was 1.12.

I found the one above, and they seem to have done it before w/ Lightshope. Everything is progressively patched except some things like client and talents and maybe other things that are too embedded into the client. pretty active discord it looks like

I'll be honest, from a leveling perspective there is only one glaring thing I hate that deviates and it's the variable spawning rate to handle server populations in areas. I haven't been following it very closely otherwise, comparing classic wow vs p99 to sony live which doesnt pretend to match classic at all seems a bit of a stretch dont you think?

Doesn’t “classic” wow run off of the new engine that they use for the new expansions? I had heard that it was even more nerfed than 1.12 version. My sources could be crack heads though.

WoW Classic has been a pretty fun experience so far.
