>sharding at starting zone and "important" locations like world bosses "and other important areas"
>phasing
>store mounts (and who know what else)
>paying sub for a decade old game

Yeah, I cant wait to gather a raid to storm enemy factions capital to kill their boss, only to see most of the raid to get phased.
Just like the good old times!

The boulding you are calling "home" may indeed be somewhat accurate recreation of your actual home from way back, but the woodwork is clearly off and theres some odd rooms what weren't there and in general layout is off, to say nothing about the tapestry. In the end of the day you are just standing there surrounded by odd strangers walking about and your "family" is just bunch of mannequins.

But hey, atleast you can pay for some random lady to yell for you to take out trash or that food is ready, so thats something, right?

why is the bottom picture bad whats wrong with living a comfy neet life playing wow all day?

You're not going "home." You can never go "home" again. What made classic WoW great was that sense of awe and wonder as you saw and learned more of Azeroth. It was discovering the solutions to quests on your own for the first time. It was that first good guild you ran with where you developed real friendships and had shared experiences with. That's what made Vanilla so special, and that's something you can't replicate.

So you dont actually like videogames, don't u?
Sharding/phasing only the first weeks so the starting zones dont get messy, and nothing about store mounts wtf. Did u even read anything?

Shut the FUCK up, my favorite streamer said classic will be great and kill retail. Im so exited to go back and play vanilla again

private servers are shit
bugs, lags, server can be down at any time
less players to do raids/groups with
weird players who just play because it's free

And that's different from current retail how?

main problem with private servers is that they can shut down or do a server wipe at any minute with no warning. i've seen it happen before on multiple servers where blizzard cease and desist them or some admin drama causes them to wipe the server db causing everyone to restart from scratch.

i dont see a negative, guy is enjoying his life doing what he likes

>only to shutdown again, now for good
Gee, I wonder why.

every private server has shady donation shit. either admins selling gold/items/accounts to donators and not telling the public or they blatantly have a "donation shop" where you can just pay to win.

from that face on the bottom panel he doesn't seem to be enjoying it, more like he's sunk to deep to quit now.

>8.2 will have lots of content I swear!!!!
Can’t trick me this time retail fag

Im a retailfag that decided to try out vanilla on a private server to see what its about and I love it so far. Its strange, in retail WoW I get annoyed and frustrated if a quest is taking too long or if I'm not steamrollong through content, but in vanilla for some reason I feel content with the slower pace of everything. Im not even annoyed with all the autoattacking in the early levels while I wait to use my skills.

I remember grinding that in vanilla by killing Frost Giants for eons. I also ground Pirates for the Hat that when you clicked on it spawned the parrot and then later reground the goblins back up to exalted, and in the process of doing so I got the blue parrot pet to drop. I also routinely ran ZG and eventually got both the original tiger and the original raptor, I ran Barron so much that I got his Deathcharger, in the process of becoming exalted with Hydraxian I got both parts of Thunderfury to drop and got Thunderfury after killing the quest boss in Silithus. Speaking of Silithus I ran AQ20 and AQ40 so much that I became exalted with the Faction there, and spent a good 2 hours one day repsawning the first wave of trash in Aq40 so I could farm all 4 bug mounts. Got the remaining Drop and Quest vanilla pets after I finished off the mounts(I bought all my faction's mounts including the Alterac Valley Ram). When figuring out what else to do I wound up doing the whole AQ40 Scepter quest chain just for fun, the hardest part I had trouble with was killing that huge ass shark that spawns and I wound up requesting help for that. I also eventually did The Insane and pre-cataclysm loremaster and camped out in Dire Maul for the special transformation orb. I also did the Hunter class quest where you go around killing these other NPC hunters using only specific abilities so that you could be rewarded with a special looking bow.

I essentially beat vanilla in all ways I could feasibly do it. I even attended an OG naxx 40 raid and Exalted myself with Argent Dawn

is it time yet bros?

retail is more stable
people who pay to play are less incentivized to troll and fuck around
playerbase is gonna be bigger, there's gonna be retailfags, buyfags, nostalgiafags, classicfags meanwhile on private servers you just have freefags and classicfags

but I already experienced all that content, and it was unknown and magical back then. now it's all known. magic's gone

WoW is dead

I already got my nostalgia fill on Nostalrius. Classic won't be the same because they aren't even using the same 2004 client. It's the nu-battle.net focused client.

Playing wotlk again and i'm having a lot of fun. Even more than back on the day.
Only will be dead if you want it to be.
Always new amazing experiences to get in a mmo and new things to discover.
All known? Do you know everything? If everytime a game is finished by someone else ur not playing it... maybe games are not for you and you'r the problem

>client somehow matter in target-based no physics MMO
Inb4 "muh wallwalking"

>less players to do raids/groups with

That's not true, modern private servers pop is few times bigger than what used to be the standard in Vanilla. I'm actually concerned they won't up the pop in Classic, I would honestly hate playing anything less than 5k.

>maybe games are not for you
but I'm playing games everyday of my life for decades and still enjoy them you retarded dipshit

I loved WoW back then but I am done with it because it was a time and place for me that is long past

Modern WoW client runs like shit in crowded scenarios due to all the bloat they added for the past 14 years but still manage to make the game single core CPU based.

Attached: 421651521.jpg (630x451, 65K)

So because it's from a "long past" you think it gotta be dead or it's bad.
Name a better mmorpg.
I've tried A LOT and no game gets even closer to it.

just reached the old world of roguecraft videos, did warlocks really have it that bad in vanilla or were they patched by 1.2, I really wanted to roll one on allience but that combined with WotF has put me off quite a bit, I might roll mage instead but I know they're overpopulated, seems like there's no winning

Classicfags are blind retards trying to relive the glory days but there is absolutely nothing redeeming about the mentally-impaired shills who still unironically play retail WoW. This isn't a "muh Yea Forums hates everything" moment, even the content creators, websites tailored to shilling Blizz's latest work and the e-celebs getting paid to suck off BFA all explicitly damn the current game. Whether or not Classic lives or dies is irrelevant to retail, because retail is already dead.

except that all you see now is classic shilling by the zoomer """content creators"""""" and """"ecelebs""""". people in their 20s claiming they're """"vanilla veterans"""""""" because they played on nost.

>muh progression need to be saved
I see you think that if you pose an argument as a non-arguement you'll seem like you have a case. But in reality it just makes you look like a far gone retard

You do know that classic is not the vanilla game right?
That its the newer engine and the world remade?
There is no way it will be 100% accurate. In fact being NuBlizz it probably wont be alike at all.

Yea, I love these vanilla veterans that don't even know how racials work.

Who else is an absolute Alpha and knows how to play WoW properly without being a dramatic cunt? What are you playing while you wait for Classic? I tried FF14 recently. It's okay. I'll dip into it a few more times before this summer, I'm sure. Solid, but not amazing. Kenshi is fire out of nowhere.

>phasing
They said phasing would only be around at the start of the game. Stop with this fake arguement

It was finding Mankirk’s wife at random while doing another quest and wondering why everyone else had such a problem.

I too went and tried FFXIV after I realized current retail was so bad it couldn't even "scratch the itch" for me.
I've been playing on and off for a year and half or so. You notice the few things wow could have improved upon with this game, like the music. Fuck, XIV has got such a stupidly good soundtrack it's a crime. Too bad it has terrible networking, no PvP and a shit community, else I could maybe have ended up liking it as much as old WoW.

No, both the user and devs said that sharding would be at early zones and later important areas, whatever those may be.

WATCH THE FUCKING STREAM.

This is the only way to play wow since mid wrath.

He clearly doesnt know the difference between sharding and phasing, or is just trolling. Either way don't give him (You)s this easy.

>What are you playing while you wait for Classic?
Warframe manages to scratch most of my MMO itch, sometimes a bit of ESO for varieties sake.

>its not 100% like the game
Honestly this is a topic in every goddamn thread, but I'll say it again:
The truth is a little bit more twisted. For example first and foremost the market is so fucking shit people would rather go and play a 10+ years old ass game than anything new.
Now the second is hurtful: I bet that most people don't want vanilla as the game itself, they want that time period to come back, that mindset of developers and the community: in short I think most people would go for game with these elements rather than an old ass game which has been exploited already.

Yes its good if there is no substance next to it, but the one I mentioned before would be better, even vanilla is an unfinished mess, so it would be about damn time to actually put in what was missing.

I tried XIV and teso, but its just not good, they are both carrying that accursed bad modern mentality what makes the games playable, but they are way too far from being something groundbreaking as WoW. Sadly many of us wait for that groundbreaking moment, even if it never comes, because other games, while not bad, they are just not as good.

as amazing as the QoL and graphics are for ffxiv, ive been playing a vanilla wow classic server after a year of stormblood, and holy shit this is what its like to have ACTUAL fun. I'm playing an actual game, not just a dress up weeklies grind simulator.

also the community is relatively bad, but MUCH less terrible than xiv weeaboo degenerate fuckbrain community. i hate the xiv community so much after playing for years. its just a different breed than WoW, which is more 'normie'

>its just a different breed than WoW, which is more 'normie'
I don't know user, I feel like I met a lot more mentally ill or depressed losers over there in XIV and I don't know if that's more "normalfag" than the saner crowd I experienced in WoW.
Overall I'd say the WoW community is way nicer though, that I guess we can agree on. Maybe that's because Blizzs moderation isn't as harsh? I struggle to recall people getting banned over petty shit in WoW, while I can picture a FC mate getting suspended for using the word "fag".

you misread, sorry, i meant that WoW is more normalfag. by far. western fantasy, casual experience.

last time I played on a vanilla private server it was pure boredom. you do fetch quest infinite because that's the only good source of exp if you're not an AoE mobgrinding spec. dungeons are reserved for loot only and those take extra long because its incredibly padded with slow mana regen times and spamming LFG.

Oh I'm retarded. Yea, we meant the same thing.

Once they break say that u wanna cheer him up playing some vanilla.
Enjoy.

U got til summer, don't lose precious time.

Mostly because of corrupt management.

I realize you're going to keep pulling shit out of your ass that you think proves your point but you're wrong. especially about the "vanilla veterans" being zoomers

>easily checked facts are "shit out of your ass"
>meanwhile your delusions are proofs
Here, have a last (you), tardo.

WoW runs on the Warcraft 3 engine, a game engine made from 2001 back when single core CPUs were very common.

They haven't bothered to implement multi-core support because they're either lazy or incompetent.

going to say it now why would you want to even play it
i agree it should just be an option to play to show

now its your turn to move on.

>y-you were just having fake fun on private servers

Vanilla wow was pretty grindy and shitty.
Had many anoing issues (Like lacks of quests at some point of game so you must grind untill you get big enought level for next quest) fixed by TBC.

Not to mention Wrath Of The Lich king even improved WoW (Especially leveling)

6 level 35 hunters with 280 alch for transmute undeath to water and arcanite bars after bwl patch. if they don't fix the pathing for the mobs in DM you lvl a mage and farm that

Why don't they do classic the way Jagex did OSRS?

I was so hype around 4/5 months ago
Rolled on a private server, levelled a warrior and mage to 40, did a bunch of research on the game and what to do, where to level, which spells to take, important gear, quests , gameplay, talent builds you name it

Then my hype just fell off. Because I don't know a single person playing it and it's so clearly a game to be played with friends. I'll play anything so long as I have someone to play with

needing to grind to hit 60 was something that only happened in the very early patches. you have to purposefully go out of your way to end up having to grind.

Same.

All private servers are hopelessly glitchy because Blizzard dev tools never leaked.

I'm not playing this zoomer cash grab.

At least it was before Blizzard will fuck everything up
