Im not really sure what im doing wrong i thought by opening a private server thats 100% blizzlike that people who dotn wanna pay 14.95 a month would join caz it be free and 100% blizzlike,no donor or voter crap,but it seems im not aving no luck i have posted server adds in at least 5 sites told my friends to tell people....and i cant get any members for some reason we are patch 3.2,non hamachi i jsut dont know what im donig wrong i look at all other servers and i got forums,website,armory,server running 24\7 and still i have alot of views for the website but they never make a account,ive even tried limmited time offer's like first 50 80's get free tier 9.5,free name race changes,and much more i keep updates to inform when server is down or up i always am online basicly im never not on server.....if anyone has any suggestions if ure suggestion has anything about me making it not 100% blizzlike then i am sorry but i wont do it.....im thinking i need people to know about us but i dont know how since ive aready doen so much i got over 200 views for my server ad on here and on ac web i jsut dotn get it

Back when I first started with private servers I used to think the same thing. But now I know people don't want to play on a buggy private server with only a few other people when they can play on a bug free version with thousands of people.

My suggestion would be to start with a fun server that people like, then once your population grows, you can add a blizzlike server and see if people will start playing on it.

If you are 100% against a fun server, I would at least increase xp rates so people can level faster.

Good Luck!

Just a little note, 99% of people who play on private servers play for the extra fun content. Blizzlike servers usually have 0 players because whats the point of having a bugged up server with blizzard rates when you can just play on blizzards servers which have no bugs and the same rates. The only reason why servers like wowscape etc have players on there supposed "blizzlike" servers is because they are not blizzlike but infact have higher rates, voting gifts and donor armor.

TL,DR Noone likes blizzlike servers make fun ones

Edit: By the way stop saying you have a 100% blizzlike server because that is not true, no one in this world has a 100% blizzlike server besides blizzard.

Edit2: What are you 12 years old that you need to type ...... after every 5 words, and also spell correctly its not cute or funny at all how you type.

It was a metaphor(the being 12 part), also 40 players is a very low population which being a blizzlike server im sure it took months to gain it also sounds like a tight nit server so my best guess is they are all some how friends thats why they continue to play there.

If you want players get a fully custom server, like the ones stoneharry always develops. He has custom quests, unique ideas, and in the end just doesn't do anything with his server.
