They didn’t fall flat because they were expansions to the best MMO ever. If you just released either TBC or Wrath standalone, nobody cares.
If they release either, you will then see for yourself.

its been only 5 weeks. Most people aren’t 60 or even dungeon geared.
The people complaining about burnout need to go outside desperately.
wrath still would have been more popular than vanilla if it came out first.
Arthas was always the attraction for most people.
Unfortunately, most the people on these forums and most that are playing are all retailers. Which is good and bad.
I think people are growing tired of standing still and auto attacking.
4 mages and a priest healer dungeon runs… real challenging 5 man content…
A botched launch where XP, gold and gear was exploited.
Is anyone surprised people want to move on already? At least BC and WOTLK had quality/challenging 5 man content.

If we all join this retail server would there be:
- TBC talents and abilities
- No flying in the old world
- Attunements
- No goblins, DH’s, DK’s, Pandas, Monks and Worgens
- A pre Cata world
- Pre Cata quests
- No tokens or other cash shop stupidity
- No new models
- No CRZ
- A working WorldDefense channel
- Dedicated PvP servers
???
No??
Then it wouldn’t be TBC would it.

A “Vocal Minority” is just that, a loud small group.
Remember the Original game was released in 2004 with a level cap of 60.
|The Burning Crusade |January 2007 |70|
|Wrath of the Lich King |November 2008 |80|
|Cataclysm |December 2010 |85|
|Mists of Pandaria |September 2012 |90|
|Warlords of Draenor |November 2014 |100|
|Legion |August 2016 |110|
|Battle for Azeroth |August 2018 |120|
For 3 years we had the original game. Yes there is a ton of content in the original game, enough to last even an average player about a year.
What happens is, this “vocal minority” just blows through everything, skipping a MASSIVE amount of the content. These people just quest and level through based on a route layed out by someone else. So yes, they will get bored pretty quick. However, the majority of the players in classic are taking their time, finding those little hidden quests, exploring, keeping up with their crafting, questing on both continents, the entire social aspect, ect…
Right now my highest character is 23 Hunter, stopped leveling for the moment to track down those super pets that are hidden around (and get them leveled up), leveling up leather working to make better gear for the 25-30 range, and helping out others do harder quests.
In the end, the people who want instant gratification will always push through the game to the end, then be bored. The people who take their time will get to enjoy the game from start to finish. And personally, they should NEVER do expansions in classic. Classic is just that, the ORIGINAL incarnation of the game. If you want expansions, there is current Retail version that already has all of that content.
So just Ignore the “Vocal Minority” and enjoy your time in Azeroth!
No.
My turn now?
Stop making the ridiculous-on-the-surface claim that Modern is any better a substitute for BC than it is for original-Classic and demanding we not make posts you don’t agree with.
It’s obvious that TBC and wrath was better than classic and it had more players. Wrath imho was the most polished and people are still playing wrath on private servers.

What did you report him for? I’m confused. O.o
Private servers don’t matter.

I can do you one better.
Devs didn’t even wait until Classic to be released before asking us if we want TBC, Wrath, etc servers…
All it does is make the devs have a better idea of exactly what they asked us.
Instead of complaining about people discussing exactly what the devs asked, feel free to add your opinion to the discussion, or just ignore the discussion altogether if you don’t care.

Some of us want to move on to TBC/LK but a lot of us want to stay in the orbit of Classic, with a Classic +. I love Classic and I love the way it plays and everything about it, TBC and LK erode that and IMO its the wrong discretion to take.
Its never sad to want to look to the future, I’m enjoying the game in the here and now but nothing last forever and people just want to know what’s coming next…no harm in that.
Those two xpac’s rate of growth compares NOTHING to Classics rate of growth…they had more players but they grew at less of a rate…
People play LK and TBC servers but those servers are no where near as popular as the Classic servers were.

TBC was flat out a better game. Same with WoTLK. Your rose-tinted glasses are so dark that you’re blind.

Technically, we’re one month into Classic.
