Beware of suspicious legacy servers

Dear community,
Since Nostalrius shut down, several legacy servers have been created, and continue to emerge. While some are aiming to provide the same experience that Nostalrius did, a memorable journey through Azeroth, others do not care about the community at all and are only attempting to make money as fast as possible.

Be aware that by providing your personal email, username or password, these people are creating databases they can later resell, compromising your personal data. With such databases, people with nefarious intents might then try to compromise more sensitive accounts, like those you might have on other legacy servers, or worse, your personal retail account. As a consequence, try to always use different email, username & password.
Another piece of advice is not to start on a new legacy server unless you can have some proof of what they have done, and do not provide any donations unless you have solid information on the project in question. Asking for a PTR prior to any time/money investment can be a good way to confirm that what is promised is indeed in line with the specification provided. Don't forget that in the end, as a community you have the power.
As a reminder, we do not endorse any other legacy servers.
Be very careful with any server project claiming otherwise or using the Nostalrius name.
Best regards,
Nostalrius.

A dream you dream together is reality.
