A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I setup a private WOW server at home and am enjoying a druid playthrough.

Nice, I'm playing retail pre-patch for Midnight 😅

I miss WoW, but a private server is the only way I would play again.

Yeah. I didn't realize how easy it would be to set up and configure. The hardest part was find the client and then figuring out what file in the client to edit to point to my server.

Of course I'm an IT guy irl, so setting up servers and such is my day-to-day so that helped.

could you also send me a DM how you set that up? since you said you are in IT i feel comfortable enough to dare ask if there is any chance to run one on a linux system?

Would you be able to DM me a link to whatever guide or resources you used to get that up and running?

I’d be keen for a similar single-player experience through MOP or Legion.
