I hope we get TBC era and Wrath era after the fresh servers move on, If nothing else for the sake of game preservation, there have been plenty of times in the last few years that I would have really enjoyed playing TBC, but well, I cant, its gone. For me the original trilogy of WoW deserves to be preserved, if even it was just 1 mega server per region

Wow classic anniversary is the best game out right now.

I’m loving the LFG tool on anniversary realms

When its time for tbc again i really hope blizzard will slow down the content phasing to how it was first time tbc classic. I want to enjoy tbc for as long as possible.

I hit the 60th first time at classic while playing at fresh anniversary PvE servers. Ever. And I just can't stop digging into quests and lore in the later parts of the game. As Alliance player, I just can't get enough how cool the story line goes one and culminates at raiding stage. The story line can be traced back to Elwynn Forest when you are like lvl 10, some q require player to go back and visit old zones, but with different angle. And I enjoy this so much that I do not even remember when I got so hyped about the gaming process. I just do not understand players, who spring to end game by boosting and super tight lvling process. Travel from 1 to 60 while enjoying lore and what zones have to offer is a huge part, why I am stuck with classic.

Why is everyone trying to sell Rested XP? Just enjoy the game and stop rushing to the end

[spinach]

lvl a character to 60 only to be met with "oh you dont wanna stack world buffs then log off for a week? sry, you cant raid with us"

[Ahrimas]

Still waiting for WoW to do an ORSR style recreation with fixed class balance and slow steady new content releases maintaining the original feel.

One thing to add to the context here for the 2019 classic release was what happened spring of 2020. I think that has to be taken into account when forecasting peak raid activity/participation on the anniversary realms.

Haven’t played since WoD, and WotLK before that. Still never miss a WillE video!

I FINALLY started SoD during the holidays and got my first character (troll mage) to 60 while playing with my girl and another buddy. Most fun I’ve had with WoW in a long time, even though the Rune Brokers were out we hunted down/did our parts to get them all.

I know a lot of it is me not being burnt out by being stuck in certain phases/levels but I’m just having a blast playing the game. Couldn’t get too many mid game dungeons done since we were all DPS but endgame seems booming.

If anyone has a casual weekend raiding guild on Wildgrowth, lemme know! Would love to even get an MC in but my only days off are Saturday/Sunday and most people seem to raid Tuesday Thursday

I love the original classic and ESPECIALLY TBC. Made some life long friends there. Started playing during the OG WotLK and loved classic LK too, but didn't get to play as much as I wanted due to irl conflicts and commitments (I wanted to be super sweaty, but only broke half a sweat lol), but this was a great experience overall. I think im done, especially since all my friends stopped, but maybe I'll play again one day as a casual

[bfrick]

It’s 2025 and I finish every sentence with a rising inflection

[immagonko]

Got back to SoD after not playing since phase 2, it's super fun

[JPJgamer]

2:40 what do you mean? Your graphic literally shows the opposite, Cataclysm has the least amount of characters doing end game content compared to previous versions lol.

[BladeRabbit]

Its about the journey, also RestedXP ad 🙄

[tchilst]

First name terms with a spirit healer is an underrated line 😂

The bad thing compared to private servers and actual vanilla is layering. The leveling zones are layered. So the 40 odd people in each zone are 5 to each layer over 8 layers. The zones feel so dead. Why layers apply to the whole world rather than just a couple of busy spots I will never know. Lucky I am playing with friends because the lack of player exposure in the zones is depressing. This is high pop by the way.

Private servers with increased spawn rates and the players kept together is so much nicer. Even vanilla where enough players in a zone would crash the servers would be preferable to me.

Classic a few years back didn't feel dead when leveling like this. It's like there are way more layers.

[akhsdenlew]

The only thing that made me go back to anniversary servers is the dual talent spec.

ANYTHING they wanna do in vanila and TBC from now on, Dual spec should ALWAYS be a part of it.

[EdgarClay]

I will always be excited for classic and classic era. Through Wrath. (Tbc would be ideal)
