Let Mad be great again
I just want wotlk classic man…
real question is how long they can do this… wotlk classic, cataclysm classic… it's getting ridiculous
I disagree. I think option 4 is the best option. With a server transfer to BC you could cap the amount of gold you can take with you, which would be way better for the health of the game and economy. While it would be unfair to delete existing gold off characters, something needs to be done about the multi-boxing and botting and the terrible impact it’s had in the community – this can’t transfer over to BC. At the same time, fresh would be an absolute grind and it’d be terrible to make everyone do everything all over again.
As for dead servers, you can split the current classics into fresh servers and existing servers. You can copy your characters onto an existing server, and then do server wipes to have dedicated fresh servers. I think this would combat your fear of dead servers
they could maybe duplicate the servers and also your characters/guilds. so basically a tbc server and a vanilla server with the exact same characters, guilds, etc.
If I can start from a level 58 character, then I am in. I think having this option would at least cater those players who likes TBC but are not that big fans of Vanilla.
Can we have a "nomages" server? With mages class banned
Why isn't expanding classic as-is not an option…?
Best optional option : let us buy servers and choose. I’d personally do a fresh, endless P2, no battleground, no rank above 11, 6 months between each phase, so that people have time to farm and enjoy.
Burning Crusade over Vanilla(lvl60)
B.C.: flying mounts, more map area, more freedom to the talent tree compared to lvl 60, "Enough things to do" to reduce the stagnant feeling, etc. . .
I think each expansion should be treated as a separate game. Although I realizes that splits the population and could be a huge problem. The reason I wanted classic is I did not have the time to get all I wanted out of it. If vanilla just ends now everything was pointless from my standpoint, but I know that’s just me.
I was surprised to see how many people wanted to restart a fresh classic server.
lol u all stupid, tbc release will be on ocotber or septmber Noobs lmao.. mayb pre patch sooner
I wish they had basically option 3 but instead of the option to transfer your character to a classic only realm instead, they had copy your character to a classic only realm. that way my main could be copied to a classic server and always be there to do classic content on while i can still progress into TBC like normal
Start burning crusade fresh would be fun. But its a lot of work leveling your character again. So i'd prefer the option to transfer your level 60 or any other level char from the classic server to tbc server. That way if you had started leveling on the vanilla server you can switch to the tbc. Like a method you can always go from the ground up but not down. So when youre in tbc servers you can't go back to vanilla. So you can level your characters in classic content basically or stay there if you like vanilla. A vanilla plus for the vanilla community and a separate tbc server for the tbc people and most people should be happy (you cannot please everyone, its impossible). But im pretty sure tbc servers will be very packed.
I feel like i need a PhD to decipher all the options. Just let me bang bro
LEAKS CONFIRM TBC – though no word on release date yet
If private servers are any indication then classic will live on
I want my level 60 stay on classic server and also be copied to TBC server so i would have one char that i was working on classing also on TBC
that path of exile ambient music is great 😀
Actually wrath is the most popular on private servers for the past couple years
Hi MadSeason, I like your show, but you have been making observations about how Blizzard subscriptions have tripled since Classic release. Have you thought that maybe they have tripled because of COVID. People are flocking to all the old MMO's trying to kill things and reconnected with friends because of the shelter in place orders spread across the plaent.Just some food for thought.
Actually according to PTR global strings one possible date for TBC Classic release is May 18th, so your video made a lot of sense.
wowh madseson yo play on earthfury??
This is my question
As a new WoW player, I want to have an account with the max number of mounts, tittles and archievements, some of those are not avaible in retail anymore
Seems like classic is for me, the chance of starting a new account as if it was the old days
The question is : is classic going untill shadowlands someday ? In the forums People always say that after WotLK it will just reset back, I don't want to lose everything
Any opinions / comments guys ?
cant wait for cata classic!!!!
Can't wait for Shadowlands classic
Those green men haha
All tbc pservers died years ago while vanilla even today is healthy alive!
Less wrath? Wrath is the most played expansion on pservers and was on retail.
So I'm a bit late to the party, did they start any fresh classic servers? I just paid for a month and didnt know where to look so I made a druid on Myzrael. At lvl 19 now
kinda sad that the option they went with is the one option mad didn't forsee. boosts.
Here 4 months later and classic is now dead thanks to tbc and the extreme ease of access to “end game” (lvl 58) sucks that classic will now die out
The next fresh vanilla private server , launching on 30th July 2021 -> https://darrowshire.com
Wow, this dude is so boring, i cried myself to sleep
Low and behold, blizzard butchered classic
I think wow made a mistake of making certain areas obsolete after reaching a certain level, leaving behind ghost towns. They should've incorporated all the real-estate available to them and somehow incorporated all of azeroth into one giant breathing storyline. This would mean that previous dungeons could be reworked upon with different mechanics or given expansions.
Also in another mmorpg they solved the max level boredom problem by introducing a transcendent class which allows you to trade in your levels for a new class & skills so you could restart from 1, but with bonus stats and a new improved class title.
I just started playing wow for first time ever… and the vanilla servers are poppin
