Play classic vanilla after breaking 10year ago. Taking me back to that first experience when I first picked up the game all those years ago. Playing with 4 friends from back then. No rush to max, enjoy the quests and professions. We spend more time laughing at each other then pushing hard objectives. We level 16ish and just enjoying our time.

I think HC Classic is more loyal to the old game feeling, it's not about rushing to max lvl, minmaxing, playing with optimal spec, class or anything. Only goal is to survive to 60. I enjoy it much more than the endgame rush to raiding.

I quit WoW more than five years ago, but sometimes I feel tempted to go back. After all, I played it for 14 years of my life growing up. But I know that if I did, it wouldn't be the same. You can only grow up once, and the people and everything that made WoW the world I knew are no longer there.

WoW was more than just a game. It was a portal to socialization, fun, memories, new friendships, challenging content, community-driven PvP events, and so much more.

But I also know that if I went back, I would be chasing something that is gone forever. The WoW I loved is no longer there, and I would just be setting myself up for disappointment.

So, instead, I choose to cherish the memories I have of WoW. I remember the late nights spent raiding with my friends, the excitement of new expansions, and the feeling of accomplishment after clearing a difficult challenge.

I know that I can never go back to the WoW of my childhood, but I'm grateful for the time I had with it. It was a special experience that I will never forget.

I’m still playing Classic (Vanilla) WoW and have been steadily since September 2019 when it was released. In fact, I’ve recently created a new character. My (rhetorical) question is: why **wouldn’t** someone want to play it now?! It’s a great game, and there’s no hurry to rush to 60. I have three 60s and a couple of lower-level characters, but I love taking my time and enjoying the game with each character because I know that I don’t have to “keep up” with anything, nor do I have to worry that some silly expansion is coming that will make my hard-earned gear obsolete overnight. It’s s great game!

I can happily say I've picked classic up again and had to make a new toon because I didn't play when they moved the toons to TBC. I've been online in the middle of the night (1am-8am) since coming back and have made several friends and have had no issues in finding groups to take down objectives. It feels so much more down to earth and people are generally more invested I personally feel. You can see (Most) people running around past 40 and appreciate their struggle to get to where you are as well and share those stories when you come across a new stranger. Obviously its not a perfect game but its something that's able to make me smile and give me moments of excitement that I just don't get in a lot of modernized games. So thank you to all who play classic with the mindset of a gamer logging into a world and being open to whatever or whomever crosses your path, I hope you find as much joy in this escape as I have.

I believe classic WoW is absolutely the best thing and have very high hopes classic+ is in the works. It feels like a no brainer. Much like OSRS and RS3.

Im a new player, playing Wow classic HC. I understand why some pro's may not see the point to it, however as someone who doesn't know what I don't know, getting caught off guard by strange mechanics or irregular mob behaviour is incredibly fun. Most fun in a PVE i've had.

[gorrumKnight]

Hardcore has been the closest to old school feel than anything else. It's been the most fun & exciting thing I have played this year.

[seanwilliams]

If you're willing to come in to Classic and give it an honest shot, it can still be fun. If you want to recreate 2004-2008, then you're going to be nothing but disappointed. It's not, nor can it be, anything like what it was back then.

[Rethmaa]

Since i dont have a lvl 60 on classic era, i have started to level on hardcore. Died at lvl 40 and now i continue leveling on era to 60. Its a blast.

[TheDynastyWarrior]

I would highly recommend Classic HC, even for new players. I’m a noob and I’m having a blast on it. I don’t even mind starting over agin sometimes. But even if you do, you can just transfer to a vanilla server and keep playing, so I definitely recommend at least starting on a HC server. It’s so social and fun.

I also really hope classic+ is on the way, I don’t like that everything after vanilla made most of the world irrelevant. They need more zones, quests, dungeons etc that coexist with the game world, so more early and mid level content, think horizontal expansion instead of vertical only

[Ludydobry]

Started playing 3 weeks ago on Classic Era, its so good. I havent expected this many players in all zones... Its so easy to get a group for a low level dungeon.. Last time i played WoW i rushed all that because i started in TBC, its great to be able to play it again with the propper gear and level. Its super interesting. There are many QOL features that would be great, hopefully they do something about it.

I remember the time in a big raid, usually I am a tanking battle paladin, but our main healer went down, and the mages were on HP fumes. We won the raid purely because as a Paladin, I had healing powers and a big-ass hammer.

[mattmonroemusic]

I never run GDKP's and I get decent gear and still have fun while not going broke. Gdkp's feel slimey and I don't have that much gold to waste.

i just started lvling up a warlock on classic. i just wanted to go on that journey again from 1-60.

[kasplat]

If you want to play "classic" WoW, pre-TBC and Wrath, it is probably still a better experience on a private server where the server hosts actually care. And yes there is a "best" one, but it is close to capacity a lot of the time and technically it is beyond "classic" because of all the QoL features they added in addition to playable content not in Blizzard WoW.

[bonkieboy]

kinda scary he mentions "even if u are watching after this is ulpoaded for 2 months", and it was exactly uploaded 2 months ago.

[hokageeq]

If I absolutely hate one thing in my life, it’s definitely the fact that since I grew up, WoW was not that popular to where I’m coming from and based on this factor, I managed to get in touch with this universe quite late, more exacting when MOP got released. But ever since I played this game I always went on a solo journey as I have 0 contacts whatsoever. I have never been part of a guild for more than 1-2 months as I was always quitting due to limitations such as not finding people for raids and so on.
Now I have decided to give it another try, on the Vanilla server, potentially finding a decent guild and finally to enjoy the game as I should’ve done it since MOP.

[Valariel]

If you start HC today, you’ll be in the same spot as a large fraction of the player base.
