Classic World of Warcraft Discussion [Megathread]

Adn how would that be different with Vanilla? How long would vanilla be fun? With even less content and updates than live version?

You realize Vanilla servers have existed for years and are still going strong ?

[zorkuus]

Gradually turned to shit over time. Respect is worth more than trading a few sub fees for Ruby Sanctum, I'm sorry, but it is.

Still no clear answer. You said blizz never returned any respect to you. So that must mean you've been having a miserable time all the time.

Sure. People try it for a month or two and a small percent of them stay for years. Is that going strong?

Post 4.0, Blizzard didn't return any respect in terms of what WoW was. Past that point, the social game was abandoned. That's what I intend to say when I say there was a lack of respect.

20% minimum is not small; for a server that is not officially developed, run off of the developers free time, in a small team, with no proprietary tools at their disposal.

As long as the community existed, and was incentivized to continue existing through the design philosophy of the game being pro-MMORPG, instead of pro-solo.

most of them -if not all- were removed for players like the one you are answering to lol


These small things made wow special: ammo, reagents, blue gear, pet happiness.

Now we are playing an arcade version of wow, on super easy

Yet people want OFFICIAL Legacy servers that they will have to subscribe to access, so the question is valid.

Don't say never then.

Well as much fun as watching Zorkuus bait people until his bed time for a fifth day in a row would be; I'm gonna bail

That sure looks like something you tell to yourself to persuade you of your pre-existing opinion instead of something that's actually factual.

[Sassafrass]

I played on Nostralius a little before stopping, mainly because I didn't want to put months of effort into character(s) that could be easily lost. Just like what happened.
I also had rather meh ping to the server so that wasn't great. It was still a lot of fun though.

If Blizzard released a Classic server I'd come back and pay to play on it.
Until then I'll just keep the retail version uninstalled and watch what happens *shrug*



The most insulting thing about this whole drama is the people who are so full of themselves that they're flat out telling others their opinions are wrong. That they don't actually want to play an older version of the game, or "it's just nostalgia"
SWG and Runescape are the first things that come to mind when I read that tripe. It's not always "just nostalgia"

actually, we want the difficulty and experience of vanilla. Not vanilla itself. Though Vanilla would be more than welcome too

What? No, this is still the funniest place on the internet right now

Bruh, semantics. If you've ever seen me post on here in LITERALLY A TRILLION YEARS, I tend to use hyperbole for the purpose of getting over the notable shit that nobody would otherwise read.

I don't think you speak for all of you.

I think you are part of another group then. Nostalrius is about getting the same exact vanilla there was originally.

BS. There is over 500 pages with former Nost members wanting an official Legacy server with 1.12.1.

both of you, read all my post. Vanilla is more than welcome, but its the actual experience and difficulty that is desired

It's a general mindset. If people want classic legacy servers, it's most likely true that the same people would enjoy a conceptually accurate, but modern iteration. It's not like we're hipsters that desire to experience the same shitty server lag, or want the graphics to get worse.

any evidence for that or are you just making shit up?

You say that, but I saw a lot of posts that wan't exactly that. Worse graphics, Class imbalance, hunter weapons. All the fun of the past decade.

Nost's sub numbers are evidence enough for me
