black screen
— Blizzard Entertainment presents —
Back to seeing deathwing . BAM music stops
Chromie steps in:
“Ho, you thought we we’re gonna let this mess happen again ? /laugh”
“Not Today”
-Pushes a big red button that says “NOt CAtAcLySm”
Black screen again
into a brand new expansions trailer, Storyline diverts away from everything we know.
the crowd goes nuts , blizzards stocks Skyrockets to never seen heights, the masses that ditched for FF14 come back on their knees asking for forgiveness, world peace finaly comes.
Zoom out, we see Bill Gates speaking with the former devs of OG wow
“We did it boys, We did it” - a tear in the corner of his eye
the 50 000+ players still playing on wrath private servers compared to the sub 2k cataclysm players clearly show this is what will happen Even MOP still has more players playing it
Personally I will stay in wrath forever given the choice.
But I’ve seen it happen time and time again.
Classic is the “tbc waiting room” because the game sucks right now but gets good in tbc
Tbc is the “wrath waiting room” because the game sucks now and it gets good in wrath.
I guarentee you there are players among us who are just playing wrath as a “cata waiting room.” They won’t make their presence known until the end of wrath though.
Then why has the vast majority wasted their time with tbc-soon-to-be wotlk progression servers? Your ‘yes’ to The Dark Portal was a ‘yes’ to retail WoW. We could be playing novel Classic content RIGHT NOW had there been just a little more foresight.
did you remember the full 1 year of content drought they basically begged you to stay subbed by giving you diablo 3 for free and a tyrel pony.
Pepperidge farm remembers.
Also it brought in goel (weak thrall) to the storyline which sucked. I mean garrosh didnt go full evil till MoP so i was kinda ok with the new warchief as he acted like a true one but then of course we know how that storyline went.
thats why people want a fork of the story. we want good thrall , good garrosh.
Blizz corrupted this wish so bad in live/retail.
Scaling is borked to hell. I don’t believe they have the inclination to fix it so sadly, because while it’s an awesome idea, I don’t want them screwing up Classic like that so I cannot support scaling in Classic.
