So you're going to be playing on a crap private server then, thats the only way to play for free. :roll: Why would it be crap? It has all the same stuff right? Private servers are pretty much illegal, privatly owned servers of WoW. They support something (maybe) like a hundred people, and don't have everything working. The main thing is that they are equal to piracy and just really, really suck. You won't get a good game experience with it, trust me. I've played private servers in depth, and while they do provide free play, most of the instances aren't scripted (hands up if you've killed Illidan? I have.. he's a tank 'n' spank on Ascent emulator), and the bigger ones have reasonably good communities, there are plenty of drawbacks. They are filled with bugs, no matter how much the emu community works on the core. As such, being filled with bugs means they are filled with bug abusers. You will almost never have a fair fight in world PvP. Not only that, being run by what are essentially amateurs, means anything can happen. The one I was playing on right before I reactivated my account, one of the admins had a fight with the owner, so he went nuts and rehashed the server, giving everyone the power to .GM themselves (make themself a GM), then published every account and password on the website. It was chaos. Dinged 42 and mostly finished with the new quests in Dustwallow marsh, although I skipped some that were green. I'm not gonna get much play done in the next 48 hours though.
