Classic Era PTR now open apparently

I’m about to log in.

Edit1: According to reddit, the PTR is in an earlier phase than current classic.

Only raids available currently is MC and Ony, and DM E/N/W is there too it seems.

Edit2: It seems the PTR servers are offline for now.

That has to be either for fresh restart, or server merge. My money is on fresh restart, since I sincerely doubt Classic+ will ever happen.

I found out about it on reddit, there’s a lot of discussion on the subject over there, apparently it’s in an earlier phase.

Thank god, i’ve been waiting months for fresh classic.

Hopefully it’s a fresh start server of some sort, I’ll roll something on there if so. I miss Classic and only didn’t play Era more because I just felt “done” but I have nostalgia for Classic already.

Not sure why people arn’t treating this like it’s big news. It’s pretty big news to me, been waiting for fresh classic for months!

I wish there were more people actually playing on the servers.

they’re probably doing this as some kind of market test.

they want to check how many ppl are concerned and what they want to see on vanilla servers.

Neat. I might renew my sub if we get a fresh Classic realm.

Perhaps because its a little more than overrated?

Abandon all the time you put in to start over only to reach a point where you have to start all over again? Not as exciting as some make it out to be.

Boy oh boy
I think the only reason that will make me renew my sub it’s a fresh classic server.
Not having a lot a fun in TBC.

I thought tbc would be the bee’s knees, esp being an arena player, but it didn’t have that same magic like classic launch did. The world feels so much more alive when everyone isn’t huddled in a sanctuary city (only leaving on flying mounts) and insta lvl 58 boosting isn’t a thing.

Personally I think a classic+ has infinite potential, especially if they tweak classes a bit or even add in abilities/talents from Wotlk or something

I would really hope they do something about the dungeon boosting and mob tagging this time around.

The point about Fresh Servers is not about putting effort in, it’s about starting fresh with a new community.

You can tell yourself that if it helps.

Oh boy.
Does that include the crazy neighborhood bot farmers and boosters that everyone is so fond of?
That’s mighty nice of you to be so inclusive.

Boosters only came around after the first few months.

Bots arn’t part of the community, but they sure are fun to mess with. Would rather they weren’t there, tho.
