Things we love about SoloCraft
Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2024 7:41 pm
I haven't been playing SoloCraft long, but I've been super impressed so far with the server. I've been playing WoW since launch (both on launch and on private servers with very, very big breaks) - only ever in vanilla.
But yeah, I just thought it'd be fun and nice to make a topic for people to say the things they love about the server. I'll go first!
- The first thing is the basic point of the server - a relaxed, at-your-own-pace solo experience. The bots work amazingly well, and the increased rates are great for people like me that've already levelled 50 toons to 60 over 20 different servers. Being able to blaze thru dungeons, smash thru 51-60 in AV, the lack of attunements etc. All great, while still providing the options for a more difficult experience (no bots, 1x xp, etc) for those that want it.
- The focus on player-fun over balance. I've played on a few bot servers and they were great, but they tended towards a "balanced" feel. You had to pay gold for bots, or extra penalties for using them, etc. A thing I love about SoloCraft is that it's more focused on fun - if you want to fill a raid with bots and smash through an instance, you can, without penalty. Vanilla WoW is a very old (but still great) game at this point, so it's nice to have a server where you can just unwind and play as broken as you want.
- The community, while small, is always super helpful. Again, only been here for a few days, but I've seen some great chats in the <SoloCraft> guild, lots of newbie questions and lots of great answers. Lots of people willing to hand out bags etc to lowbies, too.
- Between the in-game community, the forum and the bug tracker, questions etc are answered super fast and super politely. A nice change compared to a few other servers I've played on. While I can't talk on the Discord due to not owning a phone good enough for Discord to decide it's a "real number", I'm sure that goes for the Discord too.
- And the main thing I enjoy - the chance to see all the stuff I didn't see during vanilla, and can't see on other pservers due to one reason or another. Like I said at the start, I've been playing since launch, and there are still dungeons I've never seen - never been in Sunken Temple, never seen any raid higher than MC, and I only did the 50+ dungeons once or twice. I've always had a hard time sticking to raid schedules, and finding guilds that mesh with my personality, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing them here on SoloCraft.
Keep up the good work! And to other players, what do you enjoy about SoloCraft?
