    I'm curious.  When does the classic server stop being classic.  So far it seems they're on the same path as regular WoW, just starting over.  Is there gonna be a stop point, at which they say 'these are the only expansions that are 'classic'.?

    To me "classic" is vanilla Period

    Kinda wish they had redone the entire game using mostly/modified classic vanilla rules and mechanics, for those who enjoyed "classic" WoW but stopped playing coz they were turned off by "modern" WoW - as it stands it's not really a "classic" branch of the game, rather just new servers with delayed timed releases. It is pointless to play this since if you like modern WoW, you would be playing modern WoW anyways, and if you don't like modern WoW, then... well, you know what classic WoW will become in a couple of years.

    This is already a joke, whoever choses to play this over a private server now deserves to feel disappointed with this.


    Desperate people trying to recapture their youth by playing this need to stop giving Activision the Grifters more money for lazy grifts like this or every official expansion released after WoTLK. It's desperate people that keep Activision thinking that they can milk WoW until the last WoW player dies of old age.

    What?

    So you better play on private servers rather than official? Well , good thing is that we can chose where to play, right?

    Anyway, calling this "a joke", but at the same time, sending people to play the same version but on private servers where things might go wrong is pathetic.

    Wait. What? Are they seriously saying that there wont be any PVE fresh start servers?

    Last time I cchose a RP-PVP server, and it ended up being overrun by toxic maga types.

    The only way I was gonna coem back was for a fresh start RP server, as far from the trolls as possible. Oh thank god, they already Negged "Base don feedback... we will be launching two servers" and one of them is Normal. Thank god. I will take it.

    As if things never go wrong on official Activision servers... At least on private servers you don't pay premium price to get screwed over. Vanilla Classic is already dead and they have merged all the servers into one, TBC Classic is almost dead, now it's time to milk WoTLK Classic for some good 6-12 months and then scrap that one too.

    Yeah, I'd better play on a private server. The last one I've played on is still around and has been since 2011 with 10,000+ daily population and even queues, never paid a dime, still having awesome fun. I only paid 3 months for Vanilla Classic in 2019, thinking it was going to be a better experience than playing Vanilla on a private server, biggest regret ever. I don't even regret buying ESO and a few chapters full price as much as I regret few measly months on Activision rather than free on a private server.

    Remember, paying for the real thing doesn't mean you're righteous or morally dignified, it makes you for the most part ignorant and hapless.

    Paying doesn’t make you righteous or morally dignified. It does however make you a consumer contributing to their hobby financially to keep it alive. The other camp are more like free loaders, or leeches really.

    I pretty much look at Blizzard/Activision now as just trying to find ways to squeeze every dollar out of us they can......For people to even want classic servers surprises me...Its not like you havent done it before, but it shows a kind of desperation in todays gaming, even with thousands of games available.

    There are a lot of people that haven't done it all before, and not everyone enjoys the changes the later expansions bring. Also , wow retail and classic tbc may be the same universe, but retail has changed enough to be almost a different game.

    It's interesting that the Classic TBC servers are getting nuked. What a conundrum.
