Believe it or not, people can not afford to play WoW. There is such a thing called a 3rd world country.
I used to run a Vietnamese blizzlike private server and it was a huge success, and that was because the people there could not afford to play retail.
It's not racist - it's a fact of life, and you do get a lot of people who are in poverty/very poor in America and Europe.
Hell, people on low pay can't even afford it often. What about people who are disabled? etc.
On a side note, any more people who just post a server and say play it, I will count as advertising and delete with a infraction.
