Weird question to ask, I know.
I played in Vanilla/BC/Wrath and did rather high end content for BC/Wrath, and am wanting to experience it again.
My worry is that this server is going to be full of well, bad players.
This is not a slight against the community or anything, I'm just genuinely curious if "good" (people from top 100, well, even 500, world guilds) are able to "fit in" here.
Man, this is a private server, ofc. it's full of bad players, don't expect to see guilds like Paragon or Method on Lord :P
But it doesn't mean that you won't be able to find a good guild that can clear all the content up to Halion HC - there will be a few of them for sure, farming heroics on weekly basics.
Right now it's unclrea who is actually cappable of doing more than just nerfed content.
In every 100 bad players there is a good one.
Taking 100:1, we have 8000:800.
800 good players is good enough imo.
wrong math lolz
100:1 = 80 good players
Are you trying to scare him off ?Quote:

There are probably more bad players on retail then here.
50:1 is a good estimation (can only talk for Alliance) - i saw a lot of Alliance players who let you die against Hordes or NPCs, or dont let them join your groups for killing NPCs and bosses (now imagine when you tag the boss first like i did several times), toons of beggars and trashtalkers at global/chat
But this is not propaganda against the community (@ some mods) this is the truth - i dont know why you always say the community is one of the nicest since Molten
That reminded me; I was camping Cho'war, there were two parties, so only one could get the head. Put pet on agressive, once the elite spawned it was an instant-tag. Guy from the other group proceeds to nerd rage "**** your mentality and hope you die, **** you *****, **** you kid" (ignored). So I laugh it off and start running away only to find out my inventory was full and I didn't pick the head. Corpse was gone of course, so I return for another camp and guy invites me and acts like nothing happened, all nice and stuff.Quote:

Well said. You get bad and good players on retail and private servers.Quote:

No **** sherlock, by that I mean 3.0.9 gear which actually will give some resi which will matter unlike the 300 you can get now with the brutal set.Quote:

Private servers are no exception to that. If anything, some of the people here might be better than what you had on retail, since retail moved on through content and expansions, while here people are stuck in time and able to hone their skills more and more.
