Yes. It's easily the best private server simply due to being a Classless systerm.

I play mostly solo, not a very social player, but I still really enjoy the server. 3-4 years and counting. It's fun but I don't usually do group content outside of dungeons because I don't have a friend group, and I have severe PUG anxiety because people in any version of wow can be toxic over the slightest things.

I played ascension and my biggest gripe is how meta heavy it is when you get to end game. Like i wanted to be a leach magic tank and you can sure build it but if you wanna raid you're either switching to DOTs as a DPS or mitigation and keeping tank. It was amazing leveling and doing dungeons but endgame was a screeching halt that killed it for me.

After playing the server since it was vanilla and not even TBC i have to say it has had a huge issue with getting different viable tank builds. There have been plenty of dps and even healer builds available, but they have always struggled with implementing viable tanking alternatives. Sometimes they get a little close and end up with a few great tank builds for heroics and maybe normal raids. But those builds often fall flat when trying ascended dungeons or higher difficulty raids. Huuuuge shame too cause my first build i made was such a fun tanking build for leveling and lower lvl dungeons but couldn't survive the dmg from heroic dungeons 😢

Did these guys actually bring back what wow used to be and what it was always meant to be and stay that way? If so then I say they are doing a good thing and better than blizzards sorry good for nothing tails.

You got to give credit to the development team from Ascension. Every time I look at the game, it is reworked in a even better way. But, some of the end game gearing process is arcane. If you don't find someone to explain and help, you get very lost in all the enchanting shenanigans that you need/can do. They should streamline that mechanic a LOT to get new players to stay, but the older players that already know the mechanic hate talking about this.

ya underrated game

Love it just wish they would add custom races like ogre and all the races from retail. Also would love custom zones. Maybe that’s something for after northrend.

It's fun! I think it's going to keep me busy for a few months at least. I know this video was made two months ago, but at least on Area52, the Ascension channel (default /1) is a cesspool that I am forced into every login, and generally find myself typing /leave 1 because of how bad it is. Some pros: Challenge modes like Nightmare (300-500% extra damage taken, die once you lose), Ironman (Never die until max level, can't get any help), Inn-Sane (Ironman but you can only heal hp/mp at an Inn) etcetc. So many. You really can make any character you want. Mystic enchants are a new system that took me some getting used to, but there is a mystic enchant for almost every play style. You can Prestige when you hit max level, which resets you to 1 and lets you do all quests over again while keeping the rest of your progress like crafts, gold, reputations, etc. This really does let you do everything on one character. If you grind hard or purchase from the shop, you can access every profession on one character. Horde and Alliance can play with each other Some cons: Some builds are just significantly better than others. Some builds are not supported very well at all. This is all thanks to the Mystic Enchants completely changing the mechanics or power scaling of abilities. So if you wanna play something quirky, like Rogue / Fire Mage, it's not going to work very well. Rouge with Warlock Nightfall procs every 2-3 seconds (Because Sinister Strike triggers it) and Shadowbolt scaling with Eviscerate, though? Mystic enchants got you covered! And that's really it for cons...!

Great video! I've been playing this server since season 3. One of the best parts is that cash shop items can be bought for gold on the AH, even the COA server access pass and exp boosts. This can save 50 bucks.

Played a good chunk of ascension for the past 2 seasons, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys WoW and always wanted that extra bit of customisability

Where are the ascension servers located? Curious about latency, any AU servers?

The ton of new classes they added are amazing.

thanks for this comprehensive synopsis, I've been considering it for the past years. i was just hesitant.

This video is making me give it a try. I had never heard about this and the whole appeal for wow (for me) has always been being creative while constructing my character

​@babaganoush6378 for the most part, yes. You can do the quests, follow storylines, and fight endgame raid bosses. A lot of the leveling is streamlined, but nothing stops you from going zone to zone for story. The leveling zones even scale with you, so if you really like a zone, you can continue to play there even after leveling quickly.

I just started playing the game looks really good like it’s had a runelite added to it.

Ascension is amazing! I haven't had this much fun with WoW since possibly Vanilla! Dragon flight was fun for a while, then I got bored and stopped for over a year. Some friends were playing hardcore classic recently and wanted me to join them but I really didn't want to resub. I liked the idea of classic SoD but again, didn't think it'd be worth the monthly cost. Then I remembered there were free servers and stumbled upon Project Ascension. It has consumed me! lol The prestige system along with wildcard/free-pick is just genius! I'm currently trying to get my friends to join me but they've never tried a "free server" before. I'll send them this video!

Good to see you went from Dcuo to World of Warcraft (even if it's not the real wow), that's a major upgrade. I did the same thing a month back, finally quit Dcuo and went back to playing Wow retail again! World of Warcraft was actually my first MMO and it's what got me to try out Dcuo is the first place, i played both of them for years!

I did did try it a year or so ago, did not quite catch me then. Came back like 2 monts ago and im loving it. Have played retail wow a lot every few years, and this is the most fun i have had in a decade, to say the least. Can't wait to see wotlk content implemented, but that could be a rlly long shot tho. Still,tbc and the additions thay made are just amazing, blizz o any mmorpg games company for that matter, should be taking notes.

I never could play wow as a kid. Couldn’t afford the monthly payment lol. Been really thinking about ascension

Someone in my guild once said that they don't like the idea of every race being every class cause its not lore friendly like blizzard hasn't retconned the lore a thousand times over

installed it twice, necver played it past lvl 5 it is fun and all but I got no time for it atm, when my WOW love rekindles I will play it because it is insanely good

I really understand the difficulties in joining in on classic era wow if you haven't played it before or if you haven't read/played the lore of wc1-3. For me, I love the race+class requirements. I like when the class and race are lore-accurat and when a class is integral to one aspect of the game. Such as warriors being great DPS and tanks, but lack any solo capabilities or utility and is essentially worthless on their own.. as opposed to a paladin which can tank, heal and even in some dungeons DPS quite well, albeit the paladin isn't the same combat beast, instead they bring tons of utility. When class fantasy and lore gets diluted to fit a newer and perhaps lore-unknowing playerbase, I instantly lose interest in the said game. Hence why I quit wow in wrath because it simply wasn't fair for a paladin to outdps a warrior which could only do that. I'm glad that there are these kind of servers to pool the players that dislike the original way of wow and prefer, to a certain degree, a different game.

@@forwenein2669 Sure it´s bad design but allowing for hybrid classes to outperform non-hybrids in their respective field is even worse class design. I concede that perhaps warriors shouldn´t be so overly OP tanks too. I think it´s fair for each class to excel at 1 role, not dominate on 2 when it comes to PvE. Because warriors are so bad in pvp in any scenario where they haven´t got a pocket healer though, I really don´t mind those poor souls dominating where they can.

Ascension is my go to private server whenever I get that WoW itch. Making your own customized character is great. I remember being very surprised when I could do the Stockades on my own at the appropriate level simply due to the skills available. Very fun stuff. What bothers me a bit, if you are just starting out or you start on one of the seasonal servers, it'll be a while before you get enough bag space and loot especially armor and weapons drops like crazy on Ascension. You constantly have to play inventory manager or go back to a hub and sell your stuff. You can't miss out on the currency you'd lose by trashing things. That stuff gets annoying really fast. It's turned me off from playing on new seasonal servers quite a bit. I also don't understand the draft mode. Seasonal servers are usually locked into it. What it means is that you can't freely pick your skills and talents, you are instead given random ones at set intervals. There are ways to reroll those and a function to limit as to which ones show up but only at the start? And you need these cards equipped you get from the Darkmoon Faire or something of which there are regular and gold versions you acquire through booster packs. It's just so convoluted and to me defeats the entire point of what Ascension is about. Say you play a melee character and you could've gotten something useful like Charge yet since it's random you end up with Auto-Shot. Sure makes me wanna continue playing.

The temporay realm toons get rolled into area 52 correct at end of season? What rewards do you get for doing that content thats unique?

What is the name called after he showed runescape?

I played back in 2017 or 18? i cant remember how long ago. But I do know that I used to be in an officer in a large alliance PvE guild called The People (when the no risk realm was called Andorhol) and I ended up becoming public enemy number 1 because i made a raiding DPS build using Shadow Priest and Affliction Warlock telents and a few other things. I was taking heavy advantage of the bug with resistances that classic wow just has never been able to fix and my DoTs were doing insane amounts of damage and healing with Vamp Embrace. A horde guild named Oak really wanted me to share the build and were actively sending PvP hit squads to try and bully me into explaining what I was doing. I quit the game for FF14 after a few months and took the secret to my accounts grave. The bug apparently has long since been fixed and I have no idea if any of these guilds still exist. I had a lot of fun and have not had as much fun on wow since my Ascension days.

It's also capped at level 60, and has a ton of custom content, including the ability to play as Goblins in classic for the Horde and High Elves for the Alliance, completely new, custom starting zones for both these new races, new quests and even towns/questing hubs in old zones, new dungeons and raids, quality of life improvements such as transmog and mount and small pet tabs and a new story completely different from the Burning Crusade, while keeping that classic feel. Turtle WoW also has a population in the thousands, and the player base is chill, friendly, and always helpful. If you want a true Classic + experience, I really recommend giving it a try.

Its smart to not get invested in private servers, but they are always worth a bit of your time as they are often extremely fun and interesting. Usually private servers are safe from being shut down if they diverge from blizz-like servers which ascension has done from the beginning and continues doing today. The classic server that was hugely popular was blizz-like and blizzard had every right to shut it down sadly

Been playing Ascension for years now. Personally I don't feel like the servers are dead at all, sure the chatter can be to a min on a server like A52 when a new seasonal server drops, but you don't normally have to wait long to get a dungeon finder queue to pop either. Ascension is a love letter to anyone who loved WoW during it's TBC and WotLK days.

I tried to get into it and love the idea of it, but leveling is just way too fast to really make it worthwhile to group up with (exception would be dungeons). Like, ridiculously fast.

I've been playing since a month ago, awesome server

Started playing Project Ascension 3 years ago. I always dive into it for a couple of weeks, get bored and then come back after a big update. I've never played it enough to get to the endgame tho, my builds always sucked and I don't have the patience to make up another one or level up again (doesn't matter anyway, you can't do endgame content unless you have a meta build). The lack of endgame experience actually made me want to try retail for the first time when dragonflight launched, and I still play it to this day. Season 9 is currently VERY rng heavy and I'm not a big fan of that, so I'm waiting for the open alpha of their other big server, Conquest Of Azeroth.

I have been really impressed with Ascension. I'm a casual PvE gamer, and ascension makes the leveling part of the game a blast. I also decided to invest in Conquest of Azeroth. I also really enjoy that one, though I understand why most people would not be willing to spend money on an Alpha-stage project.

I joined Discord in 2016 because of this Game. I haven't played it in years though.

Been playing off and on for a few years now, currently actively playing it now. The server just keeps getting better every time I return, more refined and less buggy each passing day

I played long ago, waiting for CoA now, but here in video I saw (3:48) Death Knight (finally) tab. Does that mean that they finally added Death Knight abilities in the random ability server?

They added summon zombie but I really only played Area 52. Can't stand the random ability thing honestly.

@VagrantVideos I guess they still don't have dk yet, probably they will add him in wotlk expansion as it should be. Tho many years have past since I played there and tbc is still up ^^. Atleast they are doing pretty good job with CoA.

Locked to specific class: laughs in ffxiv changing my class and job every 30 seconds because i can. 😂

Ascension is a nice server,when i have time i play on CoA,before purchaseing CoA i played on area52 and seasonal servers,overall ascension is rlly good server,and CoA damn is so fckin cool

I've been playing Ascension sicne 2019. I would recomend anyone to this Private Server. It's free, and I never spend IRL money myself, and have a fun time with it! - I agree, them spiltting the player base between seasonal, and live servers are something I dislike. I only play during the new season releases, where to level cap is 60 and they go through Raid phases/releases of Molten Cote - Naxx. My personal favorite part about Ascension isn't the PvE content (Which is amazing btw). It's the High Risk PvP, it's a ton of fun to go out into the High Risk world, and farm to earn tons of gold risking it all against other players. Overall 10/10!

I'm actively playing it, already dumped over the years at least 1.5k € in it nad am not stopping anytime soon

I downloadded is because of a YT Ad and never played WoW but FF14 for over 5 Years. So Project Ascension took me with Free 2 Play, so I can explore Azzeroth without spending money

I'd give this a shot

I started playing this game yesterday

Disappointed by a single thing, I LOVE summons in video games. I base all of my custom games/campaigns around them, all my characters/mods are also based on them. I expected Ascension to allow me to have a lot of summons/pets, I was shocked to see it didn't work.

I played wow and now playing Ascension.

Warrior + Priest = Bad ass.

What's to keep blizzard/microsoft from shutting this down just like Elysium?

Technically nothing but it’s been around for years. It’s similar to other mmo private servers like Warhammer AOR, Toontown, etc.

you know that there is a free pick server where you can choose what abilities you want & talents ? You even have builds pre made by people, you can create your build and share it to

Used to be a lot more fun before they forced the rarity system onto freepick. I get why they did it cause pvp and highrisk meta babies were crying. But as someone who pretty much only prestige leveled it ruined a lot of my fun builds. I hate it when games I like get changed when other people complain when the real problem is those who are complaining just suck. Now freepick basically doesn’t exist and the seasonal random server sucks. Who wants to play classless wow where you can combine anything you want but you don’t get to pick your spells?

As someone who just recently attempted to get back into WoW with season of discovery but had to quit do to their horrible policy restricting new and returning players I'm beyond hyped this exists.

Is this sanctioned? What does Blizz say or have they not said anything? Always sucks to invest private to lose it all a few years later from C&Ds.

Because copyright law requires a 15% change or more to be fair use. Ascension is well over 15% and do not directly accept money from blizzards assets which is also another portion of a no go. Its a very grueling process for both parties to sue and counter over a private server because you have to prove malicious intent and blizzard would have to prove that ascension is stealing money from WoW by using their assets which they couldn't do.

Is this worth playing? Or will it get shut down and you just lose all that time.

Who knows. Personally I dip into p servers when I want to check out something new but I am playing retail as well.

I stumbled across the name Ascension and immediately thought to myself, what the hell is that? I've never been a fan of mixing classes in MMORPGs. I always thought it was good that certain classes were there for certain tasks, and like all other MMOs where there are no fixed classes Ascension is not the game I would enjoy. Apart from that, I'm always scared of Pay to win on private server hosted Games and I don't think it's good and don't want to support it under any circumstances, but thank you for the very informative video. Thumbs up and keep it up!!

Played it alot and enjoyed it. But got too much for me haha, sometimes too much to do and freedom 😅

İs it playable on mac
