8 Things You Forgot About Vanilla World of Warcraft

Good video to recap what you're getting into here with the original game. Personally I like it but I think a lot of people are gonna bite off more than they can chew.

Would play casually

Horde troll hunter

Alliance dwarf warrior

As much as I adore vanilla wow, it totally takes over my professional life. The only addiction problem I've ever experienced came from freaking nilla' wow. So, for my career's sake, I'm going to *try* to stay away. Very exciting though! I'm glad Blizzard has finally listened to their fanbase.

They should do what Runescape did:

1. make a classic server with a few minor QOL changes,
2. keep the content classic/timelined for X amount years
3. then introduce brand new classic-style content that was never seen before. This can mean harder raids than Naxx3.0, harder dungeons, etc, something to keep the server going if it isnt a progression server.

It'll be ran entirely by a separate team, separate developer team, etc, just like Runescape.

It's important to remember that progressing through Molten Core, BWL, AQ40, etc, is extremely easier a decade+ later. They will need to do some customizing in my opinion to keep end game engaging to their players.

I also figured this would be free with a subscription, but other forums are hinting that it would require a recent/upcoming expansions to access classic, hmmm.

gundumb seriously upset someone would do trivial content 2 levels higher than the bare minimum

Van cleef is a 20 elite with 4 adds that are 18-20 elites as well. Good luck doing that at level 14 or 15 buddy. Maybe you are confused with the current iteration of crappy wow?

[skarlorn]

Level 18 pals is an off handed generalization.

Generalizations are used when it would be inefficient to state the exact scope of a target object. For instance, if I had written "brought fellow hordies who are between the levels of 15-20 and may be close game friends, new acquaintances, or even random who are interested in the following activities," it would have been both uneccessary and over specific.

Seriously hopes this explanation aids you in future communication.

Im ready for classic wow!!! Been watching popular streamers who are advocates for vanilla reactions to the announcement and it just brings a tear to my eye. I never thought it would come. I had a 60 war and rogue on Nost when it shut down initially and i was super sad. I have been avoiding it mostly since then for fear of losing all that progress again. Super stoked for a server that isnt going anywhere!

Vanilla wow is awesome!!!
