Truth, im playing a little retail while i wait on TBC, but I’ve already got most of my Nax gear, just missing my xbow, and once TBC lands I’ll be spending 99.9% of my time their. As for after ICC, nah I’d keep playing Wrath, I loved that place, I’d only get bored of it once i had 10 toons all in full Heroic T10.
And you’d be just like the people staying in Classic era, everyone has their favorite 
mine’s mop honestly.

You have the zones in retail, but you don’t have the spirit of TBC. I was one of those old players that returned for classic, i quit when WoD came out, i suffered through MoP and then just decided I’ve suffered long enough, it won’t get better, they will keep making wow casual friendly, they will keep diminishing the value of anything that adds power to one person so that everyone can have that same power. I realized that fact when i took a break when MoP came out, and missed the first raiding teir, and still did ToT Heroic, it didn’t matter I missed an entire Tier, nope i could go straight into ToT heroic because Blizzard doesn’t want anyone to work for it anymore, they want to simply give it away. So i quit, I came back for Classic, because yes more people are downing bosses, but there is still something special about seeing someone decked out in full Tier gear, there is still a sense of accomplishment for downing KT or C’Thun. Yes we know the fights its old content and not overly hard now, but it still feels good, on top of that, we talk to each other, without LFD and LFR we are forced to chat with each other in LFD channel, we chat in Trade, and we chat in our dungeon groups because it’s not just zerg zerg zerg claim my prize and zerg another one.
Kind of crazy because people keep talking about specific expansions and forget that sometimes there are individual portions of the expansion they prefer. My Warlock was god-mode Affliction during 3.0, but got trashed by Blizzard’s tuning for 3.1. Consequently, some of my fondest memories were of 3.0 and that’s what I’d rather play for Wrath. At each expansion Blizzard is likely to continue the cycle and leave it at its ‘end state,’ although they have yet to say whether that will be like now with 1.13, or will replicate the TBC pre-patch.
TBC had LFD, imperfect but it had it, it was in Wrath where they finally made it well.
Even Vanilla had LFD, but it sucks a lot.
Some people won’t understand that each one have their own perfect vision of WoW.
when i saw LFD i refer to the system where you queue, it teleports you to a dungeon, and that dungeon is nerfed so hard the idea of talking to each other seems crazy, and where their is no repercussions for being a doucenozzle because you will never see those people again. I’m referring to the version that ruined the community, when they do Wrath Classic I do hope they don’t implement the 3.3 LFD tool and leave in place the 3.0 LFD tool.
Techincally it had LFG, not LFD. LFD is the automated system added in 3.3

Yeah, I now remembered it, I got confused because you had to click on a stone to look for your group in Classic.
But honestly, I don’t think the old social vibe from the “old good days” won’t come back at all because we are a different playerbase.
People rather just level up in dungeons, buy gold from chineses in these days and min/maxing stuff.
it has boosts, a deluxe edition with a new mount, and a store
so no, because it has this breach plus none of the quality of life features of modern wow

Game is what you make of it, I’m still just as social now as I was in Vanilla.
I don’t think TBC Classic will be as popular as the forum thinks it will be. The allure of classic was getting to play in a world that was no longer accessible to us. We can still experience almost all of TBC now.
The idea of levelling a fresh Blood Elf in a game created by people that gave a crap seems a lot more appealing to me than the daily-punch-clock minimum-wage job that is Shadowlands.

Except now it can be done at level, with others that are at level, with the character abilities we had back then. As opposed to going there as a 60 and curbstomping even raid bosses.
The quests may not have changed, but our characters have a great deal.
This is why I would love for them to go as far as MoP for Classic. I miss how the characters played back then.

The alternative is you dont have any classic versions of wow and let people unsub from SL after a few months. Seems like a wise investment to keep people playing.
No you still gotta talk, the social aspect remains
Yeah, I remember that was a big selling point “No Joaquinlock!!”.
Difference is it wasn’t cross-server
I just threw up a little 
On topic: The only thing I’m slightly worried about in terms of classic servers is when they get wrath servers up. Having Classic, TBC, and Wrath servers might split the playerbase too much and leave them all pretty desolate
But I guess they can always merge them 
Yes, they have to curve the massive subscription losses as much as possible.
Wow doesn’t bring in or retain many new subscribers.
