The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
Season of Discovery Hotfixes - 23 April
An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events
MMO-Champion
Greetings champions, good to see you all!
Well, classic is coming, and we all know by now how time-consuming classic can be: leveling in itself is a journey that can take months and months until you get to cap (which is cool!). That got me thinking: Are you "prepared" for this?
A lot of classic players are now adults with families, jobs, and etc, and probably can't spend a lot of time with gaming. Will you play Classic despite the numerous time consuming tasks and quests that the game had?

If I play classic it will have to be on a lighter schedule. Would enjoy doing some raiding (only got to do MC/Ony/ZG/AQ20) but I'm unsure how much time I would have to put in. I never played on a private server but to my understanding the content can be cleared pretty quick now.
More than likely I will take my time to level and probably mess around with PVP.

People can book time off work for launch when Blizzard announce the exact date, it's not unheard of.

I was an adult with kids and a full time job in 2004.
I leveled slowly, but still made it to end game and raided MC/ZG/AQ/BWL.
It dumbfounds me that some people think the only way to play the game is to no life it.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE "FIRST" TO ENJOY WOW CLASSIC.Push it to the limit

You won't dump quite as many hours into it since you can trade loot. It's one of those QoL changes for blizzard and players that reduce time on the treadmill overall.

Hey, haven't seen you around for some time.

Well, I won't be able to invest much time seeing as my work schedule will be pretty tight, but I am looking forward to spending as much time as possible without overdoing it. Don't care if I don't do well in it, just want to experience it. I suspect there'll be a complete content drought for retail when classic is released so no issues there.

Doubt I'll make it to Zul'Gurub, but I'll give it a try.

Been there, done that. I'm not a nostalgic person. I choose to let the past stay in the past.

I play for about an hour to two a week now, just to complete my +10 for the week and some world quests/raid bosses if time permits. Will increase it a bit on new patches, etc but other than that no. I have the time but I don't find it fun to log in to WoW (partially because I play prot warrior and doing anything above 13-14 with a pug as a prot warrior gets you laughed at, even with a high RIO score).

probaly not - i have experienced classic when it was released back on 2004 and enjoyed every minute of it,
I am just waiting for those forum posts from snowflakes whinging how hard it was just to get to a Quest NPC small boss and having to clear mobs one by one,
I may have a dabble for a few hours for old times sake, but been there and seen everything since 2004,
I do hope you enjoy it, and appreciate how piss easy you really have it these days

Yes, I have something like 300 days played in WoW overall, so adding a few more to play Classic isn't a big deal and looks to be some nostalgic good times.
