WoW being Reset completely. Imagine it would happen. Would you stay or quit?

Community General Discussion

Due to Asmongolds stupid thought of “I think they should reset WoW. Everything, even down to Transmogs and all that” (or something along those lines he said), I see in various channels like Discord (outside the forums) people mentioning this idea and discussing it. I don’t even want to talk that much about the topic here and rather skip ahead to ask the most important question that we should ask us all IF such a case would happen.

If World of Warcraft (and all your progress, including Transmogs) would be reset and modernized (in one go like FF14 A Realm Reborn), would you restart and keep playing or would you quit and never return?

I for myself can surely say IF Blizzard would reset WoW and all its progress, even down to all Transmogs, Titles, etc. I would quit and never return.

I’d quit completely, and never return - would possibly even delete my account (again) and never touch anything made by Blizzard ever again.

I doubt they’d be so stupid that they’d do that. Blizzard should just, by default, ignore anything Trashmongogold says, among many other streamers…

I have no attachment to any material possessions so I wouldn’t care.

Quit. Without a doubt.

If they had no respect for all the time I’ve put into the game, then I’d return the favour and find another game to play.

Fortunately this kind of idea is not coming from Blizzard.

And Blizzard (and I’d wager any gaming company) have the brain power to understand how bad of an idea this would be. They’d literally throw a nuclear bomb on their on company. There’d be nothing but loss in every aspect.

They already did that, I think they called it classic or something.

Last I checked it had made it to the third expansion.

No, they made Classic it’s own thing - what’s being talked about is Retail being Reset completely.

the game immediately flies off the hard drive.

The goal here was to make a facetious point about the redundancy of the suggestion, if people wanted another go around the clock, they can play classic.

Fair enough.

I wouldn’t care tbh.I find there is already a lot of bloat in the game.
In Sl there were like 2 milion colours of the same mounts,which aren’t even usable atm due to dragonriding…
At least in Bfa it was fun cause you could sell the mounts on Ah…
So whatever I am not pro but I am not against either.

I mean that’s Asmon’s opinion which is worth less. No risk of Blizzard taking such a silly decision.

They are usable outside Dragon Isles though. And it seems Blizzard will add static flying to the Dragon Isles as well, so before expac is over, we dont need to use the Dragonriding ones in DI either.

I’d literally rate the opinion of a whale turd based on it’s smell alone over anything Asmon says. xD

I’d stay.
But I really don’t see them doing it. Ever. It’s really stupid tbh.
Unless their plan is to lose half of whatever playerbase they have left.
Just resetting everything is nowhere near attractive enough to bring in the amount of new players to compensate what you’ll lose.
Making a couple of fresh servers now that I can see.

There’s classic for that.

As for a hard reset on retail, no, I already feel less attached since I stopped playing my vanilla characters around the end of Legion, so I probably wouldn’t play again if I lost everything. It’s already technically possible to hard reset retail by just making a new account and it sounds like a fairly uninteresting option considering how established many people’s accounts are.

There will be Trashmongoloid and his rabid fans, and some of his streamer friends that agrees with him, I guess?

This is a trick question. FFXIV ARR was a completely new game from the ground up.
So, you are asking us if we wanted WoW2 while not carrying that name.
The answer would still be that it depends on what would be different.
I am not attached enough to my WoW stuff to be unable to give a new game a try.
But, i would only play it if i enjoyed it.

As far as I remember the “original idea” of Asmongold it was:

  • All content the same but improved
  • New Graphics
  • All start from fresh
  • All collections reset
  • All characters deleted
  • Level from anew

What would be the point of such a reset tho?
To have such a reset happen there should be a decent reason.

“Modernized” sounds like a word put there not to give any deep thoughts on what should happen to the game to justify such acts.

Because Trashmongoloid said so?
