SOD feels like a gold farming simulator at the moment, to me, everyone has their likes and dislikes im not discounting that. I love WoW and in the search for something new, i found a post about a classic “fresh” server, Deviate Delight on classic era. Its essentially a brand new server (aside from the gates opening), no economy, no bots, and a very welcoming and friendly community. Everyone has nothing, everyone is leveling. If you’re bored with SOD like I am give it chance. There is a very active HORDE/ALLIANCE community.
Everyone has their own opinions, some may think that this is dumb its ok, just trying to get the word out.
CLASSIC FRESH on Deviate Delight Era (NA)! Come start anew - WoW Classic / WoW Classic General Discussion - World of Warcraft Forums (blizzard.com)
There is the original forum post.

I gave it a try, and its feels like a well developing community with involved players. Great times so far with a tiny bit of soft RP

I think there’s always times in WoW when there are lulls. This is sometimes different for different people, depending on what they focus on in game, and how many characters they play.
We’re pretty late into Phase 2 considering the length that Phase 1 was, so for sure people will be experiencing these lulls for themselves. I think some will find a refreshed interest in the game through something like Plunderstorm, or playing another game. It’s cool that you’ve found something in Classic Era, on Deviate Delight.
Out of curiosity, what class(es) do you play in SoD, and did that influence your decisions for what to play on DD? What are you playing anyway?
Fair question. I play feral druid, Main tank and dps when needed, as well as a Priest. I enjoy both of them. I also score well enough parses to not have to worry about raid groups (purples, not the best but i aint green). I guess what causes these issues for me is the amount of time i play. I play alot… So I’ve maxed out reps and professions, and also it feels like my community there is dying(which explains my boredom). This small community has brought some joy back into the game for me.

Community is huge! It’s great you’ve found something there.
I’ve been playing on the Deviate Delight server for about 2 weeks now. When I joined there were 15 people in the alliance guild. That is now about 250 - more than 130 unique accounts. The Horde had a head start, so they’re still a little ahead, but we’re catching up quickly.
The community feel is real. The economy is just getting started now. There’s a guild on each side that are all on the same page with the ‘fresh start movement’. It’s been great to see this many people coming together for lots of different reasons, but all deciding that this is what they need. If Blizzard won’t launch new servers, this is the best we can do.
Worst case scenario, play a character on a low population realm and then transfer to the Whitemane cluster. Best case scenario, we repopulate a dead server to a point where it’s sustainable.
All they needed for SoD was some runes like we have and some new content. Boom, massive success. Everything else, including the level staggering, is when they started over thinking it and losing direction as a classic season.
Yeah this is just a bad attempt at plugging your server. I have a hard time not finding a group right now on SoD. Sometimes I kinda dont want to run something, but I’ll look anyway just to see if there’s any groups looking for people, and even at 3am there’s multiple people trying to run raids or dungeons.

So you’re trying to take over a server that has an actively, established community already, change the way they do things and then shamelessly advertise the other game modes to come play it? get lost

Most advertisements are inverted truth. This is no different
Come to an old dusty server for a 2 week push instead of playing the greatest iteration of wow ever conceived. During a phase launch no less lol
You lark

There was nobody playing on Deviate Delight before. A handful of people with old pre-TBC characters there have seen our posts here or reddit and logged into their dusty characters. The reason this server was selected is 100% because it was dead.
Well enjoy your era server and we’ll enjoy SoD, no issue… it feels far from dead here.
1/10 advertisement, would not play on that server.

wouldn’t have to be spreading the word if it wasnt dying. theres also nothing fresh about classic. same old sh
Lol it’s doing so well you have to beg for players. Classic WoW is so 2019. It died years ago. Fresh servers won’t save it. Especially seeing how ALL classic servers are low pop lol.
Classic+ is the way to go expanding on all the changes made in SoD.
It’s not a fresh server, it’s just a dead Era server that has 1000 60’s still on it. Useless for a new server.
