With the amount of people that want things to just go back to how they were, I really donāt understand why Blizzard insists on pushing their ideas out.
Did you mean: WoW Classic?

Id like to try bfa because over all I think itās got some pretty cool stuff and I like a lot of the classes and class design but a lot of people seem to prefer older systems, so Iād be interested to see how it would play out.
It would bring back a few jaded players I imagine
Classic is coming for you summer 2019. Otherwise your out of luck.
For future posters can we please reframe from saying this
Iām talking about the current game and not classic and I see no harm in throwing out ideas

Some time back Blizzard was tossing around the idea of āpristine serversā. The idea was like the live version of the game but with none of the QoL improvements that have been added to the game over the years.
I think the OP was shooting more towards that idea rather than WoW Classic.

Seems like a pretty good middle ground to keep both parties of how people enjoy the game happy
What not allowed an opinion,etcā¦? I mean Classic is coming and itās the only thing youāll get close to what you want. Which wonāt come to current wow. Especially anytime soon. Even if you do eventually get what you want it will be quite some time and wonāt have for BFA nor the next 2 future expansions,etc you get what I mean. So your best bet is to look forward to Classic as that is all your getting right now. /shrugs/
What you are suggesting is not how servers ā¦function. There isnāt a server admin that can just post arbitrary rules like Minecraft etc.
Classic is coming. The time of the great return is upon us.

That sounds very convoluted to implement for one specific server.
I thought you were unsubbing last month?

They played with this idea before, but decided it wouldnāt have much of a following.

Kept my sub running to fight the good fight, someone has to do it
I also believe they would need more than one server for this because I think a pretty large number of people would be keen to try it out
Sarcasm aside, I think there isnāt much possibility of a āpristine serverā being added.
Hereās the reasoning:
A āpristine serverā would have to be held aloof and maintained separately from the main WoW servers - basically it would be a separate game, much in the way the Classic will be. This means that a team would have to be devoted to the maintenance and upkeep of that server, and it is very unlikely that Blizzard is willing to devote the necessary hardware and personnel to do something like that.
Practically speaking, an aloof server (or servers) like that would require separate coding for everything. Every change made to the game would have to be coded twice - once for the main game, and once for the āpristineā server(s). Thatās twice the work, twice the QC time, etc. etc. Theyāre not going to do that.

Unless they made money
Imagine adding these, all the complains would vanish from forums because you could slice the players into groups of what they preferred
I donāt see why they couldnāt do it, they had pvp servers and pve servers for the longest time
Having PvP and PvE servers is different. There was already a toggle in the game that said āif this is āonā then the player is flagged for PvPā. All they had to do to make a server a āPvPā server is classify that toggle as always being āonā.
Rolling back global rules and mechanisms would actually require re-coding a HUGE portion of the game, and would require separate coding for every change.
The fact is, while the results we see when they make changes seem relatively inconsequential, itās actually taken a huge number of man-hours to get the code to a point where they can implement it in the game without literally breaking the entire thing.
Itās a widely-known fact that WoWās base code is āspaghettiā code. A lot of things in the game are hard-coded into it at a very fundamental level, and they literally canāt change some things because it will break the game. Like 16 slot backpacks. I wish I were kidding.
Iād be happy with a CRZ/Sharding free server. Rest of it I could deal with as long as I had āMYā server back.
but I have a 20 slot backpack!
Blizzard tossed around ideas of pristine servers and classic. They chose to develop classic servers.
