I bet you tell people to google simple questions don’t you.
No but this is an obvious solution. People just like to be lazy.
My intention is to add content that was supposed to be in Classic, not make up new content like having Moruzond attack Stormwind.
It’s not being lazy, it’s helping the problem be seen. Who died and made you king of the internet? lmao.
It is being lazy. There is no problem to be seen lol.
Dunno why you’re sitting here at 8 am trolling. Is your life that dull lmao?
I’m not trolling. And it’s not 8am here. You asked for people’s opinions and I gave it. Thank you.
So your opinion is I am lazy. Got it. That sure was productive.
Even though that has nothing to do with the post.

Oh god no. No, OSRS is not a really, really, good example of how to handle this. Please no.

Care to explain?
Because the game is pretty dang successful now. It is an MMO older than WoW that did essentially what Blizzard is doing. We can vote the updates in. A very large majority of the time, only good things are voted in and things that were generally deemed bad for the game are not voted in (like dungeon finder and LFR).
And it bears little resemblance to the actual otiginal Runescape due to the changes “voted in”.
If you tire of Classic, you will not be forced to continue playing.

Blizz would be breaking their word on delivering a recreation of Vanilla.
This ridiculous premise that players will run out of content is laughable. I have what I consider an optimistic goal to clear Naxx within 10 years…one one character. Multiply that by however many alts I try to make.
The tiny, miniscule fraction of a fraction of the playerbase who rush through this content is no reason to build the game around them. Once The final phase is reached it should remain that way…forever. Though I do see the benefits in having 1 or 2 optional ‘cycle’ servers that run the course of Vanilla, reset and start over.
A separate TBC server is something else entirely. I’d have no interest in it, but I can’t very well say it shouldn’t happen. That would make me no better than the Wall of No Trolls.

The only changes I ask for are the content that Classic was GOING TO HAVE, but they ran out of time and had TBC ready to go. And I won’t be “bored” until I am fully decked out with Naxx and get bored of PvP, so I will be around at least two years if not way longer.
I mean… If it takes 10 years, idk what to say haha. But still, MMOs are built on community. Some people actually enjoy BFA just simply because their friends are playing rather than if the game is good or not. That’s fine too. As for going back on their word, the things I want added in are strictly things that were going to be; not new things they or Activision come up with.
It isn’t about the people that rush through the content, I don’t care about them at all. I know they are a small amount of the playerbase. I am talking about the everyman who will want to play for years, someone who is looking to “go back home” to Classic.
I will keep promising you that there is no benefit of “cycle” or “seasonal” servers, they will just kill off the existing servers or at least leave them as ghost towns as dead as retail Ironforge.
I personally like TBC but it’s not something I am looking forward to. The only good part about it for me (same with why I play BFA) is arenas to be honest.
IMO, Classic should not be changed.
Your “perfect version” of Classic may not be the same as Bobby’s “perfect version” of Classic.
I can speak only for myself, but I do not want to see the game I love (even with all those warts) changed and turned into something different because a few people got bored.

NO, this isn’t runescape. If you want some weird version of vanilla go play private servers or OSRS.
TBC is the only acceptable follow up.
No. You’re asking for WoW: 2. That’s not what this is.
In WoW: Classic if you accomplish all you want to accomplish you’re done. You move on. That’s that.
Classic needs to be left alone so that others can experience it. Bob Casualman shouldn’t be punished for waiting 2 years until he decides to pick up the game.
Diablo 2?

I’m not saying that my idea is the be-all-end all variation that needs to happen. It isn’t about me being bored personally either. It’s just the viewpoint of what’s going to happen if they don’t do anything. And these kinds of changes aren’t the same as asking for BoAs or Crusader Strike, that’s not what I want at all.
Shortsighted and you have no clue that Classic in of itself had very large gamebreaking changes throughout its lifespan. Every single class had their talents overhauled and refunded in various patches. Every class.
You’re asking that Classic be changed into something that vanilla NEVER was.
You can claim “supposed to be in vanilla” all you want, but the truth that those things were NEVER part of vanilla will remain.

Why is literally the only response “just quit lol” ? That makes no sense at all lmao. It’s a really bad copout of a response, literally no thought put into it but to jab and troll.
Sure he should be able to experience it later, nothing wrong with that.
If we are going to be fair, they have done some very, very, minor tweaks to Diablo 2 throughout the years. Same for Warcraft III. You also have to realize that Diablo 2 is a VERY small game right now. People don’t seem to want to mention that. If they still updated it there would be infinitely more people playing than there are now. That doesn’t mean we need to add things like LFR or LFD, those are something that should never be questioned.
Again, the changes I want are STRICTLY things that were going to be in Classic, but they did not have the time to add them into the game.
So you would allow some changes that aligned strictly with what Classic was?
I can only speak for myself.
IMO, if it was present DURING vanilla, let’s discuss it.
IMO, if it was NEVER present during vanilla, it has no place in Classic. IMO, that includes things that were “supposed to be in vanilla” but were NEVER implemented during vanilla.

Who makes up the “we”? 0.5% of the total population of WOW Classic Players? 1%? 5%? 25%?
Personally, as I’ve said in other threads like this, I have no interest in a WOW Classic that doesn’t stay Authentic Vanilla. (I am very interested in a TBC Classic, but as a completely separate realm that has no impact on WOW Classic, where I can play both and choose what I want to play any particular time I log in.)
Not only is this not something I want, I think it is extremely unlikely because it would require Blizzard to reassign development employees or hire new ones, ask them to try to maintain a certain look and feel, yet create new(ish) mobs and items. That is a lot of extra expense for the ??% of people who consider themselves done with the raid content and want new content, especially when Retail exists as the showcase of new content.
