Poll: If they announce legacy would you play them?

  1. #601
    As a player who has been playing since day 2 of Vanilla, I wouldn't.

    The most legitimate thing about "legacy" content is that server communities are more meaningful. That is not something you can bring back with a legacy server because the demographic of the player has changed greatly as well, and the same demographic group that play the game now have different expectation than the same group 10 years ago.
    Aside from that it's mostly just nostalgia.

    Its a Sunday night (or very early Monday morning for you EU people). That's not uncommon for any MMO to be "dead" during those hours.

    As for the OP, I would play on them occasionally. I remember those days clearly and though raiding was a whole other ballgame back then, the grind to get ready for raiding or even to get to 60 was a bitch. Casters had to drink after ever 3-4 pulls unless they were a lock that already had lifetap/drain. Hunters had to upgrade their bullets/arrows every so often after hitting different levels & had to refill their ammo pack or quiver) and had 1 less bag space than everyone else because they had to use one of those things.

    Not sure if you know this but they increased the servers "capacity" during legion, all of servers suddenly dropped by population "rank" due to increase size.
    So medium -> low ect ect

    He knows perfectly well.

    And he knows that it's 5 AM or really early in a lot of EU territories on a Monday when the work/school week usually starts.

    He can't even use 'vacation' as excuse, as they were last week for many.

    On top of often having (depending on the instance) to CC up to 3 mobs at once (Fear juggling 2 with Curse of Recklessnes, and Seducing a 3rd).

    Yep. 2 buttons.
    I raided as a warlock through MC BWL Ony and parts of naxx.

    You cast CoE or CoS whenever it would fall off, and then you just used shadow bolt/ whatever AoE you had, with life tap and bandages (cause siphon life was aff, and drain life was garbage), or one of your 3 healthstones/pots. So basically you just used shadow bolt (because of the dot cap limit you could never get to use corruption/siphon/immolate).

    How would you mog them? Vanilla didn't have transmog.

    Yeah, I read it incorrectly. I addressed this. I read it as all players could not clear heroic Legion content. Totally misread the statement.

    Thats assuming they allow collection of Mogs even if you cant mog it in the Vanilla server. It stands to reason they need something more than old content to drag people in.

    Kinda defeats the purpose of legacy servers if you add in a bunch of crap from several expansions later

    People wanted Legacy, meaning no mogging, though. Can't have it all.

    I've been playing on a fairly decently sized private server for a few weeks now, and I think I can say that "yes, I would play on a legacy server if Blizzard released one". However, I must say that playing vanilla really reminds me of how bad the game was, especially in the case of playable class/specc variations as well as how grindy it is. If the legacy server was running TBC then I'd very happily play. I've always felt TBC was more of just a pure improvement upon vanilla, "vanilla+" if you may.

    Exactly.

    I said this in the other thread.

    "I want vanilla with modern QoL features such as transmog"

    "I want vanilla with LFR/LFD"

    So basically you don't want Vanilla but more a warped version of it? Make up your damn minds.

    I'd play it, realize how bad the game was way back when, and never touch it again.

    I wish you legacy clowns would just stop, your wet dream will never happen, all you have left is faping to your vanilla CD's in a dark corner.
