Yeah, they were all over the place in the first week or so after it was announced.

Also there were people asking for flying.

63

I already know that. Still not going to play classic.

64

I figured that was just people trying to troll the no change people.

65

Fair enough

66

Some people legitimately do not understand the difference between private servers and classic.

67

Why can’t they both be right? Classic will fail and BfA will die! I read it in an ogre’s diary.

I don’t think thats it, because private servers didn’t have flying, and all the popular ones tried to be as close as possible to the real thing. Pretty sure most of it was just trolling.

Better hope they don’t do that. That’s the one surefire way to kill off classic faster. Gonna be splitting a very meh player base across 3 versions of wow.

It wouldn’t end well.

Yeah I have no interest in playing classic, but if they did a Wrath server, I’d jump on that. You’d be adding players, not just splitting them.

All undisputed facts and anyone that disagrees with me smells of elderberrys.

You’d be adding some players for some time. Everything they make you have to consider the initial flood and then the phase where people leave a bit later on.

3 versions of wow would make very, very small communities with what little they have left if the tinfoil hat wearers are correct on sub numbers (doubtful).

Still, there is only so many hours in the day and you’d have to pick and choose which version you’d wanna play that day and it would show overall between the 3 versions.

I couldnt agree more OP.
I am a WoD baby I have grown into loving this MMO. My first was SWTOR which will always be in my heart.

Since playing WoW, I have heard numerous stories from friends and guildies and strangers alike of the amazing and beautiful stories of Classic and other expansions. I always listened attentively. Respected other people game play and never put down someone simply because they are new or an elitist. I always root for the underdog and took a fine line to not take sides and realize we are all human and we are all gamers at heart.

Our memories and games we played are playing will never die! Thats a lie whoever is making up these threads. I refuse to be a Debbie downer thank you.

Also, the journey is in the past. There is nothing to discover. Most players are planning on leveling fast and rushing to end game. Once that’s over, it’s over.

You’ve never played Vanilla.

Are you seriously trying to tell me you’re going to keep farming that last raid for years?

For serious players, the lifespan of the game will be shorter than the original, because (as I said above) there is nothing to discover or explore. Everything is already known.

A lot of those who are looking forward to showing off their raid gear to admiring throngs will be disappointed to find that people don’t care as much about gear. And only so many will be at the top of the heap. Some will be very disappointed to find that due to circumstances beyond their control, it’s somebody else who got that gear first.

Doom sayers. That’s all it is. This is how you know a MMO is at a make or break point. Server mergers. When they start merging servers together to cut the count in half, or more, you know there’s trouble. In rare instances it happens because they want to bolster low population counts but in most cases it’s to cut down on how many servers they have. Servers ain’t cheap. Cost cutting is an effective way to prolong a game’s life.

Did you plqy private servers? Cause thats a gate right there many have to cross. I play free games too and enjky it like swtor dossnt mean i Will ever sub to give them mkney.

Until you get bored, like you are with retail. Then you will quit it also looking for something with more draw appeal to it to play. This is why the fan fair of classic wont last forever, it will have a quick peak then a slow decline, leaving only its die hard of fans at some point of time being the only really active full time players.
