Welcome to Gaia! ::

There is no fully defined rule about private servers for the guild. Basically, I go by Blizz's attitude towards them - you can discuss running your own server, as long as no one else connects to it. Likewise, explain how to make your own 'sandbox' server, but not how to get it hooked up to the web for others to connect to. Links to private servers on the web = not allowed.

Similarly, gold/account sale/trade threads will be deleted or locked, as they would be on Blizzard's forums.

The only place we're more flexible, in respect to these kind of things, is game glitches or some exploits. This is only in respect to harmless things, like how to get into Caverns of Time, before it was released. Not how to write a botting script or hide in WSG with the enemy flag. Anything that'll get you suspended/banned, pretty much.

Tear apart this post with much lulz, NOW!

So if I talk about how I have a gnome warrior in tier 3 on a private server, without giving any links to it or mentioning the name of the server, it'll be okay?

Btw, Blizzard is kind of a retard when it comes to private servers. They mean for them to be there, thats why they offer the software free to download. They provide servers for idividuals to buy and pay a fee to upkeep, although the coding they give is always defective and faulty, hence the glitches. Its all marketing. They know people will want to try the game for free for longer than a week or whatever it is, but they also want people to buy the timecards for real. They know people will think 'hey this is cool, but it'd probably be a lot cooler if there were no glitches.'
