    I will forever be hit by incredible nostalgia when hearing the Elwynn forest theme. I remember getting into the beta all those years ago and playing 13 hours straight. WoW has been an incredible influence to my life.

      Same here. Many tracks in the older zones up to wrath make me swell up with joy all these years later.
      Being a teenager playing vanilla wow was such an amazing experience to be a part of. The people we shared that time with too.
      It's bittersweet knowing nothing will ever have quite the same impact again.

      Would of been 9 years old back then, i started playing probably about a few months or more before BC so it's great that i finally get the opportunity to level to 60 for once, it is quite the grind but i remember the excitement of getting close to level 40 leveling through Stranglethorn valley to get my first mount, games these days don't capture that kind of excitement and suspense, this was an experience that taught you about patience and reward and that the journey was more important than the destination.

      Most of us on Classic Era consider playing it exclusively a way of giving the middle finger to Activision-Blizzard and their influence on the game.
      If it was F2P we'd be overloaded with bots. We want a reduced subscription fee for Classic Era only. Right now it's considered paying to NOT have bots and gold farmers. Unlike Classic Vanilla from 2019, Classic Era does not have these things.

    Yes, and i'm going there as soon as i wrap up "A Dwarfs Journey to Northrend" because from what i hear, it's a lot like why i fell in love with the genre to begin with, with EQOA in 2003. The focus is on the journey and not being a min/max hero with 200 addons, parses, logs or any of that immersion killing garbo. No race to end game, none of that shit. Yeah you know, the reason why 99% of us even fell in love with this genre to begin with?

      It is. I just got back last week and it's been a blast. Feels like an actual community that gives a damn and is friendly. Free carry runs, people throwing buffs out and waving when you pass them by. No one complaining about waiting for dungeons. People actually take the time to talk to each other. You see the same people over and over instead of being thrown into an instanced version of a town or zone. Retail may have added a lot to the game over the years, but few appreciate what was lost. And classic brings all those experiences and feelings back.

    There was something I watched ages ago that gave an answer to the question "How many non-paying players do you expect me to spend server space/money on?"
    The answer: "As many as you possibly can."
    Like Asmon said, there will always be a percentage of free players that will transition to being payed players. And the increased player count both adds value for existing payed players (making them more likely to stick around longer) and attracts even more new players. It combats the "game is dead, don't bother" mentality.

    Vanilla have special place in my heart. I will never forget the adventures with my friends back in 2006 if I am correct. We started as humans,I made paladin(wanted to be a warrior,my friend picked warrior so we all wanted to play different class), remember the starting zone,music and quests,how epic it looked for me back then. I loved to explore every corner. I think people need some new world, that they can explore.mmo was always about adventure in some fantasy world that you can share with other people. I enjoyed wow the most before I even reached the end game.

      found that demonic portal... Kinda felt like one of these great historical explorers, because none of my friends had seen it... I called them over and we were just stunned :)

      So what do players do? They spreadsheet the fun out of the game, make it so you never, ever have to explore anything, never have to be challenged, never take one single step in the wrong direction, and addons that automate as much of the game as possible for them. Then they blow through an entire new expansion in 1 week and complain that LUL GAME BORING NO CONTENT HUR DUR.
      They don't just do it with WoW either, they do it with every MMO. As soon as the game releases they're datamining the files to make sure they're squeezing every single dreg of DPS out of their class, never equipping anything that isn't absolutely 100% optimal for that specific scenario, just strangling the fucking fun out of the game in every way imaginable... and then they complain that the game is too easy, or there's not enough content.
