Donāt listen to all the negative naysayers on this post. All youāll get on these boards is a solid wall of whining, QQ and misery.
Theyāre angry about server imbalance, theyāre angry about bots, theyāre angry about not having RDF, theyāre angry about perceived bugs in the game, theyāre angry about class imbalance, theyāre angry about pretty-much everything, and while some of their complaints are legitimate they take the negativity too far, and describe it as a ābroken gameā, when clearly it isnāt given that there are hundreds of thousands of people playing it and enjoying it.
In truth WotLK Classic is always well-worth playing, with the following caveats:
If your the kind of person who has a mindset of world firsts, speed running, meta/min/maxing/BIS/parsing who has no interest in anything but rushing through top tier raid content at breakneck speed with top progression guilds then itās fair to say that youāre going to have problems playing catch-up.
If you prefer PvP then youāre going to find that some BGs may be challenging due to various issues which do include faction imbalance among other things.
Some of the massive mega-servers are Horde dominated. The reason for this is mostly due to the min/max/meta thing I mentioned earlier as it is perceived that Horde racials are āsuperiorā to Alliance racials. Early in the days of WoW Classic the big-name streamers and Youtube influencers made a huge deal about playing only Horde, and only on PvP servers for the ābest experienceā. Consequently everyone and their dog rolled Horde, joined a PvP server, and joined one of the huge megaservers.
If you like crowded highly-competitive megaservers swarming with players then youāll likely want to roll on one, but if you prefer a more chilled experience you may wish to avoid them. It really depends on your playstyle.
You may also experience some problems getting groups for low level dungeons due to said removal of the RDF tool. Personally I think removing it was a mistake on Blizzardās part, but thatās just me.
Thereās also some people who say they have issues finding spots for PuG raids and L80 dungeons due to very high gear/performance expectations for invites ā characterised by the dreaded Gearscore addon. This seems to be far worse on the megaservers, as they have a far higher player pool to choose from and so can afford to be highly selective.
Personally I donāt care about any of that, I donāt play on a megaserver, and I only play with friends of guildies, but again, thatās just me.
If you do decide to join, my advice would be to find a good, decent, friendly guild. Donāt just accept an invite from the first random whisper you get.
Good luck.
