Why can't I get over vanilla wow

Because vanilla represents the pure, true love you've never had and, may never have

It wasn't hell at all. I enjoyed every second of it from launch until vanilla. When nostalrius launched I was relieved to find out it wasn't nostalgia and it actually was still the pinnacle of multiplayer gaming. Now it's all gone forever

Because nothing will ever beat that magic of seeing the world for the first time, and realising that the starting area you first thought was a huge massive map was just a piece in a collossal jigsaw, and because vanilla wow was one huge step in the mmorpg franchise that took everything good about that genre and handed it an sweet tab. It was like starting life all over again and never decaying, only improving. That magic is not regranted upon the entrance of an expansion, because it is not a new game, it is an expansion. If you're like me, you fear decay and you fear change, but you love discovery. I played through since 2004, and stopped before legion, that was enough, i had done enough, and had to leave that world for my real one.

nigga ever heard of Elysium? Server pop is well over 7000 during prime time, and thats not counting the other severs as well. Also, if you had a character on Nostalguis you can get it transferred to Elysium

I don't want to make progress and then lose it again. I also hear the people who run it are very corrupt and the population is declining.

Cataclysm was the pinnacle for non autists. The only people who enjoy vanilla are the people who enjoy grinding for 5 months to max.
