Kronos, Valkyrie, and Rebirth are all existing stable 1.12.1 client wow private servers. In order of quality of scripting the order is as I listed them above, in my humble opinion.

In regards to soon-to-be released 1.12.1 private server projects, the one you listed is the only one I'm aware of. But there is a HUGE population of players about to be cut loose, and I would be incredibly surprised if the Feenix server project didn't make an attempt to jump start a fresh release of one.

There are literally none. Vanilla is the absolute worst to replicate and perfect because it's SO old and there's not much info at all about it. WotLK and above are easy to give a go at. This is likely the last time you'll play Vanilla, unless you flock over to Kronos.

Just do me a favor, don't let Blizzard win. Keep joining new servers if the one you're on gets shut down. DO NOT let them win.

According to Daemon's statement, Nostalrius' code will be released to the public, so any developer interested in building upon it, rather than from scratch, will have a shot at it. Progressively turning it into public domain. So long as there are people willing to commit their time and energy upon it, nothing will stop it. We have been able to figure out the way things worked in vanilla just using old links, wayback internet machine and common sense. It might be a difficult feat, but it's not insurmountable.

I do not feel like doing this again to have it taken away over and over

I know, but without meaning to sound patronizing, that's just life. At least if you want to do something meaningful anyway.
You have to summon the courage to face what seems hopeless, and find the willpower to pick your own broken and beatdown ass when a big obstacle or failure comes your way. And to do that, again, again, and again.

It is the only way.
Or, one can give in and accept someone else decide what will be one's fate.

Why?? So i can spend another six months building up a character......just to loose him? No thanks.

If you had fun playing, then it is not wasted time.

There is nothing Blizz can do to break my spirit! Retail is garbage, and I will never play it. I'll continue rolling on Vanilla servers, no matter how many times they get shut down.

Like your mindset. Keep on truckin. I hope I find a legit alternative sometime soon.

Agreed, don't put your head down.
I have kept my eye on vanilla private servers for over half a decade now, and I can tell you, when I first started following the 2 or 3 projects that existed back then, it was all handled by 2 or 3 developers that could go drunk and delete the database out of spite, and where you needed GM assistance to complete such terribly complex as the level 10 get-your-voidwalker quest.

We've come a long way since then, and Nost set a new high mark in what independent volunteer developers can achieve. So long as the people committed to this game connect with each other, share their code, share their fixes, communicate and keep working, better things are bound to happen. When a grassroots initiative is so strong, no amount of artificial stifling truly manages to shut people off

Went on the Kronos sever, and over 2000 people have transfered there in such few little time lol. That server is shocked, and they are pleased to have us according to some of the 60's " gonna be great to spam kill them new alli's that are leveling " xD

Kronos is garbage with item shop gold trading and account selling even ingame on channels thats ridiculous.
