What game first sparked your interest in gaming? Was it World of Warcraft?
MMO-Champion
What a waste of time that was...resources could of been spent better allocated somewhere else.

So an appropriate representation of how vanilla was.

And you think Vanilla was any better? News for you, the demo was faster due to the health regen not being like vanilla.

Compared to the current game vanilla was bad, slow and boring so that sounds about right

What if I told you that a lot of people actually kind of enjoy that slow, deliberate style of RPG, instead of the braindead hack-and-slash ARPG Live has become?

Nothing lasts forever, as they say.
But at least I can casually play Classic and remember when MMORPGs were good.

It's immersive and feels like an entire world to explore though. And the demo is just a tiny portion of Vanilla, it's easy to get bored if you don't have it entirely. Not that I imagine seeing the whole thing would change your mind. It's not for everyone.

Just because something is slow, doesnt make it methodical. And retail is still a rpg, with or without the 'A'. Regardless of your opinion or bias. Originally Posted by MasterHamster

Live is still definitely an RPG, but it's a lot closer to an ARPG built around 30min-1h sessions of dopamine rushes, than it's MMORPG roots of spending a lot of time achieving tangible goals. Originally Posted by Molvonos
