"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man."
Very appropriate quote!
Ayy that’s a good one, Very true. I loved mop when it came out but it wasn’t till the remix event that I truly appreciated mop and what it had.
cope
I also read chat.
@@jaymzOG it's literally a world famous quote, describing what he's talking about. Why you acting like another guy in chat was the author lol
When i had no idea what i was doing is when it felt magical to me. World felt huge
Yeah. I can remember tip toeing out of the start area for B Elfs at Silvermoon to run into a huge fight between ally and horde outside the gates of Silvermoon, jaw on the floor lol. Hooked. I mean if you said to me some years from now you will have over 400k HK's I'd have said what's an HK?
the fact that everyone has to know everything just to play the game is not fun. as a noob/ new player getting kicked from a dungeon ive never done before because i took one wrong turn as a tank is anoying. i would rather just play something else
Hence why the first weeks of expac are the most fun, nobody knows shit
That is why I have always ran a private wotlk server for myself and friends. MMOs are cancer in general as well as most players that play them, so its nice to play co op or with teams of bots.
And that's why I no longer play WoW. It's not the game, it's the people. I play an MMO where it's ok, even usual, to hit stuff blind when you encounter it, as long as you're not doing the 'high-level' content.
@@mavfin8720 MMOs were the epitome of online gaming social interactions, you could trully make real friends through these games. Now, they're the opposite. No one gives af about anyone else, it's just grinding for the grinding, it's easier to find friends in any shooter than in almost all MMOs.
@@lahirebrz And you probably know which one people are still friendly to new people in, right? That's the one I play. The rest, well, I play to relax, not work another job. I have a job already, and they pay ME to be there, not the other way around.
I remember being like level 15 before I figured out I needed to repair my gear. Had no clue what the red guy in the corner was🤣
😂 cute
I was lvl 22 before I found out that there was an auto run button 😞
When Classic came out I did feel I was reliving those times. Sure the world wasn't completely new, but I had forgotten so much about it. The people I met, the places we went to, things I taught them and they taught me, quests we did, dungeons we did, the things we talked about... and even how it ended. It reminded me of everything I experienced back then. It wasn't the exact same, but it was damn near 80% there. Many of the people I met were newbies. You really can re-experience things for the first time through someone else.
Fall 2019 playing classic was some of the most fun playing a video game. It all felt fresh, even though I had played a ton from 2004-2008
@@chemicalbeef3128 Same. The nerds in a basement game design was just something special. The world of the game now is tailored to every inch to instantly explain to me what and where I need to go. There's no risk out in the world. There's no risk using abilities. If they throw a hard enemy at me, I get npcs that heal me or a crazy buff. The most complicated thing I might have to do is kick. Nothing requires a real group anymore unless it's specifically labeled group content. In which case it's curated to hell to be specific to that. A ui element and icon shows me all I need to know and the only real discovery in current wow is based around addons calculating stuff or a guide.
My guild was blessed to have a new player who had never experienced wow before join us right towards the end of abberus and he's now become enthralled with collecting mounts and achievements. He even joined us to to prog the furthest we've gone as a guild to 5/9 mythic. He's quickly become pretty decent at the game but he's so fresh into the wow scene that everything is exciting to him and it's incredibly wholesome. Part of my excitement of TWW is being able to see him experience a new xpac launch for the 1st time ever. These memories will stick with him forever
I just started playing the first time yesterday myself, and finding a guild that has patience to work with new players is a daunting task.
@@derekellisCAN Get used to that. The community is absolutely dead no matter what anyone says.
Nostalgia is a liar...she lures you back but never delivers.
YOU CAN EAT AND DRINK AT THE SAME TIME!???????
Same! I was socked
soup
That used to be one of the loading screen tips. I haven't played in years, do they even still do those?
I can even shit and piss at the same time! Im talented, I know!
@@wing0gund908 They do!
People before play the game, now work the game.
2 deep 4 me
Basically yeah. 20 years ago when WoW first came out, content farms basically didn't exist. UA-cam was still brand new and people just made amateur content, heck most people didn't even have a powerful enough computer that could run WoW AND a screen recording software at the same time, so everyone just played the game and VERY slowly figured things out. Nowadays when a game releases, thousands upon thousands of these content farm youtube channels, websites, blogs or whatever will grind the game out 12 hours a day and posting optimal things immediately. No-one figures things out now because they're already figured out in the first week.
I was at Hogger and saw something fly above me and thought, "Oh my gosh, it'd be cool if I could ride that, lol. I hadn't found stormwind yet. Hogger destroyed me, but my new dwarf hunter friend helped me.
This first year of wow. With no addons will never be the same
There's alot of people still experiencing that world for the first time today
alt tabbing to thottbot. zooming in while in big cities to reduce lag from bad PC. taking 20 days /played to get max level. finding the first blue item. getting friends addicted to the game
@@M3DIT4TE Take me back
Man, those first days were awesome. The feeling of the massive world, getting lost, linking my night elf druid up finally with my friend who rolled dwarf hunter. That run from Teldrasil to Dun Morogh was hell, but it was worth it once me and my friend could quest together. What a magic time.
Btw, people do NOT know everything about the Classic meta. There was a good 10-15 years of certain "truths" (from a spreadsheet in 2006 when we were clueless) being cemented, to the point where the community is gatekeeping against anyone daring to oppose it. I've seen people making guides about Classic even though they actually never played Vanilla. Let that sink in. So wehn they say "so basically, druids can only play healer", that is not based on any experience, but the silly lies being spread on forums for a decade. I actually raided as hybrid dps WTF.
2019: In my first L/UBRS run I got flamed for playing SV hunter, by another MM hunter. He was in MC gear and I was in green/blues. When I outperformed him on the dmg meter he attacked me even more. When I did BRD with friends we had a pug warrior tank, he wanted us to do a shortcut by jumping out a window and we were like "nah bro, it's 2 packs, no need". He then did it anyway, made us wipe, then called us noobs and left. I don't even understand why the soulsucking minmaxers even play the game. Are they enjoying it?!
The Classic community is overall a pretty terrible community. They've sucked the soul and fun out of a great game, and act aggressive when people try to get some sense & wonder back.
Sad.
I cannot put into words how completely fking correct you are and how I experience the absolute same things. Its sickening
“I have a single anecdote to disprove mountains of empirical evidence!”
@@kahricus And the fact I played, and thrived, Vanilla since 2005. You know, that single anecdote...
I played heart of the wild build druid for 2019 classic and it was awesome lol... Versatility to tank, dps, and heal.. tank and heal in a serviceable manner too.. not the best, but was an awesome play style imo. And classic WoW is easy enough HOTW spec was just fine
Of course a handful of people said I was an idiot, but I didn't really care, it was fun
The classic community is full of r3tards I agree holy shit. Retail and classic community are like two different games from two different genres.
After 15 years away from WoW I started playing again about a year ago. It has been intermittent with more stretches of time not playing. So much has changed, so much has not. As an old time player I can say that I still am able to find the wonder & magic in the game; not with the same intensity as I once did but it’s there. I love exploring all the nooks & crannies in every area - land, sea, mountain, or sky. I wish the new cities had more of that - more empty halls, corridors, & rooms to explore! You did a great video, thank you.
I remember my first time in Warsong Gultch alliance charging at us I thought "wow this is an actual battle" I had chills as we clashed in the middle just a good time. What a distant memory, nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
WoW is a game that holds a special place in my heart. A game where I was never bored and always had a ToDo list of stuff I wanted to accomplish
We were so lucky to experience it, the small window in time when the greatest video game experience was happening. These days content gets solved and metas get shared almost instantly its so far from the classic experience.
Also made a Night Elf Rogue, during the 7 day trial. I got to lvl 8 and immediately begged my mom to buy me the game
Ichi go Ichi e Was worth this entire vod. Life is fleeting enjoy every moment. ❤ Thank you.
It's the speed runners that really kill it for me. In any mmorpg game: Destiny 2, WoW, Warframe, etc. They learn the content then just skip past everything and dart to the end without consent from the group. It forces teleportation in some games to the next area, missing all the loot, or specific "kill 'x' number of enemies in a certain way" challenges, making it difficult or impossible for other players to finish the quests especially if the content can't be done solo. People won't explore long enough for others to actually experience the game, they just find the fastest route to skip past the most content to the end loot.
Always despised people who rushed and felt their time was more valuable than everyone else's. All I ever wanted was a solid 5-person crew who did everything together and explored every corner of the dungeons. You just can't get that with grouping randomly. Always at least one person who doesn't communicate and immediately hearths.
When I first started I thought that Elwyn Forest was the whole game, and it was awesome. When I found Stormwind I was blown away.
My friend and I got to gold shire and started asking people where “elwynn forest” was. Bless the guy who said “follow me” and took us to fargodeep mine
This is the same i say for depressive people including me and how i got over my anxiety 80% free. Once you have seen and know everything you get bored, depressive, unable to enjoy because you have experienced it all. This is what i think why many young people are depressive because if they are very curious and they get a PC or a phone they see and hear on internet literaly everything they ever wanted in a short amount of time that took maybe a whole lifetime for their grandparents and they get lost in life because they know it all so to say..
Interesting take sir.
Well said.
We all remember the most impactful moments also; not just creating and playing your first ever character, but those moments that actually made your eyes pop and you truly realised just how special the game was. For me, it was entering Darnassus for the first time. It felt so momentous and overwhelming. Now, it's just pretty (and I'd be killed on sight by those filthy elves, haha).
we feel the same with Lineage 2.. is hard to go back and feel the same... that feeling back then was once in a life. Now the only think we have is Nostalgia.
My was a gnome rogue with the name "Chuck" and that name really was still available. The funny thing is, i didn´t even knew the Chuck Norris Jokes back then. When i just dinged 60 i joined AV and everyone was hyping me and spamming Chuck Norris Jokes and i was like "...wtf is happening!?" 😂
aww man I miss Nostalrius. It wasn't made by people grinding a 9-5 job, trying to milk you with pay-to-win. It was made by dedicated and talented fans out of love. Any day, any time, you could log in and it took less than 10 seconds. The severs were never down for maintenance. And the people we met, logging in from different parts of the world, it was amazing. The chat supported many languages. I'm from the U.S. and I was in a primarily Australian guild. A bunch of cool cats from Perth. Much love if you're out there!!
Sounds exactly the same as 2019 classic wow if you didn’t play on one of the bigger servers. Having to wait a little to play just meant more people were playing that’s not a bad thing
@@sqwippysquishy5287 it was certainly a different experience. No layers. No lag. I was disappointed with 2019 classic initially after Nostalrius
@@sqwippysquishy5287 Yet nobody plays now.
Nostalrius was liteally the best experience ive ever had playing wow, the fact that people form all over the world were playing made the game feel so immerive and loose, there was not a meta chasing culture either as it was still a novel experience for the majority of the players. 2019 was great but it never came close to what the experience of nostalrius was.
I played Nost in a Slovakian guild, and eventhough i couldn't speak or understand the raid chat, it was the best wow experience i've ever had.
This applies to almost every new game...imagine playing a game like elden ring in the 90s when there weren't streamers and websites shovingmeta, secrets, strategies and hacks down your throat
You could though, at least until druids could use polearms.
Whoosh
If you looked at the original game info from 2004 it said druids could use polearms
I was 9 when i first logged in. I watched my dad play all through classic and started playing right before B.C. good memories. True nostalgic Magic.
that whole video was him trying to come out of the closet with pet battling cant fool me
I started in wotlk. I will never forget, exploring on my nelf hunter, stumbled my way somehow into the entrance of Undercity. The eerie music, the atmosphere, the lack of mobs, I knew I fucked up. kept going past the throne room, into the elevator corridors, and when I got blitzed by the abomination guard NPCs in .005 seconds, I jumped out of my goddamn chair. I'll never forget how it felt to explore, the world pvp, the quests and immersion. it was all new. the good and the bad.
I am a newb, experiencing all this content for the first time :) it's fun and exciting still. And what is disappointing is when people try to push me into hurrying or boosting me along. No, I want to experience these zones. If I wanted to hurry through I could go to retail and use chromie-time (which has its place, but not what I want from classic, but, wrath, cata).
Yes, i will play retail too because its still all new. I hope classic keeps going.
When I go into those caves in dwarf/gnome starting zone with the yeti's I get the feels back. Those caves for some reason always help me getting that feeling back
100% agree with your take on Retail, it’s what keeps me going back. The untouched content.
I never tried classic? Only in 2007 if that was classic? But should I? I think I will asap… hmmmmm
I'm so glad to enjoy the game since beta, level capped at 45, so many things to discovery. Majorities were struggling in dungeons due to "bad" Tank/Healers, and players able to kill the princess in Maraudon was a big deal.
Give us FRESH for Christmas 24 !
And reverts all changes. Chronobon too and old pvp system
Kekw
Dude missed the entire point of this video lol.
Edit: If you wonder what I mean, everyone is chasing an experience that can never be re-created. That's the entire "hype" behind classic, chasing the feelings we felt as kids even though just as this video describes, life is fleeting and the moment we experienced once will never be the same again.
it would die in 3 weeks
wrong. never has never will. Official Vanilla Fresh always booming.
Love to see Crendor on the show, his approach is similar to Xaryu's and Madseason
Thank you for introducing the concept of Ichi-go ichi-e here.
I've been trying to become more present or aware of my awareness, and this gives that practice more depth and meaning for sure. 🙏
My first WoW character was a Tauren hunter named "Levelone"
There should be a tip in loading screen "Your character can eat and drink at the same time." Oh wait...
pizza night is never the same as the first one
Correct. Sometimes its better and sometimes you get Dominos
I felt this way about EverQuest Online Adventures for about 15 or so years now lol. I didn't play Vanilla, and only played a bit of TBC, and then much later Mists and on so... Vanilla still has that NEW feel for me. But it's still not the same really, since chatting in an online world was amazing at the time, and a pretty new concept when i entered the genre. So that's kind of played out, and i've played hundreds of MMO's.
Being able to recapture the original first time MMORPG experience again would be great lol. VR can likely do that oddly enough. I've played a lot of VR games that took after games like House of the Dead for example, and Space Invaders, and gave a new perspective and mechanics with VR. That's our best hope for recapturing the magic in MMO's. But nobody has made a MMORPG with WoW style quality in VR... yet.
food that restores both health and mana gave it away to me. I even learned buff food that restores both is considered food so you can start your Morning Dew or Moonberry Juice right after and it just replaces the mana regen portion of the buff food and keeps eating for buff.:D
sounds like every salary man that gets tired of life "just get another route to home dude buy a soda on the way or something"
This expansion was the first I had some of that feeling back
bs - ive gone back to Vanilla - Solocraft private server and its fkn magical.
Fckn magical braaah deviate delighting my arse off all day.
0:39 Bro is literally the Rogue from "The Guild".... 😀
The part about enjoying each moment because it is unique and only comes once is true, but I feel like that is discounting nostalgia completely. Because going back there have been moments such as certain TV shows, video games, or places that I didn’t really even like that much the first time around, but upon going back that feeling of nostalgia gives that place a whole new vibe. the problem with nostalgia is that it’s like going on vacation. To a favorite place. It’s great to visit but you can’t live there or else. It’s no longer nostalgia.
“You can’t go home again.”
Part of the magic was everyone newly experiencing it at nearly the same time. It took a substantial amount of time just to level up. Months for most people. People complain now about how long it takes but it made the game better. This made the game "bigger" and more immersive. Your actions had more purpose.
Can it be recaptured? Sure, but it would take another Cataclysm and slowing down the game a little. Making the leveling dungeons bigger, repeatable, and more consequential. Adding significance to more than just the "end game"
I made a human priest named cosmicstar on Lightning’s blade a month or so after BC launched but I didn’t get the expansion until weeks later. Even northshire abbey seemed big back then and I would get lost so often because I didn’t know about the map and I didn’t know what was around any corner. Later on I’d literally get so lost I’d have to hearth back just to gather my bearings. Running around getting grapes for milly osworth, fighting the defias brotherhood.
Guild wars 2 is the place to be ... so many new and first time experiences. Not to mention wow style that dragon riding idea from gw2 griffin mount.
This is how I still play wow today. Watch no guides, get no spoilers, play with 0 add ons. Just go around and explore and enjoy. Try new builds and new talents. I really like it. WoW as a noob is the best experience.
I agree to this
@@burnsilog3226 And don't think this is blocking you out of content. I did all the bosses from dragonflight as a shaman healer in Looking For Raid. So you can experience mostly anything by just enjoying the game.
Its a unqiue feeling to experience a game for the first time yes, but you can also enjoy a game the more you know about it, that has been the case for me when replaying classic.
if they someday figure out how to wipe a particular memory you have it would 100% be wow so i could experience it again like when i was a child
I feel that the best time in an expansion is the first week grind to knock out all your mythic 0's. No one knows the content really and no one really has gear.
I started playing WoW with when the hardcore hype was around and in my 30s is the most fun ive had in a video game. Never passed level 26 but DAYUUUUUM the adrenaline when ia green dropped or not knowing that can kill you or not. Dont remember the name of the rare Zebra in the durotar i think it was lvl 19 and i was lvl 23 and got killed and i got so angry i said, NO MORE RARES! and went again. Now i got a lot of work so i cant play but as soon as i get more financial stability ill hope to that experience again.
My first ever character was when wow had just first come out and I played a gnome mage. The best memory I have of it (this is around 20 years ago now) was coming across the big yeti and thinking I could kill it and thought just the portrait was amazing on the UI.
Also when looking at TBC while it was a decent comp one of my favorite things to do was play double rogue with a guildy it wasn’t serious but we got to 2000 and had an absolute blast.
i started in bc wrath pre patch and i didnt get a profession, use ah, consumes except hp pot, and didnt group for like my entire first year playing and i LOVED it.
when i was a kid playing wow for the first time i didnt know any English so i just discovered things alone, when i died i though characters are supposed to say in this "underworld" i didnt understand the concept of running to your corpse, if my character died i made a new one cuz the "underworld" was boring. crazy stuff
Agreed, when I played hardcore it was the most immersed I felt in the game since I was 10 playing for the first time, lol
I'm essentially brand new to WOW. I played for 1 month when I was a teenager and now that I'm 31 years old I just randomly decided to start playing 1 week ago. Everything feels new and exciting to me as I have yet to play WOW for even 2 months overall yet. The fact that a new expansion is coming out in a month and I get some time to learn more about how the game works before a whole bunch of OG players come back for at least a month is really cool to me. I will be able to experience new content with a bunch of OG players and get a shared new experience without feeling like I'm so behind.
this is what its like with dark souls games for me. its almost sad going through the worlds now, because i want it to be so exciting and new, but its just not. going through the worlds, knowing exactly where every item is, where the enemies are, how to kill them, the game now feels exactly like what it is. just a set of tight instructions with no life to it. where as your first run through, everything is a mystery, everything is alive. who knows what is around the corner. who knows what you will find. its definitely a rough feeling.
I remember being afraid going into a zone that was too high for me. I miss that fear
Me: Oh cool, I'm gonna pass some time enjoying a WoW video.
Xaryu: Ok so you can't get back anything in your life, enjoy everything that's happening because it's never gonna happen again, all that you love, adore and live for - gone
Me: **starts crying uncontrollably**
Wowcrendor is the man! I love to see you reacting to some of his stuff.
i was in a rank 1 speed running guild in classic, vanilla classic. Seasoned pro's all of us from day 1 OG vanilla, through EARLY pservers and on to being the big dogs in classic, and even then i remember this utter parse god, spreadsheet monkey raider being stunned to find out that if you do not pick an icon for your macro it will use the icon of first spell in the macro as a place holder and not the red question mark lol.
Experiences like this will never happen again, especially with modern gaming culture and game design theories
i cant even get this same feeling on new mmos. Nothing beats that excitement and heartpounding that i had in GW1 and Vanilla
P.S. 1st char - Made a night elf rogue called.....roguespear... good ol'days
I"m 100% skipping all leveling guides and meta builds going into The War Within like every expansion before. I love the mystery of a new area I have no idea what to do and each corner could be something incredible to find. There is ZERO reason to rush to max level from instant farming or whatever people might be doing. Because I know after Season 1, the game will just be a rinse and repeat grind.
Yup! I spent most of if not all my time in wow trying to rush leveling to get gear and raid. Trying to be the best healer or at least close on whatever server I migrated to. But now after growing a bit older and taking a break I think I’m just going to farm herbs and take my time questing.
I guess the coolest part of classic wow was that we had this huge map and people didn't know where to go and when. So that in itself made everyone have to be a lot more social.
First time WoW was probably when i was 12, TBC was out for a year or two maybe. Got the 60 days game time and only managed to get to lvl 17 with my undead warlock. Everything looked so amazing and i had absolutely no idea what i was doing. Compared to most other starting zones with bright colors and a lot of sun the undead zone was just so spooky with all the undead, zombies, left behind barns and houses and the overall lack of sun. I was way too into exploring and going on an adventure to realize how to play the game. Amazing time.
I only played vanilla back in the day. I consider it the best game I've ever played. Nowadays I play online poker and I always have WoW music in the background, just to keep experiencing some of that magic.
3:45 i just learned this myself leveling a paladin, its level 59 currently. I have at least 100 days played on all my characters and a handful of days ago i learned this haha.
Hahaha the eat and drink thing! I totally remember learning that on accident and being super annoyed it took me so long to figure that out. Tauren shaman in Vanilla. Dear Lord that was painful.
See, my problem with playing classic is that people are not okay with you figuring things out for the first time. First time tank? Don't worry, the hunter will pull everything and run ahead of you the entirety of the dungeon so that you don't have to figure things out, and more importantly, they don't have to wait for you to learn how to play the game properly. No one has time for somebody that is going into the game blind. And to me, that's when I begin to think the new-player experience is dead.
I love WoW, but I've been playing FF14 the last few years now and it's awesome how people are so patient with you on there.. it's jarring when I go between WoW SoD and FF14
internet was just way slower back then .. today everything is min/maxed / explored / explained / countless tutorials in a few hours afters release of something new - sometimes even before release when just streamers have access to something. Magic adios
Who first started playing with arrow keys?
I was so young when TBC came out I literally grinded non stop Hellfire Ramparts thinking the last boss would drop his nether drake mount.
Was 23 started a Undead Priest amazing feeling walking around that initial undead area, all the corners.
We want TBC Classic back !!!
The corollary to ichi-go ichi-e should be stop watching your phone and pay attention to the world around you.
Oh wow, I'm so glad to not ever redo that opening. But I gotta say, I enjoyed killing those wolfs at the opening and seeing how my first mage worked. Unfortunately, I can never get back on that account. When the encryption thumb drive went away, my first account went away. 😪
is this a reupload
Willie and Crendor are on the same page
As far as pronunciation goes, ichi-go ichi-e is prounounced as "E CHEE GO E CHEE AY" いちごいちえ
Dude I must have a childlike sense of wonder because when I take a break from the game for an extended period of time, classic is totally fresh for me. Literally playing a new Pally on OG Classic right now and just slowly immersing myself in the story reading every scroll that’s given as a quest item and the atmosphere has been so nice to decompress at night.
I remember being in BC with my buddies & we did all kinds of things just to see what exactly would happen. Things like "Let's walk/jump off the edge of Hellfire Peninsula to see what happens!" We knew we would die, but where would we respawn? How would we reclaim our bodies? It was such a fun time, trying to figure out exactly how things worked. I also recall raiding ZG with my guild & us trying to figure out how to kill each boss with whoever showed up for the raid that night. LOL I really miss those times...
Not even three minutes in and you got my sub. Happy to find you.
Started with a Dwarf, Played in the snow of Dun Morogh. Went thru the tunnel into Loch Modan and was blown away with the trees, Have not had that feeling again. Darn it.
Traveling and finding a new zone always felt like such an adventure. Going from Loch Modan to Wetlands was also a trip.
So much wisdom here, Xaryu your doin great here :3 Glad to follow you. Not many healthy gamers arround these days :)
16+ years of playing never played alliance so when SOD came out I sent an alliance rogue granted some parts of the game are similar but it’s been refreshing for sure! Te enjoying other aspects of the game!
I also ate and drank separately. I remember finding out in gchat when I suggested the idea for a patch to be allowed to eat and drink at the same time and the whole guild went off lol. ♥♥
This video was a once in a lifetime experience, like the tens of thousands before it, cheers man. 😎
I had no idea what i was doing when i started a Warlock in Tbc.Leveling all the way to lvl 30ish in white gear. And then to lvl 70 with green Spirit gear.I also used the Crescent Staff to lvl 70. I didnt know about gear and stats until someone explained it to me.I could not understand why everyone was calling me a noob..Good times.
Awesome refresher course on some S tier knowledge
Thanks! God bless!!!
When classic re-released in 2019 it was great, not like playing it for the first time in 2005 but as close as possible. HC also gives me pretty much the same feeling, if you're playing self found it kinda gives me the same vibe
I think playing Hardcore Mode made the game feel new again because it made the world feel more immersive due to taking things more slowly and being way more cautious about one's surroundings. I started paying more attention to the fine details of the world's art and such. I was pretty disappointed that the last time I logged into a hardcore server, it was dead because of SoD, when before it was booming.
It got even better when people left. only people who felt the game same as you described stayed
And others were there just for the hype
@@kahowka It was dead when I last logged in. I was the only one questing in the starter zone. My Death Alert add-on never went off while I was questing for a couple of hours, even after I increased the level range from 1-60.
I got really lucky because i only played horde my.whole life but in SOD i leveled alliance which gave me a whole new perspective to zones and quests and dungeons
remember exploring finding treasure before anyone else , now they are just shown on the map , i mean easier grind but i miss that feeling ye know
Only way to get the new MMO experience is with a new game. I'm personally looking forward to Ashes of Creation. No guarantee it will be good, but if there is any chance of getting that fresh experience of wonder/immersion, it's going to have to come from a new game world to explore
I played classic with some buddies that had never played before. I made it to lvl 40, they became raiders.
