i see so many people say "they will try this and than they will go back to current wow" you do realize that a really big portion of the people who want to play this, don't play current wow today right?
you realize how much quality of life functions are missing from classic wow right? the game's attraction is hinged on the sweet scent of nostalgia which was thought to be forever lost in the memories, but all that interest dies the moment people realized you can access the most unbalanced, broken and painful wow experience in all its years. it is almost as though players have forgotten how imbalanced classes were, and how much time and effort it actually took to level.
Vegas Vanga you do know that nostalgia only last for about 2 months right, so you Are completeley wrong cuz most ppl Who Are playing on private servers have played for years myself included so it's not the nostalgia it's the sweet unpolished game and the players it's just a better community in general
+lan600000 Why does spending more time and effort in a game a bad thing? Some people don't like just playing end-game content all the time, and like more of a challenge.
Thats incredible! In 04', i was three sitting on my dads lap drooling on his keyboard making a fuss eveytime he tries to play and i want his attention. Now im 17 and now more than ever, since i watched my dad play in 2004, i want to get that classic experience. I do enjoy the content today but i understand that for some, it wasnt the same. And i want to live that experience with my friends and my dad in OLD AZEROTH!!!😭😭
Eric Ortega I'm not even a wow player, barely played any of Blizzard's games, but this is just so good to see, I wish more companies would be like that... I cried a little
I remember our guild pulling the devilsaur from Un'goro to Crossroads. There was already a raid going on (crossroads was ALWAYS being raided) and we just rocked up with a T-Rex in tow. Those were the things that made WoW. When players actually made content for themselves. When they brought the world to life by interacting with each other rather than just shitposting in Trade waiting for LFR to proc.
The amount of nostalgia and emotion when this finally happens is going to be intense. Great comment, there will be plenty of those memories left! It's not the end, but it's the rebirth of memories!
i dont get how so many people understood where he was going with his speech before he said vanilla. I had no idea wtf he was going on about flavours of ice cream and shit untill he actually said vanilla.
As soon as he said Ice-cream I knew it was about flavors, hence vanilla. But that's also because I wanted it to be that, since I watched Blizzcon just to see if we got vanilla :D
i'm not even a native english speaker and i got it when he mentioned the flavors. lol dude. on another note, i think most people there knew that's it gonna be called (or refers to) WoW Vanilla beforehand, so it's kind of obvious then
The biggest controversy Blizzard faced back then was their handling of amateur-made 'WoW Vanilla' servers, which people enjoyed but Blizzard cracked down on. Not to mention, he was also the guy who said that people didn't actually wanted this first so for him to mention ice cream immediately connects the dots.
And now the private server runners will move on to more lucrative crime since they don't have people paying them for bootleg servers. Cocaine probably.
No, he's right, you can be "At War" with your own faction and if you killed enough guards, you would not be able to enter the cities. In other words, you could get exiled from the Undercity.

BC was actually pretty good. WOTLK was okay, but was not my favorite and not nearly as-bad-as MOP. Cata is where you missed out in my opinion. It was a truly fun experience leveling. WOD offered fun leveling, but that is about it. Legion is kind of junk. The artifact was a great idea and equalized some aspect of raiding - at least to me because I have the worst luck upgrading my weapons. The legion classes are super clunky and unpolished. I am looking forward to Classic, but having a sickly wife, two kids, AND starting a new career this year is going to make it difficult to level into 60. However, I will enjoy the slow grind and take my time with a big old fat smile!

I never played on Vanilla, i didnt even had a computer back then, but i get so emotional watching peoples reaction to it. The feeling of getting what you wanted so bad plus the nostalgia of that thing being something you loved when younger is something i can definetly relate to and it makes me so happy to see people excited and happy for WoW Classic, even tho i wont be playing it.
This brought a tear to my eye. I started Vanilla when I was 9 years old. Am 23 now. Gonna be one of the best things to go back and level again with an official Blizzard server. Thank you so fucking much Blizzard!
I remember only getting my undead Warlock to lvl 22 and leaving him close to the gilneas gate back when there were a bunch on elite humans there. It's time to finally hit 60 and fk those guys up.
Rengeez Strangely I remember my level 17 undead warlock and seeing a banshee from Warcraft 3. I’ve never seen the banshees from Warcraft 3 in wow again, and I don’t know what happened to them or where you can find them.
I only got my human warrior to 17 then stopped playing bc I died like 10 times In a row and I got pissed off of running back to my corpse (which was like a 4-5 minute walk). I am a modern day gamer I don't have an attention span capable of leveling In wow. But I'm planning on starting again and actually trying to powerlevel. I logged about 7 days of playtime on retail in 17 days so that just shows how much I no life when I play a game I really am enjoying I quit my job a couple months ago since I'm trying to enjoy my last year / summer in high school
This was the second Blizzcon I attended and I am so glad I did. I slept 30 minutes the night before and woke up at 5am to stand outside the Anaheim Convention Center for a few hours in the cold for some nice front row seats to what is in my opinion the best announcement for World of Warcraft in the history of the entire game. Not only did they announce a new expansion for retail and for the first time ever gave us the cinematic for it in the same ceremony, but they also gave us classic servers.

M exactly. Intelligent people change their perspective when proven wrong and learn from it. Not saying he did but it seems that way, and it’s what I believe to be.
My god. People are so toxic over the fact that blizzard released servers to accommodate another group of the player base. Now the people who liked vanilla can play that and everyone else can play current wow. How is this an issue?
Well when Blizzard started shutting down those private servers, the people who wanted classic were cursing Blizzard's name and hoping they would go bankrupt. Then Blizzard caved to them.
Can't wait to reexperience the hunter class. When pets had unique stats even if they're the same breed and you actually had to care for them. Or how you had to feign death just to place traps because they were only useable outside of combat haha
I highly doubt this Classic server will be truly "classic". Way to many useless specs, or specs no one will want in a raid, and that's not going to fly in today's version of mmo players.
I love wow and wow classic it what really helped me through tough times taught me how to handle money. Finishing task. Made new friends taught me how to be out of my shell thanks to my friend. Wow is truly my childhood thanks blizz
I never experienced Vanilla WoW so I can say I'm excited to see what they do for it. I remember nights back when I was little and hearing my parents shouting and screaming as they ran MC and AQ back in the days. I hope they bring Vanilla justice.
I remember buying this game and installing it when I was 11. It hat about 6 CDs and 10GB. I couldnt even imagine a game having that size. It took half a day to install. As soon as I started the game and listened to that epic Music I was hooked for years. Until deathwing came and destroyed my beloved Azeroth. Here we go again i guess..
Honestly I was okay with cataclysm as some of the zones did look cooler like thousand needles and so on, after the pandas came is when I tool a long hiatus
Watching this makes me realize how legendary wow is as a game. It came out when I was 2 in 2004, some played it when they were 13 others when they were 20 some when they were 40. It's crazy
@@Sikdomeshot I have played since vanilla and Wrath is when I really felt like everyone was playing as a community. Maybe it was my personal development with the game at that point but there were some real friendships made and lots of guild fun had during that time.
Still think he said that to see how much people wanted it. It's a classic way of getting hype for something. But i am really sure vanilla is going to be cool for first few weeks then die. 1its not free like most vanilla servers 2 it's not scandalous anymore to be on an ilegal relm. 3 it's vanilla
omg I installed WoW on dialup. It took 24 hours to do because the connection dropped out a lot. I had to wake up on the hour ever hour overnight to keep my dialup going. I got my first toon to 20 through blood sweat and tears before I got adsl.
Same here, but I think I joined late vanilla or very early BC. Born in '98 and I was 7 or 8 when I played. I was too young to know what xPacs were at the time. Plus by the time I got to 55 wrath was out and I made a DK, so it didn't really matter lol. I was an altaholic so I leveled veeery slow. I still remember doing Uldaman with loads of greys on because I always equipped gear based on how much armor it had. I did get my raptor though which felt good. Played every expansion since then except for BFA.
Im hopping back to, i played since release day 1 and quit at end of legion, Cant wait to get back in the game and do diremaul and all that shit again i love it
Fluffy rip.., to be fair I went overseas and everyone mobile games in Asia. Like doesn’t matter how old you are, on the train or subway you mobile game
To people complaining about this, you do realize that no resources will be taken from your precious retail WoW to develop Classic, right? A separate team will be handling all things Classic WoW. So with that said, I don't see the gripe with it? I can only imagine that the real issue you have with it is all the bad memories of you getting camped in Ashenvale on that PVP server you made the mistake of choosing..
If it goes live perhaps 20% player base will jump there, and when they realise how UI and world was hard and limited, most of them will stop, and vanilla servers will be max 5% player base. People really think vanilla was best, but back then times were different. Also people like changes, thats why every new expansion brings big hype, since classic wow wont be updated people will get bored.
I give two s**** about how hard it is that's what I want I'm tired of leveling to max level in 4 days I want a challenge like that private server was that they shut down
I don’t think that vanilla wow itself is what made playing back then an amazing experience. I think it was just that most of us hadn’t experienced an MMO RPG yet, and exploring through a massive world filled with real players was an entirely new and amazing experience. People confuse that nostalgic longing sensation with thinking vanilla WoW itself was amazing.
just check out all the private servers....while tbc is definitely popular, there are more wotlk ones than any, blizz would be fools to not at least to tbc and wotlk ones in the future
I started WoW in Apr 2005, way back when MC was the only raid, and when the honor system hadn't even been established yet. I am proud that I had to WORK for EVERYTHING back in Vanilla. People who started WoW during/after WOTLK have it too easy; they don't really know how truly difficult and fulfilling Vanilla WoW was. Now they will know, and I expect some serious whining from post-TBC players after classic servers are launched. Rofl I can't wait.
LOL at people saying classic was "hard" I can remember people calling WoW the kiddie pool of mmo's. It was a joke, you could solo world quests. Mobs didn't chase you very far, you didn't lose xp when you died. Most classes were what 2 buttons max for a rotation.
@RetralsFTW And you clearly didn't play Vanilla, I said most classes not all of them. Was nothing hard about Vanilla, it was a bit of a grind and slower to level. But even for the time compared to UO or EQ, it was a joke. It was far more accessible then any other MMO, and it became a hit. Fact is the easier they made the game the more popular it got. I would also put money on Blizzard tweaking classes and the world, for the "vanilla" server to make it more player friendly.
Damian Wong we started around the same time, no game since has gotten me as hooked or brought me more joy than vanilla wow... i remember i was in 10th grade and the honor system was coming out and i couldnt focus at school all day.
Probably would have cried if I'd been there. Truly have been waiting for this for so long. Cant wait for it to release. So far its everything I remember it was 😭🤗
bigbullbk They're not going to re release an entire game franchise they just made. Soon they'll probably make a new Warcraft as WoW is terribly outdated in comparison to other games of our time.
To be honest this was SUCH an easy win financially for Blizzard. Yes it's taking about 2 years between this and the August 2019 release. But the team is relatively small. A fraction of the team working on retail. The costs will be very small compared with - say - a full expansion of retail. They have the BC and WotLK expansions there, in the game now, almost exactly as they were on release if they ever wanted to add those on selected Classic servers servers. The fact that teams of 5 or 6 enthusiasts have been able to get 95% of a Classic server running unofficially for years shows it isn't THAT much work. Sure they want to do it right. I've been on perhaps 6 private servers over the years. Never for long. Loved the game, but after 2 of them were shut down a few weeks after I joined it always felt like I was playing a game - levelling a character that could be removed at a seconds notice when Blizzard filed a law suit. So I never invested much. But I played enough to see that a couple of them really had it done very very well. Teams of 5 or 6 people running these servers and doing a bang up job. Not perfect, not exact. But almost "good enough" I play the community SWG now (legal - I won the disks and the server side is written from scratch) that took I think 15 people about 3 years to put together. Most of the team had other paid work outside remaking SWG. So yeah Classic is great. I'll play the hell out of it. But it really was a no brainer move for Blizzard. If a team of 6 can put together a very close approximation of the Classic game I 'm damn sure the original design studio could do it without breaking the bank.
2 MORE DAYS AND I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER!!!!!!!!! Back then we knew that its going to be years, but ever since we had the release date waiting got harder and harder. Thanks to all of you ammoying the shit out of blizzard to make this happen. I honestly never believed that you could do it bbut you did. You rock!
What i loved about vanilla= alliance had paladins horde had shamans, no flying mounts, pve wasnt as easy no stupid gnome cars, gnomes started same locstion as dwarves, levelling took time, etc etc..
As a new WoW player (created my first char, a night elf hunter 2 days ago and completely addicted) what do you guys recommend? Should i wait for wow classic or get right into normal wow

Hundreds of people just got back their virginity
Why doesn't this have more likes?!
Ebola Chan Amen!!!!
As if they'd lost it since then.
Ebola Chan what realm is that?
WoW never took my virginity, lol!
This was delivered so well. When he mentioned ice cream I was like "holy shit no way"
So well? Fuck blizzard they are fucking retarded
same - I was like "No way" and then "please say Vanilla, say Vanilla" and rest...is well history :)
Not gonna lie the way they announced that was pretty fucking smooth.
My life is complete, thanks blizzard. Better late than never and thank you Nostalrius.
watungedoe never forget Nostalrius
it will take some time to launch this baby, so why not stay a little bit longer on privat realms..
There were private servers way before that played vanilla but whatever
90% of those, and still today, are just cashgrabs.
^^^^ and buggy as fuck to boot
I am coming back to WoW just for Classic!
EX1 same
same here xD
Same!
Same cant wait stopped during wotlk
Same
i see so many people say "they will try this and than they will go back to current wow"
you do realize that a really big portion of the people who want to play this, don't play current wow today right?
you realize how much quality of life functions are missing from classic wow right? the game's attraction is hinged on the sweet scent of nostalgia which was thought to be forever lost in the memories, but all that interest dies the moment people realized you can access the most unbalanced, broken and painful wow experience in all its years. it is almost as though players have forgotten how imbalanced classes were, and how much time and effort it actually took to level.
That's what people said about runescape, you are wrong. Just wait.
Vegas Vanga you do know that nostalgia only last for about 2 months right, so you Are completeley wrong cuz most ppl Who Are playing on private servers have played for years myself included so it's not the nostalgia it's the sweet unpolished game and the players it's just a better community in general

i played wow clasic back in 04 when i was young... now i get to play it again.. now with my son :) life is good
thats amazing! i really hope to get to share these amazing creations to a kid of my own some day

I cried a little
You are really not the only one....my eyes are still watery watching this.
"We hear you" ... After LITERALLY 10 YEARS of us begging for it.
They're practically patting themselves on the back for unclogging their own ears.
And after shutting down all community-owned vanilla WoW servers, so they could make more money.
YOU THINK YOU WANT IT....but you don't "Blizzard's Excuse for 10 years"
LMAO y'all should have just stopped playing like us OSRS players. Jagex gave us those old servers back real quick.
It wasnt this easy mate, they had to find and recover every data from 2004 , its not like they can rewamp the game with one click,
at long last, we're going home
Jabikz I never played vanilla but I fell like I'm coming home to
Jabikz 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
well, as close to home as were going to get.
Jabikz and getting bored to death after 3 months
no, you can't go back in time its impossible
Someone once said.." you think you do, but you don't".... but they lacked vision..
Best comment period.
These fan reaction videos are the best ones. love that screaming
i love these sorts of videos! too!
You mean cringe?
yes, just like beiber fans....
I love it too

Goodbye Private realm, hello Official server. People gonna get dunked on.
Private server owners were crying tears of joy over the news. They will be happy to power down those servers once the official Blizz ones come online
Lol I'd easily trust private servers way more that they won't fuck up than Blizzard itself nowadays lol
People running private servers are like the mob or drug dealers selling things that are forbidden to them, now that its legal everyone benefits.
Like Giannis dunking on Curry
And now the private server runners will move on to more lucrative crime since they don't have people paying them for bootleg servers. Cocaine probably.
sweet, I can buy arrows again and get exiled from the under city.
Yoooooooo, I totally forgot you could mark yourself "At War" with your own faction. LMAO

No, he's right, you can be "At War" with your own faction and if you killed enough guards, you would not be able to enter the cities. In other words, you could get exiled from the Undercity.

Chris Bozenski hope this was a joke
nax was vanilla it was only remastered in wrath because so few players actually got to play naxxramas in classic
This has to be one of the most important moments in gaming history.

My god. I️ played from late Vanilla into all of Burning Crusade and WOTLK, and quit right when Cataclysm came out. I️ can not wait for this.
BC was actually pretty good. WOTLK was okay, but was not my favorite and not nearly as-bad-as MOP. Cata is where you missed out in my opinion. It was a truly fun experience leveling.

@giveagoodsong the only bad thing that was bad about BC is the plot
Ah, and druids were so hard to kill in PvP
I love WoW
I just wish i could fully experience it with friends.
Beetle Juice same :(
Let's just all start in a new realm and form a guild and we'll have each other lol
Beetle Juice That's why WoW was a beatiful game up to WotLK; people were helping each other because there was a reason to.
Had no friends who played wow joined good guild and now I cannot wait to play with them. Just gotta search for good social guild

amazing announcement, but this is hilarious considering this is the same guy who said "you think you want it, but you dont."
Gotta respect him for being the one to deliver the release
M exactly. Intelligent people change their perspective when proven wrong and learn from it. Not saying he did but it seems that way, and it’s what I believe to be.
@@milkystars666 see, but he hasn't come out and said he changed his point of view. I think he just saw the profit that he could make and went for it.
@@jake212 true
I'm gonna be addicted again.....
Toby Gunn I know. I’m excited. 😂
yo, any coments 2years later ? do you still play classic ? do you enjoy it ?
@@crazylazyfaster6123 there are still queue times on the logging screen, so yeah people are enjoying it.
My body hair is standing up, I have goose bumps, and I got chills down my spine while watching this video.
Lol still comments every hour even though a year passed already since this video upload
My god. People are so toxic over the fact that blizzard released servers to accommodate another group of the player base. Now the people who liked vanilla can play that and everyone else can play current wow. How is this an issue?
Well when Blizzard started shutting down those private servers, the people who wanted classic were cursing Blizzard's name and hoping they would go bankrupt.
Then Blizzard caved to them.
@@LuckySmurf Blizzard does something they don't like, they react negatively. Blizzard does something they like they react positively. I'm shocked.
@@Sarkkoth You asked why people were toxic to the idea of classic servers. I gave you a possible reason.
and many will play both. everyone is happy.
@@sam-psonsmith9951 At the cost of splitting resources to support both versions.
Ready to lose my job, home, investments, and everything I hold dear. Classic here we come.
your gonna need more then a few servers im gonna say.
3 million vanilla players, so about 50 servers will do.
aslong as i have 2-3k people on my classic server im good.
Then again i have grown used to between 5-10k as i have been playing on nost/elysium/lightshope..
@CalvinSomething vanilla number was 2500 per server i belive
I honestly never thought I'd be able to experience the golden days of WoW officially....now I can 😭😭😭😭
Can't wait to reexperience the hunter class. When pets had unique stats even if they're the same breed and you actually had to care for them. Or how you had to feign death just to place traps because they were only useable outside of combat haha
Exactly dude! God I miss my hunter so much. Have fun when you re-enter WoW-vanilla and greetings from Germany!
I highly doubt this Classic server will be truly "classic". Way to many useless specs, or specs no one will want in a raid, and that's not going to fly in today's version of mmo players.
I really don't think (hope) they're targeting the common casual mmo player with this announcement.
@@spencers4121 Aged poorly. RIP all the hybrids
The vanilla experience is a one of a kind experience. However Nostalrius and their team pushed back and made it a twice in a lifetime adventure !!!
i never even played wow and this made me cry. I'm so happy that you all are getting to experience this. I've had a blast watching people stream it.
It truly was a blast. My fondest memories in my young adult life.
Well the beginning of cataclysm I left and never looked backed. I will be coming back for this. Thx blizzard
I love wow and wow classic it what really helped me through tough times taught me how to handle money. Finishing task. Made new friends taught me how to be out of my shell thanks to my friend. Wow is truly my childhood thanks blizz
I never experienced Vanilla WoW so I can say I'm excited to see what they do for it. I remember nights back when I was little and hearing my parents shouting and screaming as they ran MC and AQ back in the days. I hope they bring Vanilla justice.
Watching this again, seing the dwarf with his bear, hearing the music... this brought tears to my eyes.. again.
I remember buying this game and installing it when I was 11. It hat about 6 CDs and 10GB. I couldnt even imagine a game having that size. It took half a day to install. As soon as I started the game and listened to that epic Music I was hooked for years. Until deathwing came and destroyed my beloved Azeroth.
Here we go again i guess..
Honestly I was okay with cataclysm as some of the zones did look cooler like thousand needles and so on, after the pandas came is when I tool a long hiatus
literally tears in my eyes, such beauty. already got a guild ready and other preparations. i am fucking ready
Ironic, the very same man that said (About players wanting classic servers): "You think you do, but you dont."
Tears of joy
I started playing in BC so i can't wait for this honestly
Watching this makes me realize how legendary wow is as a game. It came out when I was 2 in 2004, some played it when they were 13 others when they were 20 some when they were 40. It's crazy
The only thing im hoping for is that u can not buy max lvl...
There is no way man. Considering the main point of vanilla is the leveling process itself.
Now they are going to be pressured to do a tbc and wotlk one
Chef I'd love playing at a BC one
dude if they launch woltk legacy or progress it through vanilla.. fuck college
well, technically if they take the time to figure out what the community wants, they could make it happen. its all about getting subs
I would love Wrath again!
@@Sikdomeshot I have played since vanilla and Wrath is when I really felt like everyone was playing as a community. Maybe it was my personal development with the game at that point but there were some real friendships made and lots of guild fun had during that time.
I’ve been gone since 2013. This will bring me back for at least a year
the flavor was to overwhelming i cried a little
U think u do but u DO!:)
"Someone once said that you can't go home again, but they lacked vision!"
Looking at how many people want changes, it looks like they really didn't...
CorrugatedLadder
That word does not mean what you think it means. I don't give a shit, I just find the community funny.
Still think he said that to see how much people wanted it. It's a classic way of getting hype for something. But i am really sure vanilla is going to be cool for first few weeks then die. 1its not free like most vanilla servers
2 it's not scandalous anymore to be on an ilegal relm.
3 it's vanilla
its going to be really popular. it will not die anytime soon
Glad TH-cam recommended to me.. I was there & literally got chills from the announcement trailer. Good to relive :D
Everyone with crappy computers can play wow again better than they could back when vanilla first launched lmao.
omg I installed WoW on dialup. It took 24 hours to do because the connection dropped out a lot. I had to wake up on the hour ever hour overnight to keep my dialup going. I got my first toon to 20 through blood sweat and tears before I got adsl.
Not really. Classic is based on current wow engine so we need modern pc.
Graphics are going to be seriously dumbed down so even a toster is going to be able to run it at some capacity
I still watch this and get shivers. when that dwarf and his bear walk on set i almost cry every time im so pumped to play this.
I stared playing in BC when I was 7 years old and I'm SO excited to experience vanilla 💕
Can't wait
Same here, but I think I joined late vanilla or very early BC. Born in '98 and I was 7 or 8 when I played. I was too young to know what xPacs were at the time. Plus by the time I got to 55 wrath was out and I made a DK, so it didn't really matter lol. I was an altaholic so I leveled veeery slow.
I still remember doing Uldaman with loads of greys on because I always equipped gear based on how much armor it had. I did get my raptor though which felt good. Played every expansion since then except for BFA.
This was amazing, i cant wait to raid in vanilla and play through classic wow
Im hopping back to, i played since release day 1 and quit at end of legion,
Cant wait to get back in the game and do diremaul and all that shit again i love it
Chills! This blizzcon, it’s going to be Classic Plus! #hype
Then came the Diablo Imortal announcment and the crowd got even happier!!
Fluffy rip.., to be fair I went overseas and everyone mobile games in Asia. Like doesn’t matter how old you are, on the train or subway you mobile game
Thank you so much for doing this! And also damn those ninjas cutting onions.
To people complaining about this, you do realize that no resources will be taken from your precious retail WoW to develop Classic, right? A separate team will be handling all things Classic WoW. So with that said, I don't see the gripe with it? I can only imagine that the real issue you have with it is all the bad memories of you getting camped in Ashenvale on that PVP server you made the mistake of choosing..
Keep coming back time and again to see the crowd reaction videos, love the screams of excitement, also im going to see te commercial now
you think you do, but you dont
u think we didnt, but we did all the time
hehe
If it goes live perhaps 20% player base will jump there, and when they realise how UI and world was hard and limited, most of them will stop, and vanilla servers will be max 5% player base. People really think vanilla was best, but back then times were different. Also people like changes, thats why every new expansion brings big hype, since classic wow wont be updated people will get bored.
I give two s**** about how hard it is that's what I want I'm tired of leveling to max level in 4 days I want a challenge like that private server was that they shut down
i agree with ya there tbh. nostalgia is the only reason people want it.
Заметьте, все стали бурно реагировать только с момента появления Артаса. Это многое говорит о качестве последующих аддонов.
I don’t think that vanilla wow itself is what made playing back then an amazing experience. I think it was just that most of us hadn’t experienced an MMO RPG yet, and exploring through a massive world filled with real players was an entirely new and amazing experience. People confuse that nostalgic longing sensation with thinking vanilla WoW itself was amazing.
You're right goddammit.
Was born in 95. I was pretty young 2 raid in classic. But now, as a 24 year old, IM COMING BABY !
same
I love the fangirling over the mere sight of the Lich King. I think I know what are the 2 next official legacy servers :)
just check out all the private servers....while tbc is definitely popular, there are more wotlk ones than any, blizz would be fools to not at least to tbc and wotlk ones in the future
I love the reaction the LK got. I started in Wrath so it will always be my favorite x-pac.
I started WoW in Apr 2005, way back when MC was the only raid, and when the honor system hadn't even been established yet. I am proud that I had to WORK for EVERYTHING back in Vanilla. People who started WoW during/after WOTLK have it too easy; they don't really know how truly difficult and fulfilling Vanilla WoW was.
Now they will know, and I expect some serious whining from post-TBC players after classic servers are launched. Rofl I can't wait.
LOL at people saying classic was "hard" I can remember people calling WoW the kiddie pool of mmo's. It was a joke, you could solo world quests. Mobs didn't chase you very far, you didn't lose xp when you died. Most classes were what 2 buttons max for a rotation.
I think they are speaking relatively to the current WoW. ...
spencer s 2 buttons max?, I guess you couldn't get passed level 6 lmao
@RetralsFTW And you clearly didn't play Vanilla, I said most classes not all of them. Was nothing hard about Vanilla, it was a bit of a grind and slower to level. But even for the time compared to UO or EQ, it was a joke. It was far more accessible then any other MMO, and it became a hit. Fact is the easier they made the game the more popular it got.
I would also put money on Blizzard tweaking classes and the world, for the "vanilla" server to make it more player friendly.
Damian Wong we started around the same time, no game since has gotten me as hooked or brought me more joy than vanilla wow... i remember i was in 10th grade and the honor system was coming out and i couldnt focus at school all day.
Couldnt wait to get out of work to play classic..... turns out the 9 hour Qeue made me miss the launch day.... hopefully i can get in tommorrow.
Some servers are about a 30 min queue, I'd consider rerolling
Dev team: "You think you want that [classic servers] but you don't"
Exactly 3 years ago.
Just sayin'.
Probably would have cried if I'd been there. Truly have been waiting for this for so long. Cant wait for it to release. So far its everything I remember it was 😭🤗
I thought once the servers went live I'd stop having the urge to watch this every day... Nope lol
Loved the introduction with the ice cream reference.
Holy shit after years I gotta get back to WoW
dunno whatched it now like 20 times and everytime he says vanilla i get goosebumps
I watched this at home and i jumped out of my fucking seat
Burning Crusade was the best of all.
Its coming next depending on how the classic server does. I fully expect there to be a long login wait time for the first few months.
I agree, it is also my favorite cinematic trailer, hehe.
bigbullbk wait, how do you know? Or are you simply guessing?
turbotrup96 guessing but it would make sense. If Vanilla does really well, makes sense that they can profit from a BC server also.
bigbullbk They're not going to re release an entire game franchise they just made. Soon they'll probably make a new Warcraft as WoW is terribly outdated in comparison to other games of our time.
Goosebumps non stop when the trailer played, the nostalgia god damn, childhood.
as soon as he said ice cream, i thought omfg vanilla is the best fuckin flavor
I can hear lvl 58 death knight getting excited for vanilla again
Wow, pun intended, that was actually a really well done intro and announcement. Thanks for posting it.
"not the actual launch experience" XD
Almost there!
To be honest this was SUCH an easy win financially for Blizzard. Yes it's taking about 2 years between this and the August 2019 release. But the team is relatively small. A fraction of the team working on retail. The costs will be very small compared with - say - a full expansion of retail.
They have the BC and WotLK expansions there, in the game now, almost exactly as they were on release if they ever wanted to add those on selected Classic servers servers.
The fact that teams of 5 or 6 enthusiasts have been able to get 95% of a Classic server running unofficially for years shows it isn't THAT much work. Sure they want to do it right. I've been on perhaps 6 private servers over the years. Never for long. Loved the game, but after 2 of them were shut down a few weeks after I joined it always felt like I was playing a game - levelling a character that could be removed at a seconds notice when Blizzard filed a law suit. So I never invested much. But I played enough to see that a couple of them really had it done very very well. Teams of 5 or 6 people running these servers and doing a bang up job. Not perfect, not exact. But almost "good enough"
I play the community SWG now (legal - I won the disks and the server side is written from scratch) that took I think 15 people about 3 years to put together. Most of the team had other paid work outside remaking SWG.
So yeah Classic is great. I'll play the hell out of it.
But it really was a no brainer move for Blizzard. If a team of 6 can put together a very close approximation of the Classic game I 'm damn sure the original design studio could do it without breaking the bank.
2 MORE DAYS AND I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER!!!!!!!!! Back then we knew that its going to be years, but ever since we had the release date waiting got harder and harder. Thanks to all of you ammoying the shit out of blizzard to make this happen. I honestly never believed that you could do it bbut you did. You rock!
What i loved about vanilla= alliance had paladins horde had shamans, no flying mounts, pve wasnt as easy no stupid gnome cars, gnomes started same locstion as dwarves, levelling took time, etc etc..
robertwarrior classic raid so easy ..no boss mechanics nothing..just some fire you have to move out...vanilla was good bcus everything was new..
Wirtschaftasylant “no boss mechanics” roflmao.
Vanilla was good because everything was new? Lol bullshit.
As a new WoW player (created my first char, a night elf hunter 2 days ago and completely addicted) what do you guys recommend? Should i wait for wow classic or get right into normal wow
