[@jfflipper]

I resubbed for classic having canceled my sub in WoD and it's still worth every penny. The main thing that was lost in later expansions was the sense of community. Everyone has been pleasant so far, except for the warlock who kept dotting our tank while we were trying to kill the DM arena boss... but I'll let it slide. I honestly thought there would only be a few raiding guilds per server and I would have to fight in order to get a spot in one, but we've managed to fill our groups (and down 8/10 in MC) every week. This week we'll probably go 10/10 since we will actually be able to summon Domo. Honestly, I would have paid Blizz for this years ago and I'm glad that they finally started listening to their community. With any luck they'll allow us to copy our characters onto a BC server in the future so people can experience what I consider to be "Peak WoW"

[@Magerquark]

So true That is the reason you can enjoy wow so much more, if you are in a guild with some funny and nice people ,you are happy to spend your free time playing it People who play classic are nicer by nature imo just because everything in the game takes so much time, people are more patient and forgiving

Axlerod Horowitz lmao so you rather play a walking simulator than wow?

[@its_deer]

Huh, as it turns out, playing an ACTUAL RPG is pretty good.

[@yungwallzy]

@Not Drunk James i think classic brings uniqueness to the classes and because of the class quests and not having classes doing basicly the same thing like most in retail makes it kinda boring less unique. You can argue that having all classes being viable a good thing for retail but it gets streamlined and boring in my opinion.

[@its_deer]

@Not Drunk James Retail isn't an RPG, it's an RNG Casino loot simulator

[@its_deer]

Please, have you played retail as of late? Over 80% of the RPG elements in that version of the game are gone, and none of them came back. Right now it plays like a parody of what an RPG should be: level 1 characters are donned in the most powerful gear they will have for the next 119 levels right from the get go, gold is unlimited if you know where to look, killing mobs and doing quests is mindlessly easy. On top of that, gear at endgame is totally borked. I can get the same powerful items from killing some baddies on a worldquest as the mighty raiders do if I'm lucky enough. Crafting, player interaction, and charcter growth are at an all time low. I'll give you that yes, techincally retail is an RPG, but it's surely not a good one in my opinion.

[@MsterSumm0ner]

@@yungwallzy a lot of things with classic are good but i really dont like the idea that tank = only warriors and healers only priests

[@octaviangeorge5455]

@@its_deer true words. Retail doesnt feel like a rpg anymore. But more like an instanced single player game. Modern wow is simple dull.

[@originalkhawk]

personally i would be disapointed if WoW classic would move into TBC, because at that point its just going to be delayed retail, eventually moving into WotLK, then cata, MoP, etc. i feel like the best thing to do is create a system like OSRS where they do create new content for classic, but keep it in the classic style, because moving into TBC and other expantions you move into changes in systems and gameplay that came along with those expantions, and before you know it you have dungeon finder, mounts that are learned instead of sitting in your bags, LFR, flying, AP grinds and everything that is not WoW classic. i am not saying WoW classic is the perfect game, its not the best that WoW can be, but the thing is, the best is diffrent for everyone.

[@Vadegu]

The thing is. The level of vanilla p servers were almost equal as good as classic when it comes to scripting etc. The problem was corruption by admins who sold items for irl money (Light's hope/post-notalrius). The only tbc server who was considered topnotch was Gummy's server (Gummy was a genious coder who rewrote the basic code "Mango's" and replaced by passes of the mango code by direct scripts) unfortunately the guy closed the server after a couple of weeks, he opened it a half year later on discretely as "felmyst" which he closed also after a couple of months) So there hasn't been a server out for more than 6 months which could be considered as a decent TBC server. So hence when TBC comes out LOOOOAAAAADS but like LOOAAAAADS of players will play it. As TBC can be considered to be the enhanced version of Vanilla.

[@originalkhawk]

@@Vadegu i get your point, but TBC is not enhanced vanilla, its a expantion, and with that expantion came changes to the way things where done in vanilla,. and like i stated before i am not saying that vanilla WoW is the best version of WoW, but the best version of WoW is diffrent to everyone. and if you accept the changes that came along with TBC what sepperates that from the changes that came with WotLK and the changes that came with Cataclysm.

[@Vadegu]

​@@originalkhawk I personally think based on opinions of most WoW-veterans (Which I'm not !!!!! never played vanilla/TBC/WOTLK retail !!! I did on P servers though) + playerbase amount. That TBC and WOTLK are the pinnacle of WoW game. And were as TBC is mechanically vanilla wise, WOTLK is mechanically new wow based. (I'm basing myself on the adventuring/PVE-feeling) Let's not include PVP because obviously arena and flying destroyed W-PVP, (I realise these are solely my opinions of course! and forum opinions) Vanilla was a testing terrain, of course a revolution in the MMMORPG arena, hence the impact it made on the gaming world) Although I think the cluncy movement/type of casting where you have to stand to pop most of the abiltiies are still quite similar with vanilla and TBC, where as WOTLK was totally different. The raids in Vanilla aren't that hard but , let us wait when BWL,ZG, AQ comes out, but you'll see it'll be cleared in max 2 hours on release, I dare to bet money on that.But they're FREAKING FUN.

*Classic WoW* : you think you do... but... 3monthslater and you STILL DO!

[@Alexandros.Mograine]

absoluely hooked on the game for 3 months straight

[@XxHikidashixX]

Nixxiom, my man. I love how passionate you speak about Classic, it's inspiring in its own right. As for my experience with Classic, it's been interesting. I was there on launch day, I lagged like crazy, tried to get into parties for quest with complete randoms, met up with those same randoms few days later for other quest zones. Unlike retail, I actually left myself logged in on general and trade chat. The grind to level is very noticeable compared to retail. It's kind of like most other mmos but has it's own unique charm. Now, I didn't play Classic way back in the day (I originally started during the pre-wrath launch event) so I'm not too nostalgic about the game, but I do miss the talent system, and having class quests. Those made both each spec and class feel special. The closest on retail (or at least, in recent memory) they've got was the legendary artifact back in Legion... but that is nothing in comparison to the talents+quests. Love the content man, thanks for sharing~

[@dunkelwelpling]

Is Classic really that popular tho? Because when i look on Twitch WoW has the same views as it had in BfA times. Is there any evidence i can look at?

[@Radial9Gaming]

lol comparing a games popularity with twitch views

[@MCG55SS]

@@Radial9Gaming actually that is a very common way to see interest/community in a game and most publishing sites and analytics use it to gauge player interest in a particular game / genre. Usually a game with a lot of interest, player draw and hype has a lot of views and a lot of people watch it has high viewership numbers. Classic has 1 major flaw atm though, its a LATE patch so raids and dungeons are after tons of nerfs and tuning so people can go through them fairly efficiently. I just wonder will Classic -> BC or Classic -> Classic + (basically like Runescape with a new progression storyline)

[@Radial9Gaming]

@@MCG55SS it's a stupid way to gauge popularity. twitch viewers usually watch a new game that just came or has some major content and dies down a few days later, but the game is still popular. also some games are not as interesting being watched as they are played, and they are still popular.

Hey Nixxiom, with my poor english, I rly want to give you my wow classic experience So, I am a 18 yrs old’s girl who never played wow classic. I started with the very end of wotlk thank to my sister’s husband. Currently, I have 20 days in my played, with 12 days of leveling and I absolutely love classic. Y’know, I never had to experience a community like this. The thing that I like the most probably (with PvP) is the fact that you recognised a player name that you have played with and even if they are not from your guild or you don’t talk to them often, they will recognise you and /waves « hey, last scholo was clean, want to do it again ? » Or you recognise that horde player you camped for 3h straight during the leveling, and now he is with 4 others peoples, and you know he’s gonna fuck you in the ass (but i’m a pally so bubble+heartstone). Littles things make the game vry enjoyable for me, hope it’s the same for you !

[@vtr0104]

And what, pray tell, was wrong with your English, exactly?... Relax, you're doin' just fine. And it's good to hear folks now who are picking up the game and enjoying it instead of just old players trying to relive their glory days like a pensioner saving up for that '68 Corvette they couldn't get in high-school. Have fun, kid!

[@TheTorridestCheese]

Is it really? From what I heard down the grapevine, phase 2 has been a disaster and even Asmongold is getting bored of the game. Not a troll comment. Genuinely surprised to hear its still really bumping.

[@Magerquark]

For some reason I believe nixxiom doesn't even play that much He said phase 2 brought us diremaul, which has been out for weeks now. Still I think asmongolds experience is much different from every other person Noone else has people following him around or waiting before every raid to gank him

[@zday40k]

As a level 60 resto druid, it's been fine. I found after a couple days of running back and forth like a hk farming tide in tarren Mill, the shine does wear off pretty fast. I was fortunate enough to hit 60 2 days before p2 arrived but my friends who aren't so lucky at 48 and 53 are just being farmed relentlessly on sight so I can see the pros and cons of having honour but no bgs yet. Fun experience for myself just to see it for the first time but maybe they should consider popping in bgs sooner rather than later for the poor souls who didn't hit 60 yet!

[@Magerquark]

@@zday40k yea I agree with that. The private server I played on had bgs enabled right at the start and STILL there were people in un goro / menethil harbor / burning stepps camping flightpaths, but it was only 1-2 people at a time. Obviously without any bg everyone has to do this kind of shit

[@MrBountyHunterD]

Glad people are enjoying. I got to level 20 and just got very very very bored. I started March 2005. Never found classic engaging. But that’s just my opinion.

[@shadowforge]

I was having a blast till about the mid 40's, thats when the retail started coming out of people....gone were the buffs and group ups for mobs and in came kill stealing, rude whispers, and chat shaming.

Shure glad that that hasn't been too dominant of a thing on my server xD

TRUE

[@hamiltonian4698]

Haven't experienced that at all on my eu pvp server. Just had an amazing zf spellcleave group last night with lots of fun and laughter (and wipes, yes we're noobs)! However, when I played on a german pve server, ppl were sometimes quite rude in dungeons (nothing against germans)

[@goran77ish]

Yea, people from private servers are buy scouts, or maybe you never played on some of private servers.

why they dont listen in retail to the community?

[@sable11111]

Who cares about retail.

[@Geist1337]

"Classic will be dead on release." "Classic will be dead day one." "Classic will be dead after a week." "Classic will be dead in a month." "Classic will be dead in two months." "Classic will be dead by phase 2." Still going strong mother fuckers. Bring on your next doomsday prophecy for Classic and we'll disprove that one as well.

[@sleeksays2858]

Idk... I tried out Classic but i didn't exactly have as much fun as i thought i was gonna have.

[@Dragon_Lair]

Classic does take some getting used to. You have to read the quest descriptions carefully to get the clues on where and how to complete the quest. Some quests are hidden and require exploration to find. The mobs can kill you if you get outnumbered, or if you go against an elite. But what makes it work is that sense of accomplishment for completing the quest, the companionship that will develop naturally as you work with other players and the pride of working together as a team going through a dungeon. Also, Leeroy Jenkins.

[@Alizeea]

Same. Was ok, but I prefer retail.

[@thaxsom]

It's not for everyone, it sure wasn't for me. Made it about 2 weeks before getting bored.

[@Bunny_sweetheart]

The 96 dislikes are people who still think it's just nostalgia after 2 months and literally millions of players later. But I had my first streamer moment the other day I was tabbed out in the shimmering flats and a rogue tried ganking me, got me down to about 20% health before I tabbed back wing clipped him put some distence on us posioned him and kited him until he tried to run away at low health which then lead to me slowing him then aspect of the cheetah to get back in shooting range then arcane arrow to the back of the head to finish it. A great moment and probably my favorite gank so far. The ganker became the ganked and it was great

[@DarkCulex]

Retail is better, classic is a slow time sync.

[@Just1Time3]

I started with classic (1 month after release) , tried out each class and having a ton of fun. I sticked to Warlock, did some quests and dungeon and god damn every new level and new piece of equipment felt soooo good. And then I hit lvl 52 and phase 2 honor system was released. I can't play more than an hour without ragequitting after beeing camped by a group of 60 at every single street and city, while I can't find groups for dungeon, becasue me idiot transfered from Transcedence to Heartseeker. Oh damn how I regret not rolling on a pve Server. I never rly was in pvp, but the pve server queue were so long >.>. BTW Great Video!

[@cel3469]

You still can roll on a pve server... I wasn't even on a pvp server, I was on bloodsail and I moved to mankrik starting from scratch because it has a larger and better population. Other people are doing that too so you won't be alone.

The only wow I have known was Vanilla wow. I played from 2006-2007 so Vanilla up until BC and it was glorious! I wanted to start up playing WoW Classic at launch with my buddy and we have been in it together since August 27th. Dude seriously... I personally think this is the best MMO that has been created ever. Absolutely perfect system for pve and pvp!!! We have been having a blast even though we both can't play that often due to working fulltime, spending time with our significant other, family, and friends. I haven't been this addicted to a game since the launch of Guild Wars 2 in 2012. It's just so damn fun!!! I started out with a Orc Rogue main on Herod and got him up to level 42, then I decided I wanted more of a challenge so I rerolled to an Undead Mage and I am loving it!!! Currently level 48 so my life is over and I am going to be honor farmed by 60's. But you know what? I don't care!!!! It's fun, I love PvP, I love the game, and I won't be unsubbing for a really long time. FOR THE HORDE!!!
