This is well put. Probably worth a mention that the zone content while leveling is generally good too. You can comfortably clear the majority of any zone's quests with an appropriately leveled character within a few-hour grind. It has a way of feeling just different enough to work and the stories from each zone were enjoyable on their own terms, if you stopped to smell the flowers. There's some areas of improvement and some clear gaps in quest content from 1-60, but that's about all I'd want them to add. I'd accept new raids for end game, but like you said, the end game is sorta secondary now and that's okay.

Vanilla is honestly just a massive game on it's own, expansions did their best to try and expand the game but in actuality they closed it off more than ever before. The origin story of a character remained the exact same all the way to cataclysm, where certain elements and quests changed due to zones changing, but then from cataclysm onwards, the origin story has never changed, yet has with each subsequent expansion become more and more insignificant. All you did leading up to dragon isles does not matter at all because there are glaring holes in your story leading up to the dragon isles. What keeps you rooted in Classic Era is that from level 1 to 60, all you do is connected, you even earn reputation towards relevant factions while you are still below level 10, and you start building up professions so you can capitalize on the value they produce when you reach higher levels - your weapon/defense skill(s) increase through manual labor all the way from lvl 1 to 60, you build a solid foundation for your endgame to sit comfortably on top of. Dragonflight (and any of the past 3-4 expansions) has been a skyscraper with the lower floors just being vertical steel beams stacked on top of each other with an elevator attached and then suddenly there's this massive half finished construction on the top that's made to be temporary and can be ripped off when the next floor needs to be built on top.

I love the slower pace of vanilla, and the ability to forge your own path, tell your own story. You're not the "Speaker of the Horde" (along with all the other player characters basically waiting in line for this "special title") -- you're literally one of the little RTS units, but the top-down perspective has become 3D. I love that openness, and playing on a Vanilla + servier, where there's fun new things to explore, but it's still Vanilla, just makes it better. In my server, Turtle WoW, I just joined a new guild that takes this philosophy to the max - "Story Mode". We have fun, unique events, like RP walking from just outside Ogrimmar (so our Alliance guildies can take part and not get killed by guards) all the way to Gadgetzan. A few days later, we had our own guild fishing tournament with prizes. It's really fun!

The best part of vanilla to me, is how much you have to do before raids. Getting the money for the mounts, getting professions to actually play a big role in the world around you, running all the late game dungeons and quests looking to get the preraid BIS, on top of how much time is put into leveling. Even for hunters for example, theres a ton of fun in upgrading your pet skills by taming new pets and looking for rare pets. I never really got into wow heavy when it was in the BC stage of the game back in the day, so its nice that i managed to find so much fun out it now. Being as i never stuck with WOW I find retail impossible to get started in. It just seems so overbloated but classic feels like i know exactly how to get going when i start a new character.

As someone who is not play World of Warcraft anymore. I wish that there would be a version in which vanilla had quality of life improvements and balance changes. Hell maybe even going radical and having WOTLK changes into vanilla without having the map expand. What I liked about vanilla is no matter where you'd go there would be people, not one or two but a bunch of people, be it allies or foes. Once BC dropped, the map expanded and it felt more empty all of the sudden. I think that vanilla map size combined with WOTLK balance could have been nice thing to have.

I think one thing wow should have done to increase this feeling of online community, is for example, the first realm group that defeats a raid boss becomes canon lore wise, i mean that people become canon in a way that they build statues of them, they are recognized as the saviors of azeroth, others can still farm gear, do the boss, etc the same way as it is now, but the first group that did it becomes oficially recognized as the canon saviors of azeroth, so, you don't end up playing a game where you are the savior of azeroth, saving azeroth again for the 100000 time, that breaks innmersion, its supposed to be a living world, we can't all be the saviors. and i don't really think is hard to make, maybe its unfair because of course not everyone of us has the time to become the first ones, but i think that is a way to respect the lore of the community, and when people look at someone portraying the title 'The Kingslayer' would actually mean somenthing, i get it, everyone wants to be the savior, the goat, the number 1. but you are playing an mmorpg, go play a singler player game if you want that experience, there is plenty of options out there, i think wow is an unique oportunity to develop this sense of 'online community' so devs can take some priviledges in order to maintain and encourage that social feeling

some very good points I am someone who played wow early days back in the summer of 2000 500 wow had only been out about eight months at that point in time I was still fairly fresh when you say things like there is no wrong way to play the game as long as you’re having fun I feel like this is true to appoint. if you want to really MinnMax your character and play as they did back in the day in an Optimal Way,, Warriors would pretty much always be tanks. Holidays are pretty much always healers druids are pretty much always healers. shaman pretty much always healers. Warlocks are only really needed for one or two spots at the most Eno or high end dungeon same thing with shadow crates. They aren’t even required if somebody just happens to have one and there’s a spot being not taken by somebody else that is more valuable than you will be able to go. The reason this is is because during original vanilla wow there were certain caps on debuffs. for no reason at all, of course, nowadays, it probably doesn’t even matter anymore. You could probably go in with just about anything and face roll whatever it really doesn’t matter anymore.

I think sadly that era of gaming has ended due to the abundance of info on the internet, as well as the changing culture of gaming. I do really miss the days of not knowing things and figuring them out. In WoW we were all a lot more naïve and it led to so many rumours and legends in the game, it was great!

Having played vanilla on private servers since 2013, classic since 2019 and everything retail has put out since 2008, I would say that the current vanilla era community is among the best, most friendly and active that it's ever been. I think when people see WoW in a difficult position, they often return to vanilla and have a much more positive attitude to the social side of the game because they realise what a gem it is

For you to experience the original game, you need to play Classic Era WoW. You can't access the original version of the game in Retail Wow due to the world being revamped in the Cataclysm expansion which released in 2010. If your main goal is to work through the expansions as best as possible, I would start with Classic, then go to retail, but honestly you will have a hard time fully experiencing all the different expansions because the only "current content" versions of the game where you will encounter lots of players on your journey are Classic Era, Wrath Classic (so currently quite far into the 2nd expansion of the game) and retail which is in the current Dragonflight expansion, released last year. Quite a long answer but I hope this helps!

I'm not quite sure if "sandbox" is the best way to describe classic. You can't say.. get to lvl 10 and go level in the Burning Steppes, or do 2 quests in Westfall, and expect to get the quest to kill VanCleef. You may have some options, but ultimately.. retail would be the more "sandbox" game. You can go to any zone and level freely. I love WoW in general - classic/retail. It really doesn't matter to me. However... There are "right" ways to play both games, following whatever meta does the biggest numbers. The problem therein lies in the community of each. My general time in Classic? I'm not accepted because I willingly played Ret. I'm not thought of for gear or upgrades... In retail? The only time I've been ignored is when either A) Someone else gets chosen over me due to higher io/ilvl or B) They simply didn't like me. You can have fun with both games just by playing it however you like. You may not have fun in Classic, and thats ok. You may not have fun in retail, and thats ok too. Games are meant to be fun - stop trying to draw lines in the sand over which game or version is better.

Sometimes I feel like wow is a far better picture in videos than when you actually play it. I remember I did follow through everything back when classic came out to get ready for BC. And what I got in that journey? You level up till 30, to later find out that your mate mage aoe farmed and rushed to 60, your other mate just bought gold to get the mount, your other guildies left, some play it for 8h a day and in the end you are left off going through everything alone and feeling like why should you care if you can just get boosted. When I got to 60, I remember that everyone was crazy about world buffs, potions and everything else. And if you do not invest time in those things you are left without raids, proper dungeons and actually without any content to do.

Classic WoW combines an approach to levelling which rewards hard work, teamwork and dedication to your character - with a truly enormous, colourful world. For example, I've just started a quest chain which has had me travel across half a dozen zones to uncover a plot to kidnap a king, and I'm not even half way through the levelling process. Give it a shot and you might just love it!

Honestly for fresh vanilla classic content, they could probably just make some fresh servers, rework some boss mechanics, and change up (by adding new items) or randomize the loot tables to where BiS is different

Played when classic released. The black lotus grind for my epic mount was real. around 800 gold in an all nighter sesh in Burning steppes. Shoutout to Wild Turkey. Then circa the release of Burning Crusade. Farmed my epic flying before i even hit 70. Shit load of world pvp / mining and herbing. Was pre bis for kara then stopped 😢 Recently started again on retail after a year + break from wow. Not sure how I'd go with another classic journey. Was still leveling alts and such in my off time from my main. You have to relevel or? Since i brought them into BC, at least my main anyway. So Not sure how i'd go again. Really good experience and I'd highly reccomend the whole game. Hit hard like it did as a kid, cept I had more of an idea. For example I had to farm gold for flying, well into being 70. Ended up borrowing somegold. Then with this time around having epic ready to go was insane for me. Then with classic wow, was running around STV for weeks once i got my mount. Was so happy, and I was a hunter, using aspect of the cheetah :P Quite funny looking back. Nice vid dude, glad you're having fun. Twinking was another fun experience through the classic xpacs also! Edit: STV Story is me as a kid playing the game. Having an idea and being more mature helps for sure. Ignorant bliss was real. Edit:Edit: Biggest issue with classic wow is raiding. Thats where its murky as. Especially pugging. (Naturally). The attunement grind is the worst.

Great Video , I see a lot of these classic fan videos and I can understand why I'm not sure if I really want to play Cata classic , In my very own opinion I'd love to see a wow 2 with Hyjal and Uldam in it , stretch to max level 60 , as a TBC player playing classic Vanilla in 2019 just made the game make sense , everything from even First Aid made sense and everything has its uses , you have gear you deserved to have for ages . guild chat sometimes went on for ages where really good players would dish out advice to newbs I feel invested in the game for almost a year , every item of gear feels special when I first got it , the gold I made was mine , I farmed in Wetlands on Welps for fire resistance potions for months to pay for my mount , whilst some guys moaning that a gold seller is ripping him off lol . Legion was great , however everything does not feel as time invested as Classic does . I'd start again ,. as one classic fan video said maybe have 2 servers just rotate through the 3 expansions

If Blizzard by accident added areas that almost were reaady before BC launched - I would play and then there are the thing with blood elves zone - if the burnig crusade never happened then that zone Silvermoon would be filled with hostile Blood eleves to any faction and there would be no teleport to undercity and i guess the mobs a npcs would be in 45-60 range , No boat to dranei island and no dranei? I assume there could be an outpost and a boat with goblin crew shipping values
