"Raids were designed to be 60 man" How in hell did they think that was "casual" ?!?! This is what im talking about. Back in 2000 the players were smart enough that the industry guys considered THIS (skill system + 60 man raids) to be MORE CASUAL! The game industry didnt think of every gamer as a bumbling fucking idiot needing to be handheld through everything, they actually presented a challenge! which translated to an ACTUALLY SATISFYING ACHIEVEMENT when you accomplished something. It is so sad to see the way the game industry has baby-proofed its content. Even Dark Souls looks like a game of checkers compared to what it might have been ......

Sounds like you've only ever played shitty games besides Would of Wouklaft

TES IV: Oblivion. If I could wipe all my gaming memory and start again, I'd play Oblivion and WoW again in an instant. Being a complete fucking noob at these games was almost as good as sex..or maybe even better actually

It was basically drugs I spent my teens there. I had to pull away to do life stuff, but one day I will return to retire lewl.

@Fonzie resilience was not even a thing in classic wow, so many changes.

@Gaming Addiction Yes, some of us will go back to classic and we will enjoy it. Not all of us enjoy the new streamlined anti social game that WoW has become where you just stand in one spot and wait for a queue to pop. We want the world back where you actually had to travel, meet people, talk to people and all the random encounters that you remember for years on happen... I still remember a ton of encounters out in the world from the classic days. The world was more like a real world where you recognized people of both factions instead of the horrible cross-realm/instancing stuff they have now, you made friends and enemies and your social interactions had meaning and consequences. The world had less content in general, but WAY more content was being used than today. Ofcourse some people, maybe even most, will quit in a few weeks due to lack of patience and they are probably more suited to the instant gratifications that modern WoW offers rather than really fighting for meaningful rewards and that's ok. Classic WoW is not for everyone, it is for the peope that want the WORLD in World of Warcraft back!

I feel you. I love vanilla Wow so much even though I started my Wow experience in 2008 playing TBC then WotLK. It's like a fucking hiraeth.

Thats why the game in 2021 will never be as good and the "community" is constantly bitching. In 2004 players were collecting knowledge as they played the game In 2021 players go into the game already possessing the knowledge.. And if they don't know something they can google it and find it out in under 30 seconds.

Wow, you just mentioned something that triggered my memory. Altough I didn't play beta, I still can relate. Back then it was a huge burden when you had the crown in 5mans (leader). Because who ever had it, would decide in which direction of the labyrinth to go and how to deal with packs and bosses. I remember questions like "Does anyone know, where the entrance is?", "Does anyone know the way?". And when there was a someone who would have a bit of knowledge of the dungeon, this person would be a hero and lead would be automatically passed to him. I also remember when lead would just get passed around, because everyone was too scared to keep it, due to the big burden it carried with it, haha. I was playing a lot, so I would have a lot of knowledge and people treated me very nice and it made me so proud and feel special. But I never had enough conficence to lead an actual raid. This was too much and stressful for me. Guild leaders would be mostly people from the military or with some responsibility in the job in their real life. Man, those were the times.

@@alexha3667 meanwhile as a kid i made a guild with friends, the serious raiders hated us but half the server was in my guild and after i quit and came back i was blown up with whispers of people wanting me to remake the guild because we all just had fun messing around not knowing anything

The towns did have more buildings, they had clusters of trainers and vendors in each building. They cut the buildings to save room since they wanted to make the game as accessible as possible on computers since it was all so limited hardware wise. As for the armor, yeah. They created a ton of the early human NPCs with built-in armor to fill out the game before they nailed down their armor system. IIRC your player model would stay a specific preset look until you got so many armor pieces, then it would swap to another 'tier' of a model, which was just another built-in armor skin. I get what they were going for but I'm glad they phased that out early on because it would be a nightmare for pre-built models for every armor type for every race.

No an mmo. An rpg has much more of a narrative, much better story presentation. The old map was basically a WC3 custom map that you did menial quests for with only a bit of story. So like an mmo.

@@maybeitsyou1317 You realize that mmo is short for mmoRPG, right? You can't have a single player mmo, since mmo literally stands for massivley MULTIPLAYER online (roleplaying game). The level of story presentation and narrative is irrelevant. Both mmos and RPGS have varying levels of this across the board. Some MMOs have better narrative than some RPGS. RPG stands for ROLEPLAYING GAME. A game which involves taking a role and progressing through a story.

@@aphidbowler7027 Actually it isn't. MMO is an acronym for Massively Multiplayer Online. RPG is Role Playing Game. Not all MMOs are RPGs. Put simply, RPG is the genre, MMO is the format. There have been MMOFPS's & MMORTS's that had no RPG elements in them. Saying MMO is short for MMORPG is the same as saying "Linear" is short for Linear Shooter. The vast majority of MMOs are also RPGs, but the format is not exclusive to them.

@@Haurath Going back to my original comment, "more like an mmo that was single player" is an oxymoron. Also, mmo is the format, but for what? MMORPG, MMOFPS, MMORTS? MMO by itself means nothing. Massively multiplayer online. So the internet is an MMO? Also WoW is an MMORPG. It involves narrative and mini-stories, lore, and hey look, roleplaying servers. It also involves stats, dicerolls, and leveling up, another element of RPGs, though not the main one.

@@2020100james I disagree.

Same, started in Burning Crusade and took me months to get to mid 30s on a dwarf hunter lol i always kept running to cities to look at the high level armour and weapons on the AH wasted so much time just enjoying the game world and the community seemed so much better like had genuine ppl willing to help or have a chat, guilds seemed more relaxed and welcoming and not everything was a competition. I'm gonna have a bash for the TBC release i hope its as good as it was, i did try classic when it came out but seemed to attract a lot of players from other games and the overall community seemed to have lowered, like when i played back in BC its a time when younger kids didnt really have gaming pcs, they were not really an affordable thing back then, just had consoles really and mostly played outside, but these days with pcs getting better and cheaper, a lot younger kids are getting them and they just sometimes obviously lack the maturity of others through no fault of their own of course but just make the experience a tad more unpleasant for me. People would log in each day at the same time after work and school and it was genuinely something to look forward to after shit school day, none of my school friends had pcs back then, and the game always felt like the community was older than i was. Did you feel any of this? i think we played around the same age years wise but you was after me i think by a few years, been interesting to look back on it in this way. Kinda afraid to jump back in too incase i get hooked lol but still gonna give it a go.

This is true. I played a lot of MMORPGs before WoW came out and they were punishing when you died. You respawned in town, you lost xp, you lost skill points, and you had a chance to drop an item from your inventory. When you dropped an item in a PvP zone that usually led to having to bring an entire group to go get it back. Also, all of the MMOs I played used the F1-F12 keys and click to move which was an awkward combination. WoW used FPS WASD controls and you could use any key on the keyboard. The game had very snappy and responsive controls.

WoW was my second mmo after Runescape. I was 16 back in 05' when I started and it was pretty fun for a year and a half. Eventually though, after hitting level 60 I just lost interest and wasn't into raiding and only PVP'd occasionally. Mainly just messed around and collected ore to craft stuff and do my own thing. Realized that I may as well just play Oblivion instead and save $15 a month so I quit. Honestly, the game was already pretty boring to me after the first 4-5 months when I hit the level 40 range but I kept playing because a co-worker was into the game so I helped him out and when I quit I just sold all of my shit and gave him all the money and lets just say he got a lot of gold. Tried the game again many years later in 2014 but quit within the first month. I don't get how people have the patience to play Everquest or Ultima, I've tried both of them and they move at a snails pace. WoW was grindy as hell but those games were ridiculous when it came to the grind.

save it, it's all yours my friend :)

That actually sounds like it would've been an awesome idea. Sure you're character dies in the "mortal world" (or 'overworld'?) but they would be able to still play the game and maybe receive rewards only available by completing challenges while in the 'afterlife' or Emerald Dream in this case. Probably be best to put a timer between deaths to prevent players from purposefully suiciding themselves to blow through all the challenges too quickly. In the meantime even if their avatars dies while the reward lock timer is active they could still have a plethora of things to do while waiting for a rez or even running back to their corpse like fighting spectacle enemies, exploring the spiritual planes, learning some lore, interacting with various friendly or not so friendly spirits, visiting dead NPC characters that can't leave or won't and avoiding the wrath of the tougher eatheric beings that don't like mortal spirits trying to leave the afterlife realms. (think the Fel Reaver from Outlands, but more than one and are great spirits of the Emerald Dream or afterlife planes)

@I Am Who I Am SUPER NERD :D

but very true, Everquest was where it was at if you had no life.

The mmo's that were out during the current time. WoW was definitely casual.

@@sofakingdom3076 Very true... I always tell that to wow players and they get triggered. If you used to be an MMORPG player back then, played anything else, and went on to play WoW... you would find it very easy...

well i don't want to say much about this but , technicaly vanilla wow is harder then wow nowadays , the combat system and the talent trees where complex compared to ' modern wow ' leveling was harder too , and i do remember people in my guild actually doing dungeons with the guild 2 times a week to get an epic item suited for their classes and those dungeons lasted for hours and hours IF the entire guild was not whiped out and everybody died and had to start over again with the bosses in those dungeons until they could beat them .. so not really a ' casual ' experience in my opinion but oh wel

Even WoW was too extreme for me when it came to the grind, getting to level 60 took me like half a year.

Swashbuckler was the idea. A rogue with a buckler and short sword

KZfaq obviously thinks you like shit.

Just two days ago I turned clutter to the minimum for the Nagrand poop quest and I've left it down since. It appeals to me for some reason.

WoW Machimana Tool (or something like that) is something I started using a few years ago that I wish I knew about whenever it first came out. It's meant for making machimana videos, so you can set free cam, unlimited cam zoom, change the skybox, stuff like that; but the best part is you can use it to set the view distance, clipping distance, and fog distance to whatever you want. So in other words, normally for max FPS on a crappy system you set the view and whatnot all down to minimum. With WMT, you can set the fog distance to nothing, jack up the view/clip distance 3x higher than WoW even allows, and still get better FPS than simply setting your ingame slidders to minimum. Fog is the biggest hit to FPS after shadows, but I've never played ANY game, let alone MMO, that lets you change the fog. Another example: one of Morrowind's biggest problems is non adjustable fog. You can use a tool with a similar view function as WMT to disable fog, and you triple your framerate on a shitty PC, or get the same FPS but with a massively increased view distance. All that said though, yeah there is something special about WoW with a minimal foggy view distance. It doesn't feel right seeing more than like 50 feet in front of my guy in vanilla areas. Nowadays however I still won't play without WMT to disable fog and have clear view across 3 zones, not anymore. I got spoiled by it.

It was Tauren. That's actually what the random Tauren patrolling the road in Stranglethorn Vale was for (Samantha Swifthoof). There was going to be a questline sort of like the class quests to learn it. I kind of wish they went with it, thought I guess a Tauren sprinting at 200% speed would be pretty silly. Worgen got not one but TWO racials that temporarily increase running speed, so I don't see why they couldn't have given the original furry race something similar to one of those.
