Ironically, Warlords of Draenor, but with all the damage to Horde and Alliance and their allies undone - lorewise by chronomancy(in a way that doesn't bother the Bronze Dragonflight too much.

Think about how Draenor and Outland both exist and neither is destroyed. Basically taking a slice of space and putting it forward in time like that so that it comes back.). So, Southshore, Theramore, Camp Taurajo, Auberdine, Steamwheedle Port, and perhaps even Theramore and Quel'Danas (with the censent of the undead and blood/high elves) are all bought back to Classic or even before. Sylvanas committed atrocities so she's punished, as is Garrosh. Shadowlands is kept the place you run to your corpse through when you get yeeted by a boss.

Broken Isles, Kul Tiras, Zandalar, and Dragon Isles can be added - that said, they would obviously need to be redesigned to a degree, although that can just be ignored in favor of having the map changes.

And that brings me to my next point: The resources to make this already exist. Most of the maps I mentioned have been ported to Wrath of the Lich King. There are mods that add a restored Lordaeron to the Classic-era Emerald Dream test area. Literally would just require a modder to thread together classic areas with Cata areas like Uldum, Vash'jir, and perhaps a Cata orgrimmar and Azshara (as much as I care about night elves, I also don't want to kick the goblins out). That would be the part that requires designing. I'm using a mod that adds the space between Ironforge and Stormwind.

So basically I'm talking about Classic EK and Kalimdor with all the new expansion stuff. Cataclysm was the start of a trend with Wrath of good expansion>bad expansion>good expansion>etc. Warlords of Draenor, in my opinion, is the last step before it irreparably descended into something akin to North Korea in terms of hype and stockholm syndrome. Everyone acted like Legion was better than Wrath, and while world quests definitely make it more replayable than Wrath, we never really found out if it was actually better by the statistics(player numbers). And then of course the same line was played with Battle for Azeroth, which made Warlords of Draenor look almost as happy a time as Wrath itself. And then Sylvanaslands, which was Steve Danuser doing this to me without consequence, even when I was homeless(Saw the Siege of Domination end cutscene while freshly homeless on my phone):



So, no offense, but any positive opinion on Shadowlands is as valued by me as Mel Brooks would value an unironically-positive opinion of the Third Reich.

So, obviously I'm JUST A TAD biased lol, but in my opinion, Shadowlands and Battle for Azeroth managed to break the trend - in favor of Bad and Bad.

I will say that Dragonflight looks better than Shadowlands. I'm just not playing that as long as Steve Danuser hasn't gone the way of J Allen Brack, Alex Afrasiabi, and (hopefully) Bobby Kotich.

I always wanted to explore Kul Tiras and Zandalar with a flying mount. The Brennadam quest, on top of Teldrassil, caused me to boycott retail and never finish BfA pathfinder to do so. Those followed a trend that started with the bombing of children in Gaza in 2014, listening to an innocent child be burned to death, aka Shireen Baratheon in 2015, and continued with the culture war between feminazis and, well, nazis, in 2016, which my opposing both led to my being repeatedly banned and dogpiled on Twitter and other places, and then being targeted with harassment, stalking, and corruption in Guild Wars 2(a game I owe $5000 to Amazon in gem cards for from 2017, too, that kept me from working over the table during the post-COVID lockdown hiring wave) that led to me being permanently banned in 2017, which led to me going back to World of Warcraft in 2018, which led to the theme of "kill hope" being shoved down my throat as my own World of Warcraft waifu was depowered in-game constantly for Steve Danuser's, which led to, well, hopelessness, which led to me being more and more mentally unstable and irresponsible, which led to screaming and holes in walls and a lack of cleaning(not helped by abusive parents on both ends dumping all my belongings in my tiny efficiency turning me into a hoarder and not helped by the only laundromat in reasonable walking distance closing down and getting turned into a nail salon - considering what I had to deal with from feminists, you can imagine how I felt about that after being called privileged in all of this), which led to eviction in 2021 from my efficiency of nine years. Which led to what I mentioned, and then walking miles with a heavy backpack, crawling through an airport to escape what I thought would be a safe haven for the winter in Florida back to Pennsylvania, which led to me having a broken toe with necrosis in a cast that flies laid eggs in, which led to maggots in the mission, which was highly religious to an ANTITHEIST, which led to me wanting to leave quickly, which led to moving in with a highly religious Biden voter who was close friends with a Trump supporter that called me the antichrist for being an atheist libertarian, which led to me moving HERE, where I was misled by a convicted child rapist who claimed to have been framed by someone who was 16 and not 13 with no assault charge in a way that would have sounded believable in spite of the "i was framed" cliche excuse, which led to being dragged out into this boarding house's social circle, which led to melodrama that I was falsely accused of being responsible for, which led to a pseudo-defender of my claims giving me bad advice regarding a mattress he didn't want to throw out and bad advice regarding bed bugs, which led to me getting bed bugs and being one more infestation away from an eviction(and further homelessness), which the landlord expects me to pay to stave off. And I just tried to move and that fell through because the new place was owned by a Trump supporter who doesn't know the difference between taking two CBD pills in the morning and SMOKING WEED. And I was extorted $55 by the guy who introduced me to him, who I will undoubtedly see at the local charity dinner on Sunday assuming I'm not evicted when I wake up in the morning today. I fully expect to see a stray bed bug and be traumatized by it yet again when I go to bed tonight. And every night I wish I would wake up on a different planet. Regardless, I have to move somehow and that's kind of hard considering I'm compulsively, self-effacingly honest and this bed bug situation is a literal Mark of Cain especially for a white cis male fat virgin 34 year old with Asperger's Disorder(Yes its autism yes it was made by the nazis I've been aware since I got banned from the Arctium discord by a radfem who pounced on a joke I made to play victim at my expense and get me banned from yet another discord server when its her nazi politics that landed me with the diagnosis and my life in the first place thank you) stuck on welfare. A libertarian atheist. Everyone thinks I'm privileged or have chosen my pain and I'm an ugly fatass with next to no social skills or learned skills in general so of course its easy as fuck for anyone to click their empathy off and come down on me and rationalize it as me being delusionally insane, especially since all I can do in the face of this is, well, type like this and hope that someone does more than tell me to "just get a job" - as in ask government-colluding sycophants that I have no connections to help me get into for work. Yes, I'm aware that borrowing $5000 from Amazon for a video game was a mistake. I was hoping that I'd open a portal(I explained my views in another post - again, all I've got, and I think I've fucking learned the hard way about sinking money into them) and watch my GW2 character Nyx impale CIA-supporting Jeff Bezos on Twilight as I drop $5000 USD worth of Skyrim septims - so like 10 septims since they're clearly made of gold - on his smug, evil, megalomanic face. Instead I'm watching him fuck his girlfriend on the beach as I hope I have stable enough housing in the next 24 hours to have simulated sex with Nyx and her lovers in Conan Exiles on the beach. In a video game with me rubbing my hand on my dick being gaslit as a rapist due to intrusive thoughts from my OCD and how Conan Exiles' "follower" system works, even though I circumvented that with lore and with mods like Pippi's console and mercenary hire vendors like Zeina the Vixen. And I can't even play the current version of Conan Exiles I have to play a cracked copy of an older version even though I paid for it because of the game constantly doing stuff to not just my bases but those followers whom my own brain has been conditioned and influenced with drugs I was forced on as a kid from Ritalin to Lithium to gaslight me as a slaver and a rapist of those followers I wish I could have a heart attack in my sleep and wake up to see. All while these Epstein connected ACTUAL rapists and those who elect and otherwise support them smile and go "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" at me, and most of them are so protected by their echo chamber that they probably don't even know I exist - they just reap the benefits of their mindlessly-zealous fanatics that protected them, put me here, and told me I did it ALL to myself, and act like I'm responsible for everything from the election of Trump and Biden to 911 and the Holocaust even though I literally consider voting for government to be tantamount to choosing to be complicit in enslaving THE ENTIRE COUNTRY meaning I DON'T DO IT. Which means that because I refuse to partake in the cult, I am in none of my own, and am powerlessly preyed on by all of them as they project on me as the predator while I'm even preyed on by maggots and bed bugs. For reacting to the world like a Vulcan due to it already rationalizing itself as a victim of a terrorist and a mass shooter if I ever act like a Klingon to any of them, I am a fatty pile of meat for them to throw around like Theon as I'm the one who is treated like Ramsay Bolton for making the thought crime of thinking these babykillers deserve to be flayed and castrated as much as they think that I do. For holding on to my "cycle of hatred". And on top of all of this, I'm sleeping on the floor out of paranoia of those bed bugs, and I will be as long as I live here, because this place was infested before I moved in and that doesn't matter because I'll be forced to pay here or anywhere else I move to be free of other people's mistakes, which I am constantly forced to pay for and work for and suffer for as I'm told I lack personal responsibility in a country that throws that and "playing victim" around about as much as the insults "librauhll" and "NAZI", when in my opinion they are BOTH a bunch of liberal nazis who are so insanely and wantonly pernicious that they have made me wish that they would shove me in a zyclon-b shower already and get it over with. I already tried to give myself such a shower - with homemade mustard gas - back years ago when I still lived in that efficiency I mentioned that I was evicted from that led to me being a hopeless hypochondriac once I found a place instead of a hopeless slob. And now I'm even more of a hypochondriac since my previous hypochondria didn't matter and isn't remembered because I trusted other people and listened to them like they constantly tell me that I should do so fucking much. Every time I deviate from paranoia and borderline misanthropy I am psychologically tortured and people wonder why I am paranoid and talk like this. Gee.

One PTSD-inflicting easily-avoidable-if-more-people-I-met-weren't-pernicious-vindictive-douchebags tragedy after another is all life seems to be for me. So yea, my ideal private server would be one where I could enjoy all that World of Warcraft has to offer without being constantly kept in that tragedy by those who ironically wanted a SAFE SPACE from my "triggering" words. As if they and the other side haven't deliberately triggered the hell out of me and FAR worse since I was nine and before or anything lol...

Sorry for the long paragraph there. It kinda just all came out. I had a long day. Week. Month. Year. Life. Existence. Spiritually, I believe my life has shrank from being able to roam multiverses and save them from threats and explore EVERYTHING to being stuck in one galaxy to that galaxy being genocided by the faction that stuck me in that galaxy to being stuck in a mortal body due to trying to stop a bipartisan cabal of child sacrificing death cultists to having my housing situations for that body go from a trailer to a townhouse to an apartment back to a townhouse to an efficiency to renting cardboard for $2 a night to a room in a trailer court to a room in a bed bug infested illegally-run-via-a-legal-loophole boarding house. Everything is dedicated to making me feel as small as possible while those who act small in their behavior towards others are allowed to make themselves look so big at the expense of myself and others. Dornsinger, the GW2 CS agent that permanently banned me, really got his way when he said justice wasn't always possible on Reddit. On this planet, they always do.


If what I said has affected you, and you have the knowledge to do what I suggested with the server idea, then I encourage you to do it. Call it "Wowtopia" if you want - even though I consider utopia and dystopia to be synonymous for obvious reasons.

A World of Warcraft where there is no more division between the Horde and Alliance. Where past tragedies have now been undone with a spell that has existed in the players' inventory since level 10 - Resurrection. Resurrectioncore you could call it, too. World of Peacecraft. There are plenty of Legion, Scourge, and Scarlet Crusade to kill if you're after a good vent, after all.

That's what games are supposed to be. An escape from all this hate and bullshit. It makes no sense to add "realism" to an escape. I turned a survival game into an easy sandbox open world game for a reason. I get enough "difficulty" outside of my screen that I don't need it when I'm finally able to tear myself away from this undiagnosed schitzo undermedicated self-rationalizing self-awareness and empathy-devoid entitled victim-playing spoiled privileged narcissistic predatory psychopathic nazi liberal Mad Max warlord money grubbing big corporation/government loving/sucking fake batshit crazy misogynistic terroristic sexist racist homophobic transphobic prejudicial closeted hypocritical weak and pathetic special snowflake easily offended/triggered empty headed worthless chauvinistic self-absorbed cycle of hatred-spinning (insert whatever else it called me unless its positive) shithole of a planet to put my face in it.

tl;dr: Resurrect Teldrassil/Southshore 2024! Make Azeroth Whole Again! Have a good Night.

WOTLK. Strictly PvE that's a big grind for gear (ARPG style grind) with soloable content. After returning back I have *something* in the works exactly like this.
I know this thread is old, but I just saw your reply here, and I started modding because I want to do exactly what you are looking for in a server.
So my question is, what and how would this server work? Would players need to level to max to get in on the new stuff? If yes, what is the max level?

(When I hear ARPG, I think Diablo-like, with fewer abilities.)

Would you rework all classes to have fewer abilities but higher damage output to make it more ARPG-like?
Would you rework it all to be action combat (as much as you can, though), or would you keep the old combat but make more AoE abilities for all classes?

Would players need to party up for progression, and would there be other end-game-like activities besides dungeons and raids? If yes, what kind of content would this be?

How would you create the end-game progression? Is it still gear, or are there other ways to progress? If it's gear, would it be a gear with randomized stats on a drop?

I know this is a lot of questions, but I am genuinely curious.

Never heard of that server, what was so good about it?
Well, they had a Battleground Realm, the only of its kind back then. As I can remember, you spawned in Shattrath, which was the main Mall.

Main meeting point from the server, you could not go anywhere else. The main point of the server was pure pvp, no raids, no dungeons - just pvp. All you did was queue up in the available BG's. You leveled up with killing other players while gaining XP per kill, as well as obtaining Gold per kill.

You could then buy your gear with the obtained gold. Which was also crazy good, was the balance. You could only queue up with players that had the same level as you or max 1 level above you, same for enemies.

Overall it was a unique experience, which you don't see nowadays - Sadly, because it was just pure fun.

For someone who doesn't enjoy PvP anymore, it still sounds like an awesome server, how come it shutdown?

Also, curious about your last line " Sadly, because it was just pure fun".

What makes a server pure fun for you?

I know this is a lot of questions, but I am genuinely curious.
My server idea I did years ago was based on everything remaining the same, but include a fun item-like grind.
  • All Npcs, Bosses, Elites remain the same.
  • You could hire Mercenaries that you can gear out yourself to help you if you needed it or went full Solo. (Its own UI using Eluna AIO)
  • Items were heavily reworked using Mirror Image for Transmog.
    • Items had levels. You can level any item by killing mobs and gaining required Experience. Max level was 100 for items.
    • When an item leveled, so did its iLvl and it gained random stats, properties or even gem sockets based on its Rarity and your class.
    • For example, looting a common item can be leveled to Legendary Quality, but its stats would be awful because it was a common item prior. However, leveling an item from a Dungeon or Raid would give you potentially better stats due to its Quality and dependent on where you looted it from - meaning, better quality & rarity = better stats, properties, etc.
    • An Npc would allow you to remove properties, buy better ones for gold, upgrade for materials and gold, but it would be costly.
    • Raids could automatically be reset for a large amount of gold and the cost would increase overtime but reset daily.

Essentially the idea was to Solo minor stuff until you had decent enough gear to Solo raids and better dungeons. I had some fun with that server. I never really made it public and the source was ripped because I never saved it, lol.

That would be awesome!
Could be really fun to do a full-on custom server made by the Emudevs community :)

That is an insanely nice idea, to be honest; I would play the shit out of that!
I really enjoy that idea with items leveling up, only thing I really want to ask is, did you ever get the stage where you could level weapons up? If yes, how did you help them level up? I would love to hear more about that :)

Also, thank you for creating Eluna <3

Go away xD
I did start creating this again, as soon as I start I end up going "bleh" then stop. :ROFLMAO:
I'm too busy game dev'ing meow D:

Yeah, I did all gear types. Weapons, Armor, Trinkets, Rings, etc. Excluded the obvious items of course (food, potions, etc). I vividly remember how I wrote it all in since it was so long ago. I think I created a specific table for gear items and when player's equipped the gear it allowed them to start leveling by killing mobs.

Eluna was a team effort, lol. Early days it was so much fun trying to figure out how to create Eluna and I remember us being so happy when it worked. Can't take all the credit, especially now since Rochet2 and Foe keep it going for us. But, you're all welcome \o/
