No actually I wouldn’t try to change anything about Classic, Would you change the Mona Lisa? Its Art Leave it ALONE, Its worth more and better if you just leave it alone!
good luck finding people to come back and start all over again after you wiped out 2 years of their efforts. If you want to destroy a game that’s how you do it. at least 50% of people will not come back if you wipe out their characters

I don’t care about TBC servers
I don’t care about WOTLK servers
I don’t care about modern retail WoW
I care about the longevity, health and preservation of Classic, and whatever does that best is what should be done, and I cannot see Classic being launched and left indefinitely as being a good idea when it comes to the long-term preservation of Classic.
Just delete your char and start over or make a new account same thing!

Oh I think you misunderstood my stance on this topic. I am for 100% for static servers for people like yourself that don’t want to replay the game from fresh.
But, I am not such a fool to not realize that in the future people will want to start from phase 1 again and enjoy the game again through all it’s glory.
But i’ve already told you its not about “preserving classic” or “preserving history”. Its about going back to the version of the game that people love with the design philosophy that made world of warcraft great. They want to play a game thats challenging and rewarding, that also feels like an rpg and an mmo. I dont know anybody who would be opposed to new content post nax if it was in spirit with vanilla, again, like OSRS

a fresh server is different than an old one. You’d know that if you used both of your brain cells at the same time.
I imagine that most of us are returning to play classic for a couple of years. Once we’re satisfied we’ll move onto a new game or new phase of life.
I can’t imagine many people wanting to continually relive classic wow every few years for the rest of their lives.
It’s like Pokémon for me. When I was a kid, I loved the LeafGreen and FireRed games on the Gameboy. Since then, I’ve downloaded an emulator to play it again and it was amazing. I got to relive a part of my childhood. But would I continually keep playing Pokemon every couple of years? Absolutely not.
Yeah, wow is on a much bigger scale than Pokemon but the idea is the same. When content is beat and you feel satisfied with what you’ve accomplished, you move onto something else
only 1% of the population made it into naxx— even less cleared it. these were hardcore raiders. Now let account for casuals, it will be years before casual players get thru naxx. 4 to 5 years from now at minimum. why are you concerned about this right now? 99% of the playerbase never even made it into naxx and you want to reset on them as soon as they start reaching a gear level where they can attempt it?

blizzard has already said they’re open to new content for classic whether thats BC or entirely new post nax content, if people want it. What kind of argument are you even making?
once a year or two would be far too often.
what if i want to casually play the game and still see the likes of naxx? i’d never get there.

I know the difference, Who wants to get killed by MoM when your lvl 20 for 2 hours, I just don’t think it will change anything People will still play regardless if its new or old, therefore as a business (which they are) they have little incentive to ever do it! But maybe they will drop a new server here and there for the You FRESH CROWD!
Gaze deeper into your crystal ball… tell me… what else do you see?!
Let’s say you get your main and alts fully geared with rank 14 pvp or naxx gear. Then you do the same on your alts. You play PvP with guildies and friends and make memories.
You want to rinse and repeat that every couple of years forever?
One relaunch of vanilla wow isn’t enough for you? You want this whole classic wow again and again?
Wow Classic
Wow Classic 2 (coming 2022)
Wow classic 3 (2025)
Etc…
Really?
I’ve seen this exact phenomenon happen time and time again on private servers. If you join a realm that is on the last patch all content is already unlocked hence making the majority of it irrelevant.
Not saying it has to be 1 year.
In 2006 naxx was out for less than 6 months before the TBC pre-patch.
In 2019 people will melt through vanilla content.
I even think 1 year of post-naxx stage is more than enough for most people to get their fill from the game. After that a reset would most definitely be required to keep things from becoming bloated and out of hand.
If I knew my character was going to be reset I wouldn’t even bother playing and I’m not interested in rolling on a server that resets periodically. If you are, that’s fine, but you should be lobbying for a server that does it, not attempting to change classic under the guise of preservation. The way Vanilla was is the way Classic should be. Or as close to it as possible.

they won’t melt thru it. naxx is on another level even by today’s standards. private servers are a joke so don’t give me they cleared it easy on private servers crap. it’s not the same at all
