Best questing experience*

Nothing beats vanilla quest layout and globetrotting.

A fad.

As someone put it earlier, there is only so many times you can go back and do the same quests, kill the same stuff, over and over again. Folks do it to hit 60, but at this point, face it most know how to lvl a toon to 60. It isn’t rocket science. There are some who will like the challenge, but once completed, what is the point?

Worth noting that Classic Era is booming right now.

Try another race/claas combo :wink:

I believe people don’t understand that both Era and HC numbers had a decline since the official HC announcement. Obviously. People waiting for the official HC server, since it is a new server, may not feel very inclined to play in the “old servers”.

Just wait and see xD

It will boom to start and taper off as most things do. Even if your arnt that interested in HC, it will be a great fresh experience! Youll have to be a bit careful though!

Funny thing is that you can actually see that the drop in numbers people feel on the RP realms, is actually the HC players waiting for the HC realms. Look to IF pro, the numbers keep steady for the RP realms or even rising a bit.

It should be easier to find a dungeon on the OHC server than on a comparable ERA server. While yes raiding wil likely be more limited compared to regular servers, there will be far more people doing the leveling grind to do low end dungeons, and for most people the end game will be things like their 0.5 sets. This should make it far easier to group and do instances.

people wont want to risk dying in dungeons

Have you actually played HC? I did and there were tons of people doing dungeons at 60, and none of us were using petri flasks. So no finding dungeons isn’t going shouldn’t be a problem at all.

Because all you had to do was appeal or fudge the addon data.

stop commenting on something you clearly have not done and know nothing about :expressionless:

literally everyone using the addon CHEATED

cool story bro :roll_eyes:

But…

But… I wanna be like you.

No, I never appealed, and never would as that wasn’t HC, I know a lot of other people running dungeons felt this way and I saw a number of people delete well geared characters when they died.

The thing is though, if you’re afraid of losing your character, or if you hate leveling and just want to do end game raiding, HC probably isn’t right for you, and you shouldn’t jump on just because its a “Fresh” server, it won’t be a traditional server with a traditional end game, there won’t be progression through content, and people will constantly be dying and starting over.

And we both know that there are a LOT of Hardcorpse players who don’t feel that way, who appeal their deaths, and who game the addon.

Which is why so many people are happy for the official server which eliminates the ability to appeal.

Yup.

And why so many of the “real” hardcorpse veterans are staying on BSB.

I don’t think those of us going to the HC server will miss them.
