When I think of the numerous camps for WoW; Classic Era, FRESH, SoM2, Classic +, Classic Cata, Retail, ect. I realize that NOBODY will be happy with what we get in the end. There is no BIG project out there, waiting in the wings, because the fan base of the genre all wants very different products. It looks like the BEST we can all hope for is little projects with existing games that are well past their shelf life and have no hope of bringing NEW players in.
Ideally, I would LOVE to see a rework of Star Wars Galaxies, a game inferior to WoW Classic BUT one with far greater potential. A science fiction epic of any flavor would be awesome.
The draw is that many find the game to be much more satisfying, rewarding and immersive when the realm is not a land of plenty.
Itās actually quite fun when everyone is poor and scrounging, without massive gaps in wealth and gear, and we would rather play on an official Blizzard server than resort to pservers as in the past.
The biggest problem with Classic Era WAS (from the launch of TBC) the almost nonexistent player base. It has picked up recently on some server clusters but that could fade away very quickly.
A lot of people love the leveling portion of classic WoW. (many people say that for classic, itās about the journey, not the destination).
I personally love starting over and leveling up with a bunch of low level people around. I love that nobody has any money, any gear, etcā¦
Itās great having so many people questing and doing dungeons. Right now, the vast, vast majority of players are already level 60, so why would any of them do Deadmines/Wailing Caverns, etc? Heck, why would you even want them to?
sounds like you donāt want to play fresh
ok
just play on classic era forever
some of us want fresh servers
you donāt need to understand the reason why
I think people enjoy the opportunity to try new classes, new roles in guilds, apply what theyāve learned and seeing what works.
Meeting new players, different stories and adventures. So itās really never the same.
As to fresh I believe they want a clean slate, making them feel things are fair and balanced for many things such as trade market. Power leveling being gone for awhile. Guilds identity are shaped on server. Creating potentially a name for yourself on that server via PvP or raiding or trollingā¦ā¦You name it, itās literally freshā¦ā¦.
With that said you can do everything on era it has the population to do all content. Except for finding your spot will potentially be harder, making a name for yourself harder imo, and the market is full of gold, and some players are full BiS. Itās just different plain and simple.
