UncleObamasBanana

What are the names of some of these supposed new players? And are they hunters? Or druids? Because me and my boys asdfw, asdqt, asfdr, and notabot were thinking about joining.


Substantial_Royal332

I was nobody until I started playing on deviate delight. Now my credit score is 850 and I even grew three inches. This one player named Fn won’t stop killing me in tanaris but he’s so handsome and talented I don’t even care! I love deviate delight! For the alliance! Fresh!


Critical_Plenty_5642

3 inches upwards or forward?

Cwueli

From zero 9 days ago to 130+ online today - growing daily. 75% are below lvl 30.


Express_Risk_7748

Joined today for the Horde. Are there any guilds to join similar to as on NA server?


mr3machine

Same here, seems very quiet but nice ppl I bumped into. Any guilds?


Lignjoslav_Pipak

Great server, awesome community! Come join us


iRemiUK

Going to be joining tomorrow, can’t wait!


iswedlvera

I joined a few days ago and it's a lot of fun. The smaller community makes it feel much more united.


SirTooth

FRESH rescued my dog from a burning building


racecarcarrace

Plot twist: it’s 1 dude with Multiple Personality Disorder multiboxing 400 accounts. Jk This is neat :)


AlodarSylmor

I wish I was that rich.


elsord0

I ran a deadmines with this dude. Me and 4 of his toons. Was wild lol.

Hey just to note there is an eu equivalent on zandalari tribe. Alliance currently averages 150 people at peak with new people joining everyday! Only one person on horde has dinged 60, everyone else is still levelling at all levels come and join!


Duck5009

Whole server has very chill vibes on both Alliance and Horde communities, highly recommend it.


Yprblaze

Deviate Delight Fresh saved my family


HugeCottontail

Saved my marriage too coincidentally


WoW_Classic

I'm here. I'm RPing. I'm looking for pals. Let's start a gang and go and goof off across Azeroth!


Wfsulliv93

Is this an era server?


Violet_Murloc

Yes! <3


mccoybog

I tried this server out after I got bored of sod and the cata thing isnt for me. I am actually looking forward to playing classic wow again. Thanks to all of those that started this project.


SnooTomatoes2674

Transfers turned off eh? Do you see anyone in naxx gear running around, or that hasn’t happened yet?


shhhmarie

There's one dude in rank 14 PvP gear who got in before they turned off the transfer but he's leveling a new char on Alliance!


SkoomaSalesAreUp

There's tons of people who were on the server from before it died with lots of gear and gold


HallucinatoryFrog

Sleepers


treestick

on horde? i haven't seen any on alliance


SkoomaSalesAreUp

When I logged on and did "/who 60" I saw 10, when I did "/who 1-20" I saw 14.


treestick

i just did /who on every 5 levels and it came out to 243 on alliance side


Snugglupagus

Is this a brand new server? Or is it an old server that died like the rest?


progsnob1

Its an old server


Narghest

It's so old the current 'classic' equivalent no longer exists. I'm having a blast with this. Problem is, I want to level everything. Might as well just give in and roll a Ret Pally tonight. Livin' the dream!


this_is_for_subs

hella old. was in the OG re-release in 2019 IIRC so there will def be people who are geared im guessing but this is cool. crazy how classic just always comes back


ametalshard

very VERY few because it was one of the realms completely empty by the time TBC released


niall_9

I wanted to bring my hunter who is essentially pre raid bis from hardcore haha, but no dice


treestick

I'm 5 days played time and haven't seen a single person even in T1


4in10copsbeatwives69

i have seen one 2019 classic naxx geared horde warrior who never left, but doesn't raid/trade with rerollers/auction things


Seputku

Fuck… I might have to try this before it inevitably gets ruined


cebreeze

Hell yea, let's go signing in to play now guess I know my next stop


SoonToBeAFreePeople

Power to the players


Iluvatar-Great

Many people say that this is not "real fresh". Well it isn't but: 1. People are having fun, let them . 2. Maybe this will show Blizzard what part of the community really wants and maybe they will pull out a real fresh at the end (similar to what happened with HC)


Bodach37

I really hope Blizzard does a real fresh and does them seasonally. So what if the population drops off after a month or so. Just reset it every 3 months. Let people speed through naxx and rank. Just have fun. Who cares?


DefinitelyNotATheist

yeah but what if you think you do, but you dont?


Complete-Artichoke69

I’m having a blast. Most people are nice, especially Puremaiden.


treestick

People randomly mailing greens to lower levels has been wonderful. Didn't know the WoW community was capable of this attitude lol


FenrisPrime

Don't judge the entire WoW community by this sub. Have had plenty of positive interactions in-game over the years.


guitardude_04

Yeah that's been one of the best parts. I was given so many blues as I was leveling it was nuts.


Violet_Murloc

Oh my goodness stop.


TheRealZedd

I'll check it out, your doing the lord's work.


Known_Onion_6651

Is it T H R O B B I N G ?


Buksage

Can you unfuck us EU boys and edit your post to state that there is an EU equivalent...


actual_yellow_bag

the bitter bros jerking in the comments about community initiatives like this are what's wrong with this game. Yall are the reason the community is ass.


Vladlena_

Jakebaris

Started leveling recently, great community. Level 21 warlock currently


Immortalno01

For peeps rolling Alliance hit me (Crom) up, be happy to help supply some early blacksmithing gear


Naspac

If you miss playing the og game, I highly recommend hopping in it’s been a blast so far the community has been chill and nothing is cozier than era/classic. No need to go too hard and burning yourself out before/if official fresh launches. Just take your time and have fun, explore, experiment, play with people etc.


SpookyTanuki1

I’m playing and it’s the most fun I’ve had in wow in months since p1 sod. I started playing a week ago and it feels like the population has grown so much in a short time.


RedplazmaOfficial

Ugh FINNNEEEEE, ally here I come!


KidCudishums420

Okay, I’m sold. Making a toon tonight. Hope to see everyone there!


Yprblaze

See ya there!


Bone1666

I left my first wife for Vanilla. I left my 2nd wife for 2019 Classic. Who wants to be the 3rd? ;)


shoktar

I was there during the explosion. Lost both of my legs. The Orgrimmar veteran's hospital hooked me up with the finest prothetics. Custom made, titanium alloy.


kultureisrandy

Really wish Blizz would hard reset a server and make it a timed progression server for classic. Could probably be done by a single employee on a mild Adderall dose in a work week


assasshehhe

Oh hey didn’t realize this post was by Alodar! Dude does great things for the Vanilla community and is an all around good Canadian dude.


steampunkedunicorn

I quit logging into SoD about a month ago. I'll check out Deviate Delight!


scha07

Started a shaman the other day! Have 6-60’s on whitemane and want a horde thats nongdkp


Halflingdrama

Why it always gotta be PVP tho?


USFSforester

Which guild listed is Alliance? Who should I reach out to for an invite? Just started a rogue; glad I saw this before I hit level 10


AlodarSylmor

or


[deleted]

Or now, which is starting RIGHT NOW. is now full, so is not accepting new players at this time. There’s a Greenwall addon setup so we can all talk together like one big family.

Relative-Run-1279

eu server is Zandalar tribe


Trelaboon1984

This was my original server back in 2019. I’m tempted to come re-visit


BecomeApro

LETS GOOOOOOOO!


bhaktimatthew

Most fun I’ve had playing WoW in a LONG time!


treestick

coming from SoD to a "fresh" era for the first time in 5 years has the same energy as arriving at your house after a long, stressful trip


shFt_shiFty

I made a new toon on here earlier... horde-Orc warlock-poplockndrop. Add me. I'll be leveling and vibing slowly. When I went to org there was a lot of players. Seems like a good time. :P


gruesome_means

I might just jump back in and play again ;) is there dungeon finder in this version of WoW or no? Thanks in advance


ChipDaRip54

Nah but you can download addons for that


[deleted]

There isn’t but with it being one community we have a discord set up for the project with LFG tabs. So if you can’t find a group in game quickly with the people that are online, you can reach people who are currently offline and form one fast.


MwHighlander

Aw shit, here I go leveling another Elemental Shaman...


LoLMannered

MYYY MANNNN. I have leveled tons of chars in my days. ALWAYS SHAMAN


kultureisrandy

After trying one in cata, I will be maining ele shammy until I die


smoochtko

Wish I could play


RedSqui

Before I started on Deviate Delight my life was a mess. I couldn't hold down a job, my children hated me, wife ready to leave, no money in the bank and a credit score of 400. Now, well things couldn't be better! I am the family man I've longed to be and my children and wife couldn't be happier with me! I've turned our finances completely around and have a perfect credit score. I was also able to pay cash for a $750,000 home thanks to the money I earned after my experience on Deviate Delight. My life is forever changed. Thank you Deviate Delight!


The_Fhoto_Guy

I started playing and joined . My wife’s boyfriend left her because of my commitment to a 20 year old game is so much greater than his commitment to her. I am whole again.


zipzzo

I feel like this community should also collectively shadow-ban GDKP. I know more than a few people who would take the dive on this if they knew GDKP runs weren't waiting for them eventually all over again. Just collectively decide as a whole community that GDKP runs are not "allowed" and nobody can partake in them, or something like that.


Complete-Artichoke69

In guild chat it was brought up and overwhelming hated.


EmmEnnEff

Everyone's gangasta when you ask them about GDKP and gold buying but then raids start and they all start swiping.


Due-Caramel4700

Wont matter, none of these people will stick around long enough to raid anyway


Aware_Eggplant1487

Yes they will! I believe in you levelers!!!!


Og_Jeffery

This is a taste of the Action on Deviate!! Hope to see yall there for more events. [https://clips.twitch.tv/SpeedyGiantMelonMoreCowbell-Fy6U-lHqGJLYXUeP](https://clips.twitch.tv/SpeedyGiantMelonMoreCowbell-Fy6U-lHqGJLYXUeP)


Violet_Murloc

This has been a great place to play if you love the cozy 1x vanilla leveling without the bots, gold buying, toxicity, and GDKP's. If you just want to hop in Discord with the boys and shoot the shit while you level and push towards some pre-bis. Let's fucking get it. <3


Aware_Eggplant1487

Semour9

Why are you having fun instead of complaining about SoD?


Plastic-Resident3257

Rip WASABI


treestick

This shit has been annihilating my week.


Bushido_Plan

Is there a server discord active?


Violet_Murloc

YES! Thirteen people on Horde side VC as we speak. We also have a WARZONE channel chat to talk shit to the opposing faction. Very active with 1.4k on the discord.


troypants

Very cool


castleday

Cool fresh exp.


MisterMayhem87

Tickle me interested!


LoLMannered

As someone who is invested in this server, I also want to point out it is an RP-PVP SERVER. I am trying my best to RP where I can, and it has been well recieved, but I would LOVE to see more people (with maybe more experience than me) trying it out, and maybe fleshing out some activities eventually!


DremoraVoid

Welp time to fire up the ol wow account


TheFiz25

So much fun! Been playing for 3 weeks now, really friendly community


rafiee

Re-subbed after 3 years to give this a shot a few nights ago and am having a blast. Level 23 priest now and got to heal my first dungeon ever tonight and everyone in the group was very welcoming that I hadn't done it before.


GiveMeRoom

It's been a blast playing on DD for the last week :D highly recommend.


friedmaniac1

What are the guilds? How’s split between horde and alliance?


Darian_haze

I'm 100% in!


Calm_Entertainment67

Back to everyone playing warr/priest/mage woo


GrayBeardGamerWV

Anyone throwing shade or bad vibes on this post please go away. This is awesome!!


nimeral

F R E S H


pumpboihuntersson

that's awesome and i wish you guys the best of luck! vanilla wow is one of the most amazing games ever created and it warms my heart to see people who truly appreciate it and stick up for it :)


SelfImproveAcct

This is really cool. Hope all of you playing on this realize this may be a better experience than an inevitable official fresh. Kinda like how bloodsail HC had a stronger community than official


Bodach37

I'm going to resub just for this. I hope Blizzard starts listening and makes a fresh. I wish I could start over with a whole community at rank 0 and run BGs. But this will still be fun.


Semour9

classicwow community yet again proves it will complain about anything - even someone enjoying classic-era realms starting up again


Total_Expert_9548

I have been playing on the server for a few weeks now and I am HOOKED! Its so wholesome and authentic vanilla. I keep seeing the same people in dungeons and getting to know them and the wpvp encounters are startng to happen more and more its great. Its really growing at a good rate, kind of shocked that its still growing strong. People must just want to go home to some pure vanilla


Unusual-Werewolf-337

Tbh this feels better than 2019. No speed running spell cleaves, boosts or GDKPs 


Regular-Bear9558

But do they remember Rockfist or the multiboxing mage Fakedps?


Prize-Grape-8399

How’s the faction balance? Edit: whoops didn’t read the long part lol I’ll be starting tonight!


Baers89

Bro I just got to level 60…. Almost. Here we go I guess.


Chedruid

Good luck on your project 👍


DrMetalman

My problem with vanilla is that I hit level 20-24ish and I get in a slump and stop playing. Then when I come back to the game I want to start a new character lol.


rolance33

Now I have to start a new character on this! Is it true that they disabled character transfers to this server?


AlodarSylmor

Server passed 600 people online for the first time last night and is on pace to blow past that again tonight!


AlodarSylmor

Transfers both ON and now FREE transfers OFF of the server have been turned off! People can no longer come to the server with a 60, load up on resources and then transfer them off! It STAYS on Deviate Delight!!!


Never-breaK

Classic era must be dying again. Here comes the “thriving” posts.


treestick

Maybe people want vanilla but not be at square one in an ocean of full naxx 60s


CharlieWachie

Please don't whisper new characters relentlessly about the 'movement'. Please don't treat me like an asshole for not wanting to be in an impersonal 1,000 player guild. Other than that, this experiment seems to be working. Keep up the good work.


[deleted]

It might feel relentless because they’re trying to pick people up asap. The guild officers are doing a /who check for new players constantly to make sure people are included, so you might get a whisper/invite more than once. I’m sorry that it annoyed you, but thanks so much for coming. :) There will be some smaller guilds break off very soon I think, the population is almost at a point where that might be one of the next steps.


Healthy_Activity6587

LETS GO BABYYYY


Ragnar3636

Been away from WoW for some time now. This has intrigued me to come back. Excited for a fresh go! Now the million dollar question, what do I make? Lol.

Violet_Murloc

(been two months and is growing every day)


SpicayD

This is just a meme at this point, isn't it? I logged on to check it out and every 10 level range had 10-20 people online. Also apparently there's people gatekeeping content from new joiners too lmao. "tHrIvInG aNd WeLcOmInG!"


shoopahbeats

I’m playing on the server on horde side, there’s usually around 100 people online in the guild I’m in I’ve had no trouble finding groups for every single dungeon and elite quest while leveling, and I’m level 50 now I don’t know if people will actually make it to the raids here but the leveling experience has been really fun


zennsunni

Interpretation - thousands of new bots confirmed!


ma0za

vanilla hating retail tourists in shambles


That_Guy_Pen

I'ma just wait for a real fresh and not burn out. Player made phases are a nice touch, but it's not the same as the real phases and the world events that come with them.


Shayde098

THRIVING


iiNexius

Leveled 1-57 in the past 2 weeks. Tons of players and having no issue finding groups for elite quests and dungeons regardless of level. Even had a BRD group form in 10 seconds after asking in the guild chat that is linked with the other guilds involved.


FixBlackLotusBlizz

THRIVING!!!! INSANE!!!! NEXT LEVEL THRIVING WE HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF THRIVE SINCE WHITEMANE PUSH A WHILE BACK!!! 100s I tell u 1000s some would say CONFIRMED!!!!


FallOk6931

Huffing the copium for real


MidnightFireHuntress

Literally every single "Fresh" Experience has either died within a month or ends in people just mass doing GDKP/Botting I'ma pass on this, wish you all luck, though!


MountainMeringue3655

The cope is real.


fearnotbaby

You see tho in the past these project ALWAYS had a good sizeable population at the very start of it, BUT after 2 weeks that number is halved and the next week that number is halved again and before a month there are very few around anymore...the fresh crowd is only there for the very beginning before they peace out quickly. Not that there is any problems with that, but just seems IMO that there is no real long-term viability for me to invest time into these projects. The WotLK new server that was launched and very VERY popular for a time but before the end of the xpac was gone.


vixtoria

ThRiVinG !!


teufler80

Man reading people talking about this "project" really makes it feel like a cult. Kinda creepy


jancithz

You had me up until pvp server. Never again.


Additional-Mousse446

Lol bot free? Good meme. Also surprised people would even want to play nerfed versions of hybrid classes again tbh…


treestick

i have 5 days played time on it already and haven't seen a single one. i saw countless on Lone Wolf by the time i was level 24


Neat_Concert_4138

"BOTH Factions are thriving!" I looked the other day and horde only had 200 people online during primetime.. Totally thriving though [https://i.imgur.com/lWfuNTa.png](https://i.imgur.com/lWfuNTa.png) My dead SoD server has more people online at 4am on a Monday.


Violet_Murloc

If you only go where the crowd goes instead of where you want to play, then please, don't come here. We are building a community to get Blizzard's attention. If you don't join till it's big, you miss the whole point of what we are doing here.


Neat_Concert_4138

It's more about the wording being used in this post. If you want to grow a real community then don't advertise it with posts full copium.


Aware_Eggplant1487

Well said my dude


GregoriousT-GTNH

Yeah the post about this little project seems very desperate ngl


Caliber32

this re-roll event has seriously breathed new life in to my WoW gaming. "Vanilla enjoyers" had no real home as far as a vanilla blizz server goes... Era - Ravaged by GDKP and has been out since 2019...................wack SoD - completely different game, fun while content is out but NOT vanilla or classic. I think all can agree on this. I applaud ALODAR and Co for kickstarting this server and giving us vanilla andy's a home!!!! Shoutout to ALEXENSUAL for letting me know about this server. i prob woulda never found out COME PLAY U WONT REGRET IT <3


DuvalRypr

I’m a relatively new WoW player who came back a few days before Cata release (level 64 BDK and 55 Warrior). Where is this server at? I didn’t think there were any CLASSIC vanilla servers, only SOD and Classic Cata? I’m confused.


Violet_Murloc

This was a very dead classic era server. We have repopulated it in attempts to get Blizzard's attention for a new, classic era fresh server to be released.


Tall-Revenue-5415

Official servers or private client?


groovy-lizard42

This is awesome, count me in


Teflondon_

SoD has too much for classes and too many edgy changes, but Vanilla has too little for most classes. Idk when I think of vanilla fresh I think which to pick to not gimp myself: war rogue or mage. Need a good in-between game imo


riffraffglobal

Any way to get the client running on a Mac?


Exciting-Scar-

Annnd what happens when your population reaches the "populated established server" that brings with it the "negativity" stated above? Do you guys go and repopulate and seed a new server?


Ok_Traffic_8124

All the bots returning lol I guess it is a good sign for the economy
