    Isn’t the entire point of classic to get off p2w private servers that can and do just shut down randomly destroying your progress?

    SOM servers seemed like an absolute godsend.

    I’ve played since vanilla and even went back and did all of classic again when it first came out again a few years ago. My only private server experiences were not good by any means.

    Is there something I’m missing or is it just about saving the monthly sub cost

      Yes for some people it is the subscription cost, or not wanting to support Blizzard, or wanting to re-experience an old version of the game as accurately as possible.

      There are also those people that like hopping between realms whenever new ones are launched to get the “fresh” experience and don’t mind losing an old character when they’ve done all they’ve wanted to with it.

      I do hope that more of these projects allowed you to export your character data to perhaps use on your own self-run private server. None of the ones I’ve seen allow you to do that.
