Leveling with everyone, from the start, is a huge facet of what makes Classic Vanilla so enjoyable. For me, the progression and comeuppance is among the best parts of starting over.
I’m not ignorant to the fact that it won’t be like 2019, where there were millions of players partaking in the same experience, and that’s fine. I just want some life. There is almost certainly some nostalgia chasing, but it’s not the sole driving factor for wanting a fresh experience, nor is it even the primary one.
I hope we get a new start. It may not be soon, it may require more people to get the itch to come back to the old (better) world, we might just have to let it breathe for a while longer. But I hope we get it.
