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!
Its taking a long time because blizz is focused on important things like making sure the lag is true to the classic experience. I swear everyone who works at that company is autistic.

"Summer 2019", but if they want to be authentic they should release on November 24th and have most of the servers down for a few day, with the ones up having queues, disconnects, loot lag, missing talents, and broken quests.

Wouldn't November 23rd, the 25th anniversary of the release of warcraft for ms-dos, be the best time to release wow classic. Also, i better bend down to pick something up and get stuck like that for a few hours, then it would be classic.

Of course, I forgot about the open beta they had in august 2004. That open beta killed EQ for me, wow was so impressive compared to EQ. And it didn't make your hardware look like dogshit.

I have strong memories of beta. Playing an undead and being mesmerized by their starting area and music... Then leveling a night elf hunter, getting fucked both on missing the entire talent tree, and the quest to get a pet didn't actually give you the skill to tame anything, so my level 10 hunter never got talents, nor could he tame a pet. Was a pretty trash experience having to melee most things...

I tried to find that old parody stop-motion gif where the kid loots something and is in perma-crouch forever. Google links I found are all dead (just like the classic servers after a month lul)

I played a undead female warrior, they had an amazing unarmed attack animation. I got to lvl 26.

Classic PvP Content Plan
Since we broke down the six phases of content that we’ll be rolling out for Classic, we’ve heard the increase in requests for PvP details so we wanted to get you up to speed on our plans there. As was the case when World of Warcraft originally launched in 2004, there won’t be a formal PvP...

6 phases as well. High Warlord garbage sounds like it will be in.

Having the honor system in while people level would change how that operates, although IMO it would be fine. Really the only thing that needed to be pulled out of phase 1 is Dire Maul and the Blasted Lands consumable quests (I'm guessing the consumable quests will still be in but at least the OP DM items wont). Kazzak had some strong items so I would've been fine with him out too, but I'm a little disappointed they didnt at least leave Azuregos in for some mark of frost world pvp at release. I'm guessing P1 won't be more than a month long

Because this was how the game was designed and should have remained forever. Kill people because you feel like it, not because you needed to be logged in 24/7 trading info for rewards.

It's a design issue. I loved UO's PVP for the randomness/rewards/consequences perspective. WoW's world PVP was pretty derpy, but I can understand the desire for random pvp. I can understand PVP from the point of trying to make it a faction-based/collective war element. I can understand PVP from a BG perspective. WoW from original to WoLK didn't seem to have this well-addressed. People would queue for BGs and derp around looking for random/derpy encounters while not working toward the objective, which put the more competent/instrumental players at a disadvantage.
