Man, every once in awhile I think about how much fun I had playing Vanilla and BC. Hell the most fun I had was turning the zombie plague, where the world actually turned Dynamic as zombie and untainted players battled it out.

Then the fuckers had to complain about being unable to finish their fucking daily quests and ruined it all.

Does a chest still get put in gurubashi arena every 3 hours?

I went there at like 4 minutes after 3 the other day and there was nothing but a super easy quest to fight 2 "champions". But i thought maybe someone could have ninjad it in those 4 minutes.

Would you guys play an official progession legacy server or something with Naxx already released?

Would you want a static legacy no changes to mechanics, new dungeons etc?
Or go OSRS route where dungeons and new raids are added?
>>
>>381684750
A legacy server with new raids, dungeons and maybe even zones would be great, but I don't trust modern Blizzard with fucking everything up and turning it into nu-WoW.

The only way they could get away with new content in a legacy server is if they didn't change the core gameplay or mechanics at all, so all we'd be getting is new content but the same gameplay.

Everything about Cata was shit. Tol Barad was equally depressing. The backstory behind it was that some evil shadow or some shit ravaged it's interior and killed off all the dwarves within, overtaking the city. Then we get fucking dragons with a dragon rollercoaster with dragons.

My dream would be a progression server, similar to some of what soe/daybreak has done with EQ (they've experimented with different progression methods) that eventually went into new content.
My dream within a dream related to that would be progression vanilla then new stuff, or vanilla->tbc then new stuff. I'd even be ok with going up to wrath. It really doesn't matter tho as none of those things are going to happen.
I could see official legacy servers happening eventually (possibly sooner than we think) as sub are so low right now, I'd also anticipate it being tied into some sort of package with a new xpac release. But I don't see anything that would justify them actually going back and re-tuning or adding new vanilla style content after naxx even tho that would be fun as fuck.

I feel like it's a given at some point but also a given that it would be done with least effort required.

Private servers are generally okay. They tend to have a lot of rough edges (occasional broken quests, etc), but the core game is generally functional. 99% of them collapse under their own weight within 6 months, or get too big for their own good and Blizzard shuts them down.

I'd say it's worth it to at least give private servers a shot though if you have never experienced Vanilla. It was a wild ride.

I'd definitely play a progressive Vanilla server, especially if they went into BC after. BC is the expansion I really miss and there are exactly zero BC private servers that are coded decently.

Frankly I wouldn't mind too much if they kept making new dungeon/raid content after Naxx but as >>381685050 said, theres an extremely slim chance ActiBlizz could shit out anything decent nowadays.

Did you guys not understand how to use the ah? Or have a group to run dungeons with?

I had enough gold for a mount at 40. It took everything down to my last silver but I did it. My friends and I made a point to have enough so that we could queue for a bg at 39, level up, train skills, and buy our mounts before the bg popped so we could ride around as 40s in a 39 bg. One of my best memories of WoW.

You didn't play when the game was new.
On my realm, ONE person had a confirmed mount for like two weeks before the second person got one. That first guy was an UD Warrior that sat in Org on that mount for hours just showing off.

When the game was young and they were adding new servers constantly, I always leapt to roll on a new realm and nobody ever got their mount quickly. Many people made 60 before getting their normal mount.

Because EVERYONE was saving for their mounts. There were no buyers on the market. Everyone was trying to sell so they could save up enough for their mounts. Only after some top-end guilds had their shit sorted did they start accumulating tons of gold from their dungeon runs and begin playing the market.

vanilla private servers are meh. generally functional but plagued by a gorillion of different issues.

>TBC
tbc private servers barely exist, and the few ones that do exist are mostly garbage. i played on one in 2016, and it died shortly after my guild cleared the first raid tier. server was highly unstable, tons of broken shit and bugs in raids and dungeons that made playing very annoying.

wrath private servers are really high quality. i can recommend dalaran-wow, played there for a few months last year after the TBC server died. really well coded overall, pretty much everything is like it was back in the day on blizzard servers. i cleared the first three raid tiers there, had very much fun in ulduar especially. quit because the people i played with quit and i wasnt really interested in the then-current raid (trial of the crusader) anyway.


>any post-wrath addon
don't even bother. nu-WoW isn't worth playing.

I leveled some of my alts on pvp servers in TBC and wrath after discovering them and had a pretty good time, I just wish I had known in time. By TBC I had two 60s on the pve server and another alt halfway there, and leveling was a daunting task in 2006 for a high school junior.

I styled on both of ya'll.
I played the rare Destrolock Tailor.

Between Seduce, Netherweave Net, and Fear juggling, I got to freecast Incinerates and SBs all day. It pissed off melee stun specs so bad because they couldn't actually land any hits to trigger their RNG stuns.

I'd macro seduce them, run to midrange, nuke em down while netting them, counting my DR CD in my head, then Shadowfury into another Seduce after Immolate fell off, or Fear/Death Coil.

The spec was seriously underrated and wholly superior to SL/SL imo.

Forgot to mention, the VWer talents and resummoning were for Sacrifice. While questing or if you were expecting to fight a Rogue, you could Sac your Void even while stunned, negating ALL of his opening damage, then instantly resummon a second VWer to Sac or a Succy to Seduce with. Usually went with the VWer and used DC+Fear+Shadowfury to blow the fuckers up. Because they'd usually Vanish or Blind and try to reset anyhow. Might as well have a VWer ready to soak the next opener.

This should go without saying, but if anyone here is considering private servers and playing vanilla:
Do not, I repeat, do NOT play in the /vg/ vanilla WoW guild. You're welcome to go to their general on /vg/ and discover it for yourself, but you'd be doing yourself a huge disservice by not taking this advice.

If you're underage you may love it. If you're over the age of say, 19ish, it would be a huge mistake.

I tried something similar for a while but ended up sticking with SL/SL because I found it much more reliable. Destronet worked fantastically against melee, but since I tended to play with one or two friends I didn't need that.

I fully embraced destruction in Wrath though, along with both tailoring and engineering for those nets and bombs and gadgets. Most fun I had as a warlock.

Yeah, Destro took a lot more work and was subject to a lot more error than SL/SL, and with a blocker or a healer SL/SL was likely stronger, but for running solo, the only spec I could consistently 1v1 EVERYONE with was Destro.

And oddly, because I was so used to Destro, I had much better luck in Arena as Destro. SL/SL seemed better to me on paper but I missed all the control and playmaking potential. Switching to Destro again, sometimes I could 2v1 in the match if my partner(s) went down. Many times, my healer got focused down and the enemy team got hyper-aggressive looking to finish my team off and that just left them vulnerable to being exploded.

Warlocks actually needed that free mount. We paid more than any other class in the game per level up, because we had a shitton of spells to upgrade and each and every demon had spells to upgrade. Even economizing and buying only the absolutely necessary upgrades (if you were lucky enough to know what those were) would leave you far too poor to buy a mount. Warlock was THE most expensive class, aside from perhaps warriors simply because they died a lot during leveling and had to pay mail/plate repairs.

Several times, with answers varying between "you think you do but you don't" to "we don't have the original source code anymore lawl".
The real reason is they don't want to create artificial competition for retail WoW I guess. Nobody would play Legion if they could be playing on a high quality official legacy progression server, and that would hurt the fee-fees of the nu-Blizzard dev team.

Yeah but it is not worth it really, I only had fun because I was playing solo. I played a ret pala on a wotlk server because I remember hating them on retail wotlk. I got the best pvp gear and just ganked people and raped people in bgs.

Yes. You really had to pick and choose what you wanted, even as a tailor/enchanter I was constantly running out of gold just from updating my main spells and the super important ones for my main demons.

And then my friend found the pattern for beastslaying +2, and I made a small fortune selling that red glowing weapon enchant. It was a simpler time, when all folks wanted was a glowing sword. Fiery, crusader, lifestealing, spellpower, beastslaying, striking, agility, and Icy enchants sold almost as much for appearances as they did for effects.

Northrend, if you are in a WoTLK server, is guilty of this, since the quest became more and more complex there.
The leveling experience will be extremely empty. I'm in one of the first francophone servers in WoTLK (who are more populated than Vanilla), and there are like 5 or 10 people between level 1 and 25 connected at any given time ; around 400 connected in general at any given time.
There is no going back. Don't be sad because it"s over : be happy because it happened.

Probably, if I remember correctly there was argent dawn npcs that removed the buffs and priests and paladins could spam an ability that remove it.

But as the event went on the shorter the timer was on the debuff, it went from 10 mins at the start to a minute until you became a zombie so if you were not quick enough it happened.

But the main grief of the zombie event was that npcs were affected including quest npcs, guards, bankers and worst of all the auction people.
So major cities could be brought to a standstill by one or two people.

Still people were just bitches, Orgrimmar, Stormwind and the crossroads were the only places truly unplayable.
Any non faggot bitch just spent the week in Ironforge or Thunder Bluff.

Those are pretty much the same reason I avoid private servers too. I don't want to play something like Vanilla WoW which is based around communication and get stuck with nothing but people who don't speak English.

The reason Vashjir didnt work for alot of people is because of the narrow FOV. Up on the surface, you don't need to look up and down, you see quite alot around your character and there is no seaweed around which you have to navigate your camera. What is enough for flat ground surface just isn't good enough for navigating in a 3D plane without looking around all the time.

They focused all their effort on raids and ignored the rest of the game. Then they massively cut down on skills/ability versatility, making all classes in a roll play similar, then they started insane timegates for maximum Jew. All this wile piling up lore that hardly makes sense.

That's not to say it's impossible for a warlock to defend themselves against or kill a rogue, but rogues are a hard counter to the class and the vast majority of warlocks are gonna be fucked if whatever just made a stealth sound has daggers and knows what they're doing.

That's no excuse for lacking variety though. I think Suramar city is the only thing in the entire area that stands out, otherwise everything looks like more of the same like >>381719842 said.
I'm starting to think they should've included more islands into the expansion instead of just the broken isles.

I'm not going to go over the often repeated and very obvious issues with the xpac (and that's ignoring the ongoing issues that have gotten worse since cata anyhow) but the 100-110 leveling is solid and pretty fun the first time. And even with the pruning, some specs are fun.

That would unfortunately be the end of any nice opinions about the xpac, but I wish you luck, anon. As with any online game (especially mmorpgs) it's funner with friends playing with you, so if you haven't you should think about finding a cool guild to chill with.

I'm with the same guild I played with back in Vanilla, which a close friend of mine is in as well.

I think the new raids are pretty decent, and I like pushing higher on Mythic+, at least for now.

Managed to get quite a few characters up to 110 too, after basically not playing since WotLK, and back then I only had one max level character.

I've been playing private servers with /v/ and /vg/ off and on for a long time, the current /vg/ guild on elysium is by far the most purely cancerous that I've experienced. And generally I can tolerate a fucking shitload of rampaging autism.
I'd classify their autism as the very non-fun kind, the grossest cringiest type. It's unfortunate and I'm not sure how that even happened. I've played with literal furries who were less obnoxious to deal with.
>>
>>381727605
There's been some improvements but no, it's busted.
If you're playing for pvp then you're kind of SOL. The rated pvp is at the worst place it's been since tbc as far as amount of people even participating, and possibly the worst it's been ever. Just purely no-fun and places like arenajunkies that weren't even dead during WoD are a ghost town now. There are more active posters in a thread regarding private server pvp than for legion.

As far as world pvp, it's mostly just ganks and hysterically imbalanced (and i'm not a muh balance fag). Also not a lot of it except in certain places. Unkillable tanks would be something you'd see a lot.
Wpvp while leveling is still semi-fun but even then it's going to be heirlooms vs heirlooms and you won't see a lot of people anyhow.

I know I sound negative, sorry.

What shit do they have besides naga?
or their newer void garbage stuff.

Just going off of subs (census addons have it around 1.5m EU/US and that's characters, not accounts) its getting close to maintenance mode for them. Nu-blizz seems content with shitting out an xpac for big box sales and time-gating anyone who doesn't leave after the initial month. Which is good money still of course, but things are at the "winding down" stage regardless of what ultrafans will argue.

It's actually one of my least favorite areas in TBC if only because it's practically mandatory to go through, especially since a certain quest chain have Totems/Librams/Idols, and unless you got lucky with BRD, you probably don't have one yet.

Not to mention that one blue trinket you got from killing that massive dreadguard.

How big is argus?
Maybe i'm retarded, I'd honestly have to look shit it up to know how that would work in "real life" so I'm dumb, but that seems like it would be a (cataclysm) for azeroth to have another planet so close to it suddenly.

>>381738394
Of course it would, and argus has an unending army of demons which is now 5 minutes away from completely destroying azeroth by just raining some infernals into every major city constantly, no need for portals.

But it's clear blizz just doesn't gives a single fuck and want to close it out whatever it takes

One of my gay fantasies would be that it has some devastating implications requiring the time travel dragons (whoever they are, i forget) to time travel the gaywad heroes back, essentially resulting in a WoW 2. But I know how dorky that sounds.
>>381738601
Weird. I mean, I know it's fantasy and I know we don't need it to follow strict rules or anything, but that seems like such an obvious stupid thing. But whatever.

>time travel dragons
holy fucknig shit. This is blizzard's secret weapon. This is how they will shoehorn progressive legacy servers. Argus fucks up everything so you have to go back in time to vanilla. The only real changes would be specific time travel dragon quests dotted around in order to make everything appear consistent.
>>
>>381739771
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, but I hadn't stopped to conjecture how exactly it would work. It kind of makes too much sense which means it would never happen, and there's also the fact that a big part of the appeal of legacy to a lot of folks is the gameplay - if they got too fancy and it was anything other than literally the old game but looking nicer I could see it getting a lot of hate. I could be totally wrong as I'm a doofus.
It's a really fun idea tho, and COULD (big maybe) sort of fit with how they've been re-arranging people working there on different secret projects, plus how they've been remastering older titles. Still not anything past rumors and theories, tho.
>holinka re-assigned to different secret blizzard project
>it's legacy
I'd be so happy yet so upset.
>>
>>381684750

I'd kill for a legacy server but with xmog/barbershop bullshit.

It's the only thing keeping me away from private servers. I hated looking like a dumpster fire until full tier, then looking like a clown in between having full next-tier.
>>
>>381740426
I like xmog too but I feel like a big part of pre-xmog was being able to know certain things about the person running at you based on their gear.
Xmog is a lot of fun and by the time xmog was introduced that kind of thing wasn't really a big deal anyhow, I guess, but i'm not sure how well it would fit on a progression vanilla server.
Barbershop seems like a "sure who cares" but i imagine some purist autists would violently disagree.
It gets into kind of a grey area as keeping literally everything 100% authentic means bugs and all. Seal twisting would be an example of this where it worked (probably doesn't on private servers, i could be wrong) but was never their intention for it to be a thing. More on accident.
Not that ret dps matters in vanilla anyhow, but just saying.

Personally I'd totally be for a legacy server with just "more" to it, including more customization options that weren't xmog, but it is a fine line and I'd gamble everything on ultimately being disappointed anyhow.

Reminds me of all the trips I would take there to buy food recipes from the vendors for around 2-10 silver then sell them at the auction house in stormwind for 5 gold. It went well till some other users began oversaturating the market with the same items.

That was the best part honestly. exploring the world and knowing that you can run into somebody literally anywhere because the servers were full of people who actually enjoyed playing. The whole buffs thing was really how i met A LOT of friends I still talk to like 10 years later.

You could stop and talk to a player and ask them if they had extra this or that. and maybe make a friend and level through a zone with a perfect stranger.

As funny as their videos are, they really overplayed how OP rogues and warriors were in vanilla.

Except warlocks were terrible. And Rogues were for a period OP. And warriors had ridiculous scaling in vanilla so that also made sense.

you know out of everything everyone complains about now, the one thing I miss the most was how the quests needed to be read in order to find out where to go. No tracker shittery, just finding your own way. Sometimes you needed to ask for help, and you know what? People would actually walk you to the farm for the pig. Then you would see someone asking the same thing later, and you would walk them to there. There just isn't any of that and not even private servers can bring it back.

>>381744570
if you want to recapture that feeling you need to play a private server, but under no circumstances play with /vg/. it's a clique for a small group of attention whores, if you are not in the group you will not progress in any meaningful way and if even one of them decides to hate you they will get rid of you.

Is it good? I was kinda interested in nostalrius a few years ago but it got shut down, never heard of Elysium before.

I used to play on some private servers back during like early/mid wrath. I remember them being extremely glitchy and would crash all the time. Also people were fucking script kiddies and would fly around and noclip through the environment to gank people.
>>
>>381745279
Nah servers are a lot higher quality and more focused on emulating and preserving the games how they were these days. If you loved vanilla you'll have a good time. The internet has changed so much since 2004-2006 so the community has changed a lot but its still a really good experience.

Yeah, I broke my leg when I was 12 (currently 23) and I picked up WoW a month before BC came out. I used to play it for like, 14 hours a day. I'm so used to having addons and such. Does Elysium have the ability to utilize addons?

>>381745592
Of course man
>>
>>381745643
thanks, gonna give it a shot tonight
>>
>>381745592
most addons are client side and have nothing to do with the server, just make sure you aren't installing texture mods or anything that could be considered cheating like speedhax

Goldshire to Duskwood to Stranglethorn was probably my favorite zone progression pre-cata. Shit was cash. Comfy farming and taking down the Defias Brotherhood. Spoopy Duskwood and Stitches questline. Voodoo trolls and dicking around in Booty Bay.

This can't be overstated. I fell for it too.
I wasn't driven out or hated, but it's like playing in a guild of teenagers. I suspect a good chunk of them, if not the majority, really are in their teens.
That isn't always bad in general, it is just playing vidya after all. But it's a nonstop competition to be more obnoxious than the next person, and with their discord they mainly use the /vg/ general as a dumping ground to act cunty to other guildmembers anonymously, false flag, etc. It's all really annoying if you just want to play WoW with friends.

Elysium is pretty good, all things considered, but joining the /vg/ guild is kind of a bad idea unless that's the type of thing you're into.
>>
>>381745218
they're fun to level with but the minute you hit max level you need to drop them 100% of the time, every single /vg/ guild is just filled with shitters and people who put no effort in and expect a free ride. Then they all form cliques and create dumb drama with each other. Not worth playing seriously with but fun to shitpost in gchat with while grinding levels.
>>
>>381687597
>Are private servers worth it?
God yes.

If you wanna try out Vanilla check out Elysium. There's about 5-8k people online at all times and works like a charm.

For TBC there is Warmane which i havent played myself but heard good things about.

The people who think that private servers are buggy havent played one recently. They work pretty much flawlessly these days.

Do not listen to your other responses, they dont know what the fuck they are talking about.
>>
>>381746684
Don't fucking play Warmane. They have a cash shop that sells gear and it has increased levelling rates which is detrimental to the server economy aswell as the attitudes of players on the server. There's also the issue of the queue being faked which is certainly a high possibility but is not 100% proven.
>>
>>381746684
I still find it funny as fuck that private servers running hackjob serverside code since no one in the world has that shit anymore somehow can support more players then live WOW servers without instancing everyone to fuck and back.

Me too, hanging outside on the fence with the 3 other regulars, no one went inside except for the quests, occasionally a party would come along and RP inside, then it became more and more degenerate over time.
