Strike when the iron is hot (because it damn sure ain't getting any hotter then now...) Content updates every 2 years will not build a long lasting community. Gameplay that fizzles out in a couple of months dose not make a legendary game. An end raid boss that gets killed in less then a day will not challenge players and help motivate them to attempt killing it. There is no excuse on Blizzards side for not bringing these types of servers online. They have the money, manpower and palyerbase that will be glad to enjoy it.

    Help reignite the passion of hardcore World of Warcraft players by spreading the word.
    First of all the amount of people agreeing with something isn't evidence of them beeing right at all. I really think the active amount of players on an offical Blizzard vanilla realm will be way below what some people are suggesting, and Blizzard probably knows this. Nostalrius kind of went "viral" at some point and so the numbers peaked. Generally after the initial nostalgic buzz is gone people just lose interest.

    gee look at all those people who aint interested in a legacy server but at least your opinion must mean we who want something cant have and btw if iam boring you it must mean you lost the arguement!
    Oh gee wow they shut down a private server with people leeching off some of the glory years of WoW on a FREE server. What is your fucking point exactly? Does it mean all those people would pay Blizzard money to play Legacy? No? Didn't think so.

    Does it mean all those people would leave their private servers to migrate to Blizzard and PAY for what they can get for free? No? Didn't think so.

    Not really. You made a claim that the interest was extreme from 2 million hits on the Nost thread. Suddenly when someone argued with you then your stance was suddenly switched. Prove to me that it is 2 million unique hits and 31k unique replies and fair enough. Oh wait you can't.

But it's a huge fucking gamble and the cost of making/maintaining a Vanilla server without any kind of reassurance of people actually renewing the subscription is probably still not worth it.
    What is your evidence for saying that?

    Hardcore, one of those favorite buzzwords tossed around that lost meaning long ago. It is like the buzzword 'easy' people love to use when describing anything that may or may not require some skill to do.

    Millions can be wrong, look at Brexit/Colombia and Trump polling numbers.

    I like to strike when the iron is cold. Actually, its more challenging and exciting.

    So much hate.

    In the meantime, we are having fun playing Vanilla while you are having fun posting at the forums because Legion isn't worth playing.



    Have fun posting.

    Original at 3440X1440.

    P.S.: Ask yourself what was the last time you saw more than 10 players together anywhere in the game.
    Veteran vanilla player - I was 31 back in 2005 when I started playing WoW - Nostalrius raider with a top raid guild.

    So you're wrong.
    So you KNOW it hasn't been discussed by Blizzard? You know they haven't sat down to talk about it? K. Must be fucking AMAZING to live in that special world you are in. So fucking wrong it hurts. LOL.

    Oh look that useless picture of people standing around waiting on a buff.

    Gee when was the last time I saw more than 10 people anywhere? Class hall, world boss, world quests with elites, PvP, main cities. I could go on but we don't really need to debate this again do we cupcake?

    The initial rush of players are probably going to exceed one million, but I think it is going to drop quite fast. But I could definitely see 100-200k active classic players.
    And just the roleplayers alone are enough to keep classic realms a good investment. And that community sure wants the old world back, the old Stormwind Park is one of the greatest places ever made in WoW and it was also the most popular RP spot which has been shifted to the Cathedral now.

    Logic. Blizzard and their management isnt dumb, if there was a so obviously easy way to gain new customers i'm sure it would have been done already. If you look at it objectively it's simply just a huge gamble.

    Because I still log in with what game time I have and see people in the world and cities.
