Are you still playing?

people say blizzard killed this game but in truth it was the autistic, sociopathic gay virgin playerbase.

2019 I quit before bwl, this anniversary I quit at diremaul release. To me only 1-60 and HC are fun, the endgame and PvP is just ass in this game. Still love 1-60 (esp in HC) and will do it every 2-4 years.

I stopped after TBC Classic because Wrath and everything after it sucks dick.

nah stopped playing just after TBC launch

This

Na. SoD started nice but now it's old and tired. Classic was awful after TBC. Hell, even TBC sucked. The first 6 months of og classic was fun though.

Why don't they deriviate from one of the expansions and make something entirely new lol?

I just started a new HC character after not playing for over a year

That would be the same as confessing that they did something wrong

Because they make more money from the divorced landwhales that play retail when they release an uwu adorable cute mount in the shop than they would with an entirely new Classic style expansion.

I am
Guilds are starting to drop off now that ranking is over. AQ is going to murder Classic 2 the same as it always does
Looking forward to TBC Classic, I didn't have the chance to play it much.

any good server for casuls?

im replaying the actual vanilla wow on my singleplayer private server with 2000+ bots, im also gonna play TBC and WOTLK this way
I never cared about "wow classic" or "turtle wow" or whatever faggot shit that gets shilled here

But is anyone still playing pic rel?
I'm leveling some classes up for MoP. MoP is the one expansion that was both 1) good and 2) I didn't have much of an opportunity to play

What do the bots do? Just kill stuff? Pretend they're at the AH? Is the AH just empty?

simulate real players and do everything that real players do except talk to you (they say random bullshit in the chat to simulate a real server)
you have to find the updated version that has all these functionalities though and it's on some russian website, the one on github is an older version that lacks some functionalities I think, also WOTLK might not properly work on that

That sounds pretty cool. I wonder if AI could be integrated so you could actually talk to them.

1-60 in phase 1 and quit, probably the most fun online gaming experience I've had in decades. The experience was like lightning in a bottle. Unfortunately it fell off after level cap and I quit until covid. Played through naxx and then was off and on through the other expansions. Played a lot of wrath and I ultimately don't think it was as great as the first time around. I might have moved into the TBC > Wrath camp. But there's a special magic to vanilla.

Hardcore was a lot of fun, I didn't hit 60 though. I hit 30 on my first character, died trying to help my friend do his whirlwind axe quest and then quit after hitting 33 again on my second char. The Undermine was coming out and I'm a huge sucker for Goblin lore so I switched over to retail for the season until my sub expired. I hit 3k in M+ and stopped.

SoD was interesting, but deeply flawed. I'd like to see what Blizzard does for coming iterations of vanilla in the future.

SoD was amazing in phase 1. Everything after deviated too far from classic to be good.

I quit when my guild went for a merge right as naxx released. I fucken hate guild mergers

someone actually did that recently but im too lazy to update my shit

no I hate lgbhiv+ people

How would you know MoP was good if you didnt play it?
Just because a streamer told you so?

are you sure it wasn't the autistic, sociopathic gay virgin developers pushing faggotry?

last time I played WoW was BfA and this was the first time I actually got insulted by how much a game wasted my time

I liked what I saw when I played it I just couldn't play it very much
And I've talked to actual people about it, not just streamers. I have no interest in streams

More people are playing cata classic than fresh

ye i play every day. i'm addicted

Played one a while ago and I couldn’t tell if the bots are actually using the ah or not but it looks and acts pretty much identically to a live server filled with chink farmers. On the version I used all the dungeons and raids functioned except for a couple exceptions at the far end of wotlk, and since you’ll have gm commands you can force some stuff to work anyway. I blew through all the content in a couple months and since I didn’t give much of a shit about wrath or pvp the itch was scratched in such a way as I’ll never need to do it again.

you cant tell anything from seeing it

And I've talked to actual people about it

doubt it, MoP is favored by NPCs not people

Can you actually PVP? Do battlegrounds work at all? I think it might be pretty enjoyable to crush a bunch of bots lol

This is just not true. Cata is very dead right now.
This is one week of Classic fresh parses. The highest number of parses for Cata is 30k on Mage.

from what I saw all the battlegrounds and arenas are functional but you have to specifically command a bunch of bots to participate. other than that, they'll gank and you can set their reaction times to instant if you really want that wow experience.

shitskin tranilla players dont know Cata has multiple raid sizes and difficulties

Chilling on Anniversary until TBC is out. Zero interest in Cata/MoP since GDKP isn't banned there

Yeah and anyone who still plays Cata has 10+ alts they GDKP with, which only strengthens the illusion there are people playing, whereas everyone moved on to Anniversary/HC/SoD

Oh shit you're right if I add in 10m Heroic with the top parses being Hunter at 27k the total of both might be able to reach just Warriors in fresh
I don't know who you think you are fooling here

huge cope

whereas everyone moved on to Anniversary/HC/SoD

all 3 of those are dead

why are you lying tranny?
Hunters are at 45k in 10m heroic for the past 2 weeks, are you so desperate that youre just making up numbers?

all 3 of those are dead

Here's stats for Classic, which is both Era and Cata (94888 logs) that's been going since August 2019

ironforge.pro/population/classic/

and here are stats for Anniversary which launched in November last year (95019)

ironforge.pro/population/anniversary/

Cata/Era servers are primarily populated by goblins who cannot move due to all the gold they bought - sorry, "earned in GDKPs"

I'm using 1 week you illiterate mongoloid
Here is 2 week for classic fresh. Cata is nowhere close to this.

Thanks for proving that anniversary is dead
Middle of progression and it's at the same level of end of Cata a few weeks before prepatch

Leveling a character for it right now. I played retail mop but I only casually pvp'd and barely did anything else, want to at least clear up to ToT before I quit.
Might check out Anni when TBC pre-patch is out but I don't know if I have it in me to focus on multiple characters on different servers at once anymore, especially when there are other games I want to play too and leveling is such a huge timesink.

I am playing anniversary, since I never did vanilla endgame.
I will do tbc as well, because it was my favourite rendition of the game.

I'll drop it with wrath though.

Cope harder, servers that are 6 months old have more logs than servers that have been out for 6 years where raiding (and therefore logging) multiple characters is the best/only good way of earning gold due to gold buyers laundering gold via GDKPs

Any link?

I need this and the bot addon, right?
thanks

the bot stuff is included, you don't need to download it separately
