Why paid service on a private server?

[massacreur]

Hey,

As probably a lot of people here, I've started playing Wow a long time ago and then decided to stop.
Now I'd like to come back from time to time but my issue is that using the Official Wow Server, I'd have to pay for the Legion extension + subscription...
That is why I decided to look for a private server.

Unfortunately I can see that if I don't want to pay, I have to start my characters from scratch which is a big deal as it requires a lot of time to lvl up from lvl 1 to 110...

I also understand that people here are working to maintain the server...but come on, why is everything always all about money and so expensive?!
And why would I pay such a price (it's still very expensive) to do it on a private server rather than an official wow server?

Please, add some ads instead if you need money to pay for the servers but let us have some fun.

not sure if the server is popular enough to survive from popup ads. It needs way more money to survive than the 15 euros to instantly levelup 110.

also, you could pay monthly 10 euros for wow, or once 15 euros for level 110 here.

Why paid services on a private server? cos devs need to eat lol.
You should ask why there are paid services on retail wow.
You pay the for the possibility to play their game, but you can pay some more and get everything you need without playing too much = you pay to play and then you pay not to play.

Think of it more as "if you want instant-gratification, pay for the item/high level".
Adding in "ads" would ruin any comfort in playing this server.
You are in no way prompted to pay for the game here, but donating some never hurt either.
Compared to retail, leveling here is not even bad 1-100.
The admins here work hard on this server, I think they deserve some donations. Even voting is good and doesn't take long, plus you get rewards.

complaining about leveling on a x12 pserver.
you can just do 1-110 in like 6-7 hours.

anyways there is two ways to play Wowfreakz

1. normal mode: level your own char, get your items in dungeons/raid, farming etc. (slower and hard but fun, also you can learn how to use your class)
2. easy mode: pay for everything. (you support the server but there is no sense of accomplishment, just donate for x gear you need)

go play easy mode if you can't level your char here.

I am confused reading through your post. When you made s character did you had to pay? No. Did anyone implied that you have to? No. So where is the issue? Check what's the definition for the donation. It mainly self driven.

Obviously the money go in paying for the host, development team and so on. I don't get the purpose of your topic. What are you upset for? That the server is not fun, instant level 110?

I want to ensure you that every ban is always followed by a proper reason. If you wake up in a situation where your account is banned, feel free to make a proper post under Unban Request.
Do not forget to bring the necessary evidence to appeal GMs decision.

Or you can wait until we have the migration system online if you're not willing to level 1-110 No one forces you to pay if you don't want to and you level up normally with the server rates at your choice. If you'd like to show support to us (keep in mind that this a voluntary work from each of us and we enjoy doing it) by giving you guys the experience of both expansions for free, those are situations when donations come in handy: for you to gear up/purchase stuff and for us to continue maintaining the server, host, devs etc.

Running ads/whatever won't help pay even one of the servers... and we're using a lot of them (sites, mop, legion, etc, etc)

As everyone mentioned, it's free to play. Asking for EVEN MORE free stuff... well.... that's just ungrateful

You sound ungrateful and entitled.

The money is used for developing, paying for server hosting, domains etc.

It is very easy to level to 110, compared to blizz servers due to increased exp rates. Instant 110 is for people who want to take a shortcut(and support developers), and it is completely optional.No one is even forcing you to use cash shop.You can play the game perfectly without using real money.

On blizzard you pay monthly

here you pay if you want, and you pay once
