It just has a certain charm to it, people either get it, or they don't. So glad there are still plenty of players on Era. I started a new druid recently, got her to lvl35 so far. :)
Classic era is where it’s at ! Let me tell you, haven’t had this much fun playing wow again In YEARS! Just recently got back into classic and it’s been nothing but a joy
Good video, thanks. This really chimes with my experience on EU Pyrewood village. I just love this version of the game, the community is great and it's so enjoyable to play just for the sheer fun of it.
absolutely! No pressure to keep up with dailys or constant new gear and content. Its a great way to get to just enjoy the game :) I am glad you are having a good experience!
Hey y’all! I’m new from SoM and I’ve been absolutely loving Era! I’ve been playing both horde and alliance and it’s been easy to get in groups of all levels, GDKP or SR. Great community and folks. The best part is, you can stay logged off as long as you need and never be behind and there is literally always something new to learn while playing and ways to improve your character. 😊
It is alive and growing every day! I can’t wait for a fresh vanilla though too. Honestly, there’s something special about classic era though since it’s stuck in time, you can always work on your account no matter what, and there’s always plenty to do. On a sidenote I thought it was super cool that you and your brother play wow together. I wish mine did. Treasure that man.
Very good recap!! |m/ Also, few personal advices for people who wants to try out Era: • Don't listen to Reddit trolls and naysayers because they reached the point of denying the fact they even had a mother in the first place. • We don't need to convince you to play because you'd already be by yourself after you start. • Get out of your comfort zone, lvl up and quest until you are past the starting zone area (lvl 6) and you'll see with your own eyes how really are things.
Happy to help! So when Vanilla first went to TBC there was to option to pay to have your character on both Vanilla and TBC. If you did that then you still have your character on Classic Era. If you never made a choice or if you just went to TBC and didn’t pay for the cloning service unfortunately then those characters are now on the WOTLK servers and can’t be brought back to Era. It is worth putting in a ticket but to my knowledge the cloning service is no longer available. I wish they would bring it back. I hope this was helpful!
I've been playing WoW for years, like plenty of people. I was hyped for DF and was there for launch night. I will admit that retail is in a better spot then it has been in years. But the feel of the game just isn't for me anymore. I just started my own gaming channel, and wasn't sure what to play. I don't have the proper equipment to make truly quality videos. But WoW has been such a major part of my life, I wanted to somehow show why on my channel. After watching this video, I am convinced! I went to the launcher and quickly hit install on classic era. I thought I was going to do classic wrath, but this video... Idk man, but you convinced me. Plus, I'm going to do something I hardly ever did in my time on WoW, and join a pvp server. This looks up my alley, and looks like a way for me to enjoy WoW in a new way. Like you said, no progression, no getting rid of that hard fought for gear because a new xpac dropped and that piece of quest reward gear is better. I've realized my gaming habits have changed just recently, and this looks to hit a sweet spot! Thank you Morphious! You also have a new sub and that like button was smashed as well!
If only I could capture that sense of community and discovery in retail. I’ve had small spurts but it wasn’t real until classic. Like raids, they weren’t based on skill alone, it was a social experience. “Hey this mage is kinda a noob but he’s dobwards friend irl let’s invite him to the raid tonight just to fill the spot maybe he’ll be a main”
Vanilla for sure relies on community, especially when you have to organize 40 man raids and everyone has the pull their own weight. The game requires a lot of communication and initiative by players to be able to clear content :)
I've been playing Wotlk for a few months and I played it when it came out in its day, and I did remember it much more fun, maybe it is that I e changed, what I do have to say is that classic is insurmountable, sorry my bad english, very good video bro wotlk is 8/10 classic 10/10 masterpiece
Happy to hear its finally a good time to play classic again. When I played classic before classic TBC launched I got to level 49, had to stop of a couple months and a missed a free server transfer. I came back to a dead realm because of the transfer and Blizzard wouldn't do anything to help me.
I was on the Grobbulus sever when I unsubbed. Would I have to transfer to the Whitemane server to play with everyone, and would it cost me money to do so?
Good question, you should be able to server transfer to one of the big servers like Whitemane for free :) did you clone your character at some point during or after TBC released?
@@morphiousTV You bet I did. I have a full BIS hunter, I wasn't gonna let him be forgotten. Well, it sounds like a solid deal to me then. I've been really itching to get back into vanilla WoW. I'm resubbing then transferring to Whitmane.
Just depends what you want to do with it. If you like WOTLK and want to do arena or like to play new content and grind gear then go with that. If you really like the original game and prefer to cap 60 and stay at lvl 60 and do BGs and vanilla raids, world pvp etc then Classic Era may be better. I will say I personally think classic era has more longevity, it only continues to grow while WOTLK is slowly losing players and once they progress to Cataclysm it will lose a lot of players. Vanilla however will only grow. But currently there are a lot more players on WOTLK than Era. So just sort of depends what you want to do with your character. Best of luck!
@@morphiousTV I think vanilla could be a lot of fun and seems like there’s lots to do now if you get the right group of people with it being end patch. Moved my char to whitemane and considering leveling up again with some friends!
@@SonsueNA awesome man! I hope you have a good experience! I’d suggest looking for a leveling guild in LFG.

Thanks I appreciate the support and I think it’s awesome you got to do vanilla on the Nost private servers, super cool! Our economy is different and it used to be. Now a days lots of players trade items or items. And certain things that used to be very expensive are super cheap (black lotus) but some things (faps and potions) are super expensive.

@@morphiousTV To add to this, due to how WoW (Vanilla) economy works, I would say that there’s one profession that always makes money - Alchemy. The reason for this is simple: potions are a consumable resource that players always need. I’ve used it on countless pservers and in Classic to fund my “lazy” raiding and even pushed myself in Classic to use it to fund an Atiesh via gdkps. Just take notepad or some other note taking app, calculate out how much the herbs for a potion cost, and if it’s ~20% purchase enough to *not flood the market with that potion*. Rinse and repeat that strategy for every useful potion. Over time you’ll get a feel for turnover times (how long certain potions sit on the AH) and can therefore cut your margin closer (like 10%). Hope this helps!
Kept all my characters in ERA when BC Classic came out, but stopped playing. Thinking of returning for some casual play but $15 a month (and I use 2-3 accounts) stacks up. Wish they would do a $5 a month ERA only or something.
I totally agree. Asmongold was talking about how they should make Era free and I totally agree. Maybe make a fresh character and check it out on a Friday night and see how you like it? Or start by activating your main account. Whatever works best for you but it has been fun on Era :)
Hey:) I have a lvl 32 warrior there that i leveled during som. If I push to get max, can I have a spot in raids or everyones doing naxx and dont run mc, bwl and AQ? Thanks !!!
Solid question and yes totally! All the content is still being run, so you would be able to get into the starter raids like MC, BWL, ZG, AQ20 and you would gear up fast bc a lot of the gear gets passed on
I do feel like the Classic Era community is generally more happy about their experience and friendly towards each other which is great. More of a sense of community
stopped playing 1 month before tbc launched and didn't enter the game even once. is it still possible to get my char to era servers or it automatically progressed to other expansions?
I’m sorry to say but it is mostly likely that they automatically put your character in tbc and now WOTLK. Unfortunately you missed the window to save it to Era by a few months :/ I wish blizzard didn’t do that
I think a lot of players were hoping they would stop at TBC, but now that Blizz is pushing for classic Cata it is going to kill it. Glad the vanilla servers are alive though
Hey Classic Era! The Alliance needs you!! Grobbulus RPPvP Classic Era. We just finished BWL and starting up AQ40. We just need about 5 more bodies. We help leveling and provide gold for mounts. Tight-Knit Guild. Come join the nostalgia!
So far it has just been consistently growing for the past 6+ months. Leveling can be a pain though for sure. I am not much of a leveler and it would mostly be questing. Although there are leveling guilds out there which can make it more fun and go by faster. Just a thought!
I would suggest putting in a ticket, but most likely your character was automatically sent to TBC which is now WOTLK unfortunately. It's worth putting in a ticket though, would be very sad to lose a character with BiS gear
@@morphiousTV Yes i had r14 warrior with everything except Kiss of Spider and Gressil. I even had might of menethil and Corrupted ashbringer. So I would never start fresh from how much work I put in. And there was no gdkp items. I literally got r14 and waited to get gear till naxx which is why I got so much before tbc release.
@@thiskneegrow oh man! Yeah that is a sweet setup! I would suggest putting in a ticket, it’s worth trying. I hope it works out man :) PvP is a lot of fun on Era
@@morphiousTV I'll see what happens. I actually can't play because im in school but i would love vanilla. Don't like anything after except a few moments on tbc and wotlk but I didn't like how blizzard was handling the game. Those servers you are talking about sounds like home.
@@thiskneegrow I understand man, I am also a student and don't have much time to play which is why I like vanilla because once you get your BiS gear it stays BiS. There are no dailies are constant new content to keep up with. You can just log in, kick ass in BGs then log out :) I hope it works out man!
But what about leveling? Lower level dungeons and eliete quests? Farming bre bis? All of these activities require groups of other similiar level people interested in doing that content. I hate being carried but also hate not being able to find a group to do BRD, LBRS etc for items or even quests. Id love to come do Classic Era but these things are a massive concern to me and my time.
A very understandable concern and I am sure that at times it would be difficult to find groups for lower level dungeons. But the good news is there are some designated leveling guilds and I do see players from all levels. Recently there was an entire guild of level 30s running around and now they are all lvl 60, there was like 30 of them all the same level. But there are other guilds like that. Also the BiSed out players generally all have multiple alts that they level up quickly.
@@chris_mk5supra ah dang yeah you would of had to either clone your character or have chosen to keep them on era :/ but the good news is if you want to create new characters that option is still available. It would of been great if blizzard had just allowed everyone to have a copy of their character for free. That would of been more user friendly
i really think classic era is a lot of fun to play but i wish we could have a tbc version where classic era end game content could be escaled for level 70 that way we could get more options and freedom to build our character's, wotlk for me its just a big check list, you get your bis on your main then in your alts then u got bored no world building, no reason to explore, just sit down and wait for the next raid to come
It sucks that Blizzard offered the clone service for such a high price. I didn't buy it and now I regret that. I had a Level60 Undead Mage and another Level60 Undead rogue and I transfered them both over to TBC because the Classic servers were really dead at that time, then I never played TBC once. So now I've got two level60 characters I can't get access too and I just want to move them back to Classic ERA 😢😢😢. I'm back playing Classic on a fresh character but it would be nice if i could still clone my characters or bring them back.
It was very disappointing when they closed the cloning server. It would be greatly appreciated by the WoW community if they re-opened the cloning service
The challenging part to coming to play vanilla for the first time in years...is as you said, everyone's in BiS. So, say I level a rogue, I'm going to be really on my own for a long while. I like that you stated gear might come quickly in raids for a new person, but why would a guild carry a new person if everyone's so geared? The Ashkandi community seems a bit much for a new fella such as myself. lol.
This is a good question! There are levels of certain raids so if you are just starting you you would be in the earlier phase raids like MC, BWL and ZG. Those raids won’t necessarily be filled with full BiS players. It will be peoples alts and newer players. So you would be able to get into those no problem. You hear up quickly there and move up to later phase raids. Once you get the end content like Naxx sure now you are competing for spots against a full BiS players but they guys run it every week with multiple guilds. Stuff opens up, new players new spots all the time :)
Im playing whitemane. If you go through the effort of farming some pre raid, a ZG or AQ20 will take you. Geared players still need idols from ZG so its usually a mix.
@@morphiousTV I get it. As you said, you can log in and play Wpvp. You don't have to worry about whatever. But for a new player, this is a top-heavy gaming experience. I'll keep an eye down the road and see if they ever get enough interest in the game to do something new - even a new server experience. That would be a different story. As it is now, the grind is terrible, 99% solo questing in a world of twinked players. Hard pass for sure. Hopefully, the company eventually does something new in some sort of reset way. Until then, I do enjoy your vids. Fun to watch geared players go off on each other.
@@russelladams9147 I totally see where you are coming from and appreciate your perspective :) and I am glad you liked the videos. They did some fresh servers kind of with SoM which has now merged in with Era. ✌🏼
The Classic Era community plays Vanilla because it is the original game and doesn’t progress. Everything is all there, all the phases and you play it at your own pace. And it’s growing everyday :)
There is some ganking for sure, but there is also lots of counter ganker. I personally am I big fan of world PvP. It’s fun when you never know who you might run into and trying anyone horde you see with decent gear.
Wrath is where my classic journey ends... I do not think wrath is a great game. I played a priest for all of Classic wow and cloned it because I wanted to experience TBC. TBC is also a good expansion for different reasons, but wrath is just too much like retail IMO. So I quit wrath and started playing dragonflight. I was super sad when I logged on my priest and literally ZERO people were on my server, (grobbulus), but that was at the beginning of TBC so.. there is that. I was still sad because I really worked for my gear and I had a great rapport with my guild and had been there for every single first boss kill from Rag to Kel'thuzad. This video kind of gives me a little encouragement to log back on and take a look.
Wrath is also where my classic journey will end as well. To my knowledge Grob is actually the WOTLK server to be on! It is the only true 50/50 split horde/ally pvp server and is full so has a good population. Sorry you don’t like wrath, I actually have been enjoying it :) but Era will also be here for you if you are interested! Transfer should be free, come hangout on Whitemane!
@@evasion.6096 I agree that would of been good! To be honest Era is sort of somewhat lawless. The community sort of governs its self. But we don’t really see much GM action or have much oversight from blizzard at all. We sort of just do our own thing 😅 good and bad
There is a hardcore community but most of the players on Classic Era are playing on the regular servers like the Whitemane cluster (shown here) in which you can use the Auction House etc
@Morphious How is the PvE server? I might do PvP but I fear that there will be a lot of ganking out in the world specially by bored full naxx players lol I would rather avoid that tbh
@@helzing5114 yeah totally understandable, the PvE servers to my knowledge actually have more players. For NA the main PvE server is The Mankrik/Pagle cluster. I have heard good things about it :)
In the actual vanilla optimised gameplay wasn't a really a thing. We can't return to a naive past, the culture of players has changed significantly. Especially players playing vanilla who want new content and additions - why?
Vanilla best expansion
I agree
It just has a certain charm to it, people either get it, or they don't. So glad there are still plenty of players on Era. I started a new druid recently, got her to lvl35 so far. :)

Kept all my characters in ERA when BC Classic came out, but stopped playing. Thinking of returning for some casual play but $15 a month (and I use 2-3 accounts) stacks up. Wish they would do a $5 a month ERA only or something.
I totally agree. Asmongold was talking about how they should make Era free and I totally agree. Maybe make a fresh character and check it out on a Friday night and see how you like it? Or start by activating your main account. Whatever works best for you but it has been fun on Era :)
Hey:) I have a lvl 32 warrior there that i leveled during som. If I push to get max, can I have a spot in raids or everyones doing naxx and dont run mc, bwl and AQ? Thanks !!!
Solid question and yes totally! All the content is still being run, so you would be able to get into the starter raids like MC, BWL, ZG, AQ20 and you would gear up fast bc a lot of the gear gets passed on
Thanks man!! "Bougey" orc warrior on whitemane, Ill come gank you (with respect)♥️
@@nicolasbougie3553 not if I get you first ✌🏼
I'm keen for classic era
so many haters playing wow retail and wow classic. WoW classic is where no haters are at, the only non toxic population in WoW period.
hey Keen!
I do feel like the Classic Era community is generally more happy about their experience and friendly towards each other which is great. More of a sense of community
Can you still rank and gear up?
Yes, players are ranking in PvP and there is a new Grand Marshal/High Warlord every week
Man classic wow is so fucking good. I'm playing again with mi boyfriend and is amazing, so fun.
That’s awesome! I’m glad you are enjoying it :)
What’s the server balance? Horde Vs Ally?
honestly both horde and alliance are super populated right now, it seems pretty equally balanced
stopped playing 1 month before tbc launched and didn't enter the game even once. is it still possible to get my char to era servers or it automatically progressed to other expansions?
I’m sorry to say but it is mostly likely that they automatically put your character in tbc and now WOTLK. Unfortunately you missed the window to save it to Era by a few months :/ I wish blizzard didn’t do that
@@morphiousTV well shit. thanks for quick response tho
@@InCurs1on oh course! I’m sorry :( blizz is boo boo a lot of the times. But these servers will be here if you ever want to start a new character
I wish there would be classic, tbc and wotlk servers, but I guess not enough players. I prefer tbc
I think a lot of players were hoping they would stop at TBC, but now that Blizz is pushing for classic Cata it is going to kill it. Glad the vanilla servers are alive though
Morphious the classic king 🤴

@thanos x more like the frog waiting to be turned back into a prince 🫅 💅🏼
@thanos x you eat farts bud
awesome video, thanks! btw, im getting bored of wotlk and miss vanilla. so i think you're right about the eb and flow...vanilla is eternal!
Glad you liked it! Yeah come check it out, its been a lot of fun
bis content, ty
:)
Current Era servers are the most fun I've had in WoW since Nostalrius
Love to hear it :)
Hey Classic Era! The Alliance needs you!!
Grobbulus RPPvP Classic Era.
We just finished BWL and starting up AQ40. We just need about 5 more bodies. We help leveling and provide gold for mounts. Tight-Knit Guild. Come join the nostalgia!
Bump ^
I really, really want to go back to era but levelling takes so long, it could all be dead by the time I even get to 60
So far it has just been consistently growing for the past 6+ months. Leveling can be a pain though for sure. I am not much of a leveler and it would mostly be questing. Although there are leveling guilds out there which can make it more fun and go by faster. Just a thought!
I havent logged in since before TBC dropped. Tell blizzard to let people clone their characters again cus i had bis characters I want to play.
I would suggest putting in a ticket, but most likely your character was automatically sent to TBC which is now WOTLK unfortunately. It's worth putting in a ticket though, would be very sad to lose a character with BiS gear
@@morphiousTV Yes i had r14 warrior with everything except Kiss of Spider and Gressil. I even had might of menethil and Corrupted ashbringer. So I would never start fresh from how much work I put in. And there was no gdkp items. I literally got r14 and waited to get gear till naxx which is why I got so much before tbc release.
@@thiskneegrow oh man! Yeah that is a sweet setup! I would suggest putting in a ticket, it’s worth trying. I hope it works out man :) PvP is a lot of fun on Era
@@morphiousTV I'll see what happens. I actually can't play because im in school but i would love vanilla. Don't like anything after except a few moments on tbc and wotlk but I didn't like how blizzard was handling the game. Those servers you are talking about sounds like home.
@@thiskneegrow I understand man, I am also a student and don't have much time to play which is why I like vanilla because once you get your BiS gear it stays BiS. There are no dailies are constant new content to keep up with. You can just log in, kick ass in BGs then log out :) I hope it works out man!
Vanilla forever!
100%
But what about leveling? Lower level dungeons and eliete quests? Farming bre bis? All of these activities require groups of other similiar level people interested in doing that content. I hate being carried but also hate not being able to find a group to do BRD, LBRS etc for items or even quests. Id love to come do Classic Era but these things are a massive concern to me and my time.
A very understandable concern and I am sure that at times it would be difficult to find groups for lower level dungeons. But the good news is there are some designated leveling guilds and I do see players from all levels. Recently there was an entire guild of level 30s running around and now they are all lvl 60, there was like 30 of them all the same level. But there are other guilds like that. Also the BiSed out players generally all have multiple alts that they level up quickly.
you c'ant get your old character? i logged in but c'ant see my old one
Oh man I’m sorry to hear that! Did you ever clone your character before moving onto TBC classic?
@@morphiousTV na, didnt, to bad :( didnt because the server was empty :(
@@chris_mk5supra ah dang yeah you would of had to either clone your character or have chosen to keep them on era :/ but the good news is if you want to create new characters that option is still available. It would of been great if blizzard had just allowed everyone to have a copy of their character for free. That would of been more user friendly
People are leveling new toons in Classic Era all the time. It sucks to start over, but it's doable.
@@mookie7688 ^^ agreed
i really think classic era is a lot of fun to play but i wish we could have a tbc version where classic era end game content could be escaled for level 70 that way we could get more options and freedom to build our character's, wotlk for me its just a big check list, you get your bis on your main then in your alts then u got bored no world building, no reason to explore, just sit down and wait for the next raid to come
Era for sure has a lot of world exploring and things to be able to keep doing once maxed, it’s been fun
It sucks that Blizzard offered the clone service for such a high price. I didn't buy it and now I regret that. I had a Level60 Undead Mage and another Level60 Undead rogue and I transfered them both over to TBC because the Classic servers were really dead at that time, then I never played TBC once. So now I've got two level60 characters I can't get access too and I just want to move them back to Classic ERA 😢😢😢. I'm back playing Classic on a fresh character but it would be nice if i could still clone my characters or bring them back.
It was very disappointing when they closed the cloning server. It would be greatly appreciated by the WoW community if they re-opened the cloning service
The challenging part to coming to play vanilla for the first time in years...is as you said, everyone's in BiS. So, say I level a rogue, I'm going to be really on my own for a long while. I like that you stated gear might come quickly in raids for a new person, but why would a guild carry a new person if everyone's so geared? The Ashkandi community seems a bit much for a new fella such as myself. lol.
This is a good question! There are levels of certain raids so if you are just starting you you would be in the earlier phase raids like MC, BWL and ZG. Those raids won’t necessarily be filled with full BiS players. It will be peoples alts and newer players. So you would be able to get into those no problem. You hear up quickly there and move up to later phase raids. Once you get the end content like Naxx sure now you are competing for spots against a full BiS players but they guys run it every week with multiple guilds. Stuff opens up, new players new spots all the time :)
Im playing whitemane. If you go through the effort of farming some pre raid, a ZG or AQ20 will take you. Geared players still need idols from ZG so its usually a mix.
@@Flightlord978 ^^
@@morphiousTV I get it. As you said, you can log in and play Wpvp. You don't have to worry about whatever. But for a new player, this is a top-heavy gaming experience. I'll keep an eye down the road and see if they ever get enough interest in the game to do something new - even a new server experience. That would be a different story. As it is now, the grind is terrible, 99% solo questing in a world of twinked players. Hard pass for sure. Hopefully, the company eventually does something new in some sort of reset way. Until then, I do enjoy your vids. Fun to watch geared players go off on each other.
@@russelladams9147 I totally see where you are coming from and appreciate your perspective :) and I am glad you liked the videos. They did some fresh servers kind of with SoM which has now merged in with Era. ✌🏼
Folks, if this video dosen't convince you to play Era, I don't know what will. Your loss!
It's been a lot of fun and hopefully they see that :)
I totally forgot they merged servers.
They did yes and it has helped to combine the era community
I will only play Classic if it’s going to be actively developed. So far, it’s just in slow death in that regard.
The Classic Era community plays Vanilla because it is the original game and doesn’t progress. Everything is all there, all the phases and you play it at your own pace. And it’s growing everyday :)
Imo, I have to say that the best PVP, OW, in classic was on PVE, realms, because always PVP means ganking .
Flagging yourself is a sign of big balls.
There is some ganking for sure, but there is also lots of counter ganker. I personally am I big fan of world PvP. It’s fun when you never know who you might run into and trying anyone horde you see with decent gear.
@Morphious what I meant was its more fun to flag PVP on a PVE realm.
So much cross faction cooperation... you misspelled collusion :)
😂
Wrath is where my classic journey ends... I do not think wrath is a great game. I played a priest for all of Classic wow and cloned it because I wanted to experience TBC. TBC is also a good expansion for different reasons, but wrath is just too much like retail IMO. So I quit wrath and started playing dragonflight. I was super sad when I logged on my priest and literally ZERO people were on my server, (grobbulus), but that was at the beginning of TBC so.. there is that. I was still sad because I really worked for my gear and I had a great rapport with my guild and had been there for every single first boss kill from Rag to Kel'thuzad. This video kind of gives me a little encouragement to log back on and take a look.
I also finished all of TBC. TBC is a great expansion.
Wrath is also where my classic journey will end as well. To my knowledge Grob is actually the WOTLK server to be on! It is the only true 50/50 split horde/ally pvp server and is full so has a good population. Sorry you don’t like wrath, I actually have been enjoying it :) but Era will also be here for you if you are interested! Transfer should be free, come hangout on Whitemane!
You should! I had basically the same experience. I went back to Classic Era last year and haven't looked back.
@@mookie7688 hell yeah!
Isn't gdkp and mage boosting still a thing on these servers? Massive turnoff
There are some GDKPs on Whitemane but the majority of raids are SR guild runs. I don’t really ever hear anything about mage boosts.
@@morphiousTV ahh cool, TBF blizz should have added the SOM anti boost changes into the classic era servers
@@evasion.6096 I agree that would of been good! To be honest Era is sort of somewhat lawless. The community sort of governs its self. But we don’t really see much GM action or have much oversight from blizzard at all. We sort of just do our own thing 😅 good and bad
Come on pyrewood pve EU! We are a lot of playerrr
Glad to hear Pyrewood is doing well :)
Glad to see streamer talking about my biggest passion since 2005
@@matteoceccherini7810 it’s a classic :)
a lot of ppl coming back to classic are HC which I understand but I personally like using the AH and playing the way I want
There is a hardcore community but most of the players on Classic Era are playing on the regular servers like the Whitemane cluster (shown here) in which you can use the Auction House etc
@Morphious How is the PvE server? I might do PvP but I fear that there will be a lot of ganking out in the world specially by bored full naxx players lol I would rather avoid that tbh
@@helzing5114 yeah totally understandable, the PvE servers to my knowledge actually have more players. For NA the main PvE server is The Mankrik/Pagle cluster. I have heard good things about it :)
In the actual vanilla optimised gameplay wasn't a really a thing. We can't return to a naive past, the culture of players has changed significantly. Especially players playing vanilla who want new content and additions - why?
It’s fun and nostalgic, optimization isn’t everything
just reroll on serv era pvp.... amazing game ! better exp than LK.... too much gbid and trash players... too boring !
I prefer Era as well
This video has a lot of misinformation
How so? Can you be specific?
Casual andy
I rather play this game casually and enjoy it, opposed to giving my life to it
