Corecraft is on the horizon as the "NEXT BIG THING" in WoW emulation.

Check it out. Its a different flavor than vanilla though.

I had fun leveling up on Nost and experiencing the World of Warcraft for the first time, but I thought the PvP was extremely lame. It was fun for a while in a light-hearted sort of way, but the PvP was way too meaningless and spammy for any enduring appeal. I sometimes wonder if PvP in WoW eventually got better.

nope - that made large scale pvp stupid.

Whether you're a pvp master or not, getting yanked by a death knight into a crowd of 30 of the opposing team was certain death. Making a "hero class" was a terribad idea.

No fun to be had there, and that's where I jumped ship.

Largely considered the Golden Age of WoW.

Had fun exploring Azeroth with you and Stickypal (Ketchup).

PvP did a lot better from a balance, competition, and meaningfulness standpoint after Vanilla. However, much like comparing Red99 and 2001 Rallos Zek, Nostalrius and 2004 WoW were completely different beasts despite content and mechanical similarities. As with any MMO, it's sort of a "you had to be there" type deal.

Anyhow, WoW PvP in the form of arenas was fantastic from a gameplay standpoint. There were balance hiccups for sure, but the game largely failed as an ESport (2007 to 2009?) because it was far too technical to spectate. That's at least my opinion.

New TBC server opening up Thursday, the 14th. I'll be playing there with some friends and I think my old nost guild. Its a BC server focused on BC content, the classic raids aren't working afaik and might not even be available to zone in to. Can choose to start at 60 or 1.
