The idea of making a server without addons is a great idea that brings something new to the world of the old expansion.
Over the last 10 years, I've probably seen a lot of tbc projects that tried to stick to x1 ratings , without donations for game items, etc. And each time, sooner or later, this led to fading away without even reaching isle of queldanas.
No matter what anyone says about lvling x1 and old dungeons with 2-3 people, this completely discourages most people from starting to play here.The majority of players cannot afford to level up a character for 2-4 hours a day for a couple of months only to see that at level 70 he has nowhere to go and no one to go with.
Also the idea of helping 24/7 all newplayers with attunements and millions of normals does not lead to anything good, because 90% of them simply leave the server after the first karazhan or even earlier for many reasons... and you just burn out when this continues for a month or more.
In my opinion it would be great to move away from the fullblizzlike concept. Focus on the fact that the server is without addons, add some incentives for faster leveling for people up to level 58
