Some unique features on my AU wotlk server (city invasions, companion pet mutations, & gambling)
Hi all, I'm hosting an AU-based WotLK server for Oceania players: onlyfunswow.com
Aside from the usual mods you see on most servers, I've built a few unique ones that add new ways to play the game and just more content overall.
City Invasions:
New factions attack the Alliance and Horde capital cities on a weekly basis. These factions have their own NPCs and bosses, and if players don't defend in time, they will overrun the map, take the city, and kill every NPC in it. Players need to work together to clear out the invaders if they want their city back. Invasions come with custom bosses and rewards, and more factions and bosses are on the way.
Critter Crusader:
Companion pets have essentially become Pokemon. Each pet rolls random stat boosts and penalties, plus a unique mutation for each class. You can find them across different activities, and the stat and mutation rolls are always random. Right now the mutations let every class solo raids and progress without a group. Down the track there will be mutations that fundamentally change how a class is played.
Gambling:
Visit Nogg the Bookmaker and bet on a number of weekly books driven by the players: bosses killed, elites killed, materials gathered, player deaths and more. The books change every week and work like Polymarket or Sportsbet. Winners get access to the back room vendor at the same NPC, selling stuff you won't find on the auction house, and it's a decent way to make gold too. And yes, you can try to rig the system.
New class/race combos:
Undead Paladins and Dwarf Shamans are playable on the server. You'll need to download a small client patch for them.
Awakening talents:
You can put points into a second talent tree while ignoring the usual 5 points per tier rule, so you can go as deep as you want. You can also farm Demon Hearts (a custom currency) to unlock 10 extra talent points to spend as Awakened talents.
Other features

My aim is to keep expanding the custom content on this server, and hopefully everyone enjoys it and has a good time. No cash shop at all. If you're interested, come check it out. Cheers.
