If raiding capital cities doesn't crash Light's Hope, it won't crash a Blizzard server, and a Blizzard server won't be nearly that populated.
All I'm saying is that people forget the pain that happened during the vanilla days. It's a good thing private servers can handle big crowds now, but back when WoW first came out, the servers didn't. However, if you want the true experience, do you want all the bugs and issues with it? Seems like some things are okay to fix, and some aren't, and there is a pretty fuzzy line on what is okay to fix.

I want drinking while already sitting to dismount everyone in a 50 yard radius of me, dammit!
