You should have given an extra week for leveling.

now tell us the release date for simple information like whether or not we can take these characters to Era when this is done instead of TBC, and whether TBC will get a permanent realm like Era?

Ya know… bottom of the barrel simple stuff like that.

You won’t see me there because I’m not even level 50 yet.

This is absolutely insane. The average person takes a month to level to 60. And that’s IF they’re playing every day.

The 16th, which would be the last day of the first lockout, marks 1 month since the launch of the fresh servers. Give or take a day or 2 since they also went live in the middle of the week instead of at the start…

We’ve had the same time roughly as cata classic had to level from 80-85. That’s absolute insanity.

And? Unlike Cata, Vanilla doesn’t revolve around the endgame. Especially not Molten Core. The world isn’t going to end because you missed a lockout or two

You don’t know how classic works then. If you miss a raid, you’ve missed the entire endgame. There’s no catch up. You have to gear out from each raid before doing the next one.

With the increased pace, missing a lockout is a death sentence to getting into any guild capable of finishing every raid.

You think Vanilla revolved around endgame, lol, lmao even

Even if it did, you’d still be wrong, because of how gear is itemized even in later tiers the current content will still be relevant. People will still be running Molten Core when AQ comes out. There is gear you can farm for right now that will still be your BiS up to Naxx

The world. Will not end. If you miss. A lockout or two

Will Onyxia have the same schedule as Era, meaning it would reset friday morning (for EU, saturday morning for NA) and giving a bonus Ony reset thursday night only, or would its 5 days lockout start the 12th on release, and thus be offset compared to Era?

Do I need to get the twitter meme about that being a whole new sentence? I never said it revolves around endgame.

I said if you want to do the endgame, you better make sure you’re geared out in each tier before the next comes. Otherwise you’re not going to experience anything other than perpetual failing MC guilds.

3 weeks is Thursday.

They should have had it release next Thursday for 1 month.

So how did you reconcile 2019 where MC was open day 1 and was already being cleared before even the very first reset?

Oh, right, you managed because the world didn’t end even though you missed a few lockouts

Ive done the hardcore Naxx grind back in 2006. The chase is unfulfilling and not worth it in the end. You can do the whole FOMO thing if you want and try to keep up with the 1% but all you will do is burn yourself out and realize it wasn’t worth it.

The journey is the real game

Yeah and I also didn’t do anything other than MC because two of my guilds failed because of corrupt loot councils funneling officers loot.

By the time I looked for a third I couldn’t find anyone to take me for BWL because I was behind on gearscore. I was really, really livid I wasted so much of my life and now was effectively stuck with no way to progress further.

I don’t want that happening again.

Monday marks 4 weeks - 2 days for opening Thursday instead of Tuesday

I can agree with that, but the only thing I didn’t get to experience last time around was all the raids past MC. I’d like to do so this time, and I’m not ready yet despite 6 days /played already.
