Where do i start.. -Scripting is for the most part fine, few bugs here and there which is expected since it's fresh server but none of the bugs encountered halted my progression and lvling was a smooth sailing from start to finish. Older dungeons/raids are properly scripted as well. -The server is pvp which i dislike since i was camped on several occasions by lvl 90 full pvp geared rogues but community was nice enough to come to my aid in Hellfire Peninsula when i wined about it in /world so its not that bad really and i've had fun dueling with people around my level since it helps break monotony of doing quests without stopping. -Community is... really mixed, you have new players, veterans, toxic gankers, wholesome and chatty people so my experience so far is kinda overturning from average to the negative because there are in my opinion more toxic little shitheads than genuinely normal people that literally cannot wait 10 seconds for your group to finish off that group of mobs you pulled so they pull more ,which strains your healer so much he can barely keep outhealing the damage and guess what? Here comes the boss too! So it results in wiping and dissatisfaction between teammates and its all downhill from there. People are really impatient overall and take objective criticism as a threat instead of a hint which results in votekicking because "you're halting their progression" or something along those lines. (Sorry this turned into a personal rant but it's true.) -Is it fun? Absolutely!(even tho imo it's subjective meaning if you don't like MOP you won't like it duh), i've had my share of fun on SF but for every nice interaction i got 2 bad ones. If there is anything i learned over the course of 4 years playing on different private servers is that toxicity (if not punished or frowned upon) will spread and ultimately ruin the community cuz if he can talk shit, ninja , try to votekick and is being a general asshat for no apparent reason other than wanting to be one and get away with it why couln't anyone really? Oh and some players were mentioning hackers in wc and were very frustrated since they can't do anything about them but i've yet to encounter one so i am not sure if it's true or not. -On a good note: devs are constantly tracking bugs and focusing on fixing them day in and out and are transparent with the community on discord which is very nice. -Uptime is great, population as well, instant dungeon pop almost always (as a tank mind you) on any level, every zone has players in it which could be bad or good depending on which faction they are and are they 40 levels above you or not. -Shop doesn't contain any gear, only mounts and level boost which is a big thumbs up from me and I hope they keep it that way. -Is it the best server out there? Or at least MoP wise? No and no, but it has potential to become one in the near future if only admins could keep the community in check and thin the crowd a bit by separating rotten apples from the good ones (refer to -Community). -So... Is it worth playing on? Im sorry but not really, I wouldnt recommend anyone to play on Stormforge when Tauri does almost everything better and most of all COMMUNITY is really better compared to SF, BUT if you are bottered by low pop Tauri now has and want to experience older raids from mop (which is the reason im curently staying on SF) without begging people in wc give it a whirl otherwise, MoP wise go Tauri honestly.
