    Let's get together!

    Greetings to all of you fans of World of Warcraft Classic. I wondered, why there ia no one big community for all fans, like we are? So it turns out, here it is! <snip> this is a site with news and forums related to vanilla wow.
    Let's all gather in one place where we can communicate, discuss, share impressions and memories.Together we will make this community big and strong! As Albert Einstein said: Man can find meaning in life only through devoting himself to society.

    You mean like a sub forum on an existing fan site? With almost 1000 threads, and 50,000 posts? Man I wish something like that existed...

    Enjoy your ban for advertising your crappy site and your vain attempt to poach users.

    Can people like you actualy use arguments or just insults? Why am I narrow minded? Because if I'm told that I'll get Vanilla WoW I expect the game to be as close to the original as possible?
    Basicaly it looks like this: tell FIFA fan that next game he will get is his favourite FIFA and then give him PES and expect him to be happy. If not - call him narrow minded.

    Yes, because a person can't play retail, and also be interested in vanilla, either as is or, "vanilla+". SMH
    by all means... enjoy worldofclassic.net

    I wonder when (if) people will realise that mixing retail with vanilla (that's what all pro-changes people realy want) won't make anyone happy. It won't be retail, it won't be vanilla. It will some weird creation stitched from elements of both, not liked by both groups.
    But go ahead. You can mock me (and other vanilla fans) as much as you wan't if that makes you feel superior or whatever.

    First of all, advertising is a no no.
    Secondly, who cares?
    Third and last, even with sites like those, the community would still be scattered among many sites.

    Means, it'll be less if people went on another site to do it.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    I'm mocking your black and white attitude, not your purist view on vanilla.

    Is there a difference for the purist who dont want a Battle net integration for playing a Blizard product or a retailers who wants Karazhan in Vanailla ?

    The site looks fantastic. Where do I go to not sign up!!!!

    I'm not even a classic fan but i can see through this post. That site is just a lame way to get email addresses and then sell them off

    The level of ego here is astonishing. It's not about my view or opinion. Neither is it about yours or all trolls here. It's about what will make people put their money on the table. Change vanilla too much and Blizzard will lose potential revenue from people who want vanilla to be as pure as possible. And only reason to do that is to make people who are paying subscription anyway happy. You see logical argumant for vanilla to be vanilla here? Or still you are more focused on your flawed approach of mocking people with different opinion?

    Tell you the truth I don't want Vanilla changed a lot but do think some QoL things should be added, classes/specs balanced, and maybe some type of different PvP system that doesn't force you to have 2 people play 1 character or have health problems after reaching Grand Marshal. Only add QoL when you can ask if it will affect the social structure, gameplay, or traveling/exploring the game. If you answer no to all 3 of these and it would make the game more enjoyable then I don't mind if they add it.

    That being said I am not worried about the purists that do leave and everyone else shouldn't be either. Look at it this way. If you do these things then the player base will grow exponentially. What the "purists" that will leave make up a small fraction of the player base. For example if they balance classes/specs. Only 25% of specs are playable in high end raids or PvP. So a small fraction of the 25% are "purists" that will leave if there are any changes. With the 75% of other specs now playable also, you gained a ton more players that can finally play their favorite spec in Vanilla. The amount of money and players that blizzard will gain just from this 1 tweek alone makes it worth it. Fiddle with a couple numbers on a spread sheet, test it out a little bit, and bam you suddenly have balanced specs.

    To all the purists out there with your elitist attitudes. Don't let the door hit ya in the rear on your way out. For dramatic effect I will be waving in the window as you do the walk of shame away lol.

    First off you need to stop looking at this as some sort of last ditch effort/cash grab. I'm actually still of the opinion that Blizzard needs to thumb their noses at all of you. Your ungrateful and indignant attitude is quite frankly disgusting, and very unbecoming for someone who is most assuredly of an age to know better. Your behavior is that of a bratty child.

    This is your reality check! Wake up! As a current subscriber, I too want classic to be PURE. I've said that, and yet you're still fucking coming at me like I'm the opposition. Again, I mock you not for opinion (which isn't different than mine btw ) I mock you for your inability to see it as anything other than us vs them, black and white, all or nothing.

    You have the same issues as the OP from this thread:
    Why Blizzard shouldn't listen to people with an active subscription?

    Because those people are not supposed to play on Classic Servers. The plan is to bring people that quit back to play Classic and probably try to move them to play BfA or whatever expansion is current at the time, not to dilute Wow's player base.

    Assume for a second that the people that want classic that quit, and the people that also want classic and continued to subscribe, liked the same things about vanilla.

    Who then would you listen to?

    Your fair weather friend?

    or

    Your loyal consumer, who has stuck with you through thick and thin?

    There is an obvious choice there. Honestly, your plea sounds like nothing more than exclusionary tactics because... reasons.

    Your issue is that you can't see people enjoying both. You assume that classic is specifically designed to bring back players that have quit... it isn't. You also assume that players that have quit, have done so for one solitary reason... the game changed. I am so happy that I am the one who gets to tell you, that there are a plethora of other reasons why players have quit this game.

    This is the fatal flaw in your logic. Coincidentally your HUGE blind spot, makes you ill suited to be "listened to".

    /thread
    People can be currently subscribed AND be interested in playing vanilla, and not be interested in the vanilla+ (as I like to call it) that some people are asking for. But you have this disdain and hatred, an inappropriate and unwarranted disrespect for people that continued to play and enjoy the game after you stopped playing. Because WE are stupid, and YOU are enlightened. Fuck off! The only ego here is yours and it definitely needs to be deflated.

    No, subscribers are not the least bit hateful to me. I just expressed my concern that there are already a lot of change requests from retail players (at least on this forum). Besides, i don't believe that anyone can be fully invested in both games.
