Wowhead probably has a guide, but if you're Horde my level 20 troll is about 120 herbalism doing northern and central Barrens.
I was there for beta and the opening of original WoW, and from my memory, the crowds were NOTHING compared to what have been on these WoW Classic servers. There was a lot of people, but it was no where in the ballpark compared to the thousands of people on each layer on these servers.
Now the one thing I have noticed is that "the crowd" is moving for the most part together in a level range. For instance, if you create a new character today during prime time on your server, you will not see tons of people there. You will see a healthy number of people, but you won't see shit tons of people around your level. Login to a level 20-30 character, and you will see a ton of people. In a week, they will be 30-40. There is a bubble of population moving through the level ranges.
That first week (hell even some in the second week) of Classic, I saw upwards of 30 people or more huddling around name spawns for quests waiting for it to spawn. When it would spawn, the mass of people would all swing once, and then someone would run away (the person who got credit). Before the next spawn, that person was replaced by a handful more people. It was insane, and I NEVER saw that back in origianl WoW Beta nor Release.
I'd happily give money to thots and titty streamers if that made somehow possible to have that waste of oxygen off the net.
Honestly, beta was what sold me on World of Warcraft.
I was beta testing both WoW and EQ2 at the same time, and being the die hard EQ fan back in the day, I was squarely planning to go the EQ2 route. I got in to the beta for both games, and... well let's just say EQ2 was the major suck of all sucks, but WoW was fucking amazing.
I was blown away with all the cool shit in WoW that was just flavor and quality of life improvements on things that we had been told for years was not possible in EQ1. It opened my eyes to what a quality developer can do with the right amount of time, money, resources, and WILLINGNESS to make the best game possible at the time.
Only makes sense right? i bet the amount of people who never played classic greatly outnumbers the ones of us who have, our returning players arent frothing at the mouth for this the ones who came back did it for nostalgia they came back to try and get the "first time experience" we all talk and gloat about.
I would like to see numbers of people who played classic wow that also came back for this, vs the amount of first timers from retail
I'll keep an open mind. It's been quite a while so my memory may be fucky, but I seem to remember that when they had xrealm but small battlegroups it wasn't such a big deal. It wasn't the same, but it relieved the queues to the point that it was a net boon. I just think there's probably another way they could have handled it. We've got 3-4+ times the population of those old servers on each server now. If faction imbalance is an issue causing queues, offer incentives to the underrepresented faction. We sure the fuck know that population won't be an issue.crossrealm BGs were definitely a thing in 1.12 unfortunately and I don't think they're gonna stray from that.
guess I'm kind of okay with not having 4 hour queues when half the server/other faction quits
Same here, but for different reasons. My group was excited simply because horde queue times on my server were fucking bonkers, it made PVP really frustrating. The xrealm bgs reinvigorated the game for us.I PvPd extensively and recall being ecstatic when they brought in the cross realm battlegroups. Was stupid steamrolling the same people for months on end otherwise. Cross realm brought in diversity and a greater challenge. Definitely do want. Single server BGs made the grind that much more boring.
I just picked up the herbs while questing. Skim the mountain edges and tree clumps while moving through the zone.Alright cool thanks, ill have to try and hit an empty layer, any specific spots or just roamed north to central barrens back n forth.
Also what builds are you guys going for warlocks been so long since ive leveled im only 29 rn but ive got 12in affl / 8 in Demo , ive kinda wanted to go all affliction so i get siphon life asap then go into demo tree, what do you guys think?
Siphon isn’t worth casting when you’re grinding single target mobs that die in ~12 seconds but it is great for multiple target pulls. You do want to beeline to Dark Pact because drain tanking with a succubus is much better than using a void walker at 30+ and draining her mana with a DP or two between mobs on top of lifetap means literally zero downtime.Alright cool thanks, ill have to try and hit an empty layer, any specific spots or just roamed north to central barrens back n forth.
