Was up ppl. I'm finally going to start playin WoW and I'm lookin 4 a smaller, not so crowded, mature server. Im a rebel and I always rebel against anything mainstream so havent played WoW yet (well I did play a free trial 4 a few days but I didnt really give it a fair shot). So normally I play LotRO and I love the community, and ppl are always talkin shit on WoWs community, but as I know there are tards everywhere. Anyways, Im 25 years old and Im lookin 4 a server (or realm) that has a more mature base, I love PvE, PvP, and I will be lookin to get into an active guild. I run a Kin on lotro and I have some cool ppl that'll hold it down while Im gone. I havent created a toon yet but I will soon and Im gonna go with Alliance, not sure what race but I think Ima make a Palladin ( is that human only?? lol). If any guilds would like to take me in I dont like any suber-uber bosey guilds ( I like to have fun and work together, not be told what to do, but I love good advice). I play an MMO from anywhere between 4 and 10 hours a day (sometimes an all-nighter on weekends with a baddass raid!) and sometimes I dont play for a week. I love music, mostly punk (not emo) well......emos' aight , I have a great, non-conservative sinse of humor and I dont take the game too seriously (cept when it gets serious, like in a raid), I have great teamwork and I really learn how to use my toon classes or is that proffesions in WoW, Im used to LotRO.

So anyway, my main question is.....Which server is mature and not so populated??  (my main reason is my PC is kinda low-end at the moment and I might get kinda laggy) 

I would not suggest going to a smaller server.  Even though the content has been made easier, i would think most wont see it in a smaller server

There are mature people in every server, you just have to go out and look for them. 

WoW and Maturity are antonyms.

try the server grizzly hills. its new and no one can transfer toons onto it yet so if you want a smaller community this might be the one for you

I don't think any server on any game would be able to house only maturity, but I would recommend going roleplay server (if you are in fact roleplay).  Having played many, I tend to gravitate towards Farstriders, though there are low rp servers like Scryers or Steamwheedle Cartel.  My recommendation is to find a mature guild.  Then you can leave all the general channels and hang with them. 

Don't worry too much about the community levelling up, the real social delights from WoW come from your guild at the end game, or near the end game.  

On all realm you will find certain guilds require a high level of maturity, ones that swiftly remove any obvious trouble.   Joining one of these should be your goal - not a guild some guy created just because he wanted a cool tabbard.  Once you're part of a regular, active guild the background noise of the realm feels kind of muted.

Make friends and mingle with people with similar ideals to you, and your game experience will be boosted ten-fold.

 Good luck.

Beat me to it 

Agreed on Grizzly Hills.  Also, you may want to check out one of the RP servers.

I play on Fenris, which is one of the lower population servers (although we do have a queue now and then).   I don't think any server is going to be more mature than any other server (on average), it's all about finding a decent guild.

My friends and I run a guild called Twilight Prophecy that is for newer players ( a safe place to ask a lot of questions and get a little help), we also have a seperate endgame raiding guild.

Come to URSIN.   We're a fun group.  Good people on both sides.

Thanx 4 all the help and suggestions people. Your all right. I'm getting to know a few cool people so far on the realm I joined (Black Dragonflight), and I'm really liking the community so far. You know alot of people talk shit on WoW's community, but damn! its huge of course theres gonna be some idiots. I find if you dont participate in the dumbshit, theres a bunch of cool people right there with you. Great game tho, so far I know why its the most popular MMO. I just cant wait to find a good guild to do some BG, arena and raiding.

Glad to read that you're enjoying the game! 

Happy Holidays!

EDIT:

Never mind.

 Come join us on Coilfang and the Guild Hate.  We are a "mature" group that do dungeons together and stuffz.. Contact Nyvin if you log on.

OH MY GOD! Congratulations. You have just joined the most immature, obnoxious and arrogant server in the whole of the North American servers. You dont believe me? 

Look at their forums. Especially look for a guild called Loot Crusade and their leader Sikk. I'll give you a little taste of what BDF is about. media.putfile.com/sikk-boom .  (EXTREME LANGUAGE WARNING. Do not listen in front of children or public place) Oh, you think someone like Sikk is disliked on BDF? Nope, hes pretty much reverred as a hero and the Champion of WoW. Hope you didn't roll Horde. Its mandatory for all horde BDF to worship the guy. I couldn't find the vent recording of Sikk in a Gruul's Lair pug abusing a girl and shouting "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?". Check out the guild Forgotten Heroes and a charming fellow by the name of Balro - the self confessed greatest hunter in all of WoW.

How do I know what about BDF? I took the PvE to PvP transfer on my paladin from Hyjal back in 2006. I stayed on BDF for over 2 years but got off when the idiots got too much.

But most of all enjoy their forums forums.worldofwarcraft.com/board.html . Enjoy the fascinating and mature thread about Buddhist (famous for his pvp videos) and Ingy. Enjoy the trolling and drama that BDF provides.

Enjoy joining pugs for raids only to have the raid leader switch to master loot and giving all the loot to his friends and then laughing about it. Enjoy having the BDF community condone that sort of behaviour.

Sorry to tell you this, but you just made the worst mistake you'll ever make in WoW. Hope it didnt cost you too much money :(

Sure, there are decent people on BDF. But most of them have transferred off but theres still a few. But if you're looking for a mature server, you could virtually pick any other small-medium sized North American realm and be better off.

Here's some more highlights from Black Dragonflight and the legendary Sikk.

How do you feel now about your beloved WoW now, Pappy? Feel proud of the sort of people who play it, huh? Yup, all those 11.5 million are intelligent, great people. I mean WoW MUST be a great game with people like Sikk playing and continually subscribing? LONG LIVE WOW!

C'mon WoW fanbois. Defend the greatness of that is WoW.

As for the OP. Everyone makes mistakes.

And waiting for idiotic reply from son of seth.

*Added language warnings.

I play with a few friends on Proudmoore, Horde side. I'd say go for a more populated server, but not overpopulated. If you decide to join Proudmoore, you can add me. I just made a new alt earlier today.

PM me for my IGN.
