This MASSIVE Shift In The Community Says It All

We're seeing a massive shift in the WoW Classic community. Between Season of Discovery, Classic Era, Hardcore, and Cata, it's clear what the players want. Let's dive in!

Everyone please share your opinions below! This is in NO way a doom video or anything of the sort. I love SOD, and will continue enjoying it till the last day. I just thought about this and wanted to try and start a discussion and see how everyone feels about season WoW in general. Thank you all for watching and for supporting me. Love you all <3

Blizz forgot what a mmorpg is. Everything is season based now, then youre not playing a World, youre playing patches

I would love to have a permanent TBC era server while Classic+ is being developed. I feel like so many people are asking for it.

[kyleNoxiousEQbarto]

I actually check the forums every month to see if there will ever be a TBC classic server. When I was younger, I missed TBC because I was still playing Everquest. I got to play through about a year of classic but was raiding religiously in EQ. Then I tried some TBC on a private server and was just blown away. It literally seemed like an extension of classic wow, just some class changes that were really impactful and fair. Heres to hoping!

Can you redo this video when the mega servers come for SoD?

[Venaportha]

TBC was the best because of Badges of Justice. It kept raid geared players doing heroics. When they made raids drop Badges of Justice then it kept players doing them. In future phases they made the vendors have new items and items to profit off of.

If they make Heroics in SoD and old Raids drop Tarnished Undermine Reals, it will keep people playing

[Rustee]

It saddens me that people are feeling this way about SOD. SoD brought me back to loving wow. With out sod i wouldnt had met some really good friends that i now consider family. I enjoy all of SoD but the slow declining population in the sod is getting worse and kinda scary. I hope next phase they keep at it and continue this awesome adventure we are on. After seeing those small numbers i fear for the future of this game. There are good perks for one massive server and bad perks. SoD isnt completely over yet tho so heres hoping for fun things to come in next phases of the game

Bro, this video opened my eyes...
I've switched to Classic Era and I'm loving it. Thanks ❤

[fersan]

That's actually one of the reasons why I don't want to invest too much time into Cataclysm. Where do we go after Cata? MoP? WoD? Might as well play retail.

[Groovin]

This is why we need a new game based on the classic play style. WoW 2.0 not classic plus. The thing with WoW that hooked me was exploration. Not knowing what was around the next corner. Adding new end game content to a classic plus isn't gonna get me playing. I know every nook and crany of Azeroth and it's now become predictable and almost boring. How many times can a person run SM in any iteration and it not become mundane. Newer graphics but not Disney, A new world or Azeroth 100 years in the past or future, older playstyle without 20 spells and cooldowns with so much crap on the screen you can't see whats going on, no addons, logs, and the like. Integrate the 20 most popular addons into the interface. All new content.

Sod is becoming less and less relevant every single day. It was so fun at first but then it became the exact same grind plus runes. The fun wore off quick. I'll add that there needs to be more to do than end game raiding as most people raid log and then they're off for a week.

There is a balance somewhere between Classic Plus and retail and I hope they figure it out because SOD ain't it.

Love your content Homie

[samstewart]

SOD has been a fun experiment for me. Not only the new content, but I always seem to learn something new when I go back through the leveling experience. I think I'll always chase the fresh, wherever it goes.

Thanks, as always, Hammer, for the content!

I'm a retail andy but you're right. If I'm bored of retail I go to Classic Era or Hardcore cause I don't want a seasonal Classic experience and my progress is eternally saved.

[WorldofWarcraftMusicc]

To me the best think in WOW is the world PVP while questing and this video made me level a rogue and enjoy the world PVP in STV.

[Twiggyskulls]

Oddly enough, I feel I'm investing my time more in SoD than any other branch of wow. I wound up leveling another rogue on a PvE server since I had many friends quit playing in Phase 3, so now I'm getting to raid with another guild on this server on off days. WoW Classic Era holds no interest in my due to the time investment *required* to play, while SoD feels like I want to invest my time in it, despite it going away at some point. I never held interest in Cataclysm, and Retail just plays too fast for me anymore and has grossly inflated numbers as always with hp/dmg. I don't care to see all that.

[emilwetterlindhofgard]

Apparently the devs have said that our sod characters won’t disappear.

[chicity]

I 100% agree. I don't even raid log cause being older now I don't want to commit the time and investment into raiding. What I enjoy and have enjoyed in MMO's is gold making, professions, and being out in the world. I have close to 10K gold between my toons in SOD but it being seasonal there is no point on stockpiling gold. I have not even stepped in MC in SOD. ATM I am just leveling an alt so I can be out in the world finding and selling stuff.

[tableslam]

Aggrend (or maybe it was Tim?) said in one of the various interviews that there would be a place for our SoD characters to go. There weren't really any details though so who knows what that even means lmao.

I have almost the opposite view when it comes to SoD though. instead of "why would I bother if it's seasonal" I see it like "this is my only chance to experience this version of the game, I need to do it while I can." the way I see it even if they do a permanent version of SoD as a Classic+ or whatever it will be at least slightly different from how we have it in SoD right now, so some of the stuff that sounds cool or fun I want to try out before SoD is actually over. I'm not planning on like, dumping a shitload of time into any of those characters, I just wanna give em a try before it's too late

People are missing out in Darkshore, such a cool zone to just run around in with the music turnt up.

[hiperzone]

Darkshore is one of my favourite zones.

I take a break, maybe 2 months. I am and was always a pure vanilla lover, was hardcore from first time 2005 in EU and now casual. But still vanilla is my favorite no. 1 so I am happy, that they don't touch the era servers mainly. Population is always king in azeroth and i am happy on firemaw cluster. Best mix of anonymous and community feeling, you choose the guild environment that fits to your personality. When I got a cha. to my personal max. I lvl again. Since 20 years now. And I still love it. Vanilla is a timless Masterpiece. The begin of the end of vanilla gameplay was introducing flyingmounts in tbc.
