Considering playing again - looking for a good private server (piefed.social)

Hope this is ok to post. If not I understand 😊

I have not played since shortly after death knights were introduced, so it’s been like.. 20 years? I miss it, and it left a hole in my social life that real humans don’t properly fill because they don’t play social-friendly games with me. I’m not interested in paying subscription fees to deal with shitty people, so coming back wasn’t an option until I learned it could be privately hosted.

Until life took me away, I was a guild leader, raid leader, and guild/raid main healer as a holy priest (I was BAMF!). I frequently took new recruits on runs through instances for gear, because an OP healz can hold the team. I can’t promise the same investment as back then, but I love learning mechanics and helping others improve, both of which say I’d probably be happy doing that again.

I don’t want to play on public servers, I’d like a more mature experience.

If anyone plays on a private server that would be interested in having me, where I don’t have to deal with blizzard at all, lmk :)

I'm sure you already know this, but on the off chance you don't: WoW "can be privately hosted" in the same way you "can watch any movie for free" if you know the right websites. Private servers are not permitted by Blizzard and they intermittently take action against them, especially the big ones. I think TurtleWoW was probably the most recent?

If you're fine with that risk though, I'm sure there are a few around here and there. WoW Forever also launches on November 4 if you're willing to reconsider the subscription for a more Classic-like experience that has old school vibes but with new content to explore.

    Oh. No, I mean I’m fine with it, but wasn’t aware they were pirate servers, I guess. Pirate software is just software being used in a way someone doesn’t like so.. eh.

    So this isn’t the comm for finding somewhere, then. Is there one 😜?

    I suspect Lemmy isn't going to have a specific community for it - too niche - but there are plenty of people on here who aren't against sailing the high seas every now and again, so someone may chime in with a thought.

    A quick google also turns up a few suggestions. I can't vouch for them because I just sub to retail with gold, but there doesn't appear to be a shortage of options available.

    Yeah i’ll leave it up on the off change, unless its against rules and gets taken down..

    I also saw a lot of those generic results and they feel kinda.. come join x for the bad vibes and nobody will say shit.. rather find an invite only through word of mouth, and I recognize that’s lol not happening these days. Womp womp.

    Thanks for talking to me though :) I appreciate you!
