I am currently searching for a more slow paced woltk server and I also want to avoid the toxicity of the players in the Icecrown server. But I feel like I am a bit late the party for the Lordaeron server, knowing that Onyxia will go through WOLTK in a few month. I was wondering if this sentiment I have is true, and if players in Lordaeron are mostly waiting for Onyxia' WOLTK.
It is never late to join this server because even if you are last player to ever join this server then you will reach the same "endgame" as others at your own pace. That is because the server is permanently on the same patch without any progression content wise so you cant be late.
Toxicity is here too just make sure to never engage in global chat discussions or wpvp's as horde and you can mostly avoid it ... that is unless you get camped 24/7 as a low lvl and cant really do much there other than switching zones.
As far as i know this lordaeron server is the only one good scripted x1 long life realm to play on in wotlk expansion. (others from warmane are same quality and patches from tbc from onyxia are actually applied to old content in lordaeron too)
And no most lordaeron players dont wait for onyxia or other seasonal servers because we prefer to max out gear (that can take months or years) and do achievements or other stuff and stay where we are instead of getting transfered to icecrown x7 realm at the end... the very same realm you are trying to escape from.
Some people are just tired of restarting progress all the time most of these ppl are in lord server.
Play on the server that causes you the least stress or no stress at all.
Choose the one where you are least likely to find toxic players and who gives you the most pleasure, the most satisfaction.
No its not too late. Nobody here waits for Onyxia bruh, we just like the server that never changes to have endless time for minmaxing and achis and ****ing around ;D. What is your chars name?
I recently joined the Lordaeron server and I have to say it's a really well-maintained 1x. So far I haven't encountered any problems with toxic players, and attacks from the opposing faction are normal (PVP should also rightly have its place).
