Do you think Classic should move onto TBC eventually?

Calm your jets. You’re going to have an aneurysm with that much anger.

102

Apoc, what you don’t seem to be grasping is that what many of us are looking forward to is the journey, not the destination.

And there’s no point in having that journey if we get TBC or if our characters and all our hard work get deleted.

We’ll have nothing to show for our time.

No. Vanilla should stay Vanilla.

Honestly don’t know what I want from a video game that doesn’t exist yet three years after it does come out. But I do know I’m sick of these useless threads. OP: use the search, join a thread, especially since you didn’t even offer an opinion you just asked a question. This thread is pointless and you should feel bad for wasting everyone’s time.

OP new exactly what he was doing. :disappointed:

Quit trying to sabotage the game out of short sighted or selfish reasons, and I’ll stop treating you (and the others) with the contempt you’ve earned. Or just bring something of actual logical substance to the debate at large, or an actual solution to the issues that stagnation causes (like rapidly decreasing populations resulting in server death, ever increasingly top heavy servers gear/gold wise, and the diminished authenticity it brings overall)… Private realms figured this issue out years ago, and the players on those servers all realized it as well, even if they don’t admit it: Resets are absolutely necessary for the long term health of the project.

And what you don’t understand is what you want is entirely irrelevant. I don’t one single damn that YOU want to change the game and plug a Game Genie in, even if it’s a model that has zero evidence for succeeding long term.

The character you are playing on now… Is level 120… You are already giving that character up in order to play vanilla. Same concept. Welcome to the price of admission.

108

I’m not giving up any of my characters. Even if I play Classic more than I play Retail, I doubt I’ll ever fully quit Retail.

But I won’t play Classic at all if I have to remake my entire roster every two years and pray to RNGesus that I get my RP gear again in a decent time frame so I can continue where I left off during the last reset because Blizzard was a bunch of jerks and listened to YOU.

109

I disagree that it’s irrelevant. In fact, I think it’s very relevant, and it is one of the reasons Classic is coming back.

And my friend, I think you DO give a damn as is evidence by your posts. :point_up:

You mean new players means more gold to sell by scummy devs…

It actually has everything to do with those servers having a population that was entirely into seasons.

WoW: Classic will not be dominated by those people, I’m sure. Most of us will be casual and we’ll hate having seasons forced on us.

I has never been a case of the Pserver dieng so they would release a FRESH…
NO
they released a FRESH so the older ones were dieng, all by there own hands.
And yes fresh realms do atrratc new players more.

Right now no server has been as full at 1.10 as northdale is, because they haven’t released a fresh server.

CAn’t dispute the facts.

113

Fair enough from the standpoint that you are playing both products… but you still aren’t bringing that paladin with you to vanilla. It’s progress is entirely lost, and you seem accepting of that fact as a price of admission into Vanilla/Classic.

By listened to me, you mean listened to nearly two decades worth of combined retail and private server experience that all points to the one unassailable conclusion that stagnation doesn’t actually work in this game? Private realms realized this lesson and adapted to a cyclic/seasonal model in order to keep the content churn engine going, and players engaged. You may not like it, but you can’t deny it…

As for your threats to preemptively quit. Good bye then? Again the data supports the notion that the overwhelming majority of people realize that FRESH realms are a necessity/ a good thing.

If it was only about Devs making a cash grab, the Fresh servers wouldn’t be running 5x the active populations of the older realms immediately, followed abruptly by those older realms being merged and/or retired as stagnation killed them.

114

U mean your poor interpretation

115

Show your data, good sir. Otherwise, my data says Classic WoW is gonna do just fine.

what corrolation are u making here?

117

Pointing out that that your assertion that fresh servers only existed as a Pserver Dev cash grab is misguided at best…

The vast majority of the playerbase on those realms still willingly chooses to reroll onto said private realms… If the only motivation for the servers was Pserver operators making IRL $$$, players would have no incentive to reroll.

118

Yes fresh realm attract players, thats exactly the point i was making. The point u were making is that its neccesery, which it;s not as shown by the historical data.
They would release a FRESH and then the old one would die.

Just look at northdale, a server never been as full at 1.10. And its because they havent done a fresh.

How long has Northdale been around?

120

still wtf is the corrolation you’re making up?

why would players know/care about this? the ones that know are core players and they wont be buying gold thats all funneled by the devs themselfs, set up as if it’s done by 3th party’s

It’s the new players that are attracted by fresh realms that end up buying gold,
