This here is where I’m trying to emphasize the release is going to be vastly different from a new server being added back in Vanilla. There will be far more people doing exactly what you’re doing. Perhaps not for killing Rag, but just to get to 60 ASAP. Hell, I personally know several people who are ready to no-life / take PTO just to haver 2-3 hours of sleep a day for the grind.

Now, compound those people with the 39 (at least) other people you’ll also need to get to 60 with you, and there’s the crux of the problem.

  • How many people do you need to be absolute sure you’ll have enough people for MC? Given that some people will be giving up along the way (work, life, get sick, etc).
  • Let’s suppose the servers do go quiet at some point. What happens when a guild on your faction, or the opposite faction is also attempting what you’re allegedly going to do?

I absolutely agree that getting to 60 and downing rag is possible, and I totally wish you all the luck. I’m just saying, you’re handwaving so many variables, and if you truly want to make this happen, you’ll have to open your eyes and have real strategies. None of what you mentioned are real strategies, they’re wild assumptions and that will be your downfall.

IMO just get to 57-60 by day 5.5 and plan a PUG raid on day 7 with all the other high level chars if you don’t have enough ppl. The guys who are 55-60 by day 6 will almost 100% know what they are doing to down rag ez pz.

There are soo many zones for similar lvls that other ppl won’t be an issue once you get ahead by 5-10 lvls on day 2. By day 3 most will have slowed down or they get lost so it gets rly easy lvling on days 3-7.

I can assure you that there is no shortage of people. Here is a list of 249 actively recruiting Classic WoW guilds: docs google com/spreadsheets/d/1e7nMh8IaH5mNZ7MOx2it8MF7ULYdCIT0VqO6ubaUDq4/edit#gid=0
And that is months before the game is even released. Even more so, many of those guilds have over 100 members each planning to aim for the world first. Getting 40 people isn’t going to be a logistics issue for these guilds. Your casual guild, maybe. Your hardcore guild actively preparing months beforehand, nope.

There’s that hand wavy thing again. There is not that many zones in classic to level based on your current level, not to mention efficiently enough to get to 60 fast. Take that, and the fact that not all classes level like a Hunter. Some classes really struggle for that fast grind, and some of those are intricate for end-game content (e.g Priests).

Doing this on a PvE server is going to be very difficult, and I’m assuming since you’re so hardcore, you’ll most assuredly be doing this on PvP. How do you plan on avoiding opposite faction killing your leveling efficiency?

131

Last time I speed lvl’d every1 on the opposing faction are in such a race to 60 that they don’t risk ganking/killing you in case you might be that person who will come back to gank them and camp them. They just /wave and move along. lol. You might get ganked if it’s a 1vX but they will kill you and move along. You can just grind mobs for 15 mins if they took ur questing spot.

132

I’m not buying the whole “random group” of people who “knew what they were doing” 1 week after the game came out the 1st time.

133

The server was released 1 year after wow released. In case you didn’t read.

134

Now take that and multiply that by 100x. Go to kill a lvl 32 tiger? Tagged. Oh there’s another one
tagged. So on and so forth. Your cognitive dissonance will be the kiss of death for your week-1 rag kill. Had you expressed concern of these legit and definite obstacles, instead of hand waving them, “Oh it’ll be ez” tells me 100% you’re never going to make it
but good luck! Fun chatting.

135

Nah, it was on a pserver that had 18,000 active players during the first 2 weeks. Compare that to classics 2.5-3k max active chars allowed on 1 server and we would have to multiply by 0.166. lol, much fewer players.

The game will feel like a barren wasteland for the ppl who pull ahead on classic servers. At least for a few weeks.

136

lol. be sure to come back and update us on your Rag kill week 1, which won’t happen. I’m sure everyone is chomping at the bit to know your progress.

137

I’m sure I won’t be the only 1 to down rag on week 1. You will surely hear it from others.

And if we don’t
 atleast we tried :frowning:

138

FTFW
Stay humble, my dude.,

139

It will happen. Ftw it will be me 100%.
