As many of you know South African gamers have long nagged blizzard for anything representing an official WoW server. With helkom a frequent part of our lives we all have to deal with latencies of 500-700+ and get kicked out of raids frequently for lagging out during big boss fights.

The solution: Inferus WoW server.

I've been playing on this server for only a short while now and I really enjoy the comunity and the players around. It is run of a pretty decent dedicated server from a 4mb line and is as far as i can tell completely lag free. As far as bugs are concerned I'd be lying if I said there are none but its one of the least buggy servers I've ever come across with only one or 2 minor quest bugs all of which seem to be being fixed quickly. I strongly recomend this to anyone who is tired of just plain strugling on official servers and looking for another alternative to put the fun back in WoW. Dont let the.com scare ya its run in SA and i get a latency of about 21.

Simply set your realmlist in data/enUK (or data/enUS) to inferus.servegame.com

(For help on setting your realmlist just google it)

The website can be found at: http://inferus.servegame.com:8020

Note: Although private servers are considered illegal by some, its in a gray patch of the law and WoW hasn't really taken any legal action against private servers for a very long time. They only seem to take legal action against servers who seek to make money out of it (which i can fully understand). This server was not started to rob WoW of players or make money but rather give an alternative to the headache of official wow latency. The day they start a SA server or we get faster internet I'll hapily subscribe again but for now I'm not getting the service you pay for on an official server and this is a really good alternative.

This server also runs at 3x exp with modified drops of low lvl items to account for the level chaneg.

yawn!

Another day another crappy illegal server. Does this one have wotlk yet or will it also be released some time next year?
 
Website is: http://inferus.servegame.com:8020

Sorry about the URL but its all done privately out of the creater's pocket and he's already put quite a bit of cash into the hardware.

Of course it has WotLK. Its slightly behind date at the moment (3.09) as testing has shown the newest versions to be slightly more buggy then we would like but the problems are being sorted out pretty quickly and we're planning on going up to 3.2.2 within the week. Upgrading to 3.3 (the newest version) shouldn't be far behind that. Alot of the GM's and the game creator have had plenty of experience working with private servers before and have experience in the software developing side making them apt at fixing bugs personally.

I really recomend trying out the server before judging it.
 
I won't lie to you I definitely choose to play on a local server with good latency than on constant 500-700ms on official. And, its free.

I am a player on Inferus WoW and so far I'm pretty crazy about the server. There are no lagspikes, and bugs are extremely rare. Dungeons work, battlegrounds work, and pretty much everything works. Since the server is very new it does not yet have a large population, but that is why we need you.

Come try out Inferus wow and have some fun on a very stable server.
 
so if i wanted to , for the first time in my life ... play wow . (blasphemy) ... i could just buy the required game and expansion , update to server required patch . and play for free but on this server only ? i have been keen to try the game , but actually paying a monthly fee just to waste cap on it , to buy more cap at the end . aint real fun . its 3rd person rpg , in warcraft set world . which is fun as i playd wow beta before it came out but stopped as soon it was pay for play. sigh allas i am looking for an alternative to keep me busy

Well technically u could copy the game from a friend for free and play on our server but that's piracy and we all know piracy is bad... hehe
 
Well I haven't been online for a while now so I'm not sure, but why don't you come check it out and help us improve on that.
 
well, if you running on a 4mb line then you can probly only handle around 50 players max before it starts lagging, and its an awfully big world for just 50 players.
 
"This server also runs at 3x exp with modified drops of low lvl items to account for the level chaneg."

Please explain what the heck that sentence means.
 
It means you gain x3 more XP and get better loot from low level mob than you would on a normal Blizzard server - typical with these private servers. No idea wat a level "level chaneg" is.

Lol, amazing that you fail to realize it was a simple typo.

Yes, it means that you get 3times the exp you would normally get with creeps, quests, w/e. Drop rates have also been changed because of the exp rate changes.

Inferus has hosted an Earlier server called "Mzanzi", which was hosted on a slower line and could hold more than 50 players without creating lag.
The 4mb line is more than enough.

Not that I'm trying to be an ass, but lets say you are lucky enough to have a 4MB line that's uploading at 640k instead of the usual 512k.

640k/8 = 80kb/s.

So if you have 50 people concurrently playing that's a "massive" 1.6kb/s upload to each player. It just doesn't work... I can understand all the reasons for wanting to play on a private server etc, but when I was playing WoW it was the people that made the game for me, and having 25 people on horde and 25 on alliance just doesn't cut it. Would feel like single player.

If I start playing again I will just continue playing official.

So its just you and snakebite? Does it echo in the Undercity?
 
Well w/e u can rant and rave about how @#$% it should be on here but I haven't encountered any of the problems u are all complaining about that should exist. Try it out or dont. We're looking for people who play WoW for the fun of it not who complain about every little thing even if it doesn't exist.
 
You should post this kind of thread in the WoW forum, to get maximum Fanboi Whinage.
 
Sigh, guess me post was deleted. I ask:

I don't get all these little local WoW servers. The game is SOOOOO HUGE. What they should do, is combine ALL the WoW servers in SA that way everyone will benefit :D
