I'd love to play an MMORPG. But almost none of them exist, and the ones that do exist charge by the month. I can't afford that.

It still is a heck of a game.

This one's completely new to me. I'm just amazed.

IN A WORLD

cringe

Don't be jealous.

someone explain to me why they're doing classic, and not TBC or wrath, which bother improved greatly upon the dull experience classic was?

Because Classic is where the interest is, where private servers were full and what people signed petitions for.

>not enough quests between 40 and 55
>everything costs an obscene amount of gold
>getting raids together takes several days
>end game content is a fucking dragon
>no outland
>no Karazhan
>no Sunwell
>no blood elves

Why are people so retarded? It's pure nostalgia speaking. Both TBC and later Wrath vastly improved upon the game, it first went to absolute dogshit after Wrath.

They probably will at some point but classic WOW is extremely popular among private server players. The last I check there were servers with upwards of 10k people on a single server. Nobody really plays other expansions aside from Wrath but even that doesn't come close.

>no blood elves
>this is a bad thing

Wrath was a huge drop from tbc

no bully pls I just wanted to hit stuff with my sword

and there were still more subscribers than for any expansion.

BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS

AWWW DUUUDE

No the first patch was okay, nax was a bit too easy perhaps but ulduar made it fucking amazing again. It started to go to shit when LFD was introduced. That's the clear turning point.

I got permabanned from the game for “manipulating the world economy”

And then again for calling all the black characters my “booty slave niggers”

God damn Ulduar was so fucking good. Peak raid content desu.

Uhm yeah I’m thinking you’re based

Some tbc servers had 10k population but they are plagued by cash shops or shitty buggy scripts. Other than Nostalrius and the other rip off server, Wrath private servers are much more popular.

>manipulating the world economy
?

Dropped your pants

LFD wasn't a turning point. The point had turned long before. LFD happened long after the slow and long degradation of the community via casualization had successfully killed any community in the game. For if you don't give people a challenge or something to strive for, why would they come together at all?

Once again normalfags have ruined another thing. Last time I found a decent group for the new raid in Destiny it was some guy who got paid to do raids on other people's accounts. Probably the most insufferable person I've ever raided with.

Yeah
I was scamming guilds and the auction house

rs was a shit game for poorfags who couldnt play wow
once you graudated to wow as a kid you never looked back and people who still to this day play runescape are the ultimate losers

The unnerfed heroic dungeons were peak WOW for me. They took effort to get access to and everybody had to be competent, at least before tanks and healers start to really get all their raid gear. If you were a DPS you could easily be killed in one hit so you had to respect the game and control mobs.

literally wrong, WoW pop peaked in wrath you retard

Runescaspe already did it. WoW is now so pathetic that they're trying to copy Runescape. Difference is Runescape had soul once, unlike WoW.

Fuck yes man, remember Shattered Halls? The others were great but that one was the fucking best.

false. server populations peaked because they consolidated dead servers. overall subscriptions were down.

blizzard is the grandmaster of phrasing failure as success.

even with 3 mages that place was rough the first few times

I remember at first actually being afraid of that place because there were a bunch of pulls of like 6+ mobs or something like that.

disgusting that there are people who actually think this. i'll give Blizzard a year before they either fuck Classic up with updates that no one wants or they let it go stale by not updating it at all and letting people find out how boring the game actually is.

i've been playing runescape off and on for 15 years and it's still fun. WoW is full of 30 year old boomers who just reminisce about the old days since the current game is absolute piss

I miss the good ol' days

I remember frost trapping two mobs at a time to keep those groups under control. There were some of them that would do some sort of CC on the tank that would wreck him in a second if they weren't CCed until the end. Fuck that place was fun.

do you think people are still going to play retail other than an ever-shrinking niche? do retailfags think this about BfA of all things? holy shit dude if you think this is anything but a de facto reboot of the game for cool people then you're living in a fantasy.

The place definitely wasn't as hard as everyone says it was, but it was a nice challenge, especially if your gear wasn't raid quality, and it required actually communicating a little with your party.

>glorifies the long past days of an MMO in his head

Blizzard fucked up the game, but honestly the player base is what's really made the game unplayable. WoW Classic isn't gonna fix that you're not 13 anymore.

sweety, blizzard was dead-set on this never happening and if retail weren't an utter and total failure then classic would not be happening. the tone of blizzard in the years leading up to this more than established this fact if you don't want to include their actual words saying "this won't happen. fuck off." but now it IS happening. see? you all lost, and lost hard. really try to grasp just how completely and totally you have lost in not only a spiritual, but also an economic and geopolitical sense since you are the dumbest, gayest fucks on the planet to boot.

>"but I have a life, I can't grind for four hours a day so I can get raid geared"
>"no problem, here's LFR"

This kind of mentality removed all of the mystery and awe of seeing someone with great gear or a rare mount. Suddenly no one had worked towards any of the gear they had, they simply clicked a button over and over until they got a group which wasn't 100% mouthbreathing retards and they beat the "end game" content easily.

You’re either playing with a chink, Brazilian, pajeet, or some guy trying to “make it” on twitch.

Chinese subscriptions were pay-by-the hour, received free hours regularly, and were never considered canceled no matter how long they went idle until late cataclysm. A cheap chink could easily play for free if they created enough accounts and putting multiple characters on an account was just a waste.

Actual players peaked in vanilla and dropped with every expansion.

Online gaming is full of cheating Chinese, flaming Brazilians, and “sex please” pajeets now.

Have sex

im getting wow classic when it drops, will i be able to experience it like it was in the old days?
i never played during the good times of wow because i didnt have a computer until about 2013 and by then no one i knew played

will it be as good as my friends described?
will i be able to experience it as it was meant to be experienced?

He was like level one or two. He had no abilities to put on the bar.

So with WoW Classic, are they just gonna give us what WoW was like at release? Cause release was terrible.
I'd much prefer to keep the world how it was at release but give us all the quality of life improvements they put in over the years.

I played it at blizzcon and it seems pretty comfy.

Not saying you're wrong, but where's your proof of this?

cool, i have a couple friends who agreed to also play with me
they seem pretty excited for it

Wrath was when shit started to become gay.

Based SP kids using teamspeak.

Burning Crusade was the only expansion worth playing. And it was WoW at its best.
Illidan was literally the best raid boss ever.

>end game content is a fucking dragon
Uh there's four 40 man raid dungeons in the end game.
And only one of them is garbage. I'll let you figure out which one I mean.

LowIQ faggot. TBC was meh at best and WOTLK ruined WoW. All the dogshit that came after is a direct result of wotlk.

>TBC was meh at best
TBC had the best raid content and was therefore the best WoW ever was.

I'm kind of glad Wrath came out because it made me quit the game. There was a major patch before the expansion which broke paladins and from what I've read it didn't get much better. I was a gladiator hunter getting stomped by paladins wearing nothing but auction house gear.

Wrath was the expansion that killed raiding.

You need to level up your bait skills

Name one dungeon that was better than Black Temple in TBC.

you're probably talking to a person who was never able to raid until wrath.

your moms vagina

See

Welfare epics ruined WoW.

he just said it

I'd say all the launch dungeons except molten core. black temple was so nice because it was a huge departure from the "linear corridor with loot pinata at the end" that all content was quickly becoming as early as TBC.

>waaaaaah people got purples that didn't waste their life raiding 40 hours a week like my loser ass did waaaaaaaaaaaah

>I'd say all the launch dungeons except molten core
So none? At launch there was nothing but molten core.

Mobas aren't dead. Not that I care about them.

what are you trying to say?

You probably never raided in any expansion.
Welfare epics were a thing in Burning

nigga can't get shoulders or helm at that level, let alone Stoneform Shoulders or a mail coif, the earliest of which is available at 25, but the one he has looks like a mithril coif. Overlord chest is plate which is at 40, any shield with that model is not available until later and worst of all, Alliance characters can never get the Frostwolf tabard. fucker got all that without learning any new skills and didn't even eat his starter food, even though I'm fairly sure humans start with darnassian bleu and not meat.

All that shit was cosmetic for the show.
Remember they had Kenny as a human hunter which wasn't possible.

Yes it was a dungeon. Not a raid. It just happened to be a dungeon where you could take up to 15 people.
But technically it was not a raid.

polishing my rod is all your good for cocksucker

intentionally or not, you opened the door to dungeons, and very few expansion dungeons, no matter the player count, compare favorably to dungeons like blackrock spire, uldaman, blackrock depths, etc.

If you like BRD so much how come it was like pulling teeth to get a group together to do quests in the zone?

because of how many quests required you to go to different parts of it, with no overlap.

Which is why it was a terrible dungeon that no one liked.

clearly edited

it was poorly designed from a gameplay perspective. Whereas the linear corridors with loot pinyatas at the end are well designed from a gameplay perspective. People hated it mostly because it was easy to run it twice as many times as it took to get sick of it, and five times as many times as it was necessary to see every inch of it.

Vanilla was ventrilo. End of story.

This episode got so many normalfags that I knew into WoW. They all quit before their first month of subscription time was up, went back to playing Gaylo and Gays of War, and immediately messed with me for continuing to play it.

Which is sad cause the actual game is nothing like the episode of South Park.

which is funny because they only wanted to play it so they could be the guy running around instantly killing everyone.

>LFR
Not really. Pugs and guilds still exist. No one consider LFR real raiding. Not even normalfags. LFR doesn't even give you good gear. It's just there to allowed casuals to see the raid related plot lines.

Legacy servers aren't a new concept. Several MMOs have done it over the years. I'm surprised it took Blizzard this long to realize there's demand for an official WoW Classic server. Or maybe they knew all along, and it took them ruining the ongoing version to cater to fans.
