I still think a reoccurring theme as to why this game dies is because blizzard doesn't take care of the community. Botting to sell gold has destroyed the essence of classic wow. People can't participate in the economy by farming their own ingredients within a reasonable amount of time. Blizzard needs to kill botting and gold selling. Blizzard needs to increase world loot of ingredients significantly enough that people can participate in the world while farming. The issue with the game is people aren't participating because their time isn't worth it when some persons running a script and devaluing everything that they are doing to an extreme. Tbc I got affected the most by the body because the world was so small and it was only in wrath of the lich King where they started making the world a little less bot friendly

Stop woth this 18 months, 3 years bs. Fresh needs to be every 6 months. Loke poe but slightly longer. We will have 2 things to be excited about each year. It's plenty of time to level and get tbe content done and maybe next time you'll be more efficient or get better loot. What's the point of fresh if you all keep focusing on 2 year intervals ? It's not fresh after a month. People are already 60 and geared on dd "fresh". What makes classic great is getting stuff early while it matters. Not 10 months in when you've stopped playing because your 10 alts are geared. They can add world 1st races for 60s and dungeons / rails. Maybe some changes each patch but not this sod crap.

Warmanes realm onyxia is going into TBC soon

I think the best possible move would be to drop progressive classic after Cataclysm (at that point I don't think anyone would consider it "classic") and focus on a slightly accelerated fresh realms of the original trilogy. Make each phase last 4-6 weeks instead of the original 2-3 months, then after Wrath, restart the realms. They could even give different tabards to show progression from the previous "season". And I think "Fresh Hardcore" would actually be great! I would love to see another "Road to Ragnaros" style event, as well as other achievements like scarab lord on hardcore! And having an original trilogy hardcore server progress along with the fresh servers wouldn't take up any additional space in the launcher, it would just be an extra tab in game like it is now with Classic era.

Their should be a rotation to WoW's Classic progression servers: Step 0. Vanilla "museum" servers already exist Step 1. Release Vanilla Refresh 1 Step 2a. Give players option to copy/duplicate/transfer characters to Museum Vanilla or continue to TBC Step 2b. Release Warlords of Draenor Remix on Retail Step 3. Release TBC Refresh 1 Step 4. Release Legion Remix on Retail Step 5. Release Wrath Fresh 1 Step 6a. Give players option to copy/duplicate/transfer characters to Museum Wrath or continue to Cata Step 6b. Release Battle for Azeroth Remix on Retail Step 7. Release Cata Refresh 1 Step 7. Release Vanilla Refresh 2 etc. Maybe a 2.5-3 year cycle. That's a money maker for at least two or three more cycles.

now imagine if it was fresh classic I tried to play lotro again, but it was just micro transactions bloat etc.

I honestly believe the best way to do a fresh release is to implement a staggered level cap. It would start at level 30 for the first week of release, then 45, then 55, then 60. This is the way to stop people rushing to 60 and raid, and give them more time to enjoy leveling and make friends. It would give people time to prepare for raiding, but there's a lot for a raid that you need to do at level 60. Plus, it's only a week each phase, so there wouldn't be that much time to be a overprepare anyway.

At 9:40 you may get hit by a nostalgic desire to roll Tauren on Classic Then you watch how 3x wrath drains all your mana and leaves a 25% mob for you to smash with your staff I'm good....

Given the amount of people playing on the "fresh" server deviate, I think it's time for official fresh 😅

Fresh classic is the perfect tool for buying the classic team time to work on a persistent Classic+. If I were lead of Classic WoW planning and development this would be my plan: 1. Take Cata Classic and all future Classic Expansions and give them to the teams that handle Plunderstorm and MoP remix. 2. Let Aggrend and team finish out SoD. Give them a nice long break, then begin the debrief and retrospective. 3. Build a plan for a persistent Classic+. Do not focus on adding player power or catchup mechanics. Focus on adding literally hundreds of new quests for everything from gear to endgame spells to recipes to summoning new dungeon and raid bosses. 4. A few months after SoD concludes, announce fresh classic. 5. Use all of the time that fresh classic runs (12 to 18 months) as essentially free time to work on developing and testing classic+. 6. A few months after Naxx drops, announce Classic+. Set the PTR date a few weeks out. Give no launch date. 7. Very limited, highly focused PTR testing. Encrypt all game files so that data mining is impossible. 8. Release with phases that are shorter but more numerous. Specifically and explicitly do not cater to the top 5% or the bottom 10% of players. Focus entirely on cultivating a community. Controvercially ban several addons, including weak auras. 9. Enter the platinum era of wow. Redefine what it means to be a "modern" mmorpg. Upend the entire modern gaming industry, demonstrating that good fundamental game design will always have a place despite what MBA bean counters might say about micro transaction revenue. Be the front page of time magazine. Global conflict cools for several years as everyone is too busy enjoying WoW.

I casually play Vanilla Classic HC and i only play it because there is no TBC server around and Vanilla Classic is it's closest thing.

I think if they did three servers that had a constant rotation, that'd be perfect. Each server would rotate from Classic to TBC to WOTLK. Anyone could play any version of the game they desired (or even if we only had 1 server that rotated that'd be fine too, then you can just join in when it's your year or so to go again) Could be just a set it and forget it kind of thing with blizzard monitoring for bots taking over and your character would just get moved somewhere else when the trilogy came to an end.

TBH i feel like cata is a more complete and fair version of wotlk's design. ive had a blast going between cata raidlogging and lvling on DD. shit is dope

Just give me a TBC Realm...

The only feeling we get is that they did zero maintenance with gold selling gdkp and botting in era that the situation made the servers unplayable, any fresh they do or people asks is matter of time before it turns to the existing era servers

If it was time to go back then classic era would be popular. Sure it's not a fresh start but those servers are so dead they might as well be

Classic is a community journey through the phases, and on Era, that journey finished 4 years ago. The Era population isn't representative of the audience that would come back for fresh.

i would love to play classic again but the economy on era is horrible and getting ganked by naxx geared people isnt fun

Frankly, I was done with Season of Discovery after the very first season. I really enjoyed it, it was novel, very easy to level up alts (managed to get all classes to max) and there were lots of opportunities to socialize and take it easy. It really felt a lot like mid-late Vanilla back in 2006, with people asking for help or advice, quite a bit of chat going on etc. However, the following seasons mostly added stuff we already had in expansions and they further made the game feel more like modern. Too much convenience, too many unnecessary features, etc, the "Seasonal" non-permanent feeling really started setting in. I would much rather play proper Vanilla Classic at this point.

We're really popping off now

It was never time to leave..

The problem with new fresh servers is the population will decline each time a new one opens. Sure, lots of people levelling at first - but good luck finding 39 people to raid with. Once every few years? Sure. So long as there's not too many options at once to divide the player base. The issue currently is we've got so many versions of WoW and its such a time consumer that playing more then one is a daunting task to anyone with any sort of time restrictions. So do you pick Era, Hardcore, Seasonal or Progression? Its a tough one to solve that makes everyone happy. Would I play a fresh Vanilla server? Maybe. Though probably not for long, since I have other things I want to do and I'm currently enjoying Cataclysm well enough (and like the people I play with). The notion of having less time to do other things and meeting new people is a bit much for me right now - so if I did it would be super casual.

Blizzard is feeding on the fomo/collection fantasy again in cata without actually adding anything good. If you enjoy cata, you'd enjoy retail too. They need to let us have our actual classic servers back before the sub count drops again. (I already canceled mine in hopes "voting with my wallet" will eventually make an impact for era/tbc servers.)

I get the timing, I think Blizzard messed up on timing phase 4 for SoD. I'm really hoping this doesn't impact SoD too much, it was extremely difficult watching how precipitously it died.

The beauty of running through the world with tons of other players is my main draw. I love the chaos, social aspect, shared experience, and parallel progression It's unique, especially classic WoW compared to modern retail/other MMOs where everything is shared and passive. There was nothing like creating a new character, watching the intro and seeing all these players run around where you start at. It's disheartening to want to level through a dead world/server, and less likely to stick with it. Classic is one of those few gaming experiences that really captures that MMO feel during a fresh release. It's still on of the best/favorite gaming experiences that only ever happens through a fresh release, or a new MMO launch, and I always have great memories from each one. 1-60 Classic is a good RPG game with other people and there will always be a want for that now and then.

Redoing the classic trilogy again is probably the best option for blizzard

The Deviat Delight fresh just seems VERY streamer forced. These streamers have proven to just fall off the map and go to a different game the minute something new is out so I just cannot trust it given the time investment needed. Though, as a Cataclysm player, if Blizz released actual Fresh Classic servers with minimal changes (only QoL changes like chrono) then I would be very very interested. I might even drop Cataclysm to focus on leveling.

It's true imo. Way less toxic. I resubbed to catch up after skipping p3. The first thing I did was try to find an incursion to do. I didn't know how loops worked and started clearing each quest on our first go around. I was bitched at constantly in the only group I could find because I didn't know the optimal way to run the content. This hasn't happened to me on TWoW. On the contrary, people are always helpful when asking questions about the custom content. Turned me off entirely.

Dad NA is poppin! Had so much fun this past weekend leveling with some new friends

ty for advertising the project willie, i love it

I've always enjoyed the leveling process of the original world, never been much of a raider due to time and life commitments. The one thing that bothers me in the current state of classic is that there is not an option for people that want to level in the original vanilla world, but also progress their character through the expansions on classic. If I want to level a new character through Cata, I don't have the option to do so unless I level in the Cata version of the game. I'm sure there are technical hurdles Blizzard would need to get past, but maintaining a version of the game that would allow me to level in the vanilla version of the game, then essentially transfer to a BC version of the game, Wrath, and then Cata would be so great for people like me or anyone who wants to level a character to a specific version of the game and then stop. As always, great video.

It’s time for me soon. To slowly level up, do slow quest text, explore the wilds, role play a little bit. Yes sir.
