Dear Wow community, hope you will support my idea about future of classic wow/SOM2 so Blizzard can listen to us!!!
I was paying this game since I was a little boy, 8 years old and till now (I’m 27)
1)World Buffs
Blizzard you need to understand is that we love classic the way how it was, big mistake was removing world buffs in SOM1 , it’s killing game mechanic, there is not many things to do in game, and me personally was lvling night elf priest , and staying in the shadow realm, and waiting for the sweet Zug-zugs to dispel world buff, you can’t do stuff like that , it’s one of the big aspects of the raids, preparing, and a lot of people enjoy that
2)population
We dnt asking you Blizzard for a lot of realms with different languages, the way why classic is so perfect and so fun is because the world was not empty, whenever you lvling you can see the other ppl, make some grp for elites , make a grp to help ppl with killing 10 lvl higher rogue opposite faction. Vanilla servers must be full of people , and solution for that is 2 huge realms 1 for EU and 1 for US , also solution for open world is to use good option that you gonna be using in Hardcore , that ppl who are less then lvl 60 (1-59) , have only 1 availability to enter each dungeon per day, in this case boosting gonna be almost impossible, open world gonna be more saturated, that’s it
3)Timeline
Again as for me Vanilla that was in 2019 was to long but in other hand SOM1 was to short so it must be something in the middle like 15-18 month as for me gonna be ideally , in this case you dnt need to improve xp% for faster lvling , because that’s one of the main aspects in the game - levelling , another mistake that you made in SOM1 , you can’t to that
4)Class tuning/reworks
As I mentioned before , people dnt like big changes in classic, it’s gonna kill that game otherwise as you probably can see in other private servers, But some small fixes definitely can improve game and will make some classes really enjoyable
I’m not talking about class tuning or something like that, because honestly but it’s the most stupid idea, it’s the same thing if you gonna say like “hey blizzard, please nerf warlocks and hunters in tbc” or “please nerf mages and warriors in wotlk” , people needs to understand that in every expansion there is always a classes that are better then others, and that’s it.
But for example removing debuff cap on the bosses will open some new dps abilities for most of the classes , like warlocks using dots , hunters using sting and much more, game for these classes gonna more enjoyable because as for me it’s really stupid once you have ability that you can’t use for your rotation
5)Honor system
Probably some nolifers gonna punch me, but I really think that Blizzard must somehow rework honor system in classic, the way how it was back in the days , for people that have some life , they just can’t reach r14 it’s kinda impossible at all, I think that it’s still must be hard for example, but make some daily’s for good amount of honor, so people always will have something to grind and to do in this game, and do it that way that for example person how was doing bgs + doing daily’s for pvp was able to reach r14 in 1 month
6)PVP
All classic realms should be PVP only, I’m not the PvP fan at all honestly speaking , but as we mentioned before, the way we love classic is world , playing it without pvp people missing so many features, like battle of black rock/scarabs tunnel fights and more and more , playing classic without PvP is the same if we cut 50% aspects of this game, because once we reach endgame, and for example you cleared all raids you have few options to do, farm gold/farm reputation/farm bis items,
PvP making social aspect of the game more popular, and you can’t just cut it from the game, people who never player vanilla PvP missed a big part of the game
Overlook)
Please make some small changes, create seasonal fresh server for 15-18 moths with restart once it ends, and believe me a lot of people gonna be playing it and paying money, me personally get bored now fro retail, In wotlk I’m just raidloging in my 2 chars , and I really want to play vanilla now but dnt know where, classic era is stupid, you have all raids, all gear in AH there just nothing to progress at all, you can’t prepare for next phase or something like that. Vanilla must be the game that people always can play…
In 2019 I was considering if I should be playing WoW Classic or not, since I been there in May 2005. Started playing Classic in late September. Took my time on the first character that was feral druid to honor my Vanilla main. No Questie, no rush just immersion and sweet nostalgy.
