I was being tongue in cheek about it.
This might be a shock… but people might actually like Cata… what they probably had a experience with is the release of content back then was such a long time.
As for TBC and WoTLK only servers, that might be a good idea in the future… but definitely not right now… there were people saying CLASSIC FOREVER servers!!! then you logged into those servers… there was no one around… it wasnt until watered down Naxxramas over and over and over that they went back to Classic… and Asmongold is absolutely wrong; SSC Vashj and Sunwell were far superior difficulty to Ulduar.
A lot of people want to get back to MoP, I would venture to guess thats a large portion of the player base, they dont mind going through Cataclysm again on a shorter venture…a portion that liked the content back then, a portion that never experienced it because they stepped away back then combined.
Classic Vanilla works because the game is built around tension in the open world. Theres none of that in TBC or WoTLK. Those servers would just be DoA.
Case is, when they returned, they*) still had their old characters, we won’t have on Era servers if they are not made NOW with the possibility of transferring untouched characters there - I would even accept paid transfer. If we wait, and have people levelling from 1 all over again then your prophesy:
might be right
*) “they” because I am one of the admittedly few having played mainly Era since TBC launced.
too long didn’t read word limit etc
bye!
I’m often amazed at how often people don’t get humor on the internet. I think it should be a corollary of Poe’s Law.
Just coming back to this thread to say, seems like Cata was indeed NOT DOA, and is currently very popular,
Not everybody has English as their first language, and in writing you cannot see the irony. Poe’s law is indeed at work here, and a couple of s would not hurt.
For those that like me do not know Poe’s Law, the short version reads:
“Without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.”
interesting…3 months later and my server and guild are DEAD
What’s interesting is the fact you had to dig deep and necro this.
squirts Saucy with the hose “Bad Paladin, bad!”
eyes the rolled up newspaper
go back to one of three dead vanilla games please
wrath era would be lit. not really sure why they didn’t keep 1-2 wrath/tbc servers around.
Did you ever play a rogue on Fairbanks in Vanilla Classic with the same name?
Bummer. Most have been partially dead beforehand. Lots of people on whitemane
Because they didn’t think there would be enough players to make it profitable. Blizzard looks at it two ways. How many subs will they gain if they have a wrath era server and how many subs will they lose if there isn’t a era server. It’s unlikely that blizzard will get new subs if there’s a era server. And it’s unlikely that many players will unsub if there isn’t an era server since most who might play era would likely keep a sub to play other versions of the game.
Cuz the content was way to hard for you and your guild
Wrath is just a worse cata.
I prefer wrath myself, but i guess that is because where i started my wow journey (1 year vet now), but cata isn’t bad at all.
Phase 1 raids just suck in wotlk, so does togc.
Derpest thing I’ve heard all week
Wotlk classic was a massive let down.
Phase 1 wotlk was the worst phase 1 of a classic game.
Phase 1 cata has amazing raids.
Not even close tbh, and the class design of cata is better than wotlk.
