Nothing is going to stop Faerlina from being a complete and total clown fiesta but as long as people don't choose to be their own jailers my hunch is the launch will go fine. Log in, pick a server that isn't full and start collecting them bear asses.
But there's going to be no helping the dudes screeching about their 100000 person 27 hour queue as they make thread after thread about how streamers have ruined Classic but also Blizzard should increase the layering cap so they can go tongue Asmongold's sack while they chase and/or hunt him everywhere he goes at all times forever. Those people are bunny boilers and will be fun to laugh at from a safe distance.

Not a bad video overall, but the first two minutes are hilarity from a WoW kid.
"Nobody grouped because people sucked at video games back then!"
"Terms like CC and healer were uncommon!"
"Get gear while leveling in dungeons! How Novel!"
"The game is much more enjoyable leveling with other people! So great!"
Like it doesn't even enter into their minds that we had little interest in poopsocking to level caps with carefully computed routes back then and quest grinds were the novel thing in 2004.

It's when I go to sleep and wake up in 12 hours to a less crowded server. Go time. Honestly though, I'll probably wait a couple days for the new servers to be released.

Like this kid thinks WOW was the first video game ever created? Son, I was grinding mobs and CCing and collecting mad loots in dungeons back in 99' when you were probably still in diapers shitting your drawers. Some poeple even did this before 99'

EQ's design was in large part copied from text based MUDs-- particularly Sojourn, which I had played some as a teenager-- and that's why it was so good. EQ wasn't good because of corporate Sony geniuses. The best gameplay typically stems from indies and modders. WoW of course heavily borrowed from EQ.

wow was a simplified dumbed down version of EQ, and then they added the whole questing and quest hub sytem, which at the time was revolutionary. Also they incorporated PvP into the game and the entire battleground was also a revolutionary step in mmorpgs. Plus it was really well polished and optimized to run on low end systems for that time which also carried it a long way.
But they also dumbed down a lot of shit, and through the course of the first couple of years kept dumbing down the shit and "normalizing" everything fun from the game so it became more and more sterile as the game aged. It basically became a spreadsheet mmorpg at that point.
EQ was my first love and while I played WOW casually until WOTLK, I never felt the draw to it like I did with EQ.

EQ was the first to tie in the mud system into a 3D virtual persistent world, which was quite the feat in those times.

to piggyback on this, I will definitely be asking to speak to a manager.

First thing I wondered when I started WoW way back then was "who are the pullers" people were like "wut?" Zerg was the way people grouped.

WoW dungeon design simply did not warrant puller mechanics. You were supposed to move through the entire thing, and the groups of mobs you had to fight at once were pre-determined and couldn't be split. Your warrior shooting his +4 STR rifle at a group instead of charging was the absolute highlight of decision making in that regard.
