Private servers aren’t Vanilla as well. Its only what people think vanilla was. The only way to have an actual vanilla experience is to go back in time.
There will never be a time where you can have a 1.1 server with a population of memory wiped players. Even if we got a 1.1 server modern player mentality would still destroy and meta the game.
It being a new time is part of what I’m taking into account when I say it isn’t vanilla. But the people making private servers did and do a much better job or recreating the experience than classic did. But as countless people have already said it’s most likely because Acti-Blizz doesn’t care about Classic (that much should be obvious to everyone) and they more than likely don’t want it do to well. After all there aren’t any micro-transactions on Classic (aside from server transfer).
Everquest p99 green is a fun server.
So you are admitting blizzard was right?
You thought you did but you didnt. And you are blaming blizzard.
Classic is vanilla. The community is destroying it. Every post here is people complaining and you like the community lol
So #nochanges really meant “until I want them.”
Good riddance anyways. Don’t need more whiners. There’s a fair and balanced and beautiful game I know of that has had 15 years worth of fixes. Maybe you can go there.

This remains the dumbest thing people continue to say here.
If you were here from day one it would have been painfully obvious.
The systems he is referring to were available in classic. Full stop.
Explain how faction imbalance isn’t a player created problem, specifically when all the horde players were in here 3 years ago ranting and raving about having everyone roll horde to dominate the alliance
It is for dumb people who are oblivious. If you were in the forums here at any time pre classic you would have known if you had a 3rd grade education
How is it player created when Blizzard purposely implemented realm xfer 2 weeks before Ranking dropped? That’s not a problem the players created.
Think a little harder bud.
Think about what you just said. I mean honestly think about it. Was it a faction only xfer? No? Was it equal for both sides? Yes. Players chose to swarm one server as one faction, then players from the other faction chose to leave. Player. Created. Problem.
I know you’re probably still a child and love blaming stuff on mommy and daddy and not taking responsibility for anything yet, but when that day comes you’ll get it.
You can never have that again, even if you refrain from looking anything up, because you simply can not forget everything for one, just impossible.
And also, part of it stemmed from the fact that we had not seen anything like it before, UO and EQ simply did not compare in combining the MMORPG game play but at a much more active and fast pace with, for at the time, fantastic artwork and a nearly seemless world, with only a few places that you actually had to zone (load a level) and that part you could not even duplicate with a Kid who has never seen WoW because he has already seen 100 other things with a whole new modern level of art and such. (Not sure on the gameplay sometimes these days)
Aside from that, there is not much that is not the same or close as possible, none of it really changing the game for me.
Server capacity is much larger.
API has evolved and wont be regressing, for good reasons
(still wish they would enable focus though)
Radial clutter adopted physics borrowed from retail.
No bearing on gameplay, but i’ll take it, i looks nice.
Spell batching does not seem a 1:1 duplicate but i knew to expect that
they warned about it
Most of the google-fu stuff stems from the fact that people seem to pick
patch 1.xx and say “This is vanilla, patch 1.yy is not” and then the proceed to pose one aspect of one patch vs an aspect in a different patch.
All of WoW from 1.01 to 1.12.2 is Vanilla, it has nothing else to be until it becomes TBC, and classic is 1.12 (and i guess final revision .2?)
It wont be “perfect” unless they run the servers off the legacy code (which they have) and compile the clients from the legacy source (which they also have)
I am not sure about the host side, but if WoW 1.01 of the CD is any indication, a legacy wow client in 1.12 flavor wont fly to well on my windows 10 PC with modern hardware, too much squirreling around to even get it to render.
And even then, there will be a laundry list of stuff that people will find, that was never fixed until some 2.x patch in TBC
i just did a census all day on Atiesh 380 horde and get ready for this 3164 alliance balanced sure
Yay! Another horde player is unsubbing. One more step to faction balance! The queues are serving their purpose well.
