Seasons is just not gonna go well. It simply splits the playerbase too hard.
Just put original 2019 classic on a fresh server schedule (very similar to EQ1).
You will get more money, more subscribers, more active players, more retail conversions.
Seasons are just a weird hybrid between 2019 classic and Classic+.
Vanilla WoW was brought back due to the passion of the Vanilla WoW players for the game that is Vanilla WoW. We don’t want all these changes. We want the game we have been petitioning about for over a decade. We don’t want some weird amalgamation of Vanilla WoW and Retail WoW.
Give us Classic like originally pushed for and call it a day.
For real. I also never lost world buffs to another player. I either grouped up and got them like a social person or was sneaky about it. It adds a whole new element to the game
Same, although our guilds main tank lost them all once and the guy who ganked him and then trash-talked all over the realm discord. It was funny. The most memorable one for me was having a warlock dot me when I hearthed after getting a songflower, he didn’t death coil but maybe he was playing and didn’t mean to kill.
Mostly getting the buffs was just about looking out and grouping up.
In my opinion, all of this did add an element to the game especially wpvp with known “villain” players and guilds. It also added to server communities. People can say what they want all-day but I really do think all of this makes the game more fun.
Seasons was a huge mistake, very lazy. With the time from classic, tbc and WOTLK you would think you would have classic + soon. I will be very surprised if classic + isnt on the horizon.
I’d love a fresh server to play on. I just started a new mage in classic last night!
Also, I haven’t been playing classic at all lately. What exactly is mastery and why are those servers locked to me even though I had characters on classic?
