    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 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.

      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.

I used to do DB work for both them and Eternal-WoW back in the day and they were raaaaking in the money.

    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.

    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.

    • @davidepannone6021
      @davidepannone6021 9 місяців тому

      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.

    As someone who has a 11 year old account and has played on and off for years I'd suggest to not play on toxicrown/donorcrown where you can even gear up just with vote points, no need to pay, buy things. If you want the real WOTLK experience with players who behave like actual people and form communities, guilds that are several years old and still alive and running, roll on Lordaeron. The difference is night and day, I'm not exaggerating. I had no idea I can play wotlk this much stress free and enjoy it until I switched realms. Funny thing is the actual PVE, PVP elitist, tryhard jerks who don't even say "Hello" in RDF like in retail, let alone have conversations, are on Icecrown. Lord has the people that actually also enjoy leveling, considering it's supposed to be the "tryhard" realm with it's rates.

    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

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.

    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.
    But beware, it's a close tight community, don't expect people to roll over. They will only help the ones they can trust.
