As much as I hate to say it - Servers should have seasonal resets

Hey again please read what i just told you

That doesn’t create a server with a fresh start.

thanks captain obvious

What does that have to do with fresh realms?

Hey guys they announced a release date! its not FRESH ENOUGH! Whens it going to come out next time around?

it still takes a while to gear up. you’re talking 2-3 drops per raid boss.
how long to farm MC for enough gear for BWL?
how long to farm BWL for gear for AQ 40?
how long to farm AQ 40 for Naxx?
how long to farm Naxx to get full bis?

Every game has a lifespan. Even the best MMORPG ever. Classic wow has a lifespan. It may be 6 months for some or 10 years for the extremist.
Private servers existed because the best years of wow ended too soon and people missed the vanilla, tbc, WotLK good pre cata stuff. If wow existed from 2004-2014 without the expansions, people would’ve gotten tired of it and left because it lived it’s life.
People will always come back for nostalgia, but only the extremely small minority will play one game forever.

so we should screw over the people who don’t want to play at the speed of light to make the hardcores happy?
how about we set aside a server or two to reset every year or two and the hardcores can enjoy those.

From what I have heard, private servers are actually over-tuned compared to Classic.

Most people arent trying to rush though, and seeing as casually slower people(which i consider the majority who have actual responsibility) will be likely getting nearer to raiding Naxx around the 2 year mark. What motivation would anyone who plays casually or even very casually have at all to log on if servers just up and reset in 2 years.

If you will be at a state where you are completely “done” with everything you wanted to accomplish in 2 years that you would be 100% fine to lose all the progress then you probably have less responsibility and have way too much time to play and that is causing you to be “bored” by that time.

So my answer is no; and you should consider restarting on a new realm or advocating that new realms be released.

Sheesh… all these new age gamers playing MMOs like a grindy rush fest wind up whining when there isnt anything left for them to do because they sped through every thing. Slow it down man there is a tip for u.

Btw, b4 anyone reaponds with " hey you play yout way i play mine" i only made a suggestion. If you guys wanna speed through it fine, but when you turn around asking for more to do in a year then thats all on you.

you missed a few things, And how long does it take to gear up the replacements and bench because people quit or have real lifesnow being older!

This post isnt about fresh realms though, this post is about resetting existing realms every year or 2. Adding new realms is a completely different topic that i dont think ive seen you bring up even once, in fact you even stated you support realms being static which likely isnt even going to happen

be my guest. i don’t know what angle you are taking or why you arguing with me. i’m simply making a point after the 1% clears it the other 99% will take years to clear. the content it plenty for the casual. there is 0 need to reset a server because the 1% cleared naxx

would’ve got boring because new realms wouldn’t be released fresh and the game would remain stagnant. Which is exactly why we want to avoid that.

2-3 raid drops for a 40 man instead of approx 1/5 players in the current system.

raids were still released 6-8 months apart like retail.

this guys on point, Should just lock the thread now! Reset my realm its isnt Fresh enough, someone got Thunderfury!

Im still not sure how adding new realms would fix stagnation. What fixes stagnation is new content entirely, not adding more realms for you to repeat the content you already have on

not to mention your need for 8 tanks to get 4 piece t3 to be able to do 4 horse?
