Comments on: Are older servers just different?

I used to play on a server that was about 1 year old in BC. I had a couple of level 70s and was constantly amazed at how difficult running instances and forming groups was.

I would politely whisper people of appropriate levels to see if they’d be interested in a run, and they wouldn’t ever respond unlike my current day-1 RP server. Once, someone even cussed me out at the audacity for offering him a spot in a run with a tank&healer and then put me on ignore O_o I left that place like a bad relationship.

Suffice it to say, I’m never leaving my day-1 server.

I moved to my server a couple of years ago, and it was one of the first RP servers here in the US. It felt like a lot of people knew each other, and I was just a bystander.

But you’re right, it’s definitely easy to get PuG groups together. I actually raid with a group that’s made of people from all different guilds, and we pretty reliably clear all of Naxx in an afternoon, even getting achievements on occasion. When I tell people who play on different servers that, they’re amazed that I can do such a thing without a guild.

Yeah, I have noticed the same thing on my server (Scarlet Crusade, another RP server). My sister recently transfered here from a PvP server where Alliance was out numbered about 7-1. She talked about how hard it was to run anything and that she basically got stuck running battlegrounds all the time.

If you are paying below five gold for a stack of copper, your server is not mature.

Ah yes. Nothing quite like inflation.
