Three paragraphs leading off with a personal attack, posted as a reply to me, and yet the answer to my perfectly straightforward question is found nowhere in your post.
I also remember when you kept addressing me as if I’d said something completely unrelated to what I’d said, something about not having old characters. I’m starting to think taking in what other people post isn’t your strong suit, Ziryus.
As lomg as you can prove this won’t be a problem for existing servers
The answer to you question which I assumed was rhetorical. Is yes I would play on both a static server and a reset server.
If you don’t understand why, do you really not understand how playing on a fresh server is different than just rolling a new character on an established server?
So when you said “there would be a market,” you didn’t mean “people would pay to play on, who would not otherwise be playing on the game”–you meant just “people would play on them if they were there”?
Not a meaning that makes a lot of sense to me, but I do acknowledge that I’ve now seen something I’d never seen before: someone explicitly saying they would play on such a realm at all.
You obviously have no idea why Classic was done…it’s a museum piece for the people that played in vanilla and wanted to again.
One or two clearly designated ‘seasonal’ servers is fine. To force it on all servers would of course be ridiculous and destroy the game.
Same here. If Blizzard is going to plan to reset Classic servers periodically, they need to announce that now so that I can invest my time and energy elsewhere. However, I don’t object to them opening new servers every couple of years for those who want to race to endgame yet again as long as the existing servers are left as-is.
That is not correct. I play D3 seasons, and everything you earn during a season (XP, gold, items, quest progress, etc.) and your seasonal characters are all transferred over to nonseason at the end of the season. Nothing is lost. Also, people who play on nonseason are not affected by seasons at all if they don’t play them.
100% No.
Couldn’t think of a worse idea than constant server resets, personally
Personally, I am hoping that Classic is the launching pad to take Wow in the direction it should have gone before they imposed their personal agenda’s on it.
I want to see content updates in the future and to see this game grow once again.
However, for the group that wants Classic to remain Classic, I also hope they find a satisfying middle ground to preserve this.
I can envision a permanent “Classic” release, and can also envision a parallel path where we see Classic then BC and beyond, just implemented the right way this time.
In all likelihood it’s just merely grandiosity but I will immerse myself in this delusion for now lol
I really don’t suspect that many players are lining up to shoot through Classic like a lunch burrito. I think people will stick around and enjoy a great game.
BUUUUT!!! When long-time players begin to bleed off and new people come in, MIGHT there be hellacious inflation in the AH et al? I don’t imagine I would play for years and not save up gold. What’s the new guy to do–the guy who hasn’t been here for five years? Just a thought. I know Classic will be great!
they can roll on these asked for ‘fresh’ servers. besides coming in 5 years from now to a mature server yeah it sucks having 20c in your pocket and a single herb on the AH is 2g but then again pick up herbing, pick some flowers walk to the AH and make lots of gold. I guarantee in the inflated economy it will be a lot easier to get your mounts right at 40/60, buying your skills etc… since any farming you do while leveling gets exponentially more gold in your pocket than a fresh server.
I think a good idea if classic hits off is allow players to progress to other servers once 60 go visit your progreshion master lol
i would love to see all xpacs playable as they are i bet the least played expansion will be WOD
I feel folks would be more attached to their Classic characters than retail. Reason for me is you can level and gear out a new character in no time at all on retail. Classic on the other hand will take a much larger time investment for most folks.
If its reset every 2 or 3 years whats the point of grinding, getting loot or mounts?
I wouldnt be happy if i got the Rivendare mount only to have it disappear from my account
You’re probably right.
Classic is probably going to fall flat on it’s face because the phases are going to roll out at snails pace and there will be no server resets. Many people underestimate the importance of a server reset on keeping players interested.
Everyone expecting to have cleared naxx 2 years from now, good luck. They’ll probably just have announced the release date for Phase 6 and you’ll still be waiting to play it. Because they’re going to time phases with down periods in retail, and with a reduction in sub count to bring players back. And it’s critical they don’t release phases too quickly or people who are burnt out won’t come back at all.
The idea of starting fresh once seems.like a good idea, so and I’m excited for the Classic launch.
However, I don’t want to start fresh again! And if I did, I’d just roll on a new server.
I think it’s a bit early yet to discuss this.
That said, I do think Classic will stagnate at some point and I’m not entirely convinced progressing to TBC or languishing on a slowly dying server is the only choice here.
I think they should release TBC servers first. Then once that hype dies down, look at Classic again. Any low-pop servers can be hard merged, and the server(s) closed after this can be re-used for a few fresh servers. Then release Wrath servers. Then go back and look at TBC, merge and then open some fresh realms there. Lather, rinse, repeat for any game versions they want to bring back. Every 3-4 years just take a look at server population, merge what needs to be merged, recycle what needs to be recycled for fresh realms.
This way we can save our character progress, while also addressing the very real fact that eventually the game will stagnate and while we may take a break and move on to other games, new players will have a better opportunity getting sucked into the game we love if they aren’t starting on a stagnant server that’s slowly dying.
If it’s a big enough money grab, why not new content? Not TBC. Not Wrath. Just new and hopefully in the best interest of the Classic game in every respect.
