As Kaer has pointed out in another thread, there are currently no plans for RDF.
I think adding in RDF would actually be beneficial for the health of the server. Hear me out.
Many people that play private servers, specifically LK, play them because they are more fun, usually associated with being a little easier, or more forgiving.
I think not adding in a form of RDF would actually hurt long term health of server. Once most of the LK content is actually out, the lack of RDF will certainly turn players away from the server, but I don't think adding in RDF as it was in live is the proper option either.
Here's the comprise to help satisfy both parties.
1. Require a full 5 man group BEFORE you can queue for RDF. You cannot solo queue, and must have a tank, healer, and 3 dps roles in your party. The rest procedes as normal. (I think this is the preferred option)
OR
2. RDF works as it currently does in live, with the one exception that RDF DOES NOT teleport you to the dungeon. It will simply make the group for you.
I'm not completely opposed to not adding in RDF, but I seriously think it hurts the longevity of the server, and with how quickly bugs are being fixed, and how stable the server is, I really would love to see this server succeed long term.
I don't know how to add a poll, but if an admin could make a poll with option 1 being No RDF, option 2 would be the first option I list, and option 3 would be the second option I listed, while option 4 would be RDF in it's normal form.
Hope you guys enjoy!

Regarding RDF.

To sumarise the other thread about RDF, I will paste here three suggestions. Maybe the staff sees them and finds one of them usefull:
1. Enable RDF to find a group but not teleport people to the dungeon.
2. Promote a separate LFG channel, to free global from spam.
3. Leave RDF disabled by default, but make an option on the website to enable it for your account. This way it will only be used by those few who really want it.

I personally prefer the option list as option 2; Require a full 5 man group before you can queue for RDF.

See, it's hard to even please people who want RDF. It's impossible to please everybody. I don't mind running to the dungeon. But I hate having to spam global to find a group. So I would prefer the RDF finds a group for me and then we can all run. :)

I'm still fine with that option, just stating my preference.
I'd prefer any form of RDF in the game. I just want something for that purpose to help players.

I think you have it a little twisted. I'm pretty positive they are going to release RDF with Wotlk. If you played Vanilla or TBC you would know that the RDF mechanism wasn't added until WOTLK. It's disabled now to encourage us to travel to low level dungeons and group, quest, socialize, ect. And give us that nostalgic feeling. Technically Molten wants us to feel like were in Vanilla and then TBC, RDF wasn't apart of those Xpacs, its essential however to Wotlk.

I will still hope that rdf will be enabled the next few days , if not **** happens im fine with deathwing anyway :D

RDF its disable for a reason. If we are allowed to live again the old content via wotlk machine, as long as we play vanila and tbc maps then rdf should stay disable. You are to lazy to go to the dungeon? No problem, there are summoning stones. Send some1 to summon you. You dont want to waste that much time? Then Lordaeron its not up for you.
I would agree for rdf to be enable (even then i wont mind if it wont be enable) 2-4 weeks after northend is going to be released.
But ofc this is my opinion only.

if u want to relive your memories about the old wow times its cool, but u cant say to every1 deal with it and at the same time the same people who dislike rdf are complaining about multiboxer . and i bet back in tbc times u found also multiboxers
if multiboxing gets a pool why dont get the whole rdf thing a pool?
just my opinion ofc

cause the removal of rdf was something the staff wanted to do, aka not something up for discussion. the removal of multiboxing was something they wanted community imput on, thus the poll.

The removal of RDF is there with good reason. To promote the interaction between players and disable the useless players who just semi-afk in RDF and spam 1 button to run their daily.
Also, even noticed how ****ing empty the world is on servers with RDF enabled? The world is a ghosttown. There are only people sitting on their *** in Orgrimmar or Stormwind.
RDF is dead on Lordaeron and should stay ****ing dead.

DF is disabled so players can socialise and interact more?
I did around 10 runs and in most of them the only words you could see were "go in","hi","bye","rdy?". So explain me why you can't interact with enabled dungeon finder? You will still have to grind quests,search for people to kill elites and do same or difficult quests.
World PvP is "alive" atm only because there are 6k players inside 10 or so zones. Once they open outland and northrend,it will be dead again,not because of enabled DF, but because of blizzard who created so much content and added flying mounts,so it became impossible to fill all that space and make it alive.
Dungeon finder is part of the game in WotLK, and I can't see any real argument why it should be closed, except maybe that it can't be properly scripted and it would cause massive delay or pressure on server,so they would need to reduce number of online players...
If you want to make true vanilla experience, then remove or change almost everything in the game(talents,spells,mechanics,mobs,cities,etc..) because it has nothing to do with vanilla,but with WotLK.
Don't force majority of people to waste time because minority wants to do something new or has too much time to spend on this game.
With enabled DF,this server would be most blizzlike server out here,with a lot of players, and thats why everyone came here in the first place.
Simply make a poll and see for yourself.
