Rebirth Manifesto

The Rebirth is a private community built around the enjoyment of World of Warcraft's greatest era, The Drums of War, featuring patch 1.12.1/2. This was the last major content release prior to The Burning Crusade. It is referred to as Vanilla WoW.

This community began in August of 2011 and has endured through many challenges, upgrades, and fixes to evolve into what it is today, a tight-knit group of players who enjoy what WoW was. Access to the Rebirth servers has been and always will be free. We will never accept money or other donations and there is no way to donate for status or items within the game.

Since this is true Vanilla, rates are 1x meaning you get what you earn. Depending on your game play you can find yourself raiding Onyxia in a week, or taking your time to see every bit of the terrain that you know and love day by day over months. We encourage every player to play their own way and most importantly have fun. The Rebirth is home to many players. We have a loyal base with new people joining every day. Battlegrounds are run often, instances are running well, and raiding within both factions is enthusiastic and often.

General

The rebirth is community driven. We have a chat channel called global which is currently a cross-faction source of information about the game and server. To join the channel, simply type /join global from your chat window. This chat is actively moderated, and we do take actions against players not respecting our rules.
Spamming: Please limit each message to one entry in global, nothing is that important that it needs repeating more than once every couple of minutes.
"Bad taste" comments (profanity/sexual/religion/racial): Be respectful of other players in global channels -- we are a global community, after all. While we do allow some moderate swearing in chat, keep it under control, as too much swearing, abuse, or attention-seeking may lead to being muted.
Personal conversations: If you want to communicate for long periods of time with one player, please do it via whisper or personal chat channel; not everyone is interested in hearing it. Subjecting other players to harassment is not allowed, and again could lead to a mute or other sanctions.
Advertising: Please do not use global to advertise for other servers -- you are free to discuss other realms, but do not directly advertise. Adverts for goods and services that are not relevant to the game or gameplay are not allowed.

We also expect respect for the server staff in all situations.

Donations

The Rebirth is donation free, and will never accept donations in any way. It will remain free to play, and there is no way to donate for status or items within the game. Playing on the server will always be free for everyone.

Game Account

Although sharing accounts is not against the rules, you are responsible for your own account, and all actions taken on it. No matter what unwanted action may occur from sharing your account information, you alone are solely responsible.

Botting, Hacking, Exploiting, Scamming

We do not allow botting or any other form of automation. You must be actively playing your character if engaging in combat actions.

Hacks and other programs that alter the functionality of the game beyond the default parameters are also prohibited.

Exploiting of bugs in the game content is not allowed. If you are not sure whether it is an exploit or not ask as not knowing is not an excuse.

Scamming, harrassing, or otherwise griefing other players is not allowed either.

Multiboxing

We don't allow a single keypress to perform actions on more than 1 character. IE: Pressing Keybind 1, does an action on your warrior, rogue and hunter with a single keypress (Key clone style).

A single keypress must correspond to a single action on a single character.

We also don't allow you to initiate any PvP fights while multiboxing, period. Though you are permitted to defend yourself if neccessary.
