First private server I ever played. Wouldn't have even known about them if it wasn't for feenix. Tried to check out their website a couple of weeks ago, really sad to see this. Rest in peace peenix.
I played on Kamical WAAAAAAAY back in the day (2008) but it was very cliche-ish and for only a $50 donation, you could have any legendary. Years later, I heard about Feenix from watching Cypis' gameplay on Emerald Dream. I was hooked. I spent a LOT of time on Feenix and loved it. RIP.
6:45 Oh my. When my guild was doing Mother in BT the server went down. Nothing special about that as we were used to it. When the server came back we only had 24/25 people log in. The guy who still was offline told us that his character was gone and asked us to see if it still was in the guild; it was not. His character had legit been deleted. Our guild master decided to contact a GM about the scenario. No response. So 7 others in the raid copy pasted the exact same ticket. Our GM got a response within 10 sec. The Game Master was threatening with banning the entire guild for spamming the ticket system... But hey, at least we had their attention, right? NOPE they could not do anything about the lost character. So we decided to contact another Guild Master who knew a Game Master. The resto shaman had his character back within 3 min...
Hamsterwheel feenix was the reason i actually noticed your channel. Had a great time there with Hatw guild. Eventually followed you to Primal and Had great fun there too with vanilla knights. Hate guild migrated to Dalaran and thats where i am still at. It all started on feenix RIP
Athairne destroyed it because he`s utterly stupid and has no clue about life in general. On a side note, feels good to see some footage from Warsong. Nice times there! Good community.
Big shoutout to all members from feenix time. It was a big pleasure playing there. I remember peak online about 4k ppl Special salute to Viribus Unitis, Forsaken, Tunnel vision guild members and many more. Jieke priest here :) I miss those long premade wsgs :)))
Good vid; I agree With the fact that the do at least deserve some credit. You and possibly others got their start there and the gave the community somewhere to start.
Over 300 days played on Feenix servers and I don't regret even a second! Wiston the hunter, Wistown the Warlock! Wisston the warrior and many more characters with similar names. I quite enjoyed the path finding bugs, also there were some funky abuse tactics you could do with the mind control hat. Like raiding and entire city with a single guard. ahh good times.
RIP - You have to be ready for it all to end when playing on a private server. I just wish blizz would make some legit legacy servers so we could come out of the fucking shadow.
Galata(70) NE female Druid 100+HKS including Justicar Title; Drunkenmaste(60) NE male (feral)Druid, Zopiclon(60) HU female HPriest, Naiyru(60) NE female Balancedruid. Miss u guys from Praeda :)
This is sad. A buddy and me started an active Ally guild a couple years ago and met a lot of cool people on Feenix. We had a blast. I still have lots of Skype and Vent contacts from that time. Sure LOS was buggy and other little things, but that was part of the charm. We all fist pounded the desk about the same stuff. Gonna miss it.
I unfortunately wasn't even aware that this whole thing happened. Back when I was playing on Warsong I wasn't even aware that you could donate and get free gear (yes, I was that oblivious). It was only after a considerable time I figured out you could vote and donate for gear, and slowly but surely I saw the effect that it had on the server. Good point though!
Kinda a shame, since i played a while back in 2015, i can understand why they did this, it took alot of money and time for a 10-50 pop server that never really saw any progress, it was good from 2012-2015 but dropped in pop dramatically since then. RIP Feenix
i remember when emerald dream was the elysium of today. what i meanby that, is that it had a huge population and it was blizzlike. this was my first private server ever
I miss Echeloned WoW, it got taken down years ago but it was the best themepark private server ever. People could create their own instances and set up buildings/objects for roleplaying and also obstacle courses. You had GM commands and could switch into any model you wanted, spawn any item, teleport anywhere, and spawn npcs in your instance. So much fun was had
Sad to hear this.Altough I dont play WOW anymore,used to have major fun on Feenix.Played there ever since the beggining.Had very nice time in PVE and PVP with some top server guilds like AOO and Hate.Will miss my enhance and ele shamans :( greetings from SBjunior ;)
I have footage of the guild I was in testing archimonde with the GMs, they ported us to the big gm skybox and spawned him in there. It was still very buggy and I have the TS audio and all, very nostalgic!
Played and devd back in 2010-2012, Forj. Good times back then great group of people both raiding and dev'ing. Lots of fun and unique experience, bugs and exploits had their charm and the patches in scripting were awesome, lol. Interesting to see how it played out after I left for rl stuff. Good times!
Swagbringer - Emerald Dream Paladin never played on a private server since. Felt like they were a waste of time and haven't played wow since, thank God for classic.
i played feenix warsong in 2015 and it was pretty low pop then.. did they have a resurgence and then die? i felt like it was barely active to begin with
Damn, I had no idea Feenix was havin' problems. Their vanilla servers were the first private servers I ever played on and their Emerald Dream server is what got me into wanting good blizz-like servers as before then I had just dicked around on Al'Akir.
Started my private journey on Feenix Warsong also. Then I went over to Emerald Dream. I got tired of vanilla and found some TBC server which I don't remember the name of. Then I went over to Primal WoW: Vanilla with 3.5.5 software. Left that and went over to Atlantiss Cata for a while. Then I played on Dalaran WoW WOTLK server. And now I am back on Antaltiss Cata. I have never played Cata in retail and I want to see some new things. Now I want to try Pandaria. Will you play legacy by Blizzard? I have played vanilla SO much on private servers so I am pretty tired of that.
My first private server was feenix, I joined before Emerald Dream was released and I was so hyped to play vanilla after about 8 years of blizzard feeding me with shit and glitters every expansion. I leveled my character to level 47 or something like that and I was so lost in playing on other private servers to relive the experience that I kinda didn't play more than 1 year on both the TBC and the Vanilla servers of feenix. After lolten went down I returned to feenix, my old home and found that Emerald dream is now called warsong and is a tbc server. That's where I abandoned feenix and went to play other places. When people decide what is good for you without your consent you just have to take it and leave. Feenix was just as good as blizzard by forcing me to upgrade from vanilla to tbc.
As someone who spent a decent amount of time on Warsong and loved the Ali community to death, i am indeed sad to the see Feenix fade away into the abyss.Hope they make some sort of comeback,would love to play there again even with all of their flaws and dumb decisions they made. Anyways,could someone recommend me a vanilla wow private server which is similar to the Warsong(higher leveling rate and decent community)?
Feenix was a great time indeed, regardless of bugs on all its expansion variants. The Wotlk Realm of Shadows server could have lasted longer, if Devs fixed Yogg0 & Thorim HM, as well as releasing season 6 with Ulduar. After we had realm first Algalon 25, there was nothing for us to do but leave. We had an argument with the devs and even pasted logs, yet they declared it was fine.
Also about the server in total.It is true that they had some preety crappy staff concerning the reports about the players and mistakes about the accounts.I myself got banned just for raging on forums about the only viable totem that enhance could use pre Karazhan,and telling them they could easily fix it.They did return my old account after a year and after my public appology but still it was hard.Also the population was really high and PVE was really decent,lots of progressing guilds but still it was really really hard to get into a good one where you can actually progress fast and have a supportive player base.Also admins and GMs spent to much of their time debating about stupid things on the forums especially when there was a guy who recorded guilds progress about the first kills etc.Guilds acused each other for cheating and exploiting which result in admins had to check things aout and banning entire guilds after.All in all was a decent server and really had a good time there but still really had a crappy and lazzy stuff.
Such a pitty that is dead :(...it was a good server with awesome people! I've played 1+ year in egotrip and Ressurection Gaming on alliance side. Good memories, I had a blast! Rip
The thing feenix had going for them was that they were the only server offering vanilla and bc experience for a reaaally long time. Wasnt until nostalrius popped up they started declining.
I actually loved playing on Feenix Warsong and Archangel. They had loads of problems like faction imbalance, GDKP, crappy scripting (remember shade of aran?), bugs, etc... But they had a massive thriving population (I remember thousands of people online on Warsong and Archangel). They had a progressive realm, scripted AQ release, Atunements, and active battlegrounds. Their demise came from three things that I can think of: Competition from other private servers (Nostalrius especially), Server bloat (massive pools of wealth and highly geared players), and GDKP. I quit Warsong when I realized nothing in the game was social. You logged on, farmed while watching /world for an MC pug hosted by a tank in full T3, and then hoped you had enough cash to buy one of the drops, it was quite disgusting really. I tried The Rebirth in 2016, and it was actually my most engaging WoW experience since Retail. I got in with a guild (Victimized) and got to relive full attunement/full scripted Vanilla progression from ZG all the way through clearing BWL. I am rolling on Felmyst this week, and look forward to an awesome community.
Oh yes, Shade of Aran. Let's pull him out of the room, stand on the table and cheese the hell out of this encounter! GDKP was definitely a thing that put people off on the vanilla server, some items in Molten Core went for over 800g. The staff from Ossirian went for well over 1k gold multiple times when I did pugs on my moonkin and mage, it was very demotivating as new player. Good luck on Felmyst man and thanks for the comment!
sad to see them go, think most early private server heads got their start on either feenix or scriptcraft. Then again, it was probably time to lay down the mantle for good.
I got my level 60 character on Emerald Dream banned for mentioning Nostalrius in passing in /world chat about a month or so before Nostalrius released. The server had major issues with path finding for your pets. You could fear mobs into other mobs and it would not pull other mobs. The corruption on the server was the worst I had ever seen. If a admin felt like banning you, then they would. They were selling gear behind the scenes / curtains to people willing to pay. They even had a raging 15 year old admin that manage to get him self into a possition of power, some shitkid who where running rampant on the server doing everything he wanted. Banning players on a whim because he was in a bad mood or just really power hungry. One admin got kicked off the staff because he didn't go along with the corruption and toxicity, particulary he did not go along with the way this 15 year old kid was running the server and as a result, they kicked a admin for being a good guy. Feenix was and still is the epitome of private wow vanilla server corruption and toxicity, I doubt you will ever find a server this toxic even if you look. Its music to my ears hearing they have pulled the plug completely on their entire project.
Warmane (and whatever they used to be) was pretty bad, too. One of the devs hijacked the server, so they shut it down and MONTHS later Warmane finally emerged. I think almost a year after that, the original popped back up but there was almost nobody on it.
i can agree that the server wasnt good, but like 5 years ago it was "top notch", i mean it was as bad or even worse then, but it was still better than all the other servers
what are u talking about? who was both active as separate servers? there was no warmane until AT and molten merged, u cant say molten is what warmane used to be, there was no warmane when molten was around.
MOLTEN was first and they had some drama that took the servers down. Then Warmane arose from.the ashes, but restarted fresh. At least a month later, Molten came back, with a fresh restart for a short time.
Actually they didnt have three vanilla server, it was alkir and warsong12x then few years later came emerald dream which basically started the whole decline thing since its divided the population on warsong into half.
I wish people liked cata more, playing a cata server from 4.0 to 4.3 would be so badass, Thats when the game was updated but still had a little taste of oldschool in it.
Cata had the "old talent tree" system with a twist... After mop, they fucked it up bad... Trying to fix it In Legion... whaaaaa i really hope they are going back
People started dropping from Emerald Dream due to the fact that they refused to release AQ. Btw, I think you and I were in the same guild on ED at some point, Enigmatic?
Wow, didn't expect to find a mention of Enigmatic on a random video. In fact, Enigmatic is still here and is preparing for Classic wow launch! Send me a PM and I'll invite you to our discord.
Archangel already did loss almost all population once, because GM was a female (lol), but then admin is changed and Feenix arise from ashes. But new servers killed him totally, because they are have less issues and bugs. Bug-reports from Feenix lays under dust till years.
They made it on their old forums, but that's offline now so the link doesn't work anymore. I believe someone on reddit copy pasted their message basically saying they can't cover the costs anymore to keep the servers up and running
I know that it seems that they pulled the plug, but no one really knows for sure. Like you said you haven't been up to date with the server for some time, but I was playing on it til the day they said they were having the problem with their host. I was on archangel, in the last guild that was their, and we were still clear t6 content. And we still had some gms watching us, helping us if we found a bug. It's just that in a way, I don't see that post on their forums, saying that they had a problem with their host, as a post saying they are pulling the pug. Again they may have, and just don't want to make a posted about it. But as it stands, I don't think this is the end of feenix. I think they are up to something. Through the Ashes we rise.
I agree, what I mean with pulled the plug is that they took everything offline. That doesn't mean they called it quits forever and they wiped their database though, so who knows they might come back :)
I played there in Alakir insta 60 . I played there alone for a couple of months managed to get rank11 !! and i joined the most amazing and friendly guild was ever in even in retail . All Hail Legia Imperialis. Lyam,Percival,Immortalis, Febgr thank you for the amazing time
Eric F Well im sure Percival the r14 human warrior went kronos even before the shut down now the rest Lyam, febgr etc logicaly they are in kronos as well
oh shit thats some old clips you got there the warrior bulsar at 1:16 was my warrior from back when i was low geared :D i asume that clip would be from around 2013 maybe even before that :)
Had some great times on Archangel! Me (Ascura/Kujira) and my buddy (Zannah) from kicked it on there for years. Oh and the rogue who ganked me outside Shattrath my last week before quitting ill find you!!! haha.
Reupload dude to some mistakes on my end, sorry bout that!
warmane is good for WOTLK but lots of dumbass foreigners who can barely run a dungeon
also has good tbc servers
warmane is pay to win which makes it complete crap. kindly remove your head from your ass Charlie.
Warmane's Medivh and Lordaeron realms have no pay to win.
...yet!
First private server I ever played. Wouldn't have even known about them if it wasn't for feenix. Tried to check out their website a couple of weeks ago, really sad to see this. Rest in peace peenix.
Carl is the best and we love him
same here ill miss my lvl 60 rogue :(
I played on Kamical WAAAAAAAY back in the day (2008) but it was very cliche-ish and for only a $50 donation, you could have any legendary. Years later, I heard about Feenix from watching Cypis' gameplay on Emerald Dream. I was hooked. I spent a LOT of time on Feenix and loved it. RIP.
Started playing Feenix at launch, and kept playing for years. Had lots of great times on Warsong and ED :)
i played feenix servers b4 retail as my friend gave it to me on a flash drive so sad to see it gone D:
i had a blast playing on feenix. no regrets playing there
Me neither :)
same here, cleared almost all content on warsong and archangel, had so much fun.
Know any vanilla wow private server that is good?
6:45 Oh my. When my guild was doing Mother in BT the server went down. Nothing special about that as we were used to it. When the server came back we only had 24/25 people log in.

MY TREES DON'T WORK!
Actually worked a bit with this Carl guy a couple of years after Feenix xD
Miss you, feenix wow. Great times, my first wow and first private server, 12 years ago
Carl is the best and we love him
Athairne destroyed it because he`s utterly stupid and has no clue about life in general.
On a side note, feels good to see some footage from Warsong. Nice times there! Good community.
Played on many servers here, loved it, great community! Thank you Feenix and everyone I have met!
Played there on and off from 2011-2017, RIP Feenix you were brilliant.
Big shoutout to all members from feenix time. It was a big pleasure playing there. I remember peak online about 4k ppl
Special salute to Viribus Unitis, Forsaken, Tunnel vision guild members and many more. Jieke priest here :)
I miss those long premade wsgs :)))
Good vid; I agree With the fact that the do at least deserve some credit. You and possibly others got their start there and the gave the community somewhere to start.
Over 300 days played on Feenix servers and I don't regret even a second! Wiston the hunter, Wistown the Warlock! Wisston the warrior and many more characters with similar names. I quite enjoyed the path finding bugs, also there were some funky abuse tactics you could do with the mind control hat. Like raiding and entire city with a single guard. ahh good times.
We miss u emerald dream 1.0 rip
RIP - You have to be ready for it all to end when playing on a private server. I just wish blizz would make some legit legacy servers so we could come out of the fucking shadow.
thier is hope, StarCraft 1 remake is near release and Warcraft 3 is receiving updates
Christian Weibrecht Diablo 2 will be getting a remaster too!!
Classic WoW Blizzard Server announced November 2017 wish granted... details soon?

Feenix paved the way for better servers. Emerald dream will always have a special place in my heart.
I was there since 2011,warsong 12x,undead rogue Xonarb
private server teams never make good decisions.
for sure, even the biggest servers like elysium, old nost, warmane, all have made bad decisions
Lol neither can blizzard with new retail wow.
This is sad. A buddy and me started an active Ally guild a couple years ago and met a lot of cool people on Feenix. We had a blast. I still have lots of Skype and Vent contacts from that time. Sure LOS was buggy and other little things, but that was part of the charm. We all fist pounded the desk about the same stuff. Gonna miss it.
Shoutout to all of the Forsaken members from the Feenix Server. We had fun times!
Why the fuck did u not mention the vote/donate shop? Warsong was busting with dung grps than the vote shop came and World chat became like a dessert
I unfortunately wasn't even aware that this whole thing happened. Back when I was playing on Warsong I wasn't even aware that you could donate and get free gear (yes, I was that oblivious). It was only after a considerable time I figured out you could vote and donate for gear, and slowly but surely I saw the effect that it had on the server. Good point though!
Hear hear
Markus Holmstrøm, indeed. Donate shop and all gold runs is what drove me away from Feenix.
My gm was good friends with the feenix devs and he was rich and would buy items directly lol
Kinda a shame, since i played a while back in 2015, i can understand why they did this, it took alot of money and time for a 10-50 pop server that never really saw any progress, it was good from 2012-2015 but dropped in pop dramatically since then.

I tried to join feenix a few years ago but i could not get it to work because i was stupid.
Even by the very end, we never got chess event or netherspite fixed. So much great world pvp and always pugs for all tiers available.
they took the bulk of what remains of thier rediculous donation shop and ran.
Ztarlight - all, may we meet again!
Emerald Dream was my very first private server :( sad days.
I have footage of the guild I was in testing archimonde with the GMs, they ported us to the big gm skybox and spawned him in there. It was still very buggy and I have the TS audio and all, very nostalgic!
Played and devd back in 2010-2012, Forj. Good times back then great group of people both raiding and dev'ing.

Feenix was the very first Blizz-like server I remember having memories of playing on, I guess they just couldn't catch up with the other servers.
With Feenix and Felmyst forums both going offline, what is now the next best source for text-based info on TBC?
My first private server was feenix, I joined before Emerald Dream was released and I was so hyped to play vanilla after about 8 years of blizzard feeding me with shit and glitters every expansion. I leveled my character to level 47 or something like that and I was so lost in playing on other private servers to relive the experience that I kinda didn't play more than 1 year on both the TBC and the Vanilla servers of feenix.

Where are my elusive ladies at?
The HammyWheel curse, any one u play on dies out!
My first private server. But it was always dead and there where like 100ppl online. Dont understand how they survived. The serveres where dead?
As someone who spent a decent amount of time on Warsong and loved the Ali community to death, i am indeed sad to the see Feenix fade away into the abyss.Hope they make some sort of comeback,would love to play there again even with all of their flaws and dumb decisions they made.
Anyways,could someone recommend me a vanilla wow private server which is similar to the Warsong(higher leveling rate and decent community)?
Will you try out the new WoWFeenix server that will release in a week or so?
Feenix was a great time indeed, regardless of bugs on all its expansion variants. The Wotlk Realm of Shadows server could have lasted longer, if Devs fixed Yogg0 & Thorim HM, as well as releasing season 6 with Ulduar. After we had realm first Algalon 25, there was nothing for us to do but leave. We had an argument with the devs and even pasted logs, yet they declared it was fine.
Men merry women from love and brian
Rip my 7 years in it
Also about the server in total.It is true that they had some preety crappy staff concerning the reports about the players and mistakes about the accounts.I myself got banned just for raging on forums about the only viable totem that enhance could use pre Karazhan,and telling them they could easily fix it.They did return my old account after a year and after my public appology but still it was hard.Also the population was really high and PVE was really decent,lots of progressing guilds but still it was really really hard to get into a good one where you can actually progress fast and have a supportive player base.Also admins and GMs spent to much of their time debating about stupid things on the forums especially when there was a guy who recorded guilds progress about the first kills etc.Guilds acused each other for cheating and exploiting which result in admins had to check things aout and banning entire guilds after.All in all was a decent server and really had a good time there but still really had a crappy and lazzy stuff.
Such a pitty that is dead :(...it was a good server with awesome people! I've played 1+ year in egotrip and Ressurection Gaming on alliance side. Good memories, I had a blast! Rip
I too played in Egotrip and RG... Night elf Rogue what was your character name?
The thing feenix had going for them was that they were the only server offering vanilla and bc experience for a reaaally long time. Wasnt until nostalrius popped up they started declining.
it was 3k players on Archangel. I loved playing there great times
I actually loved playing on Feenix Warsong and Archangel.
They had loads of problems like faction imbalance, GDKP, crappy scripting (remember shade of aran?), bugs, etc...
But they had a massive thriving population (I remember thousands of people online on Warsong and Archangel). They had a progressive realm, scripted AQ release, Atunements, and active battlegrounds.
Their demise came from three things that I can think of: Competition from other private servers (Nostalrius especially), Server bloat (massive pools of wealth and highly geared players), and GDKP. I quit Warsong when I realized nothing in the game was social. You logged on, farmed while watching /world for an MC pug hosted by a tank in full T3, and then hoped you had enough cash to buy one of the drops, it was quite disgusting really.
I tried The Rebirth in 2016, and it was actually my most engaging WoW experience since Retail.

Oh yes, Shade of Aran. Let's pull him out of the room, stand on the table and cheese the hell out of this encounter!
GDKP was definitely a thing that put people off on the vanilla server, some items in Molten Core went for over 800g. The staff from Ossirian went for well over 1k gold multiple times when I did pugs on my moonkin and mage, it was very demotivating as new player.
Good luck on Felmyst man and thanks for the comment!
Staff from Ossirian for only 1k? Jeez you were lucky man xD most of the ones I've seen back when we made ADA and the horde alts were 5k minimum :P
Wow I guess I was lucky indeed! Tho 1400-1500g was a lot of money for me :)
Hordeside Im guessing? Inflation was much worse on Ally side, and we brought that to you guys when Drakon started the ADA
RIP
sad to see them go, think most early private server heads got their start on either feenix or scriptcraft. Then again, it was probably time to lay down the mantle for good.
This is what demotivates me to play private servers but yet I'm playing on Elysium wow. Seems stable as for now.
I got my level 60 character on Emerald Dream banned for mentioning Nostalrius in passing in /world chat about a month or so before Nostalrius released. The server had major issues with path finding for your pets. You could fear mobs into other mobs and it would not pull other mobs. The corruption on the server was the worst I had ever seen. If a admin felt like banning you, then they would. They were selling gear behind the scenes / curtains to people willing to pay. They even had a raging 15 year old admin that manage to get him self into a possition of power, some shitkid who where running rampant on the server doing everything he wanted. Banning players on a whim because he was in a bad mood or just really power hungry. One admin got kicked off the staff because he didn't go along with the corruption and toxicity, particulary he did not go along with the way this 15 year old kid was running the server and as a result, they kicked a admin for being a good guy.
Feenix was and still is the epitome of private wow vanilla server corruption and toxicity, I doubt you will ever find a server this toxic even if you look. Its music to my ears hearing they have pulled the plug completely on their entire project.
Warmane (and whatever they used to be) was pretty bad, too. One of the devs hijacked the server, so they shut it down and MONTHS later Warmane finally emerged. I think almost a year after that, the original popped back up but there was almost nobody on it.
i can agree that the server wasnt good, but like 5 years ago it was "top notch", i mean it was as bad or even worse then, but it was still better than all the other servers
I -JUST- remembered that MOLTEN is what Warmane used to be; merged now, but at one point they were both active as separate servers.
what are u talking about? who was both active as separate servers? there was no warmane until AT and molten merged, u cant say molten is what warmane used to be, there was no warmane when molten was around.
MOLTEN was first and they had some drama that took the servers down. Then Warmane arose from.the ashes, but restarted fresh. At least a month later, Molten came back, with a fresh restart for a short time.
I was on there since 2013 :( r.i.p Belfpally
Actually they didnt have three vanilla server, it was alkir and warsong12x then few years later came emerald dream which basically started the whole decline thing since its divided the population on warsong into half.
I wish people liked cata more, playing a cata server from 4.0 to 4.3 would be so badass, Thats when the game was updated but still had a little taste of oldschool in it.
Charlie Day I kinda liked cata 😂 But the fly mount thing fucked it All up tho
Charlie Day nah that was wotlk not cata, cata was a mess.
Cata was good up to a certain point
Cata had the "old talent tree" system with a twist... After mop, they fucked it up bad... Trying to fix it In Legion... whaaaaa i really hope they are going back
Pvp was fun in Cata. Good first tier of raids too.
I loved Feenix for vanilla. Had a 60 NE warrior there
People started dropping from Emerald Dream due to the fact that they refused to release AQ. Btw, I think you and I were in the same guild on ED at some point, Enigmatic?
Wow, didn't expect to find a mention of Enigmatic on a random video. In fact, Enigmatic is still here and is preparing for Classic wow launch! Send me a PM and I'll invite you to our discord.
Will you play Felmyst?
Archangel already did loss almost all population once, because GM was a female (lol), but then admin is changed and Feenix arise from ashes. But new servers killed him totally, because they are have less issues and bugs. Bug-reports from Feenix lays under dust till years.
Carl is the best and we love him o> /salute
I kept hearing the management was bad, but I never had any run-ins. Maybe I was lucky.
Did they make an official statement anywhere? If so, where?
They made it on their old forums, but that's offline now so the link doesn't work anymore. I believe someone on reddit copy pasted their message basically saying they can't cover the costs anymore to keep the servers up and running
Ahh thanks for the info
I know that it seems that they pulled the plug, but no one really knows for sure. Like you said you haven't been up to date with the server for some time, but I was playing on it til the day they said they were having the problem with their host. I was on archangel, in the last guild that was their, and we were still clear t6 content. And we still had some gms watching us, helping us if we found a bug. It's just that in a way, I don't see that post on their forums, saying that they had a problem with their host, as a post saying they are pulling the pug. Again they may have, and just don't want to make a posted about it. But as it stands, I don't think this is the end of feenix. I think they are up to something.
Through the Ashes we rise.
I agree, what I mean with pulled the plug is that they took everything offline. That doesn't mean they called it quits forever and they wiped their database though, so who knows they might come back :)
I played there in Alakir insta 60 . I played there alone for a couple of months managed to get rank11 !! and i joined the most amazing and friendly guild was ever in even in retail . All Hail Legia Imperialis. Lyam,Percival,Immortalis, Febgr thank you for the amazing time
Hells yeah! All good people, wish I knew where they went though. Amyran/agenda here, I play tbc now and it's just not the same as feenix was =/
Eric F Well im sure Percival the r14 human warrior went kronos even before the shut down now the rest Lyam, febgr etc logicaly they are in kronos as well
I honestly had the private server community sometimes. Lots of dislikes just because they don't like feenix and nothing wrong with the actual server.
Feenix Archangel R.I.P!
You forgot gold spammers though, sir.
oh shit thats some old clips you got there the warrior bulsar at 1:16 was my warrior from back when i was low geared :D i asume that clip would be from around 2013 maybe even before that :)
NOKTYNN WHERE RE YOU MY FRIEND
Luckily you are all able to play legally soon :)
Can you tell me some good vanilla servers pls?:)
Feenix project is back under another administration team.
Corrupted server, glad they had no "customers" left.
rip Brimstone lvl 70 shaman tier6, old core :)
Endboss is life, Endboss is love !
This is why private servers are thrash. You put your time and effort into it, then they just bring it down and there is nothing you can do.
Yeah i farmed a winterspring frostsaber on feenix >.>
En warsong 2.0 ging dood omdat T2.5 in de shop kwam voordat AQ uberhaupt ge-released was.
Archangel had 2500 op peak, nieuwe warsong had op een moment 2900 mensen online. Die was echt wel populated hoor.
nieuwe warsong 2900? Wow, dan heb ik zeker iets gemist en het verkeerd ingeschat. Excuses!
Die bevölkerung war sehr low, ein paar Wochen nach dem Release.
Ich hoffe dass ihr begreift was ich sage.
I think a video with Dutch narration and English subtitles would be an interesting idea.
Anyone remember the best druid on the 1.12 feenix server? R13 Daio from . I am him.
horde was corpse camping the whole server with high level players
About fucking time that it's down.
Wasnt perfect but i spend there some epic moments
Long story short natural selection.
I played on emerald dream! Rip feenix - Lopp
About time, Feenix was dead a loong time ago... It was great back in its day though.
Old nost killed it overnight RIP

All my tier3... corrupted ashbringer.. sulfaras gone..
Had some great times on Archangel! Me (Ascura/Kujira) and my buddy (Zannah) from kicked it on there for years. Oh and the rogue who ganked me outside Shattrath my last week before quitting ill find you!!! haha.
People should play Evil Island too.
archangel died , when new Gms banned us
It was fun but melee was broken.
Rip
-Stolie T6 Enh Sha.
I didnt know feenix had so many problems
99 problems but a Blizzard lawsuit ain't one
I had 6 accounts and maybe 12 level 70 on the BC server.
*Carl is the best and I love him
why not try a cata or mop pserver? i am sure there are many ( at least some ) ppl who enjoyed those 2 expansions.
Rip my T6 shaman :
