How many of you will play on fresh servers if they come out?

Subjektive-pagle · August 23, 2021, 1:51pm

I am just interested in seeing who actually wants to reroll and start from phase 1 again with some changes.

Zalanii-herod · August 23, 2021, 3:04pm

nope, not me

Ltwagz-sulfuras · August 23, 2021, 3:12pm

I would play because it would be fun. If they make 2 many servers than the game will be poop and everyone will quit .

Eaglesgift-azuresong · August 23, 2021, 3:16pm

My main and many alts are playing Classic Era now, I would not be joining a fresh server. There is no need for it.

Mirrina-ashkandi · August 23, 2021, 3:22pm

classic +: yes, seasonal fresh servers:no.

Kythaela-old-blanchy · August 23, 2021, 3:44pm

I wouldn’t rejoin Vanilla Classic version of the game unless it was a solid Classic+ effort, with updated talent spec fixing/balancing, gear itemization, newer character models, etc.

Guccidin-zuljin · August 23, 2021, 3:44pm

Not a chance dude/dudette

Scuzeme-mankrik · August 23, 2021, 4:27pm

I will be, there is a need for it. No need for me to lie saying i wont play and shill retail-lite. Ill take it “warts and all”

Lilkursis-wyrmrest-accord · August 23, 2021, 4:32pm

Depends on the changes really.

Nerrick-ashkandi · August 23, 2021, 4:48pm

Maybe. In a project clearly labeled as ‘Classic+’ I would try to keep an open mind. I would hope they’d still stick to the spirit of the design of the old game (emphasis on rpg, immersion, community and social interactions), but make tweaks based on the fact situations and scenarios arise now that the original devs never anticipated or had to deal with.

The one thing that would instantly drive me away is cash shop and micro-transactions. That’s what killed TBC Classic for me. I left Retail to get away from that crap. No boosts. No Deluxe Edition. No buying mounts, pets, toys. Keep that crap out and I’d give it a shot. And ffs, deal with bots.

100 percent, classic Era is a dead wasteland. Full reset from phase 1 to progress through the phases again will be fun

Spack-kelthuzad · August 23, 2021, 5:35pm

I’d very likely play it. While I was around for the original Classic, I didn’t give it a proper shot and never hit cap. I also rolled on a PvE realm. This time around I’d go straight in with one character on a PvP realm and focus on enjoying the early period with everyone levelling.

Changes or no changes makes no real difference to me, although I do think Classic needs to modernise and updates itself to survive past the initial phases or the only way it will ever stay relevant is fresh servers every 2 years or so. Classic+ is really the only logical future for the game imo.

Graceless-pagle · August 23, 2021, 5:37pm

I would always play on fresh classic servers, so long they were properly spaced. I am done with TBC and likely won’t play Wrath, if they do a classic version. From TBC, I can tell that the expansions don’t work well in a “classic” state. The original game does, and I’d play it over and over.

Smartdeath-stormrage · August 23, 2021, 6:04pm

All the way up until wotlk comes out.

Dooball-sargeras · August 23, 2021, 7:23pm

Classic+ yes.

Not regular Vanilla again.

Nerrick-ashkandi · August 23, 2021, 7:33pm

I’m going to throw out a crazy idea that people will scoff at immediately. I’ve been looking at a certain private server, and they implemented level caps for certain periods of time and then gradually increase the cap every few weeks or maybe months. That’s an interesting idea. I know the hardcore players who want to race and compete would rage about such a thing, but think about it…

The journey suddenly has meaning. The content along the way has value. You get to experience it all without feeling a need to rush past it. The world will be vibrant and alive. Players active in all manner of content. I think it would really help promote the game as a whole. Everyone is involved in everything at around the same time. More people = better experience in an mmorpg. At least that should be the case.

Otherwise it’s just going to be a mad rush just like Classic was. Some will enjoy the journey but suddenly and quickly the hardcore players are leaps and bounds beyond everyone else. There’s this immediate feeling of having to play catch-up. The atmosphere switches to one of min/max and ultra meta gaming…and we end up right back where we did the first time.

Delimicus-heartseeker · August 23, 2021, 7:36pm

No, it’s an awful idea.

Queén-illidan · August 23, 2021, 8:52pm

so theres going to be 4 live versions of WoW? seems pointless to me. hard pass on classic era, who would want to raid MC all over again??

Shaerl-remulos · August 23, 2021, 11:17pm

I might play TBC fresh if it came out in a few years, but I wouldn’t now.

Classic fresh, definitely not at the moment. I didn’t even get my main into Naxx, nor did a complete AQ run.

And that’s why I didn’t transfer my characters to TBC. I haven’t really finished vanilla yet. I didn’t get my rogue into Naxx, and I have a 58 paladin who hasn’t even raided yet, along with 45 priest and druid. I’d like to raid with some different roles.

So there’s still more I’d like to do before even considering classic fresh. Why do the same thing I’ve just did just to run out of time.

Unfortunately on my server, Oceanic PvE, the population isn’t large enough to support raids yet, but there’s frequent dungeon runs, and if the pop keeps growing ZG will become a possibility in the future (we’re halfway there).

Realistically I don’t think I’ll ever play classic fresh, as it’s literally going to take a lifetime to level all my alts anyway (I complete all the quests during levelling, not just boost them).

Since I didn’t get into TBC this time round I’ll probably play TBC fresh when they release it in five years time or so. By that time maybe I’ve got a few more classic characters to 60.
