It might hold up on its own and sure its going to be fun for people who want that "distinctively different experience" whatever that may mean to each person. (unless you have something more specific in mind with that term) But it was and will be a deeply deeply flawed game and I dont feel like I want to go back to it aside from some nostalgia shits and giggles. Atleast not in earnest. But I can see people who like that version and have been playing privates would enjoy it if they dont mind a slower game. I prefer the game as it is now. | ||

Not sure which class to roll though, I used to main a Druid but if I recall correctly they were really bad in classic: had to wear rogue gear if feral. Is innervate still in this patch, and if so, are caster druids mostly used to innervate the priest? It's been so long... | ||

They can DPS as feral but it's not great They can off-tank but it's also just not as good as warriors, biggest benefit being able to generate more threat Balance druid is more or less considered terrible It's been forever so maybe i forgot something | ||

There is nothing else but 1v1 and BG besides raid content. Well i guess farming herbs becomes endgame content as well then. Especially PvP is going to be fun when your realm has a heavy faction imbalance. Get ready for 2 hour queue. And then you are going to face a premade group | ||

And then you are going to face a premade group personally i just do wpvp at endgame, much like during leveling, there is lot of room for character progression past 60 with outdoor objectives and items that you may buy (BoE) or craft or drop outdoors. Can't get the highest pvp rank (still can rank well) or raid gear that way but you don't really need it for wpvp, you can beat the high pvp ranked geared or raid geared without it (gets harder with later patches i think, still doable). Plus a lot of fighting in wpvp would be against players who aren't geared like that or even some levels below etc. including 1vsX... | ||

I remember my indignation when I, when I, as a teenager raiding MC, diligently gave my Innervates to Priests until I realised: "Wait a second, I'm a spirit based healer myself!". Needless to say, I soon specced Feral as to not be entirely useless outside of raids and always gave the 'Innervate's on CD' excuse thereafter. | ||

I remember way back in the day waiting around warsong gulch for ages for a que. It was intense. I might go Rogue. Scissors beats paper. Scissors also beats rock. Until rock hits 60 and becomes an unstoppable killing machine. OH!!! Question, how long does an Alertac Valley match last in this one? | ||

We had a Balance druid on my server who managed to convince his guild to let him take cloth drops and he was terrifying in BGs. Hit like an absolute truck. Was pretty squishy even in Boomkin form though. They had massive threat and mana issues though in PvE iirc. | ||

I think it is much more reasonable to look at modern private servers, rather than think back to how it was back then to get an idea of what it will look like. None of which is inherently bad, but I think a lot of peoples nostalgia based expectations will be disappointed. Not because of the game, but because of the huge difference in the player base now vs then. | ||
