Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
If you are talking about the sharding then it's just a blue post and all he really says is they don't want cross realm aand phasing is irrelevant since it's tied to quests and that they think they need sharding to balance population spikes in zones.
If they only have it in the starting area for the first few days I don't see an issue. If you run into situations with servers having multiple Kazzak/Azuregos spawns, redundant black lotus spawns, etc then that would be no bueno. Although it will be interesting to see whether the servers have caps similar to vanilla (2500ish) or higher, and what kind of impact that will have on open world resource farming.

When BFA first launched the very first area I ended up in was a glorious crazy mob of people. After moving out of that one specific area the world went back to feeling mostly empty where you push a button to be automatically put with people to do a thing rather than any of it happening organically. I don't want to see that in Classic even if the population is immense.

They confirmed progressive content gating at the Blizzcon panel, so at launch we will have MC/Ony/Azuregos/Kazzak/DM, and battlegrounds and honor system won't be added until BWL/ZG. Still possible to be changed but that's where they are right now. 16 debuff limit confirmed. Other shit too, look here: MMO-Champion - Restoring History: Creating WoW Classic Panel Recap

Not sure if this is the bugged first kill where the adds didn't spawn, or the legit one, lol

Are they actually going to reimplement the fucking terrible honor system where no amount of honor could advance you into the next level if all spots of that level were already taken by even bigger poopsockers?
It does sound like they are planning on doing the vanilla honor system, yeah. Have fun competing against your own faction!
If it really is not implemented until the same time as BWL/ZG though, I won't be even slightly tempted to push for PvP ranks so thats good. Bloodvine plus assorted MC/BWL stuff is better than the buffed epic PvP sets and there's no way I'd push for r14 in any scenario so those are a non factor. Maybe use 2 pieces of the blue set for a bit as a warlock since the set bonus of 23 spell damage is pretty good.

well it's not like every other aspect of the game wasn't about competing vs other guilds of your faction. The fact you couldn't communicate with the other side meant that inter faction rivalry was a bigger deal than cross faction
Hence training this guild when they tried to do a world boss

It's gonna be tough, if we end up with servers that have 10x the pop of true classic servers which is likely at the start they need to make herbs and resources easier to get. And I even think they need to make open world bosses easier to do or instanced, fuck eq has instanced all of that now because of how toxic a 'classic' server made up of all end game players is on that content.

Open world bosses in vanilla lead to some pretty harsh events too

Everquest has had a few different "eras" of classic servers over the last ten years or so and yes, at least a couple of them were a mess for at least some part of their life cycle.
They've been fairly grounded for a while now though. Most of the real bullocks has been weeded out.
Not really, it's more that you get these servers where the pop limit is 10x what the original was and everyone wants to raid you end up with 10-20 guilds fighting over these mobs where the true classic experience was that maybe 3-4 did.
The wow open world won't be quite as bad since so much is instanced and with 1.12 talents the resist gear from open world won't even matter. Trying to remember how kazzak and azuregos even had that was BIS, azuregos was for hunter epic I think so that might be contested a ton.
