This has been on the cards for a while since they shut down that popular Classic WoW server. Im guessing it will be fun at first until people reaslise how much of a grind it is. Personally it's not for me as I don't fancy spending 8 hours in one raid or BG.

Will give it a go, although I don't think I'll even make it to 60, I remember having to grind the last 2 levels and that alone took ages. If I have people to play with then maybe I'll enjoy the grind more.

It will do well, but not as well as the purist vanilla players think. Most will try it, realise the leveling is rediculously slow and go back to live.

I started after Black Temple was out in TBC so I really do not care about classic and will never play an old version of a game when I enjoy the lastest patch too much. It may be fun for people if a game is hardcore and you need to farm alot but when you think about it there is no future for it and at some point you kinda finished the game because the game wont be updated due to the ''classic'' style and for people like me with a job and a life...classic and hardcore is kinda **** and I have no room for that. Hope people will enjoy it, I already hate it

Will play along side retail, once my weekly stuff is done on retail which doesn't take long I shall slowly level a Classic character with a friend of mine.

Will be on a PvE server. With my casual leveling, I don't really want to experience the **** that is stanglethorn vale ganking.

Its a no for me. Nostalgia is an illusion. It will never ever be what it used to be like. I prefer to remember what it used to be like rather than trying to relive/replay it. Plus time is a huge constraint on the games I play today.

But I hope you all have fun playing it. Don't forget ti exploit the **** out of the bugs :p

I'll give it a go, there's a lot of stuff from vanilla I wish had not been changed, be nice to revisit that stuff.

Kudos to them on this server, they have left it with the Vanilla bugs and all!

That's because people wanted the full experience. Bugs are sometimes what makes a game great. Just look at Skyrim for example.

Oh I know, they have kept that aids hunter bug in (where you have a dead spot with your attacks), which is what I mean rather than fixing the annoying ones.
As Some people say the "Classic Experience" but then fix half of it.

I might jump on to it at some point, I want to see if people actually enjoy it or just liked the idea of it!

I was watching a few streams last night when it went live. At this point it is very competative. People are playing it as a race which adds a whole new aspect to the game. Reminds me of the races they have on PoE.

When i decided to hit the hay around midnight the WoW category on Twitch had over 1 million live viewers. It was just getting to silly numbers.
I was watching Sodapoppin mainly and he had a fully team with a strategy. Was funny because you could tell how stressed he was just by playing it. Thats WoW in a nutshell.

Saddly now all they just take it as a race. Entertaining to watch tho.
