What is a funserver now a days?

[Ground Zero]

Most of the servers in tops use the same REPACK, i mean i enter the world and i see one Pande or Kael which ports you to mall and such. Where the Mall are just some NPC that updates your weapon if you bring some shit to them. Fun servers are long gone. For me funserver was more levels, quest, custom boss with scripts, not just few npcs with crap quest.

Servers in the top never use repacks, their own compiled cores, I think you're thinking about the two which are owned by the same people and their the same server.

If you deny the fact that, with very few exceptions, the whole Top 10 on XT100 uses votebots, it's still really like that.
2-4 servers in the top 20 are using exactly the same, by the way pretty bad, core.

Nowadays, there are not really good funservers left imo. During TBC I've seen a lot really cool ones and I enjoyed them, but meanwhile.. They're all the same.

Nice thread here, you really hit the point

[gauta]

I totally agree. I remember in BC days there were a lot of fun server.

[stoneharry]

So your all moaning that all funservers are shit and bla bla bla (I don't like them either but I have my own reasons)...

What is it you actually want in a funserver? Blizzlike with high rates, well that's very generalised. Do you want blizzlike content working, or stability, or are you looking for a high player base etc.

[Arthis456]

once again harry does have a good point that i have to agree with... I've seen alot of the same simple un-explained complaints about how the server or just the core sucks... not much about stability, working and balanced content, or much of anything... no to sound repetitive, but please be more specific as to what you don't like...

I can tell you exactly what a good funserver should have. I'm thinking pretty much wowscape funserver 2.4.3 style with adjustments. I'd pretty much like to see molten wow (semi blizzlike), but with more epics items/badges dropping from the bosses so people could gear faster. Maybe 35x rates aswell. And the real kicker would be some custom donation sets, gear that would give you like a maximum of 60k hp, yea it's OP but not impossible for a couple guys to kill you. On scape a lot of people just donated for weaps to give them a slight advantage. Those were my most fun times playing wow. I hope someone will make a server like this someday. I posted this suggestion on Molten-wow forums and they really didn't like it... I guess they don't want to make an ass load of money because you are pretty much guaranteed to with this setup.

I'm after custom, custom custom custom. But not silly 'funserver' custom, which I have come to associate the word with. I don't like servers with random 'custom' quests and items, I prefere the full on balanced custom epic content, which I have yet to see progress further than HeroicWoW did.

Im Gming on a server called SilarusWoW and currently we are in Aplha stage and have a balanced pvp system at level 300, our Dev is amazing and i bet it will top Heroic WoW, btw, its a Hyper Realm not a "Fun server".

Isn't a funserver where you simply have fun on the server?

Isn't a funserver where you simply have fun on the server?

So you would think, apparently

[Harambeqt]

Isn't a funserver where you simply have fun on the server?

I think he means "Custom Server" with events, custom items, npcs, cities etc etc


The best of all time was "WoW Legends" 2.4.x using Norwegian stuff : >
Even tho i found the arcane hunter bug and pwned everyone : > still an epic server.

The definition of funservers has changed drastically over the years; its being thrown around on a much more lower-quality basis nowadays.
As well, other than HeroicWoW and things like Stoneharry's Kronos Project or my MMOblivion project, servers that say they have 'custom' content are usually BS as well.
It's hard to find a really good server these days; most of the good ones are no where near the Xtremetop100; they're private in the sense that they stay away from the mainstream - and for good reason.

Funserver, in my opinion has two meanings:

1.Mostly a word used to draw attention of little kids that can steal parent's credit card and donate on private servers to get overpowered items and moan annoyingly with a lot of drama scene ruining the reason behind why some people worked on the cores known today, plus the private server ownersmake money from it.

2. Used again, to draw attention and setting up a PVP realm with "leveling roads" (badly designed I must add) that consist of using blizzard unused areas (will be purged in cataclysm probably) to create some funky (again badly designed) stuff and just a lot of children moaning.

In both cases, all the private servers are fun as long as you enjoy their content.

lulz isn´t very likely, having fun on a server nowadays, that is.
