EPTIt's actually been really wild how often you're seeing the same players over and over and over again. There's a dude that i invited to tag mobs minutes after the server came up and we're still questing together whenever it's convenient, i ran into him like 7 or 8 times all across the world without even organizing it. There are literally dozens of players that i've seen 3, 4 times by chance whom i can name and have on friends now and everybody has been really social and nice

I’m personally looking forward to more people getting 60 and the price of crafting mats going up so I can start making gold. Yeah, this is one thing that is a little bit bad about this part of launch. It's so hard to make money on mats & items! Only items I've made a little bit of money off is selling guns that I make with engineering. | ||

Good thing i posted 6 Month ago that those classes are trash. Too bad that X amount of people tried to wrongfully argue against it Don't confuse something the 0.0001% does as being the only way to play the game. WoW has enough of that shit already. | ||

I decided to play on a “medium”server. When the subs start to dip I’m assuming blizzard will merge the servers to saturate the pop if need be. | ||

Many of them are scared of their experience being messed up by a >90% population drop and blizzard not reacting in time, that's why a bunch of my friends wouldn't reroll from the 1'st/2'nd pvp servers to the 3'rd one (Gehenass) when i wanted to do that. They stuck to the highest 1-2 populated realms in the region so hard that i decided screw trying to compromise and went for one that wouldn't have those queues almost entirely alone. Those dudes are still setting alarms for 5am to avoid the queues which are hitting 6-12 hours by noon so i'm glad that i drew a red line there and went on another server without em | ||

When you face problems in stranglethorn or hillsbrad, you could go to for example desolace or menethil. At times it doesn't feel great to be in desolace instead of stranglethorn, but actually even in desolace if you want some pvp usually some places have it like the kodo cemetry. | ||

Trying to solo level in any contested area is pretty much impossible (stranglethorn and hillsbrad are SO BAD). Queues are still pretty bad in the morning/afternoon as well. So we had some people roll Stalag and Herod. Some waited a few days and rolled on Sulfurus on Saturday - The other guys who were between 20-30 on their characters on those servers (and this was a significant investment) ended up rerolling to Sulfurus - Naturally the second time around they were almost twice their original pace. I wasnt going to play before the weekend and doing my retail stuff anyway. It was a great decision barely any queues and the population is high enough that it will maintain itself when the population drops. I gave it a very good go. Level 20 now and its been fine. I had to give it an honest try, but Ive decided I much prefer retail. Problem is the people I play with (many didnt do vanilla or barely played it) are so excited for it and its so new for them that I dont have much choice if I want to play with the people I play with. So I will probably be playing that over Retail during "free time" which there is alot of since I (like many other playing alot more classic) have hit the raid breakpoints they need to for their characters. I have to say though as expected the game is so slow and so mechanically unchallenging (is that a word?) that it feels a bit stale at times, were constantly doing dumb shit on purpose to spice it up. I kinda treat it like playing a board gaming online and mostly use it as an excuse to hang out with guildies. | ||

But man I'm having a blast with classic. I'm only level 19 so maybe I'll get bored of it or burned out, but I'm loving how freaking massive the world is. I'm a human and on a PvP server. I don't know how likely it is that I'm going to get ganked, people on my server were talking how it's happened to them but I couldn't tell if they were trolling or not. But roaming around Lakeshire knowing that something could go down is quite fun to me; I also entered Duskwood last night which was quite eerie given the area and how easily I'd probably die given I'm underleveled for that area lol. I have no idea how likely I am to get ganked there but I think the mystery of it and playing through this completely blind has added to the entertainment value. I also like how you're basically forced to group with people to get stuff done at times given the difficulty. I don't know what kind of reputation this community has, but I've found a bunch of cool people in game that I've grouped with to get stuff done, it's even cooler knowing that since it's a PvP server you have an incentive to assist others knowing that you're on the same team. The difficulty is no joke, every time I die I see a bunch of other ghosts wandering around lol. I've wandered around areas and saved people from death multiple times, and others have done it for me multiple times as well - it's awesome. I might be 15 years late but it's still a fun time  | ||

Though Redridge and Duskwood are contested zones, there's very little for horde to do in either of them, so your chances of running across an enemy player is probably on the low side. That being said, since it's so early in classic release and people are really embracing all kinds of silliness and whatever they feel like, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a few ambitious folk just ganking for shits n giggles in those lower level areas. Hillsbrad though.................. | ||
