Ogronz:

It is often difficult for me to express the depths of feelings I have for WoW in general but more specifically WoW: Classic. But I’m going to try to do so anyways.

Today we take a moment to reflect on WoW: Classic’s first anniversary and what it means to connect to not only a fantastical world of might and mystery, but to connect to other people. The true magic of WoW is not in a Mage’s spellbook or in the deep of Molten Core. It is in the social fabric the binds us all as we play together. I’ve remarked to so many people along the way, that while it may have been the fantasy of playing a Paladin that got me to log on for the first time, it was my bonds to other players that kept me logging in over and over again after that. Whether it was my raid team, guild mates, or the hundreds people who quested alongside me, it was always fellow players that created the biggest draw.

It is with that notion in mind that I raise a toast. A toast to WoW, to Classic, but most of all to you. You are more than players, more than fans. In my eyes you are all my friends and family. Today I celebrate more than a game. I celebrate you!

A nice birthday present would have been Korrak’s Revenge. You know, like how it was a birthday present for retail to represent vanilla AV?

Happy birthday. Now when will Paladins actually be fixed to where they function like they did in Vanilla?

Gearfourth-faerlina · August 30, 2020, 4:41pm

Don’t be dumb. This isn’t your game. Get over yourself.

Mugwump-herod · August 31, 2020, 9:15pm

Except for the devs, apparently.

O_O And here I thought my 84 days /played across 30+ characters was a lot.

Happy Birthday Classic.

Thank you for finally putting to rest 15 years of “Vanilla was successful because it was so hardcore!” threads.

Legolasx-atiesh · September 15, 2020, 7:04am

Don’t pat yourselves on the back until after you do something about all these BOTS!

Leeeeerooyyy Jenkiiiinnsss!

Classic is successful though. It has even more players than your precious World of LootRNGCraft.

Delimicus-heartseeker · September 16, 2020, 6:48pm

Worldwide it’s probably really close.

In NA, Retail is far more popular than Classic.

Paeldryth-hyjal · September 16, 2020, 6:52pm

You’re being overly defensive.

Classic is successful due to its ease and simplicity. Those are not bad things unless you wrapped your ego around it being “hardcore.”

It just got old seeing threads drone on and on about how difficult Vanilla was and that’s why it was so good.

Profits-mankrik · September 16, 2020, 9:18pm

you disagreed with me? YOU ARE BEING OVERLY DEFENSIVE!!!

A retail player going out of his way to come into the Classic forums and insult classic, but no, I’M the “defensive” one

lol

And yeah, vanilla is a lot harder than World of Diablocraft in pretty much every way other than raiding. Stay salty

Paeldryth-hyjal · September 16, 2020, 10:07pm

You’re being overly defensive because you read an insult into something that wasn’t an insult.

I’m guessing you’re one of those people with your ego tied to imaginary difficulty and took it personally?

You keep enjoying your easy game and I’ll enjoy my easy game.
