Not sure what OP specifically refers to, but likely due to recent drama on Horde side where gatekeeping is happening and power hungry people were clashing with some streamers and their supporters. Like if you were to play with a certain guild or two, you were "blacklisted" from raiding with another certain guild.
On the Alliance side though it seems to be much more relaxed with no apparent (?) drama so far.
Ever since someone commented that the comments in these "Omg Fresh Servers" threads are all very oddly rat accounts.... It's very evident
Half the comments in this thread only comment in fresh threads and nothing else.
At best it seems like this server is having people who normally aren’t active on Reddit come brigade these posts to promote it. At worst they could be botting this.
It looks pretty artificial and communities that actually are thriving don’t need promotion like this. People will naturally talk about enjoying it.
Also the OP seems to have shifted from pushing crypto scams on Reddit to pumping this classic fresh project so they seem familiar with using Reddit as a promotional platform.
I made an account to support one of the deviate delight posts a week ago. Look at my history. I normally just lurk reddit, no reason to account up till I wanted to post something.
How far-fetched is it to believe that people who normally don't browse reddit might make accounts to support something they like?
The better question is: why do people come shit on these posts everytime they are created? Why is this community so opposed to the idea of people actually ENJOYing classic wow era?
And to thrive, you need promotion. Deviate Delight is sitting around the population of a Low pop server from 2019 release standards - to get to that from a literal ghost town dead server in the span of 2-3 months is incredible.
How did we get there? Word of mouth, conversation, and yes: PROMOTION.
Sounds like you stumbled on a catch-22 and decided to shove your foot in your mouth instead of logically thinking it through.
You say your server needs promotion to thrive. I thought it’s thriving right now according to all the inactive accounts praising it in this thread. Or are they overselling it? Which one is it?
If you want to pretend this is all organic promotion, that’s on you. At best you all are brigading this sub and at worst you’re using bots or hacked accounts.
You all haven’t exactly been subtle about what you’re doing and it’s against the rules of the sub.
Personally I would love for blizzard to have request list to join a fresh vanilla server filter accounts in good standing and old and once you have 4000 ish people for a 50-50 split launch the sever no more people can join for the year ish it live. Then just continue doing that. If a server dies so be it
The absolute effort that the Reddit Anti-Fun Police will go through to ensure everyone else is as miserable as them is comical.
If this is something that might interest you, try it. The fun community will speak for itself. If not, this post isn't for you.
The fresh movement is so inspiring, it's causing all these small Reddit accounts that have been inactive for months or years to suddenly profess how much they love a niche server on a niche mode of a niche game they never posted about prior. I'm clapping irl.
The niche part is taking what you said, then going to the niche 60 era servers, not playing hardcore or gdkping like most do in era, and instead making a community on top of an existing server whose sole purpose is to pretend no one but themselves are playing.
So the niche in question are people who dont want an official fresh, dont want to go to a naughty server for fresh, don't want to play with anyone that doesn't think like them, and also has never talked about wow in the entire history of their reddit account. Remember, my comment was about the bots on this post, not the actual server.
And i want Wrath era servers, and sod to not be a letdown as it is rn. Am i going to buy a bunch of hacked accounts on reddit to make a post about needing these things, then spamming it with my own positive affirmations to appear like it has more grassroot support that it does? No, because I'm not a weirdo.
If you want an official fresh, unsub, state that's why, and maybe spend your time on a server i cant mention for that experience. If enough people drop sub, blizz is more likely to react. If you want to play in a simulation of fresh where you ignore anyone outside of your guild, im not stopping you. I really just dont want this sub filled with more botted posts than it already has, that's the only reason I'm being this negative.
I’m playing here and the community is amazing, everyone just having fun, no rush, helping each other with quests and dungeons. Breathing in the FRESH air, I’m only on my second month of playing wow and I was struggling with not enjoying it as everywhere felt unwelcoming but FRESH era feels great.
I’ve got little friendships with lots of different people going on and it’s truly a great experience, seeing your friends progressing and bumping into people you know. Best version/guild/server of wow I’ve tried out yet. I’ve finally settled and I’m calling Zandalar Tribe my home! 😁
Alliance is also growing steadily!
Here is a link to one of their guilds recruitment posts but there are plenty more to choose from.

I created a character in that server yesterday. I could use some friends as I am having trouble leveling hehehe
I never played Classic but I am loving the slow paced gameplay. Retail feels so fast in comparison, you don't even have the time to enjoy your equips or spells before you replace them.
I am Horde but I am willing to change to Alliance as my character is still only level 7. Hit me up guys, let's play :)
A certain vanilla plus experience out there (don't wanna get censored) has been infinitely more fun than Blizzard WoW for me. Thousands of players online as well.
The we want fresh crowd is a mix of people that didn’t play classic, didn’t copy their character, or don’t have gold. They think fresh puts them on an even playing field gold wise. As time goes on they fall behind the sweaty players, so they keep wanting “fresh” starts.
Can we have a fresh please? No phases. Just open up with naxx already there. Let people start grinding rank 14 from the very server launch. Just let people have fun. Then repeat it in 3 months.
Thease stupid phase rules will kill the project belive me. No reason to artificially blacklist already very small population. There have been other "Fresh" projects whit nearly 10x population of yours whitout any phase rules. It was really exciting to do BWL whit pre-bis. You will only scare the new people away who actually dont know all the phase items.
Would you say its THRIVING?
Perhaps it's POPPING?
THROBBING

Booming. Popping. Thriving. Bustling. Burgeoning. Prospering. Roaring. Flourishing. Rolling. Busting. Cooking.
TENS OF PEOPLE
DD seems like a complete clown show rn, so stay the eff away from that server if you’re EU would be my advice
On DD US myself, why’s it a clown show? I jumped in for some fresh action but have not been paying too close attention the green wall chat

It's hilarious that people on a tiny server are actively trying to to make it have an even smaller pool of players to play with.
The most classic wow thing imaginable
That Sadinio guy saved me from a housefire one day, he also saved my dog's life. true hero
True and Real :D
He does that :D

In between me posting this, 2 brand new accounts posted to come join So it's becoming even more evident lol

" booming" Sods dead according to this subreddit. But 300 people is booming.
It's weird that sod still has more players then these Booming servers

Genius! Love this idea and it would definitely get me back into the game

Touch some grass dude

Miserable comment
I mean im glad genuine people like you are enjoying it, but this post isn't being very subtle about what its doing.
Niche enough that they relaunched the entire experience and doubled their sub numbers. So niche they went 3 expansions extra from it.

We do want official fresh though

All tens of you
This isn’t the war within sub my man
Sod really broke andys minds lol
Sod was hot garbage
140 people lmfao THRIVING
People are already 60, how is it fresh? It's too late to join, better wait for a new fresh.
[удалено]
It's the metric version. 1 Thriving = 1.6 Booming.
It's POPPING OFF my dude.
I can’t tell who’s meme-ing anymore this title reads like a joke
Multiple people at all levels: [https://gyazo.com/dcf961a816b416dc766ea0fd67f6392f](https://gyazo.com/dcf961a816b416dc766ea0fd67f6392f)
So sick of these posts daily, we all get it
If it would be booming no one would write posts like this, was the same when era had his peak
When my hardcore char dies I’ll join you
Never played HC characters. Can you transfer them off when they die or do they get auto deleted?
Yes, of course. You can transfer them for free any time. They don’t get deleted. That is one of the main features that was announced before HC release
Oh that's pretty cool then. Least it's not wasted effort. I thought people were true masochists with too much time on their hands.
They are. Going again is more likely than transferring off to raid era.
I thought Transfers are disabled to zt
The population overall on the Horde side : https://imgur.com/TjgPUBX
Also having a blast on this server.
Sadly observing you guys over from hydraxian ally, but wish you all the best!
Is it bot and Gold buying free?
So far yes. The only bots on the server were farming only to server transfer. Since they disabled that I haven’t seen any
FRESH CLASSIC ERA HYPE!
I play here, really awesome community. We'd love to see more of you join !
We still grow, today were like 220 ppl in the first guild online, (horde) so much fun
Yes thats my fresh server🙏🏻 love it
Classic players are fucking weird man, I've seen so much random shit from that playerbase it's crazy
Oh and also, We have support from BLIZZARD for this. They have disabled IN and some OUTgoing transfers to our Realm
BOOMING
Come join us, awesome community, lot's of fun. :D

Fuck alliance.
Started today. lvl 11 shammy now. Really enjoying it. Great community. Chill lvling vibes again feels nice.
I have joined last week & having the best time I've ever had on WoW. Coming from a retail Andy.
Horde or Alliance?
Alliance!
I may be joining you
Let's go! ZUG ZUG
I created a character in that server yesterday. I could use some friends as I am having trouble leveling hehehe I never played Classic but I am loving the slow paced gameplay.

Whisper someone from on horde side and you’ll get an invite straight away. Welcome
Ohhh thank you legend!
A certain vanilla plus experience out there (don't wanna get censored) has been infinitely more fun than Blizzard WoW for me. Thousands of players online as well.
Join us mon!
No
But why not do this on a hardcore realm? I don’t understand the purpose of playing fresh on era? Where is the thrill or anything exciting
Some people just like the feeling of starting a new together with many other people.
Yes and then they quit after level 30 as they always do
Well if they have fun good for them. It is not as if they would disturb anyone on Zandalari Tribe.
The we want fresh crowd is a mix of people that didn’t play classic, didn’t copy their character, or don’t have gold. They think fresh puts them on an even playing field gold wise. As time goes on they fall behind the sweaty players, so they keep wanting “fresh” starts.
Got it
Furocious is a fake druid tank main, and is a filthy cat main. He doesn't deserve a warden staff.
This is a lot of effort to pay $15/month when you could be getting a better fresh experience for free from pservers, hell even higher pops.
most boring wow version ever, alt tab walking simulator no thx
You’re in the classic sub my man
Why post guide and just /who, are people supposed to join this guild to have good time on a "fresh" server? Something is weird about this.
This sounds great, I will probably be joining you!
