Not interested just because I never played WOW and it doesn't even have some of the basic modern MMO features I enjoy, like player-owned properties or at least static displays you can build up.

Remember the era of WoW Killers? Every new MMO started off huge and quickly died off. This wont be any different. People lack the free time and attention span to really get the most out of Classic. Ill play it a bit for nostalgia but Im sticking to normal WoW for the most part.

"You think you want it, but you don't."


As someone who has played current wow and on a classic server. I preferred classic.

Even more I prefer TBC. That is the high point of the game for me.

People act like wotlk was the best, and it kind of was flavor wise for Northrend itself, but the game got dumbed down already as soon as it came out. All the dungeons in Northrend were way too easy, it started the trend of everyone expecting to be able to just run in and not think about anything and spam aoe spells. I guess it was pretty seeing all those frosties and fireball falling from the sky. But it was balls easy and boring.

opposite for me. I didnt like wow at all back when I played it 15 years ago.(I was a ffxi guy) Now 15 years later, I am loving this game.

i subbed yesterday for one month, just to check things out and see what the community is like.

game is still as good as ever, immediately it just felt right. and it is really interesting to me how modern retail WoW has failed to capture what most people actually like about MMORPGs in general. i will most likely not play past this month though because as much as I love them, MMOs are a huge waste of time and i cant really justify that these days

People like nostalgia man. Just like how people prefer OSRS to RS3 even though it's full of bots and is missing so many simple QOL updates.

i dont think it's necessarily nostalgia, it just captures key components of WoW that are missing in retail and have been missing for a very long time

Im having a great time so far. I never played Vanilla, I started playing end of MoP. Got a level 7 mage and level 10 priest. Im probably sticking to priest for the time being. Its fun to see so many people in the world and were all spam buffing each other. Ive had a few people come to help me with mobs they couldnt even tag. The community has been different. A lot more helpful and alive.

We just downed heroic Azshara in retail last night so not much else to do now but play Classic.

definitely there are ppl playing classic now because it's the new & trendy thing to do but i think there are a lot of ppl that go to work, come home & play video games for many hours. hell i have a coworker who games constantly when not at work, and while in the office he watches twitch streams as he works lol. not to mention that nearly every big game these days has leveling up & progression systems and shit like that, clearly it's a popular concept to a wide audience

Yes, but the amount of grinding needed in modern games is in no way comparable to the time investment needed to raid in classic.

my guild only raided 12 hours a week in vanilla and we cleared all of AQ40 and most of Naxx.

most of the grinds involved farming resist gear, but people will know to keep the low level resist shit when it drops now
