What are you looking forward to the most? Do you think they will move to other expansions? Like maybe every 2 years, progress the current servers by an expansion?

Hoping they use the old physics. Like how you could knock people off their flying mounts

I'd like if they stopped at WOTLK and had WoW2 or something else developed by then.

>yfw Blizzard pulls a Sword Art Online on release
>you can't log out and if you die in-game you will die in real life
>yfw you rolled a warrior

i hope its great. im so bored with gaming wow is the only safe space i have and i mostly don't enjoy even wow anymore. i just don't know what else to do, i play wow purely out of fear.

The thing is that I could see myself getting bored of it if they didn't roll out patches quick enough but if they did then what would they do once there is nothing left but TBC? People talk about adding additional stuff like "patch 1.13" but that sounds stupid and probably won't happen. I'll still play it regardless though, rolling a warrior then a warlock. Faction depends on what my friend will play

#nochanges

Yeas so blizzlike and cant wait pandas and monk classes

That's not physics you retard, that's just changing a yes to a no somewhere

They did have a different physics system in place though, you didn't carry momentum as well as you do now.

I will be making a priest alt so that I can MC people off of high places and the boats.

>flying mounts
>classic

OSRS 2.0
Retards think they want it, but they don't

I for one can't wait for retailfags and trolls to convince Blizzard that going full modern-WoW with crz, lfg, mount/pet store is necessary.

This game is fucking dead if it isn't 99%+ vanilla.

What about the 1%? Well, there needs to be bugs addressed(some bugs, like wallclimbing need to stay, or do they?(bgs)), and do mob respawn timers need adjusting? If so, where? Just in low level zones so as to smooth out the influx of new players, and not ruin endgame farming locations?

There are many, many more things that need to be addressed, some people say they'd like new content, or talent trees reworked. I for one disagree, but until there is more info from Blizzard, there's not much point in going on.

People actually play private servers on WoW

I'm looking forward to seeing autistic retards like alexensual freaking the fuck out over hd shadows or hd rain textures "because it's slippery slope and not genuine vanilla experience".
I seriously don't understand who the fuck blizzard are making vanilla for. Newfags and normies won't play it because it was a complete shitfest back it the day and people grew lazy with all the qol changes. People who actually played vanilla are in their late 20s/early 30s now, have families, even kids.
If blizzard are going to release vanilla the way it was, it will be dead on arrival.

Define people.

People also played private RS servers
And classic will have a subscription, which vanillatards seem to constantly forget about

OSRS has a bigger population than the new shit and is probably the best mmo you can play right now. probably a blizzard shill

what do you mean

more niggas playing osrs than real rs

hope they dont patch old wow tho

A few thousand spread across many servers, most have populations in the hundreds, at best. Also spread across every expansion and the further you get, the less it works because somehow, pservs still don't understand Phasing 100% right yet

If it works like in runescape, a sub to modern WoW will also let you play vanilla...But, this being Blizzard we're talking about, I wouldn't be surprised if vanillafags get slapped with an extra $5 or so just to access classic.

It has literally been proven that there are more bots playing that shit than actual people
go on /rsg/ and ask for the chart

No we don't. You act like everyone playing PS wouldn't immediately pay for a better quality experience. Trust me, we would.

>better quality experience
it's funny that you actually think you'll get that

As long as dumb eurofag trash aren't involved, it'll be leagues better of an experience.

It would be hilarious if they forced all the people who wanted classic to also sub to the main game as well as pay more.

This is a waste of time. People won’t stick with it, because what they really want it to relive that time in their life.

americans are absolutely worse than europeans, DotA 2 stats, for example, show this

I'm looking forward to super long taxi rides, overcrowded zones, unbalanced classes and walking to every instance I want to enjoy!

Yeah, what dumbass would think a multi-billion dollar company with an image to maintain could compete with a few guys in their basement(that are also prone to pulling a m00t, and/or getting shutdown)?

Did WoW really feel more social back in the day? When I play today I notice it’s very quiet and feels like a single player game. What’s different about it now that makes it so much less social?

I love it when I read faggots like you who supposedly have ESP powers and can read the minds of a target audience that you have zero clue about.

To be fair, Mobas bring out the absolute worst in people and only the worst people play them, so that's kind of like pointing to a fat camp and saying there's alot of fat fucks there, well duh.

I want zones to feel overcrowded again. Its depressing playing now and every zone is a fucking abandoned wasteland

Sounds like you have ADD and need instant gratification

the game is shit at its core brainlet
it only got a pass because of the WC tag attached to it and because it was babby's first "real" MMO

Lol fuck off sandnigger.

Progressive server
but hoping for custom content like new raids but that will never happen

It's basically one easy click to find groups for all your compartmentalized grinds every day/week

a shitload of people play assfaggots
at that point statistics become a good indicator of people's behaviour

No Dungeon Finder shit so you had to manually get groups together. You had to walk to dungeons and make sure every dumbass gets in in one piece. No Cross-server shit so if you do something stupid, word gets around and you don't get allowed into anything anymore so reputation matters. Not everything in the world was soloable, e.g; that fucking wandering skeleton dude in Duskwood's graveyard took 2-3 people to kill. Levelling was slow, quests regularly sent you three zones away to do shit so you'd be bored while travelling and shoot the shit in general chat. if anyone else was nearby, or Guild chat if not, since that's the only purpose of a guild besides Raiding pre-guild perks.

The community.

People had identities on servers and even battlegroups back when. If you were a shithead ninja, word would get around and you would find it hard to get into guilds or even pugs.

You naturally spent longer periods of time in group content, you had to work together and those that could, were more prone to success. Basically, if you find someone that kicks ass, or you jive with, you become friends. It's not like when you can click a button and expect everyone to know what's up, or literally drag your group by the nose through farm content.

I miss the little conversations I'd have during dungeons and elite quests.

Why is the classic/p.server community so toxic?

The disappointment when people realize WoW was never really that good.

Sounds like you lack the ability to appreciate the objectively best MMO. Why are you even here? Go jerk off to some MUD/everquest, gaylord.

yeah back in the day i did ninja just a couple times, and honestly i was a really nice player otherwise. i just let desire get the best of me but people still didn't wanna play with me. it was a little messed up desu. i was pretty much blacklisted. i still got into groups but i was surprised how fast word spread. it was fucked up desu.

...

The general chats are fucking dead these days even in storm wind or orgeimmar

There’s just no time to talk in dungeons, you are always moving and always attacking. Was it actually different before?

every day we have this thread and every day a retard saying this

one major difference was actually having to look for people to join your 5/10/15 mans. There was no LFG tool, you had to sit in major cities and use the LFG channel, after which people had to travel to the actual instance, meaning many groups needed a lock or mage to expedite it, people also needed food/water and stones, giving a decent amount of down time between pulls even in 5 mans. This lack of movement resulted in a more social climate with groups, as people often chatted about things they had done, planned on doing, or just plain messed around. Even content outside 5 mans needed additional players to complete, and meeting up with people in the world you had never played with before and getting into a duo or trio was common for a zone before parting your separate ways. Down time outside of raids was filled with farming materials, grinding reps the hard way, or just plain fucking with the opposing faction, all of which fostered a much more social community.

That being said, I probably won't be rolling classic. It had it's time in my life, and the current version of WoW allows me to play the game at my pace, log off, and do other things with my life.

Somewhat. You'd still want to be moving, but you had to coordinate and Sheep/Sap/etc shit. Not everyone had an aoe and shit hit hard, if that extra add wasn't sapped/sheeped it would probably kill the tank and wipe you.

>try to talk to my group

>"is that a chat addon?"

>Rogue kid gets upset at me for taking the good dagger in SFK run
Sorry kid but I'm the tank and that is a TANK dagger :)

BC is an obvious option, especially because of Jewelcrafting (Prospecting).

No I just ain't a kid anymore and can't sit on classic wow for 12 hours a day just to gain a level or two anymore.

>finally get to the zone you want to level in after a 20 minute taxi ride

Cant wait famalam.

What is Vanilla? I don't mean this in a philosophical way, I mean it literally. Is it 1.0? Is it 1.12? Was the expectation of coming patches not part of the Vanilla experience? Was serving your time in MC before moving on to other raids part of Vanilla? Was getting gear form ZG that was good enough to mostly skip MC part of Vanilla?

The problem with WoW Classic is if they put up a server on one patch it will only be Vanilla for one group of people, and it won't sate the people that want the feel of progression and content patches. If they put up a server on 1.0 and roll out the patches (then stop on 1.12) then years from now we'll be back to where we are where people are clamoring for the old feeling of leveling and progressing through the patches again. If they make it seasonal where the patches come out on a schedule, then it sits on 1.12 for a year before kicking all the characters to live, and reseting the classic server to start the next season you anger the people that want to sit in a "I've beaten the game and want to lord over it bubble." There's no way to please everyone without splintering the community into "people that don't watch patches", "people that want patches that eventually stop", "people that want a constant flow, that eventually loops back around" groups, and there aren't enough people to support three servers like that (truth be told, after the initial rush, I doubt there's even enough to support one server).

I do not think it is possible to please everyone, and I think the number of people not pleased will be loud enough that regardless of the outcome, WoW Classic will appear to be a failure. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised, but nothing Blizzard has done in the last decade gives me hope.

Stop talking about wow. wc3 invitational in 3 hours.

You have to make your own group and walk to the instances these days too for mythic+ dungeons and people still don't socialize in most groups. The community changed from back in vanilla.

fine faggot i'm triggered

There is so much fucking wrong with this post that its' clear you're just going by wiki info and weren't actually playing in Vanilla or are just that fucking bad at remember.
>5/10/15 mans
>vanilla
nigga there were 2 party options in vanilla pve: 5man and 40man. That's it. Hell I don't think there was even an lfg channel, niggas used general and trade.
Mages sure as shit couldn't help teleport you. They didn't have portals then. Warlocks might have had a single-person summon and that shit cost shards per-person, which was a pain in the ass to farm and keep stock of, which took up inventory space. This might've been before shard bags existed too, fuck i don't remember when we got those and most folks didn't bother because +4 slots that only took shards wasn't worth it vs general inventory space.

The new physics engine is just NOT changing a velocity integer to 0 in certain conditions.

That was probably their plan but Blizz had no reason to do that with 12 million subs

>someone actually knowing their shit
Am I dreaming

I just want to play with some friends and have fun for a while, we tried vanilla server some years back and it was pretty nice while it lasted.

>I seriously don't understand who the fuck blizzard are making vanilla for
Retards with money to waste. Duh

The group finder expedites making a group because you have the entire pool of servers to pull from and because you can post very specific things and people can browse the listing. I'd actually be interested to see how well/if it would work on an isolated server. If WoW Classic had a group finder but it was isolated to just that server, how much would it really change the game? Instead of whispering people out of the blue, they'd seek you out?

...

I'm betting, possibly hoping, that Classic is just a single server. Or one server per game type, PVE, PVP, RP. There's not going to be a long-term huge playerbase for it. Oh sure, when it first launches there will be queues out the ass...until they realize the mistake they've made and how shit Vanilla was and they take off their rose tinted goggles.

If they wanted to put out something good they'd have gone with a BC Server instead.

Why would anyone want to play a game where your rotation is mashing the same 2 buttons and the raids are tank and spank?

The same reason a lifeless loser would run around posting anime reaction images just to get (You)s

>"You have to make your own group"
>open dungeon finder
>click request invite

yeah, that's not how it was back in the day sonny. Making a group was vastly different back then.


>walk to the instances these days too for mythic+

Sure, if you consider flying at what, 280% speed these days to be "walking," and making it to you destination without being harassed by other players or mobs for half an hour "walking," forcing the 2 people already in the instance waiting on you to come out and save your ass, causing a zone wide escalations of PVP or a complete group wipe to roaming elites that no one saw coming over the hill. "Walking," to an instance in 1.x meant an arduous journey, rout with perils and pitfalls and distractions that made that first "is everyone ready? pulling!" in an instance an hour later all the more palpable. I've seen entire zones of players from both factions swarm into one area because some guy got ganked heading to the instance portal alone.

>The community changed from back in vanilla.
Wont disagree with you there. It's harder to find people that want to work to achieve something than it used to be, much much harder...

yearly progress seems good to me
or they must find the perfect time like
raids every 4 months and after 4 months of last raid move into next exp a new server
clearly keep a few servers with each exp and all exps up

I dont look forward to it at all.
Fuck Molten Bore I dont want to enter that piece of shit ever again.

If they took whats in vanilla and actually expanded upon it with new content thats designed with vanilla in mind rather than crap like TBC that followed I wouldnt mind, but I cant be fucked to replay that old shit 1:1 again.

Anybody looking for a quality experience probably isn't playing RS or WoW to begin with.

So we ARE rolling Horde right?

I'm rolling Lalafell

There is no way you'll get the old sense of community back. People pine for the days when you'd be permanently blacklisted for ninja looting, or seen as a champion of the server for doing well, but that won't return no matter what blizzard does because the player base has irreversibly changed.
Classic WoW worked as it did because it existed when only the nerdiest nerds on the planet played online video games. These days classic end game will have too many normies that don't care enough to have the community flourish.

nobody used CC until UBRS or maybe strat.

I question if there's even the market for three types. Like you said there will be a rush, but realistically, who is going to keep playing WoW Classic? Like, I loved Ulduar, it was my favorite raid. If I could press a magic button and go back and raid it right now with my old guild I would. Would I press that magic button every week for six months? Probably not. Would I continue pressing it every week for years? Definitely not. There might be one guild's worth of people that want to consistently play on a classic server. There's also the network effect. As your server dies, there's fewer people to interact with so you retreat inward, which of course hastens the death and the server becomes a ghost town.

I think a BC server would do the same thing, albeit slower. WoW as a game is designed around new content coming in to keep the player base enticed and keep people coming back. Without new content the game will get old and stale and people will quit.

>Classic WoW worked as it did because it existed when only the nerdiest nerds on the planet played online video games
lmao WoW is a post 2000 game and it had immense exposure to casuals.

>nigga there were 2 party options in vanilla pve: 5man and 40man.
what about stratoholme/brd/ubrs/lbrs? you mean as in they have now about "10 man 25man and 40man" ?
i remember teleporting people with my mage but mind you i started playing 1-2 months after release

It's like 2 years away at the very least.
No, it will not progress through expansions, it's going to be vanilla and vanilla only for years.
Yes, they will be changes from original vanilla.
No, it will not be the same game or experience as original vanilla, it will be an entirely different experience.
Yes, it will be fun still.

Any other questions?

Osrs release was fucking god-tier and hella fun. Today it's kind of a Frankenstein but it's a small team working with what they've got and it's still miles better than whatever the fuck RS3 has become.

WoW was an entirely normalfag game you retard. Why do you think it had millions and millions of players?

WoW did start the normalfagging for sure but it was still lead by nerds up until WOTLK. Normies were there but they were not the ones leading guilds or organizing raids.

Nobody sticks with anything you stupid fuck

>durr why make this movie if nobody is going to be watching it every single day for the next 3000 years

>nigga there were 2 party options in vanilla pve: 5man and 40man.

lol

Normies still dont lead guilds and organize endgame raids that take players 4+ hours three or more times a week you goddamn idiot.

You have such a weird and twisted idea of what the playerbase is like. It makes me believe that you're a poser.

yeah a 2hour movie absolutely compares to a MMO which requires a stable playerbase for years

Nostalrius seemed alright

>a MMO which requires a stable playerbase for years

Retail WoW begs to differ

What are you implying? That retail has no stable playerbase? Are we at this point?

This thread is filled with fucking retards.

>Are we at this point?

The point where you stop making arguments? Yes it looks like we are

Nice thread, fucking idiots

Suck my dick, faggot Sup Forumsnigger.

I wonder how people will react to all the changes blizzard have planned for classic. Do you think some of the usual spergs will off themselves if things don't go their way?

Weeklong AV

They announced it too early, I'm not even hype for it anymore and its still a year away at least.

>I wonder how people will react to all the changes blizzard have planned for classic.

I just won't play itI will
