It would probably take just a couple of hours to set up a TBC or WOTLK legacy server for us players (I managed to do it in 30 minutes with a YouTube tutorial—though I understand there’s more to it on a larger scale).
The different clients for these versions are readily available, and I’m confident most WoW players are savvy enough to download another client, especially if they’re already managing 23 addons.
My entire guild stopped playing before Cataclysm, but they’d return to TBC in a heartbeat. We had around 140 members—mothers, fathers, even grandparents—who would happily pay for a monthly subscription again. However, I doubt any of them ever posted on forums, used Twitter, or even noticed a petition.
So when Blizzard says they’re listening to the community, who are they really referring to?
Blizzard, please give us TBC and WOTLK legacy servers.
And that’s why I think we should have both. There are people like you who love Wrath, and people like me who love TBC. For me, the social aspect was at its best during Vanilla and TBC - you needed others to accomplish things, and you had to communicate.
Yeah, but TBC has that Heroic Dungeon problem. Where you are behind a wall and you can’t join other easily if you didn’t when all people were doing it.
However, I would like a server of each one. I am a pvp player but a PvE server will be more suitable for all players and those who wants PvP can flag on. Maybe blizzard could just do a change and it is that you can only enable/disable PvP at Innkeeper. So no problem with people flagging off or on.
But I think 1 server for TBC, 1 for WoTLK and 1 seasonal server from Vanilla, TBC, WoTLK so people who loves “Fresh” can play this then migrate to the permanent ones.
I wanted to stick at WoTLK but they deleted it… so sad. If they put TBC and WoTLK, I would play all 3 of them for sure.
In my opinion, the attunements fueled the social aspect of the game, as everyone main and twinks needed to complete them.
I didn’t find it very difficult to form groups for the attunements, since there were always twinks and others willing to help. Knowing that others had to face the same challenges meant you could expect a certain level of game knowledge, especially in heroics.
but i get that not everybody is in favour of them.
I liked the attunements for Raids in WoTLK. Sometimes they were annoying 'cause for some reason you didnt have it and you couldnt go to raid but… What it annoys me from TBC was that for many HC you needed reputation.
I am not against attunements
I remember that the server i was playing got empty after a few months and I was not able to make a party being a pally 66 that could tank/heal. We were missing DPS… I can’t imagine that at lvl 70
Also, WoTLK should be implemented without that thing of HC++++++++ because that split the community a lot and it will become harder to find group as a new player/character. I remember doing HC dungeons just to help people =)
If I were to be given a magic wand and granted anything I wish (yeah, as if!) I’d have the following:
Two authentic fresh progression TBC servers (PvP/PvE) and two fresh progression Wrath servers (PvP/PvE). All players start from L1, content added on patch-by-patch basis. All original features intact, no drastic changes, all attunements intact, no boosts, WoW Tokens or Joyous Journey.
Once final patch is implemented and progression ends, the servers would become static time capsules, unchanged - similar to Wrath Era.
And then every year four new progression servers would be opened, allowed to run their course - and once the season ends they’d be taken offline and our characters would be automatically transferred to the static servers. And so on and so forth.
It’s never gonna happen - but it’s a pleasant dream to have.
What you have said would be the best but I dont think they are getting 4 static servers + 4 fresh. That is why i said that i would be glad with a PvE but of course that 1 of each kind would be great =)
It seems to be a lot of people demanding these servers… I guess we will need to wait like 50 years until they decide to relaunch those versions.
