First Discovery
About a year ago or so I found the Project Ascension private server and played it for a while. This server is a Burning Crusade Classic server with class changes and other innovative changes.
I like several things about their ideas for a Wow Server:
- Extremely flexible class idea where you can pick and choose skills from any of the classes.
- Ability to tame pets from Elemental, Dragonkin, and Demonkin as well as Hunter Pets.
- Easy and free rank up of your skills.
- Reasonably fast progression – at least at the time of my starting.
- Good population so dungeon queue times were reasonable.
However, after a few weeks, I stopped playing. After I was able to level a couple of characters to level 70, and obtain flight in Outland, but then something changed and progression was so slow that everything felt like a grind. When I play a private server on any game, I don’t necessarily want an instant progression or boost to max level, but I don’t want a grind either. I expect a better progression than the original / retail game tho. If I were wanting a normal level of progression then I would just play the retail game. I didn’t figure out what changed at that time. So I know there are folks that enjoy the “Hardcore” experience where one death ends the character and you start over. I’m not a Hardcore kinda guy.
