They should honestly just keep expanding on Classic wow and branch off to an alternate timeline to move forward with. Instead of making WoW2, we have the same game in a complete different experience. Everything is hard reset, everything is new.

Another big aspect of Classic for me is there are no fucking Death Knights, no faggot Blood elf’s or Crash Landing Alien Space Goats, there are no fucking Jack Black Kung Fu Panda mother fuckers, no emo illidan wannabe Demon Hunters... “what have you given” Jesus fuck eat a dick.

But most of all once again you are just a random adventurer. You aren’t king shit champion chosen one supreme lord of the cut scene, that shit is gayer than 8 dudes blowing 9 dudes.

I don't have the hate of the new classes that booze does, although DH is kind of a stupid clas I'll.agree on that.

I REALLY love monk tanking

I loved monks in WoW. Only bad thing is it took like 7+ years for Alex to get over his monk hate boner he carried since EQ1 for Blizzard to finally implement them.

They can probably reuse some of the content. Like, after Classic, the next expansion is... The Northern Wastes (Northrend). Reuses the Northrend map, rewrites the storyline (there is no Outland, and there's not even a Cavern of Time). You can level to 70, and Dwarves gain Shamanism from the Iron Dwarves of Northrend while Taurens gain Paladin from the noble Taunka.

Then, you skip straight to meeting Pandaria (with some alterations again - notably no Siege of Orgrimmar, since Garrosh doesn't even exists) where you level to 80. And it keeps the Green Jesus fans happy, since he keeps the post of Horde Chieftain (because no Cataclysm).

Something like that. Keeps the costs down, and refreshes the whole content.

I love the irony of the wow classic thread talking non-stop about expansion packs for vanilla.

I had similar thoughts. They could just largely re-use the old geometry and quests with minor modifications (so areas are reachable without flying mounts) if they wanted to be cheap about it. This still has issues though; what do you decide on what to 'stay Classic' and what not to? Personally I thought reducing raids down to 25 was a terrible idea, but I don't see many people complaining about this, so I guess I'm in the minority. Attempting to 'Classify' the later expacs would result in a lot of disagreement, but I doubt any attempt at this would be worse than the current Live game, in my opinion, as I've hated most of what they've done to the game since launch.

I agree it was a terrible idea, reducing guild sizes reduced the feeling of community. Reducing raids to 25/10 made no fucking sense at all, the Kara drama was fucked.

What I'd like is for them to re-use content smartly, don't increase the level cap because new people coming into a game don't want to face an ever increasing grind and selling boosts is beyond retarded for an MMO. Take out flying and put flightpaths to places you need to get. Use the models and graphics you've developed but re-tune them for 40 level 60s.

Just ideas but whatever. Wasting time developing 10 levels of leveling content that's blown through in less than a week which also increases the barrier to entry and creates ability bloat that you eventually fucking prune and then sell character boosts so people can avoid the game was a huge mistake imo.
