Whitemane Cataclysm Server Leveling Experience
Whitemane Cataclysm Server Leveling Experience
FYI, it's a really good server 1 to 60. You can set your own XP rate from 1 to 4.5, and I've seen no real bugs.
At 60 you automatically get boosted to 80 (including your profs) and you get level 80 beginner gear. From there you quest from 80 to 85 and do all the endgame stuff.
FYI though, while the BC and Wrath zones do exist, I do not know if they've been fully scripted and are functional or not.
I've flown around in some of the BC zones for herbing in mining purposes, and everything seemed copacetic, but like I said before, I believe most people take the free boost at 60 because they're there to experience the cataclysm content, so I don't know what state those zones are in for questing.
(I am not affiliated with the server in anyway whatsoever, just currently playing on it, and wanted to create a post in this community for content for others to read).
I haven't played on Whitemane yet, as I'm currently after an experience closer to the original Vanilla -> TBC -> WotLK progression, but Whitemane does look pretty good as a Cataclysm+ prog server. It doesn't look Blizzlike, which could be a pro or con depending on your personal preference, but it does look like it has a decent population. Quick clarification though; the highest XP rate is 3x, not 4.5x.
Might check this out sometime over the next few months, as I can't seem to find any other Cataclysm servers with population higher than like 200 lol.

It is mostly, though it does have some quality of life features that are definitely not ActiBlizzlike, which I did personally like a lot.
The only weird (not necessarily bad) thing is that when you get to level 60 you're automatically boosted to level 80, including your profs, and you get the level 80 starter gear. Then you're back to questing/BGs/dungeons from 80 to 85. I had wanted to quest from 60 to 80, so I lament that you can't, some zones are not implemented at all, like the underwater zone.
The basic expectation is that you'll be rushing up to 60, get boosted to 80, and then play from 80 to 85. It's truly a very focused Cataclysm server, but it is done well as far as I can tell so far.
A really good point is that any ticket you open is answered within a minute or two, the GMs are really on top of things there and are helpful.
but it does look like it has a decent population.
It actually has a really good population, which kind of surprised me.
Quick clarification though; the highest XP rate is 3x, not 4.5x.
Actually it goes higher than 3x based on how many max level characters you already have. It's an additional bonus multiplier on top of the boost multiplier that you can set yourself, anywhere between 1.0 and (I thought?) 3.5.
