Now that the situation has improved it would be good if a moderator close the post in view of certain reactions which clearly have no idea what happened.

Situation of Lordaeron 2025

This server seems very dead , on alliance side at least. Only during prime time u 18 - 21 ST u can actually find a decent group to do anything and it takes ages to fill a raid. I would really like for the owners of warmane to somehow try to attract more people to Lordareon. It barely reaches 6k-7k people which is half of the population of icecrown during peak times.

The real problem is not the number of players but some very toxic new players who scare away old players. We must not forget that although we do not have the purchase of gear on Lordaeron many old players pay in the cosmetic which is a financial loss for the server although the competition with Icecrown is completely different. For raid we all now use the pugs discords which avoids the traps of the global channel for those who don't have a core. More players could be attracted to come play here with the implementation of an insta 80 payment as allowed by icecrown for 20 coins, however it must also be understood that here the pve content is buffed that most will not do more than 3 bosses in icc without seriousness so they will do other activities like pvp for example and potentially stupid stuff like camping the graveyard or killing AH npc for hours for revenge. Another solution could be to remove buffed content from normal mode or 10 mode while remaining optional although a merge with Icecrown unfortunately seems inevitable in the near future

Just make Lordaeron PvE. Problem solved.

Hello!
I just wanted to say that I'm new to the server and still leveling my first character. I'm playing Alliance, not for any particular reason—just because I like it.
Every time I run into a Horde player several levels above me, they kill me for no reason. I can't even tell what level they are—I just see a skull icon and some "??". They're just hanging out in places like Stranglethorn Vale or Tanaris, waiting to kill low-level Alliance players. It happens on both sides.
Have you ever seen any Alliance players complaining about this here?
So, with all the respect, care, and empathy in the world, I can only tell you to close your mouth, save your empty and xenophobic complaints, and just play.
As soon as I hit 80, I'm heading to all the low-level Horde zones and killing every single one of you.
Happy playing! ??

As you say, you are new here and you allow yourself to be disrespectful. This unfortunately reflects the mentality of the new young generation.

Well, cry all you want. I’ve been playing WoW on old servers since 2011. When I joined this server, I kept getting killed by the Horde while I was low level—over and over again. Now I’m a level 80 super paladin. I don’t camp the Horde, but if I’m traveling the world and see a Horde player, I kill them. That’s the game. You cry, but the Horde does the same thing repeatedly.
But reading what you said, I think your real problem is that, according to you, the people killing you are "Latinos." You don’t mention the Horde rogue players who camp low-level Alliance zones and don’t leave. I’ve spoken to many people who were killed at low levels in those areas by the same named players.
It’s not toxic—it’s just the game. I don’t support graveyard camping, but I know people in those guilds, and it’s not something the guilds encourage. Some players might do it, but that doesn’t mean the entire guild does. If you don’t want to fight players, go play on a PvE server. Complaints like yours are killing the server—people leave for other servers where everything is easy.
Stop being racist against Hispanic players, because that’s your real problem.

Let's be realistic when these players in question all have without exception Latin guild names under their nicknames, we play here for the lore and the love of the trilogy and not because our computers do not allow us to run retail. There has always been PVP but not at this level of toxicity. You say it's the game but we're probably not playing the same game. Come see orgrimmar spam kill AH npc and spam jajaja with macro/script so we can read it on the horde side. Please stop cry racism everytime someone don't agree with a latino guy its very boring and we know the song.

Well, now you're just being ignorant. People play on this server because it's free, and everyone has a computer capable of running retail—it’s not something only people in the USA can afford. Having Spanish names doesn’t automatically mean they’re Latin American, just like having English names doesn’t mean they’re from the USA. Stop crying about being killed. Protect Orgrimmar when it’s invaded and attack the Alliance when you can—that’s the game. If you care about the lore, then pay for the original game and support Blizzard

You make a lot of assumptions—about my ethnicity, my generation, that Latin players choose Wrath because they can't run retail, that camping behavior is somehow linked to Latin players, that Latin players don't care about the lore or love for the game, that Latin players are toxic, that every guild with a Spanish name must be Latin, that Spanish is only spoken in Latin America, and many more.
I’d suggest saving your assumptions and complaints until high-level Horde players with Saxon guild names stop camping flight masters and graveyards in low-level Alliance zones.
Until then, consider it even.

You seem to be very affected by the situation, do you have anything to reproach yourself for ? This post is here to find solutions for the server and not to cry racism or anything else. These players just have a bad reputation on all video games I have a Latino friend who himself recognizes that there are always dramas. No, players don't come here because it's free, they come because it's WOTLK and a lot pays in the shop, you guys are asleep. I don't think set Lordaeron PVE server will solve the situation but going through the AH NPCs and the impossible to attack Fly Masters would already be a good start. Onyxia will be moving to WOTLK in less than a year, to attract players the implementation of a system of time walkers or events like on Icecrown without touching the original "game play" could increase the population

two weeks ago i noticed that i cannont attack low level allys on elwyn forest
(i wouldnt do it, i was there for fishing ach)
The should be a way to make players that are 3 or 5 levels lower than you not enemies
I also was leveling in tanaris recently and my group was chased by a fresh level 80 for about 30 minutes until we disconect
Staff do something with toxic pvp

It's unfortunate that few people react to the forum, however the staff has done excellent in-game moderation in recent days but the bans were too short and these players came back and continue for example to block the dalaran AH and they renamed their players with a name similar to the npc to no longer use the /target command. The horde guild that everyone knows to its great misfortune continues the toxic actions. I guess we mostly use addons like Ignoremore or Autoignore to avoid them and have a clean global channel. Apart from all that Dalaran seems more crowded at peak times which is a good thing but for example redoing naxxramas 25 or ulduar 25 without raidhelper on discord has not been possible for a long time and people only focus on endgame content (TOC/ICC/RS)

I'm low level (21), I started 1 week ago I think. I'm not new to WoW. I played on the official from TBC to Cata.
I'm trying to level up and do the quests in Redridge Mountains without bothering anyone and it's impossible.
There are always two or three level 80 Horde killing everything in the village, inkeepers, flight masters, even children.
I can't even fish xD
The funny thing is that I'm always seeing that they ask for people to do dungeons and raids. How do you expect new players to be able to complete YOUR groups for dungeons and raids if you don't give the option to low levels to level up to complete your groups?
I like being a healer and I know how to play (first time using a hpala, now with my return I got curious) and at some point I would like to go back to ICC, farm my reputations and help everyone who needs it. I think this is going to be impossible for me (mostly because my patience has a limit) the only thing I can do is stay in Stormwind and wait for a random dungeon to come up.
I understand that it's a pvp server (and I admit that I'm not as good as you, with the same level I would still lose in 1vs1) but what's the point of a level 20 like me being continuously killed by level 80s? What fun is there in that?
Is it a self-esteem issue? Do you have small dicks? Are you get bored in the game?
When I was 80 and well equipped the last thing I thought about was spending the morning/afternoon in a low level area to kill a low level several times.
I understand what a pvp server means but what you're doing is teaching new players that what you have between your legs is bigger.
I accept the criticism but you also have to do self-criticism. Just yesterday I had to turn in a quest inside a building and I couldn't get out until another 80 alliance arrived. They killed me with an aoe (I think it was a priest). I revived and they stayed outside waiting. Is this tactics what you guys enjoy in pvp?
For me (and I'm sure for most people too), pvp is something completely different.

It is probably a mix of all three. In my prime times, I used to hunt low-level gankers such as the ones you described, but never attacked low level players. Much less NPC's. They give no honor, it is just stupidity. The desire to be an ***.Is it a self-esteem issue? Do you have small dicks? Are you get bored in the game?
Great. And that's why griefing is a never-ending story. People will try to get revenge instead of changing the way thing are.
