MoP Classic; Where does it end? And why?

Community General Discussion

I was shocked they jumped over to Cataclysm and kept pushing. Especially with Remix. Especially because the talent trees changed. But at the end of the day, that was a good expansion and hopefully it inspires modern developers to see some of the better things wow used to do.

But where does classic stop? Its going to run up to expansions not yet in legacy mode at some point. Im happy for MoP but this seems bizzare. Classic is no longer about what WoW was, and that experience. Now its just a delayed timeline.

Maybe if they get to things like WoD and add in the content that got dropped, i could understand. But in just guessing they dont have the ability to do thay. WotLK didnt add in the Nerubian city.

But WoD is missing storylines as well. What is the puspose of classic if it goes to the short talent tree, doesnt offer anything different, and wont fill in gaps?

I know a lot of people here want Legion again, I personally would like to see an accelerated timetable WoD.

Stops when the amount of people playing it doesn’t justify the investment the they put in keeping it up.

For what it’s worth I’m playing Cata classic and chat is always running with people talking and guilds recruiting. Given that I’m in OCE and our population is lower (and it’s still so active) I think the servers overall are likely to stay for quite a while.

I plan to play it for as long as it goes.

It ends when enough people stop playing them.

Realistically a lot of people would probably love to play through some of the expansions that they liked or maybe never got to play in the first place. Plus, without the long content droughts of the live game, it’s pretty easy to keep people engaged.

I guess my only question is what they’ll do when/if they catch up to retail, but I imagine that’s a long ways away, if it ever does happen.

MoP was the expac I started with and I can’t wait to play it again, so I’m glad we’re going to get to that point. :dracthyr_comfy_blue:

I don’t get why people bring this up as if they feel panda fatigue, when this mode made a total joke of content in the end with the extreme gem power creep lol. Among many other things. In the end mythic Garrosh just fell over without much thought.

We may not know. I hope we don’t live in the cursed timeline with SL Classic. My interest is 100% in Pandaria. I won’t complain about playing WoD or Legion again, though.

I think Leg and BFA could be fun casual again. Class Halls had good play value.
But MoP and WoD not so much.

I hope they still do WOD, it was the last good expansion they did in my opinion. MOP I never played when it was current, so I guess I might try this out as I enjoyed the farm simulator when I tried it out and wonder how much more there is.

My guess is, that every 5 years they restart the cycle, so that we get classic again this year, next year tbc, the year after WOTLK and so on.

there is tons of players that started Warcraft in the later expansions, so if you missed MoP the first time around it is nice to have the chance to see it in its original state, we all know doing an older expansion in retail is not the same, it has been nerfed and gutted and not even close to what it was, I was glad to have the chance to do the original classic because I started Warcraft in TBC.

well if you missed challenge mod sets, wod weapons, magetower skins, i think its time to go back :rofl: and play classic from now on.

but i think they should stop it here. i think even mop is not needed

I had insanely good RNG in Legion, like never going to happen ever again RNG.

I’m reluctant to play Legion again, same reason I didn’t play TBC. The modern experience will never come close to the experience I had when they were live, it was too good back then.

Probably never and who cares if they don’t? They’re giving people what they want.

It will either end before BFA or Shadowlands. When the majority stop playing

Remix did nothing to satisfy the reason a lot of the people who want MoP classic do, which is the class design.

MoP and WoD both had decent class design. WoD was when we had 5,000 abilities and they decided to prune in Legion.

BDK had ranged nukes back before Legion, they basically redesigned them in Legion, with Death’s Caress and Blood Drinker and neutering Death Coil completely. I guess they didn’t like BDK doing ranged things?

don’t ask us in Retail. We don’t know.

16

It comes at the cost of every other players that would have prefered to stay in an older expansion.

i loathed cata and mop before i quitted

now i want to get into cata classic again (but not mop) and also the new classic server

18

As much as I regret missing out on Legion, I don’t think I can bring myself to play classic Legion.

Dude, I really had no interest in any of the classic servers. It was totally a “been there; done that” feeling for me.

I’m not sure why because I love playing some older games.

I only raided in Vanilla Classic. I skipped Classic TBC, only did dungeons in Classic Wrath, same with Classic Cata.

The vote kick abuse in Classic Cata is so bad I don’t think I will ever play a Classic version again.
I would get vote kicked as the healer in Heroics even though I had full Heroic loot and had all my HoTs on the tank + spamming Healing Touch + tree form, the tank would die through all of it and I would get kicked then deserter. It happened so much I just uninstalled the game lol.

Never got vote kicked in all of Classic Wrath though, tanking and healing H++.
