Keep an eye on Classic WoW

For better or for worse Blizzard is pushing forward with Classic. This version of the game takes a lot of the convenience factors out of the game, slows the pace of killing and leveling, and increase leveling time.

I'm not sure whether the game will be a success or a bust. However it is getting initial attention. So I think it would be beneficial to just watch Classic and use it to help determine what the elusive mmo community is looking for.

I remember when I started playing EQ2 right after launch. It took a while to level then but there was so much to do in the world (so much to explore, find and...kill

) that it didn't seem tedious or boring. Ok, waiting for some of the big bads to spawn at times could be a bit tedious (looking at you Bloodtalon) but that was part of the game and we could always find ways to amuse ourselves while waiting. And when you did hit the next level you were elated. Your friends were happy for you and even the random passerby would toss you a "Gratz". It meant something to advance to that next level. I miss that feeling. These days in most games you can hit max level way too fast. Leveling goes by so fast that you don't really see the world anymore, which is too bad because these are worlds that were created just for us to explore and adventure in. I think we should at least take the time to appreciate them and all the work that went into creating them.

Going back to an old lover is never as good as it sounds. We all know this yet cant help ourselves. We are convinced it will be just like it was in the beginning Exciting, Inspiring and sometimes dangerous, but it never it is. All you do is end up souring a good memory and wishing you hadn't.

Lets look to the future with Ashes, not try to relive a past that belongs in our memories.

What if that past lover is now a fitness model?

So now he/she has higher standards, an inflated ego, and will likely criticize any physical imperfections you have?

Sexy.

More like a fitness model who cares about health and can make u sink in immersion of pleasure (vanilla) or a normal person who is shallow and only counting how many boyfriends she has (bfa)

WoW vanilla private servers have been popular past few years why Blizzard changed their mind relaunching the Classic version. I would predict that classic WoW will be okay, not just because fans getting nostalgia feel, but because there is a lot of WoW fans who have missed the vanilla and who really want to play that first version too. Classic fanbase is quite wide, and because of that I do not see why classic WoW would fail.

Well youtubers are making videos about classic wow and campare to retail wow. So far almost all them say Classic WoW wins no contest no point in even debating.

One guy was playing undead priest going through leveling process in both Classic WoW and Retail and was saying stuff like.

After 30 min of leveling got in group to finsih a quest with some other person in Classic wow. And said things like even at low level in Retail WoW he could pull 4 mobs and kill them while in Classic wow you had to be careful and pull one or two.

But what really got me was the in Retail WoW he got a really nice staff but how it really did not matter cause he could already pull four mobs at a time (so it was just over kill)
While in Classic WoW gear that you got from quests and professions mattered because it made an actuall differentce. How in Classic WoW gear actually felt like an upgrade.

Think devs ought to spend a few days figuring out how Blizzard a company with unlimited resources literally killed their own game so as not to go down the same path.

Was checking out server populations. World wide it is about 4.4 million

https://www.wowhead.com/news=295075/classic-wow-realm-population-report-data-aggregated-through-community

Game came out like 3 months ago meanong those numbers represent active players and do not see that many being made in just three months.

One player said WoW classic is 3 years of content so when this game comes out Classic WoW could be greatest competitor.

WoW retail population said to be about 3 million or 3.7 million.
