elassar4637: Year 2050: blizzard we want another fresh
Meoang: When they started doing vanilla servers I kind of just assumed they'd make fresh servers every now and then. Era is fun but I would really enjoy starting again with everyone on a fresh economy progressing through the phases.
empire0: I think its lame they don't have at least 1 dedicated TBC and Wrath server. I play classic era, but I would probably make a char in TBC and do a bit of raiding if the option was there
nataliep6385: We need fresh Vanilla and Fresh TBC to cycle every 2 years simultaneously.. honestly, isn't that what most people want?
wawatooki: I'm honestly looking to play TBC again. Didn't really have time to play it when it came out and it went so fast. Would love to experience it again.
cryptmaw8969: Give us a fresh server every 2 years
Persepolis-o2b: Original trilogy rolling through each phase of each expansion. Rinse and repeat from the start every ~4 years. I’d sub for life. Also, there are so many “versions” of vanilla out right now that I’d kind of wish they skip right to TBC next. All of my IRL friends stopped playing once Cata dropped, and most seem to just be waiting for some promise of TBC fresh- be it a new era server or vanilla fresh with the promise of progressing through the trilogy again.
ninhilo2551: Friendly reminder that seasonal servers aren't classic plus, they are retail minus.
EdgarClay: I love classic, id like it to stay as classic though. I'd be happy with a refreshing burning crusade
michaelstronghold3550: The deviate delight community is awesome. I rate this experience higher than 2019 classic launch. The culture is way closer to actual vanilla. No one here is just waiting for the next thing so we can now play the game. It's exactly what I wanted it to be.
insanemang9983: Legit if they would just have left a version of TBC I would be playing that religiously
sickish: You said "stimulating" twice when I think you meant "simulating"?
tsarovich2394: I’ve been playing on Deviate Delight, and it’s been … delightful
thegreattaiyou: Fresh classic is the perfect tool for buying the classic team time to work on a persistent Classic . If I were lead of Classic WoW planning and development this would be my plan:
1. Take Cata Classic and all future Classic Expansions and give them to the teams that handle Plunderstorm and MoP remix.
2. Let Aggrend and team finish out SoD. Give them a nice long break, then begin the debrief and retrospective.
3. Build a plan for a persistent Classic . Do not focus on adding player power or catchup mechanics. Focus on adding literally hundreds of new quests for everything from gear to endgame spells to recipes to summoning new dungeon and raid bosses.
4. A few months after SoD concludes, announce fresh classic.
5. Use all of the time that fresh classic runs (12 to 18 months) as essentially free time to work on developing and testing classic .
6. A few months after Naxx drops, announce Classic . Set the PTR date a few weeks out. Give no launch date.
7. Very limited, highly focused PTR testing. Encrypt all game files so that data mining is impossible.
8. Release with phases that are shorter but more numerous. Specifically and explicitly do not cater to the top 5% or the bottom 10% of players. Focus entirely on cultivating a community. Controvercially ban several addons, including weak auras.
9. Enter the platinum era of wow. Redefine what it means to be a "modern" mmorpg. Upend the entire modern gaming industry, demonstrating that good fundamental game design will always have a place despite what MBA bean counters might say about micro transaction revenue. Be the front page of time magazine. Global conflict cools for several years as everyone is too busy enjoying WoW.
TheOnlyGBeast: I'm somewhat disappointed that the sponsor wasn't hellofresh xD
erikgreis4291: I want TBC and WOTLK back
Jarke: Blizzard should make a fresh classic server that goes through the life cycles of TBC and Wrath. The fact that you can only play those xpacs on private servers now is sad.
27RCA: I'd like to try fresh TBC! I want to be able to try the expansion without having to chose between starting with a disadvantage or having to play through all of classic
thenerdbeast7375: Why does Hardcore need fresh at all? With the cyclical nature of new runs always happening it should constantly be active.
Sinodashayla: I’m so happy to see so many comments saying they want TBC fresh because SAME. Also so sad because I know they won’t do it
NickPlays95: I want TBC ERA
ChessJew: I know I want to. I don't have the heart to do the heroic Cata raid grind with what's left of my guild.
matthuckleberry5238: They should drop a fresh classic on the 20th anniversary.
