Blizzard announce official Classic/Vanilla Server Development

[Phenyo]

cant wait to gank people in EPL/sithilus

[Shinko]

there are no more PVP or PVE server scrubs

[Jauna]

Didnt official legacy servers in EQ have lots of non-classic elements stuck in older worlds like spells for hybrids at level 1 and spells every level for everyone?


I understand that its two different companies and stuff but dont get your hopes up for a 100% legit nostalgia ye elden timery time good feel stuff.

also ganna take a bet because Activision, the idea of paying 60 dollars + 15 first month sub might also be a thing

Wow I did not see that coming.

[Baler]

The real question.

Is shit classic? Or will they cut corners.

It will use a modern client, presumably.

This is what I'd like to know. The client change from vanilla to burning crusade affected several aspects. Off the top of my head.. talent trees.

Along with the complexity of the addons they allow players to use now. Just like Classic Live EQ when the internet wasn't super fast and people didn't know everything. Versus modern day P99 where we use a more modern client and have information at our finger tips. That greatly impacts the end user experience.

Another thing is will they use the classic models or allow people to use the new WOD models. (classic vs luclin [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] models)

And we could go on to even talk about the state of gamers now vs back then and what affect that has in how things shape out.

Sounds like it will be Classic*
