A competing tracker, privateserverhub.com, publishes a server list with per-project pages that name each project's website. We diffed their 75 pages against our 149 entries. Sixteen were missing from ours. One turned out to be ours already. Fourteen are new entries as of today, all verified first-party rather than copied from their pages.
Their pages were used for one thing only: finding the project URLs. Every fact in our entries comes from reading the project sites ourselves, because a competitor's research is a lead, not a source.
The one that was already ours
Their Duskhaven Reforged page points at duskhaven.net, which is our existing Duskhaven entry's address. Same Vanilla+ project, same missing launch date. Not a new server.
Our entry now notes it is also listed under the fuller name, and keeps dev since their page describes a closed PTR we could not verify first-party behind the site's Cloudflare challenge.
The fourteen, each in one line
| Server | What it is | Tier basis |
|---|---|---|
| Blackout-WoW | Spanish 255 custom, Tier 1-35 across 35 raids, 45+ world bosses, claims no P2W | unknown, no counter published |
| GeekServers | French operator, three realms: Vanilla since 2009, TBC since 2011, plus Fresh | unknown, no counter published |
| MGAWoW | Two realms, custom WotLK plus blizzlike Vanilla, claims no P2W | unknown, no counter published |
| NaerZone | Spanish WotLK community, fix packs weekly | unknown, no counter published |
| Nozdor | Russian x5, new world DUNE opens October 16 | unknown, no counter published |
| PandaWoW | MoP 5.4.8, 360 online across three realms | small, site's own 360 |
| ShadowForge | WotLK Icecrown realm at Fall of the Lich King, recruit-a-friend x14 | unknown, no counter published |
| Synastria | Registrations disabled, entire site is one line | dev, nothing playable for new players |
| Vault of Hatred | TBC PvP with playerbots and a party builder, live registration | unknown, no counter published |
| Waloria | Open Alpha on 3.3.5a, scaling difficulty, procedural loot | dev, self-described alpha |
| Way of Elendil | French WotLK since 2006, 262 connected | small, site's own 262 |
| WoW Patagonia | Argentinian progressive WotLK, per-player x1-x4 rates, 975 online | medium, site's own 975 |
| WOW Hardcore | Vanilla permadeath, Cloudflare-walled | unknown, could not read anything |
| Elwynn Server | Vanilla+ project, site serves an invalid certificate | dev, nothing readable |
| RebirthWoW | Spanish WotLK with bots, opened October 1 | unknown, no counter published |
Three entries carry population bands, all from the projects' own live counters read today. Twelve are unknown, because their sites publish no figure and we do not invent one.
One of the sixteen was evaluated and not added. Mythic Dawn has no website, only a Discord invite, and creating an entry with no URL would manufacture exactly the kind of sourceless record this tracker has spent a week eliminating. It stays out until it has an address.
The dated claim: Nozdor's DUNE opens October 16
Nozdor's front page announces a new world called DUNE opening 16 October, with no year stated. Read in context it is the coming October 16.
That is now the third dated private-server claim on our calendar alongside UwowSA's October 10 content drop and uWoW's October 16 realm opening. Two launches on the same day, one Russian and one international. We will re-check all three on their dates and publish the results either way.
Hour of Twilight finally has an address
One of our six never-dated dev entries just got its first URL. houroftwilight.net resolves and lands on the project's Discord invite, which read 5,291 members with 1,688 online.
Twelve guessed domains across two batches found nothing because the project lives at .net and every guess was .com. The entry keeps dev with the Discord figures recorded as their widget, and a third-party description of an ARPG-style project in testing since 2021 is noted as their claim.
Their closed list versus our entries
Their site publishes a closed list with dates and reasons. It makes claims about seven of our entries, and we have recorded each as their claim, not as our finding:
- Classic Plus, Feenix, Galaxyofdrone, GryffinWow, True Azeroth, Valanior: listed closed, undated. Converges with our dead domains but supplies no date, so all six stay as they are rather than dead.
- Dalaran-WoW: listed closed, undated. Conflicts with the administered 503 page we read October 3. Both recorded, neither dated, rating kept.
Five closed projects on their list that we never tracked (Firemaw, Warborn, WotLKPlus, Best, Forgotten Land) are not added, because none carries a shutdown date and our dead-entry gate requires one. A dateless dead entry is exactly the kind of value this tracker refuses to publish.
What we are taking from their operation, stated openly
They publish an llms.txt, regenerated hourly, with their ranking formula disclosed: reviews 50%, estimated population 35% on a log scale, years online 15%. They publish aggregates per expansion, a closed list with successors, and a monthly small-server vote. Those are good ideas, stated as theirs, and worth learning from rather than copying. Our own llms.txt exists but is thinner, which is now a queued improvement.
SOURCES: each project's own site, read October 4 2026 with a control domain probed in the same batch; privateserverhub.com's server pages and llms.txt, used solely to discover project URLs and clearly labelled wherever their claims appear in our entries; mutop100's calendar for the RebirthWoW opening date, likewise labelled as their claim. Player counts are the projects' own widgets, self-reported. We did not create accounts, did not play, and for two entries could not read past a Cloudflare wall or a broken certificate.
