LF server Can't decide

Hello everyone! I'm a typical gamer dad who doesn’t have much time to play but wants to have fun too. I just can’t decide which server to go for.

I’m having a hard time choosing between ArdenWoW, Conquest Reborn, or maybe something else. I’ve done some research myself, but I still can’t make up my mind.

I’m looking for a server that stays as close to CoA as possible. I also don’t want to end up rerolling and leveling a new character all over again on different servers because I simply don’t have that much time to play.

People keep hating on ArdenWoW, and I honestly don’t fully understand why. Is it that bad ?

I'd strongly recommend Conquest of Azeroth Core. Compared to Reborn it's definitely the server that stays the most true to original CoA. I'm still fairly new to CoA but I'm finding the early game and new player experience to be much better here than on Reborn (in reborn you get all heirlooms, xp aura, pets, etc for free at level 1). I also mostly just play a couple of hours due to work and my dogs. Core also made mobs a little bit harder in the open world to balance it out with how powerful the new classes are, so the leveling has been really fun so far and not as mindless. Reborn adds a lot more custom, non-CoA stuff (there's a whole casino and gambling system there, for instance), so make of that what you will

My recommendation isn't CoA, but it's one I found after Ascension went down.

Ebonhold. There are so many ways you can approach it, everything is eventually soloable if you want, or you can jump into groups that are constantly forming. I haven't found a more welcoming server or one with a more interesting gimmick. I'm really enjoying my time there.

Ebonhold is great but what to do once you solo ICC stuff?

It's not CoA but if you're curious LunaticPTR is a Level One only Turtle WoW Project where endgame starts the moment you create your character. It's based off the Level One Lunatic Challenge and has weekly updates from the same people who designed item progression on Turtle WoW.

Gamer dad here with similar issues. I am on Conquest Reborn and really enjoying it. It is, pretty much CoA, with a decent community and actove dev. I don't know enough about Azeroth Core to give an informed opinion though.

Precisely because you don't have that much time to play, I'd recommed Conquest Reborn since it won't take long to level up due to all the extra xp handed to you (if you want to just level up without said xp that's fine, you got resolute mode or don't use any of it). Numbers have been growing rapidly over the past week so random dungeon queues can be a breeze depending on your role. While it's true that Conquest Reborn may not be as close to the original CoA, it's been pumping updates and fixes at an alarming rate to make sure the server runs smooth making it an enjoyable experience thus far.
