Careful with your Hype in Private Servers

by smilkovpetko » Sun Oct 16, 2016 5:34 am

Apparently, one custom private server is asking for real money in order to play during the BETA phase. It looks like they are also charging money for different in-game stuff. At the end of the BETA testing, they will delete your character, together with everything you purchased. You won't get a refund.

Private servers are free! Don't pay for something that isn't even out yet. The guys behind this project WoW Awakening might end up just closing the server and you won't be able to refund your money. Stay safe.

For once, I agree with you.

Those guys from Awakening customize someone elses game, tweak it a little bit and have the audacity to charge people for playing there, on a freaking beta. The dumb classless system aside, I'm pretty sure this is just a quick cash hunt and they won't make it far before Blizz shuts them down, cause they are actually making money out of their product.

The only situation where I'd give any money to a private server is if there was one I've been playing for a while, with a confirmed quality and a need for a little cash to keep it going. But what kind of a braindead person gives money to a new, unconfirmed and suspicious project with an uncertain future?

The stupidity of people falling for such scams is the reason such things even exist, and as long as there are enough stupid people to give money away just like that, there will be enough smart people willing to trick them into giving it.

I saw wow awakening charging for beta, and knew I'd never play there. It just feels very shady to me.

They are changing an existing game into god knows what, and expect people to pay for it before they can even prove they have a good product. Very shady indeed.
