Hey Hamsterwheel, I wanna add something from an almost 1 year player on this server, but first of all thanks for you work ! yeah, population is low and yeah people are friendly because of the amounts of the players. I wanna add something. It seems you shot the video this summer and you have to know that the pop is always shittier in middle of summer. You also played as horde and you have to know that the actual balance of alliance and horde is now very. There is like 4-5 active guild alliance versus 1 guild active on horde (De Profundis, 1 of the most active guild on horde was on summer break). The timeline you played also has big influence on this. The major community plays EU times and there is a living NA but they are right now only on alliance side. Regarding leveling, you are right, people basically jumping from lvl 1 to 60, VG is not a place to enjoy leveling. For Dungeons : yup this summer was awful to get groups. For my experience from last year (when I started), there was no problem at all to get group and I got all my pre raid gear in about 2 weeks. Most of the dungeons I ran those days are basically ones I made with people from my guild. Imo, the main the most interesting and thrilling things on this server are the 40 man raid as MC, BWL, AQ40 and mostly NAXX. It’s very easy to go into a good guild and old peoples are happy to help newcomers to gears and get ready for it. I really got the same feelings that I got in retails during those raids and the first downs of naxx bosses are memorable memories. The good things also of a low-pop server is that it’s easy to fill up consumables to raid into a less consuming times that it used to be on retails. So it’s possible there to enjoy Naxx as the original hardcore retails guilds but inna a more casuals ways. Any players that want a shot « almost like retails » 40 mans should gives a shot on this server. I’ll be happy to guide them, Thanks for the spotlights on this, Best regards, Honeycocaine from , horde side
Hey there Honeycocaine, I remember your name from when I was playing there :) You are indeed correct that I shot this video during summer, and therefore it was harder to find pug raids. For instance, I know De Profundis is hosting weekly MC runs on tuesday and there's also a weekly BWL pug on saturday (not sure if it was also hosted by DP) and they were not hosting them due to summer vacation so you're right, I kinda chose a bad time to make the review. After hitting level cap I spent weeks trying to find an MC pug but unfortunately I was a. not available when one was hosted or b. online but nothing was being formed. After x amount of time I had to call it cause I couldn't postpone the review another month just to get footage from MC, hency why I only covered AQ and ZG in the raiding part of this video. And I can totally back up what you said about people being open to newcomers, like I said in the video it only requires a good attitude and willingness to talk to people. I had no trouble getting into raids even with my crappy gear. Anyways thanks a lot for your extensive and very informative comment! Maybe I'll check back in with Vanillagaming as it's a shame to leave a kinda pre-raid bis mage just laying around collecting dust :)
Hi Hamsterwheel First of let me express my respect for your work. Your video of the difficulty of Naxx 40-man is one i have seen more than once and it reminds me of some of the problems we had back then (i was a resto sham. horrible for farming cons aswell -_-). And also i was really suprised and happy to see myself in the video! Overkraftet the troll resto shaman in your ZG run. I would like to point out a few thoughts on the matter, i have been playing on VG for almost 3 years now. Mostly on horde side, but the past 2 months i have been playing around on Alliance. Let me just say that there is alot of activity on alliance side with 2-3 MC pugs, atleast 1 bwl pug and more ZG runs than i have seen on Horde side. This is obviously because most people prefer playing on easy mode ;). there are currently 5 active guilds on Alliance side with 2 NA guilds and 3 EU guilds in naxx. You are totally right about questing and the location bugg on mobs. It is a shame that small issues as these havent been fixed yet but i like to think that most of the effort from dev's have gone into 40man raids which works really good. Asides from a few small buggs (nothing major) most bosses work as intended. Small comment on the buggs that you pointed out. Jeklik's fire bombs are actually in the fight but work in a really wierd way. you cant see the flames but people take the damage. so the longer the fight is the more raid dmg is being put out. Hakkar actually uses corrupted blood but only on 1 person. I wish they would fix this issue aswell since it requires alot more from a raid when you have to get a son of hakkar up, sheep it and kill it when the blood drain is about to happen. From the top of my head a few of the buggs are: The human Nefarian (shadow priest form) hilariously doesnt despawn and the Gate to nefarians room has a chance to stay closed even after he is defeated, so its always funny to see who is the last person inside who gets fucked over by nefarian :D. And the Shaman class call doesnt work on Nefarian. Fankriss's snake adds are somewhat random on the spawn. should be 3 snakes pr wave. but sometimes you get less than 3 or none on a wave. About the voting and donation. I'd like to think that Voting is something that was implemented to help people get on their feet. let me tell you a short story. When i started on the server on my troll mage, i wasnt aware of the voting system. and when you lvl with 15x speed but abilties still cost a buttload of gold. you dont have enough money for all of them, or a mount for that matter. I hit lvl 60 with frostbolt, Arcane intellect and water ranked up. mostly empty gear slots, 1 item above lvl 45 and spent a week farming to make enough money to get a lvl 40 mount and my abilties. Only after this was i told by a guildmember in the guild i joined that i could vote. So in conclusion i would like to see that voting for money was made to help people get mount/abilties while lvling since its so fast compared to the money you make. About donating: Its true you can buy dungeon 0.5 set and t1 sets. and some amount of zg/aq20/mc drops. BUT if you actually look at them. You will see that maybe 1-4 items are worth of interest to a player who wishes to get the best gear possible before BWL. but in most cases. 99% of the pre-raid biS gear is better and top guilds know this. with the donation system you can prepare yourself for bwl possibly. but not higher than that. There is alot of effort put into pre-raid gear by players who wishes to join top guilds and its not a pay to get T3/Thunderfury server. I can see the benefit of having this system on a server where the population isnt very high and instance groups are hard to find. Phew! The post turned out to be alot longer than i expected but i hope my points have put some things in a slightly more positive pespective for you :) Ps. I would recommend that you try out a 40man raid in VG. they really work well. feel free to PM myself or i think you can PM Honey aswell to try and get into one despite gear so you can see them for yourselves :D. Thank you for the review of our server Hamster. Best regards, Underkraftet from Horde side
I just started playing and I did just write a post before commenting here about the new core coming, but was the guild that let me come to ZG with them without evening having a neck, fingers, belt, cloak or anything that even required level 55+ I had a +1 stam/spirit axe on my hunter and a level 19 grey bow - I had boosted the hunter because I think this server was worth it after I had already leveled a character on alliance manually
I've been on and off VG for the past year due to its low pop. I've been dying to do dungeons for more preraid gear so I can actually move on to ZG and others. So, if your guild is recruiting, let me know ;) I'd be down to play every damn day
My very first private server. I played on this maybe 4 years ago. Even though I wouldn't go back and play a server like this, it did open the door for me into the private server world. I am forever grateful for that.
The 15x leveling is it. I don't want to spend a couple of weeks to a month getting to 60 on lights hope, just for vanilla to be released with all my work being deleted. I'm saving the 60 leveling experience for vanilla (plus I normally get like 350+ ping because I'm an Australian.)
Hey Hamsterwheel, just wanted to give you quick a shoutout after a couple of weeks browsing through your content. As time passed you came in the top 3 of my favorite Wow-RUclipsr. Thank you for all this gud stuff!
Hey hamsterwheel really like your videos! I am new to the private server wow scene and it's good to see other servers out there and I really enjoyed your breakdown of this particular server. Hope you make more videos been good peace!
Well, I have been playing for like 6 years on this server I guess, with brakes ofcourse, and yeah its buggy and yeah it has low pop. But the community is friendly and it has one of the best scripted Naxx and they are getting a new core soon, which means no more buggs, fixed dungeons and etc. For the donation part, well, the server has to run somehow. Overall it's a long lasting servers, and ya'll should keep your mains on this server, cause it won't go down.
Vanillagaming is getting a new core!!! I just started playing on this server over the last few days and it's great, the people are awesome, I've made friends with the Grand Marshall on Alliance, got to do a run through ZG with a horde guild thats in Naxx progression, KT apparently hasn't been killed yet on the server so the race is still on, I'm getting throw help left, right and centre and I'm not the only Australian playing on here, I've avoided Elysium because I was expecting it to get the chop not long after it went up because of the Nost stuff, the vote stuff to get gold helps you push to support the server but also helps with class spells, I've voted multiple times and even getting the 100g I still dont have a mount, good gear, riding training or even all my spells yet because of how much you actually needed back then to get everything and it's great it stops you from having to beg when you get to 60 but also doesn't launch you into Naxx either.. I'm not working for them or paid to say this or anything I'd just like to make more friends and guild mates, it really is worth checking out it's quite blizzlike even if you don't think so because of the adjustable XP levels and the Skills XP to make sure you can keep up, when the new core is released I think it would be fair to give it another review if you're interested
I played on that server 2 years ago, and ended about an year ago. Yet I couldn't see half the "baddies" about dungeons you pointed out. In fact, I only noticed the bridge bug, and a bit hard to find a group for dungeons, not much time though! Furthermore, the things you pointed out about Hakkar and mandokir didn't happen to me
This is the type of legacy server that has a bunch of people who have invested WAY too much time on their characters who don't want to move onto Elysium... Vanilla-gaming was somehow worse than Feenix.
I get that it would be fun to play vanilla again and do a few of the old, hard raids once in a while but how can people play it for more than a year or two? Wouldn't you eventually do every boss and have the max gear possible?
Damn, used to play on vanillagaming alot. Me and some friends didn't play in classic so we started on vanillagaming and it was really fun, played for hours on end, me an my friends was in the first horde guild to clear bwl which was really cool and then we progressed to twins in aq40, (never killed the fgts though) but the experience itself was great overall. Back when i played on this server it was always packed with people, and when they announced naxx was coming everyone was really hyped and then just phoenix came and every gm and the top tier players switched and eventually everyone quit including me and my friends,. The best memory i have from was server was when we killed Prophet Skeram and the staff dropped and i rolled a warlock there and i just went in with all the dkp i had which was about 850 and won it and i was so blessed fam.
Great video as usual. Have you tried Excalibur WoW? That's another server that has been running for a long time and seems to have big updates every month
The thing that puts me off of most vanilla servers, is the 1x leveling rate. i just simply dont wanna spend that much time for leveling (even though i enjoy leveling in gerneral) but there are just barely any vanilla servers with a high level rate. i only know vanilla gaming. are there any others with high rates and a descent population?
I get what you're saying about low population servers! Back in 2008-2009 I remember playing on this Romanian private server called WizardWorld on its wrath client my friends were playing. The population was around 400-500 players at peek hours and my guild didn't really had problems in forming raid groups! Sometimes you could skype another player from some other guild to join if he was free or if you happen to be friends or in a guild with a donating player that have custom made items with extreme stats (that we called TUNE-up items) you could run naxx with 10 to 12 people. In about a year I got to know about half the server population and even met some IRL! The server itself was not so great and some bosses in raids casted completely different spells like in ICC Lord Marrowgar would cast chain lightning and poison in his bone storm phase!
I had thought about playing on this server, but after watching this video: no thanks. I seriously just wish there was a higher rate Vanilla server out there. Even 3x xp rate would be completely okay with me. Just something that isn't 10 days /played 1x xp rate.
I played on this server and made it to level 8 before i quit, i went 1x experience though. Neutral mobs were aggroing without me attacking them. When mobs flee they apparently get the ability to run through walls and a mob I was fighting shot to the roof of the building after walking through the wall then it reset.. really lame, it happend 2 times in a row. Mobs were resetting when i hardly even pulled them away from their original spot, really annoying. To top it off I would get stuck in combat multiple times. It blows my mind this server has this many bugs with how old it is.
This was my first private server. I had a good time, but isn't a true emulation. More just trying to get some quick nostalgia and move on or just play for a couple hours a week to raid MC ZG and AQ20 through pugs
RIP, this server is now closed. Played for about 9 years here. Started to play the very first day and it closed without a warning. Too bad I couldnt say goodbye to my characters
posting on the AH is only free at 8 hrs. this is because of such a low pop and that u may lose money by posting items. it's to encourage people to sell. AH is also cross faction.
I quit playing vanilla a little while ago, just a month or two. And now decided to come back for a while, but i have an issue. The client keeps freezing, even in the log in screen, but if i tab out and back in its fixed ( but just for a second or two, then it freezes again). Did anyone else have thing bug going on and know how to fix it? Regual Legion wow works no problem, and I play it daily.
try getting your anti-virus program to allow it. when I have trouble logging on, I just click on my AV and an allowance thing pops up, I click allow, and the previous problem is gone. it happens a lot.
Why do you even bother?? Elysium is an exceptionally scripted vanilla server and the best one out there. If you just want 60 content play on RetroWoW...
Thing is, there are people out there that don't want to level on a 1x rate server so they prefer sticking to highrate servers. Retro WoW is a good alternative, but they have custom raid content (vanilla raids but scaled down to 5 man) which is something not everyone likes.
What free server should I play on? I want the 1-60 leveling experience (or 1-70) just a populair server so I can also be able to do some lower level dungeons and quests with other people also leveling. Thanks!
I was gonna vomit a wall of text but i don't have to. you nailed it hamster. Avoid this server like the plague. Honestly the worst server i've ever been on
Hey hamster, ik u hate elysium but so did i... But honestly it's changed alot.. The whole shady, corruptness that u pointed out, ive noticed none of it.. But anyways i think u should go check it out again
Yeah I've found the server pretty buggy but not bad. You can turn the x15 exp off and also the auction house seems to cost gold now and isn't free. It is pretty empty though which sucks. Community has been amazing so far. Overall not bad but not amazing either.
Thanks for your honest words! Yeah the auction house sucks kinda bad and the prices are horribly inflated, but like you said the community is definitely not bad at all
no one stated it was a bug free server he just said it was great once and it used to have lots of players, but as the years go on people want high quality servers.
What free server should I play on? I want the 1-60 leveling experience (or 1-70) just a populair server so I can also be able to do some lower level dungeons and quests with other people also leveling. Thanks!
The server pop on nonsummer time is about 400-500 players on the raiding days.Theres no good scripted dung and because of broken boss mechanics the experience from the raids sucks.Feenix was better than VG but at the moment theres way better Vanilla realms where you can play.
2:19 you say that people are nice on the server and there is a guy called "Dick(head)" in the world chat 😂 its the Kurchina guy btw,legit means dick on my language
Hey Hamsterwheel,
I wanna add something from an almost 1 year player on this server, but first of all thanks for you work !
yeah, population is low and yeah people are friendly because of the amounts of the players. I wanna add something. It seems you shot the video this summer and you have to know that the pop is always shittier in middle of summer. You also played as horde and you have to know that the actual balance of alliance and horde is now very. There is like 4-5 active guild alliance versus 1 guild active on horde (De Profundis, 1 of the most active guild on horde was on summer break).
The timeline you played also has big influence on this. The major community plays EU times and there is a living NA but they are right now only on alliance side.
Regarding leveling, you are right, people basically jumping from lvl 1 to 60, VG is not a place to enjoy leveling.
For Dungeons : yup this summer was awful to get groups. For my experience from last year (when I started), there was no problem at all to get group and I got all my pre raid gear in about 2 weeks. Most of the dungeons I ran those days are basically ones I made with people from my guild.
Imo, the main the most interesting and thrilling things on this server are the 40 man raid as MC, BWL, AQ40 and mostly NAXX. It’s very easy to go into a good guild and old peoples are happy to help newcomers to gears and get ready for it. I really got the same feelings that I got in retails during those raids and the first downs of naxx bosses are memorable memories. The good things also of a low-pop server is that it’s easy to fill up consumables to raid into a less consuming times that it used to be on retails. So it’s possible there to enjoy Naxx as the original hardcore retails guilds but inna a more casuals ways.
Any players that want a shot « almost like retails » 40 mans should gives a shot on this server. I’ll be happy to guide them,
Thanks for the spotlights on this,
Best regards,

And I can totally back up what you said about people being open to newcomers, like I said in the video it only requires a good attitude and willingness to talk to people. I had no trouble getting into raids even with my crappy gear.
Anyways thanks a lot for your extensive and very informative comment! Maybe I'll check back in with Vanillagaming as it's a shame to leave a kinda pre-raid bis mage just laying around collecting dust :)
Hi Hamsterwheel
First of let me express my respect for your work. Your video of the difficulty of Naxx 40-man is one i have seen more than once and it reminds me of some of the problems we had back then (i was a resto sham. horrible for farming cons aswell -_-). And also i was really suprised and happy to see myself in the video! Overkraftet the troll resto shaman in your ZG run.

Small comment on the buggs that you pointed out.
Jeklik's fire bombs are actually in the fight but work in a really wierd way. you cant see the flames but people take the damage. so the longer the fight is the more raid dmg is being put out.
Hakkar actually uses corrupted blood but only on 1 person. I wish they would fix this issue aswell since it requires alot more from a raid when you have to get a son of hakkar up, sheep it and kill it when the blood drain is about to happen.
From the top of my head a few of the buggs are:
The human Nefarian (shadow priest form) hilariously doesnt despawn and the Gate to nefarians room has a chance to stay closed even after he is defeated, so its always funny to see who is the last person inside who gets fucked over by nefarian :D. And the Shaman class call doesnt work on Nefarian.
Fankriss's snake adds are somewhat random on the spawn. should be 3 snakes pr wave. but sometimes you get less than 3 or none on a wave.
About the voting and donation.
I'd like to think that Voting is something that was implemented to help people get on their feet. let me tell you a short story.
When i started on the server on my troll mage, i wasnt aware of the voting system. and when you lvl with 15x speed but abilties still cost a buttload of gold. you dont have enough money for all of them, or a mount for that matter. I hit lvl 60 with frostbolt, Arcane intellect and water ranked up. mostly empty gear slots, 1 item above lvl 45 and spent a week farming to make enough money to get a lvl 40 mount and my abilties. Only after this was i told by a guildmember in the guild i joined that i could vote.
So in conclusion i would like to see that voting for money was made to help people get mount/abilties while lvling since its so fast compared to the money you make.
About donating:
Its true you can buy dungeon 0.5 set and t1 sets. and some amount of zg/aq20/mc drops. BUT if you actually look at them. You will see that maybe 1-4 items are worth of interest to a player who wishes to get the best gear possible before BWL. but in most cases. 99% of the pre-raid biS gear is better and top guilds know this. with the donation system you can prepare yourself for bwl possibly. but not higher than that. There is alot of effort put into pre-raid gear by players who wishes to join top guilds and its not a pay to get T3/Thunderfury server.
I can see the benefit of having this system on a server where the population isnt very high and instance groups are hard to find.
Phew! The post turned out to be alot longer than i expected but i hope my points have put some things in a slightly more positive pespective for you :)
Ps. I would recommend that you try out a 40man raid in VG. they really work well. feel free to PM myself or i think you can PM Honey aswell to try and get into one despite gear so you can see them for yourselves :D.

is actually recruiting I know they want hunters

I'm liking the new video essay format, Hamster, keep it up!
Thanks a lot!

Hey Hamsterwheel, just wanted to give you quick a shoutout after a couple of weeks browsing through your content. As time passed you came in the top 3 of my favorite Wow-RUclipsr. Thank you for all this gud stuff!
Hey hamsterwheel really like your videos! I am new to the private server wow scene and it's good to see other servers out there and I really enjoyed your breakdown of this particular server. Hope you make more videos been good peace!
I’m happy to say a lot of these leveling issues are fixed and working

Overall it's a long lasting servers, and ya'll should keep your mains on this server, cause it won't go down.
once upon a time donations were item level based on content cleared but this was around the time the server opened
Great video. I shouldnt have started to read the comments section tho XD
Still not as bad as the comment section on any post on /r/wowservers tho :)
2:05 what u doing in the background??
Vanillagaming is getting a new core!!! I just started playing on this server over the last few days and it's great, the people are awesome, I've made friends with the Grand Marshall on Alliance, got to do a run through ZG with a horde guild thats in Naxx progression, KT apparently hasn't been killed yet on the server so the race is still on, I'm getting throw help left, right and centre and I'm not the only Australian playing on here, I've avoided Elysium because I was expecting it to get the chop not long after it went up because of the Nost stuff, the vote stuff to get gold helps you push to support the server but also helps with class spells, I've voted multiple times and even getting the 100g I still dont have a mount, good gear, riding training or even all my spells yet because of how much you actually needed back then to get everything and it's great it stops you from having to beg when you get to 60 but also doesn't launch you into Naxx either..

Gearing up your Death Knight, Wrath Of The Lich King.
Very nice video mate, Well done.
I played on that server 2 years ago, and ended about an year ago. Yet I couldn't see half the "baddies" about dungeons you pointed out. In fact, I only noticed the bridge bug, and a bit hard to find a group for dungeons, not much time though! Furthermore, the things you pointed out about Hakkar and mandokir didn't happen to me

This server is all in for experiencing the endgame raids where it's scripted exceptionally good and people have a lot of experience.
please ad server info and website in the description of this video.
1st boss in scholo is spawned by the group with blood looted from a previous run.
Damn, used to play on vanillagaming alot. Me and some friends didn't play in classic so we started on vanillagaming and it was really fun, played for hours on end, me an my friends was in the first horde guild to clear bwl which was really cool and then we progressed to twins in aq40, (never killed the fgts though) but the experience itself was great overall.

The best memory i have from was server was when we killed Prophet Skeram and the staff dropped and i rolled a warlock there and i just went in with all the dkp i had which was about 850 and won it and i was so blessed fam.
I highly recommend this server
*EDIT* : This server is toxic as shit
YOU THINK YOU DO BUT YOU DONT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Great video as usual. Have you tried Excalibur WoW? That's another server that has been running for a long time and seems to have big updates every month
I haven't, maybe in the near future
Excal is like VG in size and bug problems, but it's x2 leveling xD
This is pretty much the only server that gives you the opportunity to experience blizzlike naxxramas out there.
nikola djurov Druze seres mnogo, igrao sam na serveru do prosle godine, odgovorno tvrdim da je naxxramas 98% blizzlike sa mozda dva minor buga.
What is the number of players?
Not that high, couple of hundred
Now that classic is out, it’s probably dead
This server used to be the best vanilla experience out there, during 2012-2014, booming with pop and guilds
what abut the alliance perspective? hello?
The thing that puts me off of most vanilla servers, is the 1x leveling rate. i just simply dont wanna spend that much time for leveling (even though i enjoy leveling in gerneral) but there are just barely any vanilla servers with a high level rate. i only know vanilla gaming. are there any others with high rates and a descent population?
how do i join a private server and are you gonna play classic when it comes out ?
I get what you're saying about low population servers! Back in 2008-2009 I remember playing on this Romanian private server called WizardWorld on its wrath client my friends were playing. The population was around 400-500 players at peek hours and my guild didn't really had problems in forming raid groups! Sometimes you could skype another player from some other guild to join if he was free or if you happen to be friends or in a guild with a donating player that have custom made items with extreme stats (that we called TUNE-up items) you could run naxx with 10 to 12 people. In about a year I got to know about half the server population and even met some IRL! The server itself was not so great and some bosses in raids casted completely different spells like in ICC Lord Marrowgar would cast chain lightning and poison in his bone storm phase!
How do I make mine full screen? Cause mine isn't and it has a big dark border around it
The intro made me cry.
Hello, for you what the best vanilla server actually ?
You have great taste in music
I had thought about playing on this server, but after watching this video: no thanks. I seriously just wish there was a higher rate Vanilla server out there. Even 3x xp rate would be completely okay with me. Just something that isn't 10 days /played 1x xp rate.
argif in video, my best budy :)
have he done Lightshope yet?
Waiting for the plagueworks videos from Dalaran wow. I hope you will upload them!
No quest helper in WoW is rough. Based on exploreing knowledge.
How are the frames moving?
How large the population is nowadays with Classic WoW out?
Its still low its sad tbh because is not that bad of a server😒
Lol seeing myself in that wsg was sorta cool
Most players on VG are alliance in 2019.
I played on this server and made it to level 8 before i quit, i went 1x experience though. Neutral mobs were aggroing without me attacking them. When mobs flee they apparently get the ability to run through walls and a mob I was fighting shot to the roof of the building after walking through the wall then it reset.. really lame, it happend 2 times in a row. Mobs were resetting when i hardly even pulled them away from their original spot, really annoying. To top it off I would get stuck in combat multiple times. It blows my mind this server has this many bugs with how old it is.
VanillaGaming has a very nice community.
Guys where am i supposed to play then? Elysium?
Jayce yes its the best x1 vanilla blizzlike server, and its populated (over at some moments)
its not the best it sucks people are toxic and the server has crapy hosts
rampage the sneaky lil bitch and which is better?
rampage the sneaky lil bitch
Jayce can you share a link to dowload vanilla WoW, elysium links doen't work
oh cool I'm in a hamster video 9:57
This was my first private server. I had a good time, but isn't a true emulation. More just trying to get some quick nostalgia and move on or just play for a couple hours a week to raid MC ZG and AQ20 through pugs
Nem megy ez a World of Warcraft szerver. Nem lehetne ezt a World of Warcraft szervert megjavitani? Nekem nagyon nagy szuksegem lenne ra.
I want a good private vanilla or TBC private server or if you know anyone that will release soon, can you recommend?
Any good vanilla server gets shut down shortly after released. Otherwise, it is bad.
Kraito Krombongus warmane is a good tbc server
This server is implementing a new core which should fix many of the bugs.
They’ve been saying that for years
RIP, this server is now closed. Played for about 9 years here. Started to play the very first day and it closed without a warning. Too bad I couldnt say goodbye to my characters
You should try the private server known as firemaw
About 4 years ago somebody came onto the server promoting their gold selling website and gave everybody like 100k gold.
posting on the AH is only free at 8 hrs. this is because of such a low pop and that u may lose money by posting items. it's to encourage people to sell. AH is also cross faction.
Thanks for clarifying!
11:12 LOL
I didn't slam my desk tho, missed opportunity
Would love to Download this server but I have forgotten how to do the steps. Anyone mind helping?
Trystan Miller Just watch a guide or go to the VanillaGaming site.
well Block934'ed my good sir
Top dankje! Gelukkig krijgen we binnenkort een nieuwe core ipv deze crap scripts ;D
Why dident you ask anyone why they are loyal?
I quit playing vanilla a little while ago, just a month or two. And now decided to come back for a while, but i have an issue. The client keeps freezing, even in the log in screen, but if i tab out and back in its fixed ( but just for a second or two, then it freezes again). Did anyone else have thing bug going on and know how to fix it? Regual Legion wow works no problem, and I play it daily.
try getting your anti-virus program to allow it. when I have trouble logging on, I just click on my AV and an allowance thing pops up, I click allow, and the previous problem is gone. it happens a lot.
But if it was the AV I wouldnt be able to get on at all..? I tecnically can log on, by spamming alt tab all the time
Why do you even bother?? Elysium is an exceptionally scripted vanilla server and the best one out there. If you just want 60 content play on RetroWoW...
Kubko Elysium has good coders, flawed schedule, and the worst wow player base I have wasted my time trying to interacting with
I had the opposite experience.
Thing is, there are people out there that don't want to level on a 1x rate server so they prefer sticking to highrate servers. Retro WoW is a good alternative, but they have custom raid content (vanilla raids but scaled down to 5 man) which is something not everyone likes.
well if they get back up that is
What free server should I play on? I want the 1-60 leveling experience (or 1-70) just a populair server so I can also be able to do some lower level dungeons and quests with other people also leveling. Thanks!
Is it free to play on this servers?
Gheorghe Rusu Yes, and its a very good server.
someone can u share Link Register and Link Realmlist this wow Vanillagaming?
Block934
xDDD i tried to hack it using "Hamsterwheel" as password
My maaaaaan
My boiiiii
Good server played for so long time ppls so friendly.
Ebb And Flow, best guild ever
at 10:20 when he has 1337 hp! :D
I was gonna vomit a wall of text but i don't have to. you nailed it hamster.
Avoid this server like the plague. Honestly the worst server i've ever been on
*doing AQ20 and literally killing a giant bug* "the raid went alright, no huge bugs"
ba dum tss
ha
hi the new core changed alot and all those bugs are fixed. this is from old core. if you are interested in a review log and we have a chat. :)
>donates for gear
>account details changed
gg
My first server ever. : S
I cant imagine playing vanilla wow for like 7 years straight lmao, i need new content every month or so
Hey hamster, ik u hate elysium but so did i... But honestly it's changed alot.. The whole shady, corruptness that u pointed out, ive noticed none of it.. But anyways i think u should go check it out again
Everyone keeps coming back to vanillagaming because it's fast to level there
Yeah I've found the server pretty buggy but not bad. You can turn the x15 exp off and also the auction house seems to cost gold now and isn't free. It is pretty empty though which sucks. Community has been amazing so far. Overall not bad but not amazing either.
Thanks for your honest words! Yeah the auction house sucks kinda bad and the prices are horribly inflated, but like you said the community is definitely not bad at all
So warmane still best privateserver but no vanilla
not much vanilla if exp is x15 :(
i spend fucking 5 years on that server :( im playing tbc now
i use to play on there and it was so mutch beter a few years ago
I was just on here today. People are rude AF.
Merci très cher
ayee
terrible terrible terrible server
it use to be great. and blooming whit people but it hasfallen many years ago
are you really going to try to suggest that VG is a stable and bug free private WoW server and better than others that are currently available?
no one stated it was a bug free server he just said it was great once and it used to have lots of players, but as the years go on people want high quality servers.
What free server should I play on? I want the 1-60 leveling experience (or 1-70) just a populair server so I can also be able to do some lower level dungeons and quests with other people also leveling. Thanks!
5th! - But really good video dude!
gonna buy some more gold ?
dodgykebaab review freakz legion plzzzz
The server pop on nonsummer time is about 400-500 players on the raiding days.Theres no good scripted dung and because of broken boss mechanics the experience from the raids sucks.Feenix was better than VG but at the moment theres way better Vanilla realms where you can play.
Elysium is pretty good private server
2:19 you say that people are nice on the server and there is a guy called "Dick(head)" in the world chat 😂 its the Kurchina guy btw,legit means dick on my language
I just had to say about this server has been shut down
Jeeeeah few years ago GMs deleted my gear adn blamed hacking, i wasnt the only victim.
>Has more than x1 rates on anything
>Has cash shop
Didn't watched further.
LOL fucking 50 times leveling, but still crazy attunements lol
15 times, but yeah still crazy high xp rate and all the attunements in place :)
Ooooo ok lol 15 times makes more sense then 50.
Wow, 8 years of progress and this is what it look like? Terrible. Better try Twinstar.
Aye
please shout out primal wow again for us Hamsterwheel we need your help
