Yesterday I got 12 slot Large Knapsack from fishing in STV floating crate. This is first bag I have dropped on this character since launch

holy shiz i did not know that was in the loot table!! i cannot wait to fish them :D:D

Unless I had made a mistake, because I also had one normal lockbox that I opened along the chests from fishing and cannot recall if it was 100% from the fishing chests, but I think so

Home at last!

180 hours played the first 11 days… My life is over, but I love it

[Alhana-pyrewood-village]

You are such a geek Toto. Now where’s my wand?

With the guys I’m playing with the game feels exactly like back then. Solo it is dangerous and I group as much as I can. Short encounters with 1-4 others and recognizing ppl you have met earlier is just wonderful.

If it wasn’t for layer hopping and faceroll instanced content, I would agree. As is though Classic is not a very good MMO. It’s not Vanilla nor is it high quality in all aspects.

6/10. Which still probably makes it the best commercial MMO.

I’m level 37 and standing in the middle of Grom’gol base camp in STV, next to the fire. Above me a clear night sky with innumerable amount of stars, I can hear crickets, and all sorts of beasts just outside the camp fortifications. I’m about to go and kill all sorts of creatures for my quests, and theres a good chance that I will die.

And the best part is that there is no Sperglordxdlol flying around on his spectral rainbow hippogryph (only 29,99$ in the Blizzard store). This is what I wanted.

Sign every word.Also wasnt expecting to also have waterie eyes as soon as i heard the Arathi Highlands tune and seeing those plains and rock elemental formations…felt really good.

[Culsmut-stormreaver]

Completely off-topic: How do you guys get your Classic character to show in your forum profile?

[Freddy-zandalar-tribe]

Log out of battlenet forums and log back in.

[Sacralige-shazzrah]

That did it, thanks!

[Devv-gehennas]

Yep its amazing, 10 years of private servers and now we are finally home for real, i should also start to catch up on real life at some point lol.

[Syllogisma-pyrewood-village]

i didn’t think i’d play it, i thought there was no way i would feel the same as i did back then and ok, to a large degree i don’t, who could, but does it have any of the old magic…of course it does…
it really annoyed me that they took the fun out of my favourite dungeons like Stratholme, i’ll never forget how unforgiving it was…for a long time it couldn’t be solo’ed thanks to those nasty debuffs…
i was wrong. i’m enjoying it more than i thought i would, moreso in fact than any other retro experience…ty…

Excellent Darkshire is not the same without his menace prowling the roads.

@Bor-firemaw

what’s a Forum Ambassador?

@Tizaksul

We’ve been around for a while, although we used to be called Forum Engagement. Aerythlea made a nice intro post about us back in August 2017 here on the old forums

Me personally, I’ve been here at Blizzard 11 years this October, & bearer here.
Been helping out on the Forums in some form or other for the past 3 years.
You might not have noticed me recently as I don’t show up in the Blue Tracker for the new Forums, used to on the old one

@Nightshadé-nethergarde-keep

Excellent Darkshire is not the same without his menace prowling the roads.

I had to run through Darkshire the other day, at entirely the wrong level to do it but from Westfall to Lakeshire it made sense to take the dark road and pick up the flight path on the way.
Everything tried to eat me.

[Galrath-kilrogg]

I have to agree with everyone here, when I first logged into classic (about a week after everyone else) the memories came flooding back, the early struggles, … and … that is how far I have got for the moment, still struggling to get my four chars up to level 10 which is why my classic chars do not show on these forums yet, I just don’t have the time these days to play all day every day like I used to

[Zorakna-ashbringer]

I can make 6 slot bags if you like!

[Keraii-pyrewood-village]

I must get to STV! This is where my first character dinged 60, a long time ago.

[Christopher-frostmane]

Is there a point where Blizzard realises that, perhaps, Classic WoW is not just a nostalgia trip but a much superior game than loot casino for Azeroth?

[Femboy-firemaw]

despite the constant whining on this forum complaining about all kinds of nonse,se…

this WoW is the wow that i remember and love! and couldn’t be more happier

[Rorcanna-draenor]

It might be a “much superior game” to you, but to others? Not so much.
Both version existing means you can choose which you want to dive into. Sadly, the Classic crowd has only made it all too clear over these past years that you prefer to talk about how wrong everyone is for enjoying Retail over just playing the game and minding your own business.

Classic is there for the players craving it. Retail = the one that moves forward. Design decisions in the current game are meant to be improved upon based on feedback rooted in the current game, not what players enjoy about the 15 year old version. Because trust me, it’s NOT something that everyone enjoys. No, not because “plebs” or whatever other dehumanizing buzzwords are being thrown around, but simply because no matter how you spin it, the game changed as a resulf of player behaviour and feedback.

If they take lessons from the past for application in the future of the game, I’d rather see them use MoP as the source than Classic. 100 times over.
