I have played on WoW-Mania for the better part of 3 years now, and my main takeaways are: 1. This server has the friendliest population I've ever seen on a WoW private server. 2. Players get banned for discussing server functionality and GM behavior in the world chat, even constructively 3. If people are discussing migrating to other servers in guild discord servers, the server owner, "Janitor", will disband the guild if he finds out. 4. GMs will ban and harass people on unjust grounds. 5. The core is many years old Personally, I have seen the GM team both treat me with the respect a compliant player deserves be hounded at for "breaking the server rules" the very same day. I take great care to follow any server's rules and stay compliant as I understand that GMs usually view servers as "their house", while players are just "visitors". The WoW-Mania leadership touts that they want "community", but are doing their absolute best to separate themselves from it and hold it back.
