Free World of Warcraft Servers


There are quite a number of free World of Warcraft Servers out there. Here is a list of the top 100 servers:

And each server can support thousands apparently.

Colin just installed a World of Warcraft server.

Colin H says:
i think the system is built to go to level 255

Level 255! And the new expansion is going to allow up to level 70! Well done Blizzard. In other words, Blizzard can continue milking another 185 levels! Whoa! Great business model.

He spoke of his experiences:

Colin H says:
it felt like a teenage e-peen. giving yourself items and xp and stuff

Colin H says:
the main problems i faced were -- client version number requirements, and the difficulty in obtaining that specific client version number. many of the required resources are available for download only on rapidshare.de (the worst fucking fucked up file sharing host on the planet).

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
You gave yourself stuff? Items? Sets?

Colin H says:
yea

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Second tier Epics? Full?

Colin H says:
things i tried - giving xp, changing levels, giving items (yes, t2 sets), teleportation

Colin H says:
but that was on 1.2.1 version of wow. the t2 sets only had placeholder graphics.

Colin also mentioned a few other sites and forums:

The servers can run on both Linux and Windows.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
What server admin commands are available? Are you able to appear as a god?

Colin H says:
practically all of them

Colin H says:
some nut posted a screenshot of him riding a water elemental

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Hilarious!

I grew out of World of Warcraft a year or so ago. It's just so yesterday. I doubt if I will be getting the Burning Crusade expansion and getting back in the game.

Yours is called the World of Earth, where the god chuang is the 'sysop' of the world!

Certainly not Your Highness! It's You who controls the World and the Universe from your Celestial Palace in the Royal City of Liverpool or Lohpool!

Private free servers eh?
Nope, still not tempting enough.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Well, I thought the game is fun while it lasted. It quickly got really tired for me.

By the fourth month, I got tired of quests and minor raiding, then, I was doing PvP. Then, I stopped completely. It got really tired.

Have you tried it yet?
