Yes

only quit nos because of fear of it being shut down

which it fucking did

No. Because I don't live in the past.

No I know vanilla sucked.

I only played retail WoW for like 2 weeks in Cata, so yeah I'd give it a shot.

I played on Nos for a week or two and I could at least see the appeal.
>>
>>343958390
The problem isn't the content, the problem is the community. I could easily tolerate or even enjoy the dumbed-down mechanics Cata had if the Vanilla/BC community came back.
I don't know how much dumber it is now though

>>343958695
That's not the problem. A lot of those same people are still there. The problem is Blizzard gives players literally zero reason to group up with each other. Quests are laughably easy to the point where you will never die and you can two-shot most mobs. You can forego questing altogether and just grind the dungeon finder in heirloom gear and hit level 100 in less than a week. Dungeons from 1-90 take 5 minutes because all groups curbstomp everything and race through it as quickly as possible. Go queue as a DPS and take note of how many mobs the tank pulls, and the healer can just stand there doing literally nothing and still not wipe.

Then go play on a vanilla server as a tank and try to pull aggro from more than 3 enemies at a time and see what happens. Fuck Blizzard. They ruined the game.

Wipes still happen, it takes way longer than a week to hit level 100, especially if you have a life. I will admit questing is boring with little reward but they're trying to fix that with legion.

I'll believe it when I see it. They need to revamp the entire levelling experience from 1-80 at least because it's all fucked up right now. Seems like way too much effort for Blizzard to put in.

Vanilla was awful. Bags filled with soul gems, leveling was fucked with available quests ending before you can move on to new areas like Tanaris. Elementals were immune to spells of their element, making my fire mage worthless, tanking was an enormous pain in the ass with idiots over-nuking, mana a complete pain in the ass to manage, having to drink after every single encounter.

I miss the weather system, that's all.

>>343963934
It was really elitist and filled with memes. Truly the vanilla experience.
>>
>>343964476
It's the leveling up concept and getting stronger with the more time you put in. That's the appeal.

A level 100 might come into your zone and kill you while you're lvl 20. Next thing you know you're lvl 100 and doing the same thing to their faction.

Prot Warriors and Prot Paladins are literally gods and it feels awesome when no one can kill you.
>>
>>343958390
I might actually try WoW. My uncle tried to get me into it at one point but it just wasn't what I thought it was. Also, coming into it with all the shit already fucking there, just ten years of content, was pretty jarring.

I might give it a spin on a vanilla server.
>>
>>343964529

Vanilla wow was filled with elitist everquest players and normies as well. Nothing has changed.
>>
>>343963934
Nost was really social, I remember grouping up on there a lot more than I did in retail even in Vanilla, but that's probably just because of how many people were on a single server in Nost.

The mechanics of Vanilla really does bring out the community though.
>>
>>343964638
Sure. But I'm not a fan of "it gets better 20+ hours in", unless it's for a series i appreciate beforehand. WoW was not such a series

Naw, everyone knew about nost and people who never played wow were dropping by everyday. People got used to it and helped them, because a server with 5~7k people feels much greater than one with 2 or 3.

Want to see a elitist server? go to kronos.

whatever happened to vanilla

Because one of the entire end game raids was fire enemies, and some of the classes do mostly fire damage.

Means certain DPS classes/specs just don't work for an entire raid tier.

I made a char during 8x on kronos 1, first it was desolated people just logged for raids, then when Nostalrius went down it was flooded and went down constantly. Now it's back to square one.
>>
>>343963859
Even though things like transmog, new models, and other things would be really nice to have it's a really slippery slope. First they add the new models and transmog, then remove training/leveling up weapon skills, then suddenly before you know it mounts are available at level 20 and cheap as fuck, quest markers are put into the UI, and there are cash shop and recruit a friend mounts in game.

I'd sub for the first time, though I've played a lot of it on friends accounts.

More for the fresh start though, than because of it being vanilla. I've always wanted to sub, but had nobody to do it with. I can force some other noob to be my friend if everyone is starting over.
>>
>>343964861

Maybe it isnt the game for you, but MMOs very point is this grind. it doenst get better 20 hours in. It stays the same or even gets worse.

Pretty much every mmo rpg over the last 8 years did the mistake of not putting a huge grind wall in the middle. You reach maximum level, kill one of the 2 only challenging bosses and that is it. A mmo, "finished" in 30 days.

With wow you had always something to grind, levels early on, consumables for raiding in the middle, and finally, end game gear very, VERY later on.
>>
>>343958390
This is where Blizz is leaving money on the table. Far less people would unsub between content patches if they could fuck off to a legacy server with their bros when there's nothing to do on live.

>>343965448
Just throw in transmog, it's the best thing added to WoW since release.
>>
>>343965303
Blizzard changed the game to appeal to newcomers with new features and design philosophy changes as old team members left and new people were put to work on whatever they were doing next. They kept doing this for 12 years.

I mean for real, I don't think anybody played an MMO before WoW. The drastic changes didn't surprise me at all but everybody else seems caught off-guard.

I would, I had a lot of fun playing Nost, it being legal with less bugs and less risk of getting shut down suddenly would be great. I didn't even play that much of Nost compared to other people, I played really casually and only had a character in the mid 40's, and a few other characters between 5-30, but I still enjoyed it.
Also considering how many people only played after Cata, it would still be a new experience for all those people. If they did add legacy servers it would probably be played by more than just nostalgiafags, people who never played and only heard people talking about Vanilla WoW might try it out as well, which is a huge opportunity for Blizzard.

I could see it in a TBC legacy server, but ethereals weren't really a thing in vanilla. Plus it wasn't that hard to have a level appropriate matching set in vanilla if you were persistent. TBC was famous for clown suits for a reason.

Are you a faggot that played Vanilla?

People rarely grouped while grinding/leveling in vanilla. Killing mobs was not hard, but mindless and just took longer. You didn't have a rotation you literally spammed maybe one skill.

Who cares if leveling is easier for veterans that have done it multiple times.

No, they take about ~15 minutes at least. I would I just did it. The dungeons get actually mildly challenging around Cata/MoP.

They introduced expansions. The greatest problem with them was that they shuttled everyone to the max level endgame. Even in BC they had that mindset that everyone should be experiencing the current content, this betrayed one of the greatest parts of classic - that no matter what level you were, you were experiencing the content.

They added a mountain of shortcuts over the years, until now where the content is deprived because the developers can't create enough content to meet the standard they have set by having so many shortcuts.

Bullfuckingshit. I remember grinding to 60 solo because you ran out of quests in Vanilla.

This isn't Everquest, the big draw of Vanila WoW that was a way more casual/solo friendly MMO than any other before. It took away a lot of arbitrary game design that plagued other MMOs.

I think you're confusing Everquest with WoW.

Once you hit 60 though, you did have to spend hours in general looking for groups, that was Everquesty I guess.

I think their only hope is to reboot the whole thing into VR. That's the only way Blizzard could recapture that unique experience people had when they first encountered WoW.

When I first started playing the game (during TBC) I'd spend a lot of time just wandering around and exploring. That's pretty much lost now. If not because you get mounts at very low levels, but also because most players have seen a large portion of the map,

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time." 4

Are you fucking retarded?

Vanilla was never even closed to balance, there was no such thing as good scaling or being good.

Being good in Vanilla meant you were one of the 20 people in 40 man raids that didn't afk. It meant you buffed people every 5 mins as a paladin. It meant you spammed shadowbolt over and over again without killing yourself.

In pvp it meant getting insta-gibbed by shamans and rogues.

Nope, because it's not vanilla i want, it's new content

Vanilla had the perfect balance of making pal and running around the world, but it's not replaying legacy that it's will do it for me. I tried, but it's just not the same.

I want servers that has no instant party queues line-up, but instead you have to actually make groups the old fashioned way, they could give a bonus for doing dungeons like this, but i just want that system back to what it's was with the new content.

Moonguard is the only thing that gets me back every expansions since it's the only server that has people actually doing this sort of shit now.

hur dur

in pvp if you see a rogue going stealth or a shaman running up to you you run the opposite way unless you think you could beat him
as a lock i would still fuck up rogues but that is because i would dot them and run away
It is not that fucking hard to figure out.
Only the good survived
I seen 1 warrior defeat 10 people before and they had similar gear

Vanilla showed skill
Arena killed skill

Gear did scale perfectly
When you got a good piece it felt good
and it showed when you had it by its looks and how powerful it was
Blizzard forgot how to design a game

No.

Lucifer was an angel cast down from heaven because he thought he could do a better job than god.

I'm no bible thumper, but I think lucifer made a paradise for mortals without god's permission. Old testament god was a total dick, and couldnt stand being showed up by his lackey, so he cast him into the fires of hell, where he could rule.

Thinking of lucifer as an abstract psychological thing is retarded and lame. I much prefer to think of a hoofed demon with horns and a giant throbbing dick.

the bible doesnt mention of a war between god and the devil. The devil only pops up in various books. Like in Job he is the one telling god to fuck him up. And considering how Job is written it is likely that it is a story of another religion that somehow got taken over into the bible.

The whole story of lucifer being an angel that got cast out of the heavens is fanfic from Milton.

there is, or rather, was. Politicalisation, consumerism and media blew it up since atomising society makes it easier to mold. So there is a good for the community in that creating a new community is good.
Religion doesnt create consumerism. In fact, many religions have rejection of consumerism as highest good. Just look at monks, whether it are Tibetan monks or christian monks, same principle.

If WoW can't improve going forward, going backwards won't improve it either.

Not enjoying the game as it is now means you just don't play. If you can't live without playing an old version of a video game you have worse problems than not being able to play it.
