It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Which expansion killed WoW? How long did classic WoW stay good, like does WoW have it's own version of Planes of Power?

Burning Crusade and WotLK were both great, but I feel like it went downhill after that and went for the ezmode crap (like saving tokens for raid quality gear instead of getting the actual drops). I quit like 2 or 3 months into Cataclysm.

Cataclysm is wows version of planes of power. Much like EQ it was best with its two first expansions and it nosedived from there.

To the OP:

I just came from Classic WoW. I got a warrior to level 47. I am in a good guild with good peeps, but it just isn't doing it for me. I played EQ back in 1999 till 2004, and then went to WoW. I played Wow until it became complete crap and even hung in there till WoTLK, which sucked as well. I also played on this server back in 2009 till around late 2010.

I was so excited bout Classic WoW. I took a week off from work to play it. But the game is different from classic EQ, my friend. So I will try to explain myself and perhaps you can relate. Ya see, it all comes down to the community.

The majority of the population on classic WoW is rushing to level 60. It's a mad dash to the finish line. Which makes little sense as classic WoW's leveling experience was content among it's own! Why anyone would want to rush to the max level without enjoying the ride is beyond me. But a fact is a fact- Most WoW players believe that the level 1-60 grind is nothing but an obstacle to get to the "real game", which is the raiding scene.

The majority of the population on classic WoW are anti-social. I can't tell you how many groups I was randomly invited to, only to have it either break up shortly after the objective was complete, or the group would have players going in and out of the group as they completed their quest and they left to go hand it in and we would take on another player that needed the quest items. No one even talks to each other.

The majority of the population on classic WoW are min-maxers. There are so many people talking about how "Druids can't tank" and "you have to be a Dwarf of you're going to be a priest", and as a result, everyone is talking numbers and DPS and TPS and all sorts of other nonsense! If you're like me, that is NOT what brought you to this kind of game! I am here for the community and the fun that this all brings as I can let go of my real-life problems and live thru my character for a short while.

I could go on like this forever, and I am not bashing classic WoW, it is just different. In classic WoW, when I logged on, I was in constant conflict with myself. Would I be able to raid? Will I get to level 60 fast enough to not be left in the dust? When I log on to Project 1999, I am just thinking about other things. I am sitting down somewhere and reading /ooc chat and trying to help people. In classic WoW, I went back into Elwynn Forest around level 40 to see if any of the lower level players needed help. I helped about ten different groups kill Hogger, and not ONE of those groups /thanked me, or even said thank you.

I don't expect them to say thank you, as that is not the goal of my assistance to them, I just would like some damn human interaction!

So on Sunday, I logged off from classic WoW and decided that I would log on to Project 1999 for the first time in years and years. I was so worried that I was going to fall behind more than I already am in classic WoW. I would have to say that didn't even go thru my mind once I was logged in and looking around for my guildmaster. I couldn't even find my guildmaster, I wound up giving my note to the wrong NPC and lost it, and did not get my newbie robe.

I didn't even care, nor did I miss classic WoW even for one minute. The difference in community was noticed! I was buffed and helped by multiple players in my 3 hours of play yesterday in Project 1999. I have still yet to be helped in Classic WoW, even though I try to request help thru the cesspool which is known as their LFG chat.

Once again, it comes down to community. Who do you want to be surrounded by? Thousands and thousands of players looking towards the end of the game, with only their own interests in mind? Listening to players gargle out numbers of encounters? Do you really think Blizzard is going to be able to get rid of layering before phase 2? Nope! They severely underestimated the interest in classic and they dropped the ball as far as how many servers they released!

The madness in classic WoW is never going to stop! It is never going to get better! That community is different than this community.

Which one do you want so spend your free time in? Good luck!

I disagree. TBC and WoTLK is nothing even comparable to RUins of Kunark and Scars of Velious! Verant kept the game on a horizontal progression as opposed to Blizzard's vertical progression. TBC made old world content and old world zones irrelevant. That is how you ruin a game! The reason why this era in EQ's history is so popular and well received is due to the fact that the the first two expansions of EQ, everything is still relevant!

I never played Wow until a few weeks ago, where I tried out the Classic server.

Honestly, the first 30 minutes were amazing; it was like a second experience of being brand new to EQ! I have fizzled out by the end of the teens, but it was great having the chance to play 'the real second everquest' on a fresh unexpanded server.

The experience really invigorated me to play even more EQ, which with green around the corner is surely a good thing!
