i h8 flying mounts

I hate people that write stuff with an 8 in it.

Have some of you who actually wanted Vanilla Wow realm played during that time?

You know, druids utter worthless, PvE Players dominationg BG, no Arena (wait, no arena? WAHOO), good old bugs.

There is no reason to go back to Vanilla WoW, it's in the past.

Q u o t e:
posting a whole new idea

Ohhhh god..... I laughed so hard it hurt. The 10th one of these threads today starts like this, i love it :)

Can we please have a conformation box when creating a new topic that says

"We know some people want classic realms. If you are thinking of asking for one, dont"

If they made one I'd be happy. I wanted such a server before, but now Im currently lvling this toon wich I kinda enjoy.. but the one thing that really ruined the game for me havent started yet.. yep you guessed right! Arena.

Once they start again with that priece of crap I think I want a classic realm.
But I'll gear this baby up raid and such with my friends and see.

two simple points to make:

1) Statistics are like Bikinis, what they show is interesting but what they conceal is far more interesting.
Statistics can be made to give any answer that the pollster wants, I'm pretty sure that with a well worded question or two I could show that over 50% of the earth's population think that we should be invaded by space aliens and welcome our new alien overlords.

2) Asking for pre expansion servers is just like remembering how much you loved certain Cartoons when you were younger, if you go back and watch them again now you'll wonder what on earth possessed you to watch it in the first place.

We all want a classic realm. But i dont know why blizard dont want to make one.

Absurd, you don't speak for me and I don't want a "classic" realm and it seems pretyy obvious why blizzard would not be keen on the idea.

First, at which point is wow "vanilia" would that be beta wow, path 1.* wow..patch 2.* wow...wow just before tbc release.

Secondly, they would need to perform maintenance on these classic servers, people would complain thats things are not "balanced" and have to invest time/manpower/resources into addressing these 'issues'.

Thirdly, how long before people would get boored? no new content, so would they demand new contetn..knowing people, yes and thus it aint vanilia wow.

So no, no classic realms, thanks

Vaul, that was very nicely put. I'm inclined to suspect that pre-TBC servers would just be a fad. Although there are quite a few private servers running, I'm wondering how that would translate in to paying customers? Would these people actually move back, and would they stay very long if all they're doing is the same content with no hope of new features?

---

Q u o t e:
It has been a while since we last posted on the topic of classic WoW realms, so I guess now is a good time to reiterate our position on the matter.

We are aware of the fact that some people prefer the old pre-expansion content over the newer content that has been added to the game with the last two expansions, but despite this we still have no plans for opening any classic realms at this point in time.

We also understand that some people would like to revel in nostalgia; however the developers are planning to keep the game moving forward as they want the game to continue to progress and evolve.

Is there any reason why you can't move the game forwards for the majority of your customers whilst offering one or two servers for the people who want to play the old worlds only? surely this will keep more people happier and more $$ flowing into blizzards pockets for longer?

I'd like to say to all the people that say, "OMG you can just play pre-bc wow already! Just don't level! or only buy vanilla WoW!" might be some of most ignorant people around these parts. Please think that you have to patch up to 3.x before you can play, and a lot of the game and its mechanics have changed since 1.x

Saying that, I wouldn't really mind a pre-bc server around, I don't see how it hurts anyone, people still pay for the subscription, so Blizz still get their outrageous funds. I don't see how this makes people who want to play at 60 "special" as some other poster said, does this mean the people who want to play on PvE servers consider themselves special and more important than people on PvP servers?

Because it's already possible to play at level 60. Blizzard don't need to host additional servers to provide this.

If pre-TBC gameplay is so popular, why has there been so few successful pre-TBC guilds?

Games move on. Accept it.

Because eventually those people will want content developed for the PRE servers and as stated Blizzard want to move forward not "pretend" forward.

Classic realms will never happen.

Because a Classic realm would require more work to balance, would allow people without expansions to have an equal footing (less money for blizz) among other things.

Also every heal class pre tbc was forced to be a healbot, every warrior was forced to be a tank, DK's bloodelfs and dreani didnt exist. Yeah, we sure want that back.

The best you can hope for is recycled content. IE Heroic Oldschool dungeons, just like with what was done with Nax in WotLK.

Hey, I love it, Northrend is a visual masterpiece and Wintergrasp is amazing. I'm just saying I understand why people would want to play some the 60 content, a lot of people probably missed out on this stuff too.

I'd wager that 99% of people who want pre-TBC realms are nostalgic players who've been here a few years.

I enjoyed pre-TBC myself too, but the game has moved on too much for me to want to go back.

This, on both points. I wouldn't like to see this trend of statistical manipulation continue any more deeply into Europe (or the world for that matter) than it already has.

Also, old content is old. We need more new content or we'll get bored. I would really hate to go back to raiding MC and Ony every night. (assuming classic realm means near the very start i.e no BWL/AQ/Naxx)

Besides if I feel the need to do so I can, but it'll be easier and faster.

Sigh..not had this one for a while.

Which flavour of "classic" do you want? Immediately prior to TBC? or 1.0? or any of the points in between? And do you think that every "Flat Earther" is going to agree with your choice?
