Would you play F2P on a Cataclysm private server?

[Medan]

Perhaps someone wil make one if enough people say "yes"

Edit: I am NOT that "someone", but hopefully someone is

 

[arcade99]

I hope some one does!

 

[lokah]

I'm 100% sure I would roll on the server if they just toned down hunter damage a bit. Would love to play affliction locks again

If you are willing to do this I'd love to.. Tone down hunt dmg by 25% and mess with pallies some as every class was pretty OP in cata.

If it was cata again and there was a group of 25 or 50 people I KNEW that played I would play it in a second

 

[Groenboompje]

Everything for low level twinking after wotlk is crap cause blizz had wrong ideas about low level pvp, i wouldnt play it at all.

 

[Goesid]

Cata is overrated.

 

[Kibbies]

Hmm well here's the thing, I do miss how certain classes played and all in cata compared to now but there's a few flaws with this idea.

If its a private serv, it could be 85 cap for free
No meeting newbies
No wpvp

I could deff see this working if say, 25-30+ all got in this serv and scheduled specific days to play games so there's pops.

 

[Oneshot20]

i would play it, hope its cap at 85.

 

[Twinkenstein]

throw in arena ques and yep

 

[Brov]

I'm looking for a hamcake/lightofchaos-esque server. Needed nerfs to hunters and other classes would be nice as well.

 

[Sundusk]

Like people have mentioned, tone down hunter damage and some pally abilities and that sounds pretty fun.

 

[CripzBlood]

I think ppl miss more f2p community of cata then the pvp itself.

 

[LennywBT]

I will never play on a private server . No WPvP. I Enjoy the rreal wow , and if the next patch is going to be like omfg i cant play i will still try.

 

[Brov]

Cripz is 100% right, but I have high hopes that those people that made the community great will take a chance with this private server as well. Take medanx for example

 

[Fael]

This would be awesome!

At first private servers sound great! Free, you can play 90, do all you want.
exp
Then you realize that there are many bugs. Also, GM's tend to run them like banana republic dictators. Last, they are dependent on server costs and the more people play, the more expensive. Also, good servers are very expensive. I've lvled all the way to 90 on a private server, trust me you don't want to play private server it's not a good experience long-term.

I'd be on the border with this one mainly for the behind-the-scenes issues.

I've been on private servers since TBC and have become very popular in the twink private server area and almost EVERY server I've encountered has had terrible staff.

Whether they are corrupt (greedy/dictator) or retarded (can't run a server) some how the staff always makes the server fall apart.

You'll have to change a few items such as the Argas rings to unique and that will require a patch compared to 3.3.5 which you can edit easily without issues.

Between the patching and overall difficulty of modifying Cataclysm to the staff and community I don't see this going well.
