I have to admit, Blizzard was correct. I did think I wanted Classic, I followed Classic news every single day and even took off work to play it on day 1. However, after playing to level 45 and putting about hours into the game the nostalgia completely wore off.
Classic is not a good game. The mob mechanics are outdated with bad AI, the graphics are really really bad, the quests are so boring and bland (pick up x, kill z, talk to y) with no justification to be doing anything no cool story, the game design is horrible (quests sending you to an area and then walking back and then another quest sends you back to the area or having to go back and forth to deliver a letter to someone 5 feet away?), the UI elements are so lacking (no HP showing? Quest tracking inconsistent, node tracking inconsistent, etc), the game is slow for no reason (i.e. having to kill 55 boars for 4 livers?). Really it's so boring, there is no appeal to this game.
Anyway, I have to give it to Blizzard, I did forget how bad Classic actually was and I do say that retail is much better.
I suspect in the coming weeks the nostalgia will wear off for everyone (it seems to be already happening as full servers on day one are medium or low now) so players are dropping off like flies and this will just have been a big waste of development that could have been done to make retail much better.

a smash thread died for this
Anyone who thought they wanted it obviously flagged themseleves as someone who never actually suffered through original classic. Thats why alot of people are disappointed and are already giving up. Classic wasnt fun it was bare bones game play and boring and tedious as fuck and everything was a chore. To anyone who fell for this meme because their "le favorite epic streamer asmongold." Told them this would be amazing, im glad they wasted all their time waiting; only to realize like many have been telling them, vanilla was shit and wouldnt be worth fooling with.

another retail tranny bites the dust. You've guys have been dropping like flies.
>big waste of development that could have been done to make retail much better.
It no different, even if they don't make classic, they will still fuck up the retail because all the dev use to make wow are already gone.
>their "le favorite epic streamer asmongold." Told them this would be amazing
Unironically this
Ashmongold still playing classic or have he stop? If he stop playing it would be even more epic
this copypasta is getting tired
Do you guys think they'll completely remake the CG cinematics for WC3 Reforged?
go away mr. Allen Brack. No one wants to play your shitty casino retail
Yes
WoD actually lived for at least month with servers being full
It took one week and top euro server doesn't has queues during day time anymore.
name and server of your level 45?
WOD raids were actually quite good. But WOD started showing their lack of interest in delivering more content in contrast to make easy profit with low effort. Selfie patch is the purest example of that, as well as several plotlines and new zones being cut off WOD.
eh dungeons are fun. having level goals daily is nice and gives me something to do.

No, blizzard was wrong.
Lots of people want to revist games they used to play, problem is the current iteration of WOW is nothing like the vanilla version people played before cataclysm, and cataclysm is very badly made with most zones turning from adventuring hubs to cinematic memefests like Redridge First Blood and CSI: Westfall.
Thats the problem with MMOs in general, because they use draconian "Our servers or else" when they inevitably die people can't play them anymore, or worse, like WOW, when they ruin the game with poorly implemented updates trying to 'fix' the game, they inevitably ruin made the game fun in the first place, WOW was a somber, immersive game of just killing things and doing quests, the modern game is a giant cinematic clusterfuck that does nothing interesting because it has to gut its own gameplay for the sake of some meme speedrun metagame 'balance'
Jokes on you, its better then I remember it being. Been playing vanilla on and off for the past 4-5 years too, still love every button half press
>WOW was a somber, immersive game
>human village is literally two houses
Wow was your first mmo or something?
Its a game you can just sit back and play, and the music is very fucking somber and enchanting, rather then the bombastic orchestral shit of nu-WOW
