WoW vs Maple Story

If you're going to play in a 1x private server then why not just play in the real one? Private servers seem like such a waste of time to me. It's like playing a bootleg game or watching a bootleg movie. Sure it's similar, but it's no where near as good.

I saw this video of 5 people invading stormwind on a private server. I couldn't see the point in it at all. The NPCs didn't move and there were no people on the alliance side to stop them. It was completely pointless.

I would love to play the real WoW. I'm just not going to pay anything, and the 10 day trial only lets you:
-Play for 10 days
-Max at 10g
-Max at lvl 20

I'm not going to waste money when I can play same thing with minimal differences.
