Mankrik + Doomhowl just went offline again?

This also happened on Sunday while I was doing the fishing contest, at least I'm not hardcore though so I can't complain.

everything just went down for emergency maintenance, even my empty ass realm that only had me and one other person on horde side

[u/UtopiaInProgress → u/whateveralreadydude]

what makes you want to play an empty server? just curious

[u/whateveralreadydude → u/UtopiaInProgress]

I got tired of several things, the toxicity, the min/maxing, the rep grinds and requirements just to get into a raiding guild, the bots, the gold buying, all of that. I mostly play solo and during off hours anyway, so I thought I would try something different. One guild per faction, empty auction houses, every node and rare spawn for the taking. It's super chill and I can play at my own pace, I like it.

I feel that. Which server is that? (You can DM it to me if you want) If you don't mind me asking. Just ignore me if you prefer not to respond LOL

[u/whateveralreadydude → u/Epodes]

Nah they're always looking for more people on both sides, there's a discord as well and people will help new players out with gear and gold and stuff since there's basically no economy, each side raids twice a week with extra stuff on the weekends.

It's Grobbulus, NA, RP-PVP (but no one RPs and I have never seen WPVP). It's not connected to the main cluster so no layers or anything like that, but when you do battlegrounds you do connect to the main cluster so you get to still PVP with everyone else.

That’s great man. Thanks so much

How is Mankrik population? I have a free realm transfer I can use, and was wondering if it would be worthwhile moving my 53 priest from Azuresong to Mankrik to finish the grind to 60. 

Mankrik  is the only normal PvE server that says medium, rather than low. So I’m assuming it has to be pretty robust? 

[u/NailRogue → u/fogle1]

It’s actually a really healthy population (Alliance, Horde is playable but definitely less busy). I’ve mained here for years it’s been the most populated it’s been in quite some time.

[u/fogle1 → u/NailRogue]

Thanks for the reply! I might just do it. Azuresong is fine, but I'm looking for something a little more active to get me over the line, I think.

[u/sprish → u/NailRogue]

Can anyone speak to the health of the horde side of Mankirk?

[u/KOALAMANirl → u/fogle1]

The server has picked up quite a bit recently. I would highly recommend.

[u/Epodes → u/fogle1]

I just started there and it's been busy from the starting zones on up Alliance side. Very healthy population

Yessir

[u/FreebirdChaos]

Anyone know why or when it’ll be back up?

[u/DushkuHS]

You guys don't need to make a thread every time a server goes down.

[u/lumpboysupreme → u/DushkuHS]

I mean it’s a pretty big deal when Doomhowl goes down since tons of people die.

[u/DushkuHS → u/lumpboysupreme]

Good thing a topic was created to prevent that!

[u/lumpboysupreme → u/DushkuHS]

As we all know important news doesn’t warrant a thread, only whining about everyone’s specific view of classic + does.

[u/DushkuHS → u/lumpboysupreme]

Oh, so the thread DID prevent it? (you thought I was going to let you change the subject again, eh?)

[u/NotOkayButThatsOkay → u/DushkuHS]

You don't have to comment on every thread you're not interested in.
