WoW Classic

It's going to be hilarious when the kids who never played vanilla realize how ***** hard the game was compared to the easy-mode mechanics introduced in later expansions.

 

I give it 3-4 months before Classic is down to just a few thousand people playing.

Probably. If you play it backwards, it says 'Hail Satan!'

I absolutely loved classic WOW (I refuse to say vanilla). Was a MT on one of the top guilds on our server. Made it halfway through AQ40 when BC came out and many decided to take time off. Including me. Then I created a rogue on a PVP server and played BGs pretty hard and went around ganking people for fun at my leisure. 

 

I miss classic. But like you guys, I’m not sure I could get stuck in that trap again. I’m married now. Lol

If I had the time... I was about 4 weeks from my HWL title and I don't think I could ever come close to the playtime I had just to get there.

I definitely couldn’t ever come close to the playtime I had back then. I turned down jobs just so that I could be home to Raid at night. Lol

Vanilla WoW was still a cake walk when compared to something like EverQuest. Remember that grind (if you are old enough)?

Old enough? Yes. I never really got into EverQuest though. I played it once on a friend's account. Some jackwagons suckered me into following them into some high level area, where they got me killed and abandoned my corpse (and all my gear). No one would help me retrieve my stuff. I said '***** this' and never played again.

 

I got into WoW after a bunch of friends I met playing a MUD called Gemstone III (later IV) switched over.

I recall one night venturing thru the level 15ish castle/tower on Kunark when something cast a Fear on me and I ended up falling down a hole into the depths with some giant badger looking things.  My friend and I never could have gotten down there by ourselves so we rounded up an epic posse of noobs to recover my corpse :lol:

I have not played in years..... but when I did play my favorite thing was to take dropped valuables and put them up for sale in the auction house....I think I enjoyed that more then actually playing the game....then for some reason the damn things stopped selling or became not valuable and I lost interest.

I'm wondering how "classic" the world will be... are we talking launch version or right before burning crusade?

 

I remember taking almost a year to hit lvl 60...

 

... with the endgame just trying to find a good raiding guild; then deciding whether I wanted to quit my real life job to stay on their mandatory raid schedule.

 

My only regret was not getting enough Furbolog rep before BC. Although I did get the saber tiger for my dwarf.

I remember reading that they decided to go to patch 1.7ish. Everything including AQ40. Not sure if the scarab gate will have to be opened.

Actually I’m surprised they didn’t include Naxxramus. Not many guilds were able to get that far. It was so close to BC. Once BC happened, nobody bothered with that stuff. Green loots at lvl 62 were better than most epic gear from T2 or below. Once you got to 70, all gear from Classic wow was replaced. Including anything from AQ40 or Naxx

See now THAT would have been cool. I'd have even supported a return to BC, as i imagine Fel Reaver hijinks would be pretty fun.

Not for me. Old school raids with 40 were the best times in wow.

Ok ok. I’m getting sucked in. Getting super geeked about playing again. Raiding again. Tanking again. Watching countless hours of videos on Classic. From rare items, professions, tanking guides, raiding guides. Who else is with me?

Do it!!! I don’t even own a computer. I’m going as far as spending like $800 on a new laptop just to play. I’ve come to the realization that I miss classic deeply. That if BC and the rest of the expansions didn’t ruin the game I’d still probably be playing anyway. So this is what I’ve been waiting for. Can’t wait to get back in there and start tanking.

It will include everything and all will be time released just like classic was.

Once you got to 62 it all got replaced b.c the stats went through the roof.
