Dear fellow citizens of Azeroth!
An empire of turtles has risen in a new world, a world that came to be only half a season ago.
But what do I really mean when I speak of turtles? How does this have anything to do with World of Warcraft you may ask.
The Turtles I'm speaking of are the brave new adventures of Turtle-WoW. A fresh world with a dozen unexplored lands and dungeons for the new turtle adventurer to venture through!
The Empire of Turtles are calling upon new heroes who desire a world where you can become the character that you've always dreamed of, the only one of that character in the entire world.
It has been many months now since the first turtles walked the planes of Azeroth for the first time. Some turtles are still on their journey adventuring through the mountains, jungles and deserts to reach that sweet level 60. Still unaware of the dangers threatening the very safety of Azeroth.
Fortunately there are brave lvl 60 turtles that are working hard on the major threats.
A guild of turtles has already vanquished the General Drakkisath, ruling the dark forces of the blackrock spire as he was the most recent threat to deal with. Rumors say that an ancient evil are lurking deep down in the Blackrock Mountain in the area known as The Molten Core and has yet to be discovered.
[Unique Features of the server]
Sands of Time, a project of bringing back old or discarded skills and mechanics from the early days of the game which means that these skills/mechanics are not custom. This project will continue on bringing back skills and mechanics.
Disguise:
Starting at level 2, all rogues will be able to talk to their trainers located in the starter zones to get a quest that will lead them to learn the skill of Disguise.

Khadgar's Unlocking:
Mages used to be able to learn a spell created by the powerful Khadgar, called Khadgar's Unlocking: they were able to manipulate locks using some special keys and their magical powers.
This skill has been made available for all mages now.

Dishonorable Ranks:
For killing low level players or civilians, players will be ranked negatively (this is only visual, apart from the fact that you'll need to earn a lot of honor again if you want to recover). The following dishonorable ranks has been added:
Dishonored
Exiled
Outlaw
Pariah
Bloody Tournament:
Here's your chance to smash the faces of any opponents you choose: friends, allies, enemies, even your party's healer.
You'll find Arena Ambassadors in any major city. Join the fray, get cool rewards for murdering friends and enemies in the Battle Ring or better known as The Gurubashi Arena, where you will experience a bonus x5 honor gaining!
There, you will earn [Bloody Coins] for slaying your opponents. You can exchange them for buffs talking to Trixy Gollavix or item rewards taken directly from Zul’Gurub if you give them to Dyah Owon, the item rewarder. You will find them at the entrance of the arena. As an incentive for all players, Dyah Owon will offer repeatable quests to earn some experience from level 1 to 60, as well as the option to exchange [Bloody Coins] for Horde or Alliance Commendation Signets, which you can use to increase the reputation of any major city of your choice.

Progressive rates(not part of the Sands of Time project)
Turtle WoW has a developed a system to regulate the levelling experience for the players.
Creature kill XP rates has been set to the following in these levels:
01-10 — x0.7
11-20 — x0.8
21-35 — x0.8
36-45 — x0.9
46-50 — x0.8
51-55 — x0.8
56-60 — x0.7
Exploration: x0.5
While these changes may initially appear like a concept of slowing down the players levelling, they actually don't.
You will recieve the normal amount of XP from Quests, and as an equal compensation of the lowered creature XP, you will be able to recieve 100% XP from Quests that are up to 25 levels below you. This feature allows to players to level up with the same speed as it would with 1x XP rates but with reduced grinding since the player can do much more quests and still yield a great amount of experience points.
The XP-scalings are measured accordingly to the amount of quests available for the player during these levels.
[TLDR]
