Once they split the servers the excitement and thrill were gone. After that you could be standing around all alone with nobody but you for as far as you could see. No more getting jumped, no more thrill of play, no more meeting random people through circumstances....but you had the whole of zones all to yourself. You could log in ... to a hollow world.

To be honest, the time to play vanilla WoW had passed long before Blizzard opened their Classic servers. If you didn't experience Nostalrius or its spin-off servers (Elysium and Light's Hope), you missed the boat. Blizzard made too many compromises (non-classic AV, non-classic client, sharding, etc.) for the experience to be truly classic.

alot of ppl like me accomplished our goal of getting to lvl 35 and getting all the legacy items before they got removed, now we are just relaxing and playing the game at a slow pace, got a long time before kunark comes out, even playing slowly most of us will be 50 by the time the planes open, which will be poopsocked by ppl still living with their parents anyway.

can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that our biggest gripes on p99 are dealing with decisions taken to mitigate TOO many players and classic balance debates

instead of bots, hackers, harry potter maps, kronos, and group/guild-sized multi boxes like on every tlp

pras p99. it serves a seriously endangered niche

I live in Japan and play after work my time, which is like early early morning NA time(3a-7a). I also play on Teal, the server with the smaller popuation. I have no problem finding groups to join every day and I'm a ranger. If you aren't finding groups and seeing empty zones then you're looking in the wrong places or you're antisocial. This thread is dumb.

HEY Partner! We're obviously not ALL smugly brilliant space high elves!! If we were, we'd be dueling non-stop to SHUT UP the arrogamce but we'd be smart enough to find groups.

Go back to paper tanking in style, Partner! Duel me if you dare

All legacy items?? LOL hoo hoo hooooo....I'd want a million cigarettes and 500 bottle of booze to burn away my brain cells/memory of all those Legoland items camping trips before I could RELAX.

Having played a toon on both Green and Teal, there seems to be much more grouping on Green than Teal. I think it's easier for you because you were there at launch and there's many more people your level around from that launch. The server is quite dead when I play on Teal 12am EST and 10am EST. There's many times that I've been the only person in the newbie zones and at the most maybe 5 people tops. Green is more active in my experience.

I'm probably going to get shouted down for this but pickzones were a good thing and solved everyone's problem and they didn't have to split the population base. People that wanted to group or solo could find a pickzone that allowed that. I can hear it now "but it's too easy" because people think "time sink" means it's difficult.
