One purpose I see for putting up such a server would be for e.g. a
fansite to create renders of ingame items. Another thing I've been
thinking about is for people that want to make ingame movies, a private
server would give you freedoms you can't get in the normal game, and
that can help to get the shot or effect you want for your WoW movie.
In any case, I don't think you'll be able to 'enjoy' the game on there.
They're unstable as hell, a lot of talents and abilities don't work.
There are no instances, no battlegrounds, no honour system, a useless
Auction House, and about 10 other players you can group with (<-
speculations, have too few spare time that I'd waste it on a rogue
server...)
