World of Warcraft Vanilla Servers Announced

Recommended Posts

qvR4bq2.jpg

Blizzard just announced their plans to launch a classic World of Warcraft Vanilla server.

After shutting down Nostalrius, Blizzard has decided to work on a Vanilla server. The development will be complicated, because the game works on a totally different technology right now. Tell us your thoughts in the comments! Will you be playing on a Classic server to experience the good old nostalgia?

Good for them, hope they enjoy it and finally stop complaining about everything on live.

If it's going to be anything like RuneScape 3 and Old School RuneScape, the complaints will only grow in size.

Sad but true, people can't just be happy with what they're given I suppose >_>

I started my experience of WoW at private servers but got bored of bugs and went official. Stopped playing year ago cuz didn't have time for other games and didn't like this. If I would return to WoW then definitely for official servers not private

I never got to play Vanilla, TBC, or the first 3/4 of Lich King, so I am very much looking forward to it. I just hope they don't screw it up. They should only bring in the necessary quality of life improvements, like the additional graveyards, if any.

Well, if they brought the additional graveyards then it wouldn't be the authentic Vanilla experience, so I doubt they will.

Yeah, just like in SC Remaster. They probably won't change anything of gameplay

I am good with that, but they did make reference to small changes, so could be anything. Just hoping they are insignificant to original game experience if they do anything.

Fair enough, I have no real interest in it to be completely honest

They will not. It's a free gold mine them with not so much work.

Btw I really don't care Vanilla. I like to looking forward not backward and want a new content not an old. I really can't understand some people why so hard miss that.. it was not so good.

Currently when I get bored with end game content I level current alts or roll a new one. I'm at 49 slots taken now...with some being used as nameholders...so this will provide another avenue of play for me.

I loved classic and am looking forward to playing through the old quests that were removed in Cataclysm. Also aware of the "uglier" side of classic and I'm sure the graphics will be a jolt to the eyes.

So not something I'll be spending a ton of time in but will be playing it.

I would assume they'll keep it like that, yeah. As long as they don't buckle and let people from the community complain and create Vanilla 2.0, with what they think are good changes etc., it'll be fine.

It would. The cries for X and Y to be implemented are happening all of the forums and Reddit and it's not even in proper development yet. Fingers crossed they don't listen.

      Tama's Dragonflight Helper is a Weakaura that displays a weekly to-do list in the game and it's been updated for Dragonflight Season 4!
      The WeakAura is very useful for keeping track of everything in the game at max level. It shows you a to-do list with the weekly tasks, provides you with the locations of rares, super rares, information about your current Renown standing, and more.



      You will find Tama's Dragonflight Helper at wago.io. Please note that you must first download and install WeakAuras 2 to import the string.

      Cataclysm's Grim Batol has been added to the Mythic+ Dungeon rotation in The War Within Season 1, and one boss received a brand new model recently on the Alpha.
      General Umbriss, the first boss of the dungeon, got a shiny new model, which is quite different from his previous one. Below is a screenshot of the old a new model.

      Hello!
      Earlier this evening, we rolled out a fix-up for players who opened their Timewalking dungeon / Raid cache before 2:30 p.m. PDT today. Affected players have received an in-game mail with the cache replacement.
      Players who opened their cache after 2:30 p.m. PDT today should find that they received the intended reward(s).
      Thank you!

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.
