Live data · Updated
A snapshot of the 115 World of Warcraft private servers currently listed on DivineTop: which expansions they run, how many players their owners report, what rates and languages they use, whether their websites respond, and where community votes went over the last 30 days. The figures are pulled straight from our database and refreshed every hour. Please read the methodology before quoting them, especially the population numbers, which are reported by server owners and not measured by us.
Server owners pick a player-count bracket when they list their server. We can't verify these numbers, so read them as each team's own estimate rather than a measured count.
| Expansion | 0-100 | 100-500 | 500-1,000 | 1,000-2,000 | 2,000-5,000 | 5,000+ | Total |

| Cataclysm | 6 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 11 |

| MoP | 0 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7 |
| TBC | 4 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 7 |
| Dragonflight | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
| BfA | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Shadowlands | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| WoD | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Cell shading shows each bracket's share within its expansion row. Expansions with only a few servers can swing a lot when one listing changes.
Servers in the highest reported brackets. Within a bracket, servers are ordered by weighted votes over the last 30 days and then alphabetically, not by size, because the brackets don't tell us which one is bigger.

Votes measure how actively a server's community votes on DivineTop, not how many people play there. For the combined ranking see the best WoW private servers.
Sample. Every figure covers servers listed on DivineTop, not every WoW private server in existence. A server counts as an active listing when it has been approved, hasn't been removed and isn't marked closed. Servers that are pending review, paused, rejected or deleted are left out. If a popular server has never been listed here, it isn't in these numbers.
Population. Owners and our staff choose one of six brackets (0-100, 100-500, 500-1,000, 1,000-2,000, 2,000-5,000 and 5,000+) when a server is listed or updated. We don't measure player counts, and we have no way to confirm what a server reports. Treat the brackets as self-reported.
Website checks. An automated job requests each listed server's website over HTTP and records whether it responded, along with the time of the check. It doesn't connect to the game realm or log in. "Not checked yet" means the server has no recorded check. The most recent check in this data ran on September 30, 2026 at 23:00 UTC. 115 listed servers were checked in the last 7 days.
Votes. Vote counts come from individual votes cast on DivineTop in the last 30 days. Each person can vote once per server per day. Votes from logged-in users count as 1.0 and guest votes as 0.6, and votes are rate-limited per IP address. The "weighted" figures add up the weight stored with each vote. Votes show how engaged a community is on this site, not how many people play.
Other fields. Expansion, realm type, experience rate, language, development stage and launch year are all set by the server owner on the listing. Realm types are multi-select. Reviews count top-level player reviews only, not replies.
Freshness. The report is recomputed from the database at most once an hour. This version was generated on . Percentages are rounded to one decimal place, so they may not add up to exactly 100%.
