Classic + is the only way, doing TBC and onward would be horrible!

flying is the most popular feature in retail. subs started dropping exponentially in WoD when Blizz started their anti-flying crusade. so much that they had to backtrack and added pathfinder.

  1. I don’t care about people whining that flying kills ganking. If I want to PvP, there’s battlegrounds, and raids on Stormwind.
  2. I like flying. Made the world more expansive to me, because I could explore more.
  3. The Blizzard of today is not the Blizzard of 2004.
  4. WotLK is my favorite expansion.
  5. I want my blood elf back.

Seriously, though, Blizzard did fine with a known quantity (1.12), but there are many of us who don’t trust them to do Classic+ without first showing they can make games like they used to. TBC and WotLK were the most popular times in the game’s history, and they’re known quantities as well. Bring them back, and see if, during that time, 9.0 and 10.0 show that Blizzard has relearned how to make a good MMORPG.

It killed the sense of community. In an MMO that’s everything. Without it, it’s just a single player game with very smart AI.

Nicely said mate! I totally agree.
People wanted VANILLA, not any of the other expansions. We wanted the REAL game. It doesnt make sense to wipe out all your progress from Classic when levelling up in TBC and also making all Classic raids irrelevant.
Plus everyone agrees CATA is bad so what happens when reach to WOTLK? or to TBC?

All players who want WOTLK and TBC can switch to retail and do arena and enjoy dungeon finder.

Because said features are disliked by them.

Will you shut the hell up already. How many threads about this are you going to make? This is like the 4th or 5th time that you’ve made this exact same thread. You and everybody else with this type of mindset are nothing but huge hypocrites.

Skettis, TK, the plateau northwest of Shat where a lot of mats were farmed. Skettis had a FP and I think there may have been one other obscure way up there, but what a complete mess it would have been if those were the only way.

As many as it takes for blizzard to notice people want classic+. No one told you to read it.

I sincerely hope you get the Classic+ you desire, but I just can’t imagine it ever happening.

Blizzard didn’t start classic with the intention of opening a brand new avenue of development. The development of new original content carries massive risks and development costs that opening TBC or WotLK servers doesn’t have. Classic exists in part because the community does not trust Blizzard to create new content.

Is re-packaging old expansions a finite path? Yes, but the purpose of Classic was never to restart the franchise. These are museum pieces.

I don’t trust Blizzard to touch Classic WoW or make any changes or expand it at all in anyway without severely messing it up.

The old blizzard is gone. They will never be able to capture the magic again that they have created with the 04-08 era of WoW.

Everything can be the same, just we take a ground mount and flightpaths to get to our destinations and we group with only those on our server

You realize cross-realm grouping wasn’t introduced in Wrath, right?

I’m so tired of hearing people complain about World PvP as if it were ever the main focus of this game. It wasn’t.

The fact is, the broad consensus is that the game was the most fun from Vanilla to WotLK. If enough people want TBC and WotLK go for it

Lol what killed wpvp was giving everybody selfhealing and make some classes tankier than tanks.
Flying over maps looking for ppl to gank was the funniest. Not like wpvp matters in any kind of way.

When flying came out in TBC subs went up.

I mean, this is so blatantly obvious it’s amazing people keep harping on Flight.

What happens to open world PvP when you put the most rewarding PvP in instances? Hmm.

I was there for the Southshore/Tarren Mill skirmishes, and when BGs came out those outdoor battles came to a screeching halt.

How do you avoid it if you are already in combat?

so has vanilla, and yet here we are. clearly people want the good old days back.
and yes and no.
i’d be fine with completely separate server options.
vanilla servers
bc servers
wrath servers

You can make your arguments for Classic+ without making BS claims that nobody wants BC or Wrath or that it’s somehow bad if Blizzard decides to go forward and do BC next.

Oh, the irony!
