WoW Private Servers

This will show you how to play World of Warcraft without paying!!! There are servers that instantly give you level 80, free items, etc. There are also just regular servers if you want to play for real. Note: you may need to pay for the actual game, but not the monthly fee Blizzard charges. (But there might be free downloads of the game out there.)

wont you get banned for playing on private servers

Mar 13, 2010. 7:32 PMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

No, Blizz has no rules against it, and even if; they would have no clue if you did. They have no control over the private servers being run.

o cool what is the advantage of private servers

Mar 13, 2010. 8:44 PMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

The advantage?! You don't have to pay for anything!

Mar 14, 2010. 10:27 AMboblordofmonkeys says:

it says in the tos that they are illegal

ps blizzard has won court cases against the creators of servers

Mar 15, 2010. 6:57 AMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

Yeah, well that is very rare, and the users never got accused of anything. Only the people who created the server. P.S. This is a very rare occurance and has only occured with HUGE private servers. The servers change so rapdily, blizz does not have a chance to try to shut any certain one down.

ok thanks does this only work for wow or can i use bc and lk

Mar 22, 2010. 4:34 PMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

You can use any version of WoW. There are private servers for every version. :] Just specify which version you want to play when searching for the server.

Mar 22, 2010. 5:38 PMboblordofmonkeys says:

Mar 23, 2010. 6:29 AMboblordofmonkeys says:

Mar 23, 2010. 7:27 AMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

Yes you can!

Mar 23, 2010. 3:56 PMboblordofmonkeys says:

can i get caught for using illegal ones

Mar 24, 2010. 7:13 AMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

No; you personally can't get caught for using one. If you try to run your own you could. But no, you won't get in trouble.

Mar 24, 2010. 3:48 PMboblordofmonkeys says:

what do you mean run your own

Mar 25, 2010. 6:52 AMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

If you have a server or host; or you can run one from your own router if you have a good enough server. If you didn't know about this already, don't try it. Lawlz.

Mar 25, 2010. 6:11 PMboblordofmonkeys says:

hey I was wondering if you could do this without all the expanstions?? but also if I got them later could I install them with no problems?? THANKS!!

Jun 3, 2010. 6:54 PMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

Yes, you can do this with regular WoW or either of the expansions. There is basically unlimited possibilities with private servers. Also, yes, you can upgrade at any time you want without any problems.

Jun 3, 2010. 7:54 PMspacetinker says:

Thanks you!

Apr 18, 2010. 2:17 PMjumajuce says:

i was just wondering is it safe to use this site i haven't played wow for a while cuz you have to pay but if this sites safe i might star again

Apr 27, 2010. 7:27 AMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

Yeah, just google WoW private servers, the first link should be a page of the "Top 100 Private Servers" or something like that. Any of those sites are safe.

May 16, 2010. 7:12 AMjumajuce says:

thank you for the reply now i can go and try this no more spending for me lol

May 13, 2010. 7:42 AMhellowow says:

Another cool wow server would be Hellowow.org
It's a blizzlike server and all that makes it fun are the tones of custom quests that we added for a better gameplay
Nice community, events and active and friendly staff, althou we are also recruting some

May 14, 2010. 5:38 AMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

Great! It's always good to get a new one since I can't keep updating this as the private servers are all changing. Always nice to see someone running their own! Keep up the good work.

WOTLK too scary? what do you mean?

I play in www.neverendless-wow.com it's the best normalish server.

Nov 28, 2009. 6:28 AMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

Sorry for the late reply, but what I mean by WOTLK being 'too scary' for me, was just me not wanting to get gear all over again, I had already spent all that time getting gear @ 70, and I was just to lazy to do it again lol.

Nov 30, 2009. 9:42 AMthe_burrito_master says:

Ah, I know what you mean.

Aug 18, 2009. 10:10 AMjulienlego says:

they did not ruin wow with WotLK. The new expansion is incredible!!! and the new patches make it insane!!!

Aug 18, 2009. 12:04 PMN1CK4ND0 (author) says:

:] I actually downloaded a trial to try it out, and I geuss it was alright. I still like the older WoW though.
