- Thread starter Strakt
- Start date
I helped my friend get up to HWL back in Vanilla. I loved the grind lol.
Very excited for this, just a shame it launches in september. WIll be very busy time at work so can't take a few weeks off. Can only play like a hour or 2 a day...
Considering the mockery Diablo Immortal got why in the world would they make a mobile WoW? I know there is a YT video going around on the concept and it might work but it would be severely tone deaf for them to actually do it not to mention making Classic again for pc was apparently extremely difficult in and of itself.
My rogue is gonna wait in the nessinwary camp for all of you motherfuckers LETS GO !!
lol
I remember when my two friends and me were trolling Darkshire. We got on a building and stood our ground for a few hours until we got bored...Warlock, Warrior, Resto Shaman
The developers actually said they are already thinking about TBC and WOTLK servers and will be watching the community for interest:
At the end 15m and 30 seconds in they DIRECTLY talk about it. This whole thing is great.
Been itching for this news for the past few weeks, gonna be nice playing a good WoW experience again.
There's going to be a solid week after launch where people who have been complaining about wanting vanilla back for years suddenly realize it's not what they actually wanted and just complain on the forums about how shit it is... and personally I can't wait to see some of that.
Huntard + Rogue ... ya'll gonna suffer both ways!!! Rogue to camp n00bz with and Huntard because it's all Huntard loot!!!
Spent $100 on video game-related stuff that doesn't include an actual video game
prepare your "i thought i wanted it, but i didn't" reddit posts now
The WoW classic website states that it will be sold at regular retailers as well and to expect listings within the next couple of days. Sorry i cant link to it right now, my work computer filters out some of the gaming sites.
I think lowkey the best thing about Classic will be the reset economy. WoD screwed the economy so badly through the garrison gold quests they are still trying to recover from it having to put in massive gold sink mounts all the time. A fresh economy in Classic where professions mattered is pretty exciting.
Anyone remember when windfury would proc twice and instagib in pvp? It's the reason I never dueled in front of org, comstantly wrecked.

Haha I loved that. One of my mains was a Shaman. Had the Unstoppable Force lol. Windfury proc a windfury. You could rip through things if lucky enough.
You by chance didn't play on the Uther server back in 2004/05, did you?
May the earth mother watch over you.
Also, I'm definitely going to sign up early for name reservations. We will see if I can get any low character names just to sell them for a high price later.
Thanks for posting this! I think it would be wonderful to have access to legacy servers for each xpac...at least for vanilla, TBC and wrath anyway. If everquest can do it, blizz sure as hell can with wow imo
I'd greatly prefer new post-Naxx content that keeps level caps at 60 and has minimal gear progression than going to a Classic TBC/Classic WotlK. I only played about 3 months into TBC and then quit until Legion, so I'd definitely play TBC/WotLK, but just would prefer new dungeons/zones/BGs based on the mechanics established in Vanilla, without increasing level cap, adding new skills, etc.
I gotta say that I wasn't really all that excited about WoW Classic.....but now that it's got a release date and is only like 100 days away, I am actually really excited.
My main hope is that I can start up characters with new and old friends that used to play. Even when I played WoW adamantly, all my real-life friends were either at different progression levels, on different servers, or in different factions. Hopefully this time we can get it right and sync up with one another.

I would also prefer new level 60 content, TBC servers would be okay though, especially if they keep it like 2.0 & not 2.4
Wrath servers however i don't think are viable, it's just too easy & people will clear all the content in a week.
August destroyed much of the excitement or rather the end of August did...
Why mention summer when it at the tail end of it? Why not just "2019" or late summer.
MMO's require a big time investment and for me as a 2nd year student it's going to be hard to balance studies with the commitment to a game that needs so much of my time. It's not even in the middle of the month but the end of it. The first weeks are the most consuming and releasing classic sooner than August 28 would have helped.

It's kind of weird to me to think that anyone interested in WoW Classic could still be a student, or the sort of person that needs the summertime to really sink into a game.
I guess many of the people that played the game as students might now be teachers, who have the summer off.

Good games are good games, it doesn't really matter when they were released. Vanilla/TBC/WotLK are arguably the best MMO ever, nothing after that really comes close as far as WoW is concerned.
Will be pretty hard to balance between work and real life responsibilities, can maybe sink like 10-20 hours each week which means it takes 3-4 months to hit 60.
It pains me knowing I wont get a key :( only big streamers will get about 10 keys each to give away :'(
I really need in...

I hope they actually ban people this time that are account sharing for pvp grinds.
I never played WoW Vanilla, was too busy playing Runescape but I am going to buy the CE. I played WoW on retail on and off since Pandaria. Played PS since WotLK.
Not sure what to expect, except for a more difficult game with way less handholding and a lot of community interaction. I fear the community will be split into hardcore players wo played since vanilla and newcomers who never experienced it, or were not engaged very well into the endgame. It happens in current WoW too actually. But since vanilla is much more community based with no group finders I think a lot of people, including me, are going to have a rough time without a solid community to play with.

Vanilla is going to get steamrolled, it's just impossible not to when the knowledge is dissemenated as it has been for 15 years. That said, they're AT LEAST doing it semi appropriately and gating content releases and itemization, even if they're not necessarily reverting abilities quite as far as I'd like. It should be fun.
Wish I could get the CE
Anyone know if anything other then opting in for the beta is needed to play? I know an active sub is needed for full release.

Seems like an active sub is needed to be eligible for the beta according to the official homepage which is a pity as i'm unsubbed at the moment
In my experience on the private servers everyone is extremely helpful, whether they're trying this for the first time, or veterans. Getting the sense of community is the absolute main selling point for me in this. Leveling up in Elwynn Forest last month on a private server, I made two great connections already because it was just absolutely necessary to not be killed by a fuckton of murlocs.
