    Exclamation Will TBC and Vanilla Private Servers Become More Populated than Real WOW?

    I think one of them already has like 1 million plus players. Really this just stands as a testament to how good TBC and Vanilla were, and how crappy all the later expansions were.

    I will let you search for yourself. It seems like I read that somewhere, but I may be wrong. Still the fact these realms even exist is a testament in itself.

    Or that you can get a lot of "players" (however those places count distinct, active players) on something that's free.

    This is a stupid thread, the obvious answer is no.

    I've recently tried the one that is known for "1 million players"...the server is dead. /who anywhere and no one is playing. It's definitely neat to go back in time and relive the past. I did it mainly because I missed Auberdine. However, I totally lost interest when there wasn't a mailbox outside my favorite auction house.

    Really?! Mailboxes were added later? It's this and other quality of life things, I can't live without (the dead server didn't help either). So I doubt I'll be putting much effort into a private server.

    1 million players playing on a TBC private server

    8.3 million playing on live realms

    yeah, it sounds like the private server is doing better.

    Because the "omg vanilla and tbc so good" thing has been beat to death so if you are looking for players that would be the quickest way to gain a good amount.

    They still exist and wrath and cata servers don't, so a sensible conclusion to draw from that is players like TBC and Vanilla better than latter expansion. Proof is in the pudding buddy. I cannot help if you do not want to open your eyes.

    There are. You just didn't look. Heck, I've occasionally used a pretty good Wrath one since week two of Cata! Nostalgia is great, and I like having my need for mindless Volley-spam sated, but the game has truly improved in tons of ways since then. Both the small QoL-things like mailboxes, and in bigger gameplay-related ways. Such as a Balance druid now actually interacting with the Eclipse-mechanic in a meaningful way instead of wrathwrathwrathPROCstarfirestarfirestarfirestarfirePROC. Note that in Wrath, those PROC's were random. Now we have a genuine resource

    I'll give you this, though: Those vanilla and TBC-servers are a testament, but not to what you claim. They are a testament to the fact that people dislike change, and the internet is an unbeatable tool when it comes to averting changes.

    Boom, logic'd!

    There are. Cata arena private realms are very popular.

    As for the OP, all of the "big" vanilla servers are pretty dead.

    The server that was known for having 1 million people died a long time ago.

    Here's a video. Take it for what it is worth, but it seems fairly well populated.



    Okay now your turn. Post some link or video showing these claimed Cata private server realms.
