While waiting for my client to patch up to 2.3 yesterday, I decided to pop over to xtremetop100.com and check out the World of Warcraft private server listings. I figured I’d give it a go. Aggamagan has been real slow on retail lately, so what the hell. I clicked through the banner on top100 and landed at a nice little CSS page with all the info I need to connect. ( WaMMO Landing Page ).

I registered on the forums, signed up for a account on their Shadowburn server and downloaded the Launcher they provide to help you connect. It was all pretty seamless.

Game play was smooth and fluid. The rates were decent enough that I was level 10 within an hour or so. I had an issue with a quest, and submitted a ticket. I almost had a heart attack when a GM (Game Master) popped over within 3 minutes to help me complete the quest! Even on retail I have to wait close to 5 hours for a ticket to be answered!

Other players were very nice, even helping me with some gold and bags. I’m impressed. I think I might just stop playing retail and move onto private servers for good.
