        Not really true.
        In 2014 (around Warlords of Draenor) player models (like the models they used in the show) were revamped. It's a pretty significant difference, but I prefer the original.
        Also, the newer the content you're playing the better the models. It's not like if you're playing whatever the latest WoW content is you're getting the same models as vanilla.
        If you go to some areas that haven't been touched since vanilla than the models might be the same, but it's not true to say that the game hasn't undergone any graphical changes.

          The worst part about the whole mishmash of models and textures not all being updated is when you have a newer character model wearing old BC gear that’s low texture trash.

        I went to Blizzcon in 2008 and looking back it's pretty nutty just how much Blizz had going for them at the time. Was a few months before WotLK released so there was playable betas and massive hype for it, Starcraft 2 was also in its beta and there was player testing stations for it, and it was also the first real glimpse at Diablo 3 which had a playable alpha testing station. That reminds me that Diablo 4 just started some kind of beta yesterday

      Playing the game wrong and finding new shit in the world was way more fun than doing the dungeon grind meta stuff. When there actually was a world to explore and mystery, it had a lot to offer. Meanwhile dungeons can be fun, but really once you run out of reasons to grind, it's ogre.

      It was, mainly because no one knew how to properly play the game, so everyone was figuring it out together. People were helpful to each other and the community was overall very nice. Eventually people minmaxed the fun out of the game and the devs kept making it more and more casual friendly effectively killing the need for a community.

        if anything the game became less casual friendly if you wanted to do anything significant. Dailies got to the point that you'd legiimately be left behind if you couldn't do them everyday. Raids got substantially harder.

      Your age played a big role in it.I still really like video games but they lose a lot when you start to get a sense of how big they realistically can and cannot be, and see that every one is a finite amount of real content and systems.

      If you played this young enough that you didn't on a gut level get that though Wow genuinely felt like a portal into another world.

      I started playing during Wrath of the Lich King and there was a real sea-change around that time, because towards the end of when I was playing they introduced Dungeon Finder. This is objectively a good thing from my point of view now, less droolingly enthusiastic as I'd be about the game and more focused on not wasting as much time. But what Dungeon Finder does is vastly reduce the need to travel the overworld and explore it, which means for new people now who would be young enough to get that sort of magical immersion experience, it won't really happen because the best content is all about queuing and teleporting.

      Yeah. Me and my friends would all get together on Saturday, buy some beer, order some pizzas, invite some chicks over, turn on some college football, and play WoW for several hours straight. I think that was the peak of human civilization for those few Saturdays in the fall of 2007.

      yeah it was great, still play wow classic vanilla today, its fun in the same way Baldur's Gate, Morrowind, Fable I, Everquest P99 are fun in a sense that they don't make them like they used to. A lot of it is nostalgia playing a role in it, but they're probably objectively better games than most of the stuff they're putting out today. Especially in the mmo genre. I was born in 1992 so i lived through the golden age of video games 1996-2007. a lot of it is nostalgia though, in the same way people still playing Ocarina of Time or Super Mario 64 are mostly driven by nostalgia, never played those games as a kid so i never could get into them now as an adult. Sorry to break it to you zoomie, but if you tried playing these games im sure you'd still find enjoyment.

        It helps that there was nothing you could do with IRL money that would influence your gameplay experience in any way other than buying gold from some sketchy site and risk having your account banned, which turned most players with a max level character away from even trying it

      You sort of need to understand the climate of online gaming at the time of its release in terms of MMOs. It was the first mainstream accessible MMO. Before WoW, in the genre of MMOs you had games like Everquest and Ultima Online, both of which would be difficult for your average person to just pick up and play. Because of this, and perhaps because it was just before the genre came to a fever pitch, no one really struck gold until WoW. WoW was the perfect combination of the genre mixed with gameplay that pretty much anyone could figure out. It also wasn't innately difficult. In Everquest for example, a sort of meme at the time was that a rat could kill you at level 1. Nothing of the sort would be commonplace in WoW. MMOs didn't really have an entry level before this point, and WoW strolled up and took on those reins.

      There was also an unbelievable amount of hype among the MMO community.

      i played on nost. elysium, kronos, and classic wow.
      never played vanilla past level 20, didn't have a 60 until elysium
      classic wasn't perfect and probably the worst of all 4 in terms of mechanics besides pathing implementation, but it still had that community feel of old MMOs.
      due to COVID, even with a full time job, i had time to level a 60 of every class, eventually became GM of the server first MC/onyxia guiild if only to keep the guild together for the end of classic, got realm first naxx clear at the finish line.
      you're forced to interact with people of your own faction and against the enemy faction due to the difficulty of the content (though blizzard toned everything down in classic in this regard as they gave us 1.13 itemization at the start out of pure laziness, but this is still very true in the early phases).
      classic also had the phenomena of casual players adopting sweaty private server strategies for raiding, it was quite bizarre, but it made the world even more alive as everyone realized the value of world buffs and the player interactions that come from that were a huge driving force of the server every raid week.
      the world feels dead past vanilla, all these systems get put into place that take you out of the world (BG queues no longer punish the popular faction and force them to search out HKs in the world, arenas, flying mounts, etc.)
      i would do it all again, nothing to do with nostalgia, but unfortunately there will never be another international server with the momentum of classic or the old huge private servers.

        I figured Blizz would probably do re-do this classic/BC/wotlk thing again in due time..I skipped out on what they did the past few years, but I'd consider playing next time if they do another restart from vanilla (and if they do do it again, I can't see a lot of the junkies not being up for another round)

        RuneScape was at it's best when it was about people interacting with each other to help each other make progress somewhere in their own way. It was a game of community and trading.
        Nowadays it's just a fricking glorified clicker and any player interaction is just downright abhorred, it's a game for people to play on their phone while they do something more interesting. I wonder how Jagex feels knowing that nobody genuinely wants to play their game?

      No, I had some of my most favorite video game experiences in it but still hated it 90% of the time. The best parts of the game were exploring or fricking around with people. Grinding and raiding was gay but you had to put up with it to get gear. I still watch nogg-aholic every few years for the nostalgia rush though.

      There has always been a mix of good and bad episodes with Southpark. Their strength was always quick turn-around on happenings. They fricked up with Trump getting elected though because you can tell like every other mediagay they thought he'd lose so they had no idea what to do with the moronic Garrison storyline that they set up or whatever that was about. Story arcs in south park were always a mistake but that's when it finally caught up with them.

    Never played WoW, did it have a plot? Like if you played and did quests did it feel like you made a difference for the Horde or Alliance?

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      >Never played WoW, did it have a plot?
      It had a good lore, but you have to just live in the illusion that the lore ended with the second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. Everything, after Arthas death (the Lich King), is just a horrible train wreck.
      The later expansion by Nublizzard completely murdered the Lore beyond recognition, and I really mean they absolutely annihilated everything.

      >Like if you played and did quests did it feel like you made a difference for the Horde or Alliance?
      In the later expansion, you literally are THE CHOSEN ONE. In classic and the early expansion, you simply were a small gear in a gigantic machine.
      You had your impact on the zones, your faction, but it was way more subtle.
      You were just a simple adventurer traveling in the world, and not the literal chosen one written into the lore.
      Many of the classic quest are quite iconic, but Blizzard nuked them after Woltk.
      The conflicts in Classic are on a way smaller scale and not a universal threat.
      Each Zone had it's own dangers and smaller conflicts.
      Those small missions, or stories felt way better than simply being "XxxChosenGoD1337" and saving the world countless times.

      In classic wow you were just a random adventurer. There was no real story, but if you read quest text there's a somewhat interesting story in the Human area about how VanCleef built stormwind, then got israeliteed out of being paid, so he started up a pirate group of laborers in Westfall, took control, and then you go and kill him. Then there's a missing diplomat related to it that you try and track down, and the story abruptly ends. Stormwind is also secretly controlled by a dragon, which is alluded to with the diplomat questline and you go through a pretty big chain to free a prisoner, and then you go to confront the dragon, and he gets murdered.

      The human storyline is the most fleshed out, but most zones/races have similar storylines you sort of piece together if you read the quest text. The Horde has a pretty interesting storyline about cleansing wailing caverns in the barrens, which leads into you finding the silithid, and wondering what the frick they are, and you get some quests here and there until you finally get to Silithus at lvl 55 or so.

      Burning Crusade's story was complete nonsense bullshit, and Wrath's was pretty good for its age in terms of telling a focused, coherent story in an MMO, but it doesn't really hold up. After Wrath the story is complete trash.

      Yeah. There used to be this accomplishment you could get by sneaking into an opposite faction's city and killing it's king or whatever. So you could be minding your own business trying to make bank at the auction house when 100 horde show up and just start killing everyone. One day I was outside of Stormwind when I saw a massive group of horde players using summoning stones to assemble a small army. I get back on my horse and ride back to Stormwind to alert everyone. Word spreads throughout the Eastern Kingdoms and we put together a squad to defeat the Horde and prevent them from entering Stormwind. I was basically Paul Revere that day.

          No I grew up in MD and He grew up in PA we met at a Halo Lan party Hosted at Fort Detrick. We just kept playing video games together I mean we didn't talk for a while because I dumped my Xbox after Xbone was announced and he didn't own a PC until around 2015 my steam account was the same as my GT and he sent me a friend request. Now were buddies again and we play vidya semi regularly.

    I started in Wrath and honestly wished I had started in BC. Burning Crusade’s aesthetics were, in my opinion, gorgeous. Vanilla felt like a true fantasy game experience. Anyone ever play on Dalvengyr? It was my home server until I stopped being a scrub and migrated to a high pop server for better raid options. And yeah, min/maxxig IS fun if you’re good.

        >what I would do to be at the tail end of vanilla eagerly waiting for BC
        I had mixed feelings about that - excitement at the new xpac but kind of depressed since my guild was only like 2/3rds finished with AQ40.
        Was neat to fully see Naxx later with wotlk but also not quite as epic feeling as the original 40 man raid, especially with how much more utility each class/spec had compared to how limited characters were back in Vanilla. I think I would have been content if my guild had at least downed C'thun but we just didn't have that extra month or two that might have pushed us over the edge. My guild pretty much stopped raiding and our lone thunderfury MT bailed when the 2.0 preTBC patch came out, so there was a weeks of nothing happening and just waiting for the xpac to drop. Just felt a little unfulfilling to wrap up the vanilla experience that way, but I'd only started playing at the beginning of 2006 and still felt like I got quite a lot done in around the 9 months I spent playing. If I could go back I'd have started playing in 2005 instead of 2006, though my family only just bought a computer that could even play the game like 5 months prior to starting out

          Vanilla/TBC was such a perfect escape from my IRL at the time
          During the summer before high school, my parents decided to move to the other side of town, maybe 30 minute drive away from where I grew up. I was a fat 14 year old loser who was having a miserable time in 9th grade, having no friends or anything to do except replay Final Fantasy games afterschool. Then in the middle of 9th grade I finally learn about WoW from G4 and start playing. For the past 6 months my thoughts were mostly preoccupied with wanting to die etc, but WoW managed to breathe new life into me for the next few years and actually made me feel good about being alive. By 2009/10 the honeymoon phase was over, but damn what a few years those were

            If anyone's reading my blogposts, the area that my parents moved to was an undeveloped and new/upcoming area on the edge of town surrounded by nothing but desert and nothing to really do if you left the house besides walking the sidewalks. Being cooped up in the house ever since the move was not fun, and WoW alleviated that feeling..My parents lost that house around 2010 due to the whole real-estate market collapse that had been going on the past few years

      Wrath was leaps and bounds ahead of BC in terms of game design, but BC was still amazing the first time through. You were too distracted by being in another world to think about how much zangarmarsh fricking sucked and the quest markers lead you underground or how red and boring HFP was

        You mean zones? Eh you’re sort of right, but by then they had perfected flying and how to build a world around it. Still- I disagree somewhat. Wrath’s environments were somewhat repetitive whereas BC’s were more varied. And Wrath suffered from too much copypasting- how many times were the Valkyr’s models reused? Wrath’s soundtrack blew every other expansion’s out of the water though.

        BC was the last time that the game didn't handhold players through content. In Vanilla/BC the devs just made the content, threw it out there and said "enjoy!". I understand that by Wrath Blizzard wanted to let casual players be able to experience most of the game too, and there was still plenty of challenging content if you were in a serious raid guild, but I really like the feeling of the original game+BC with how the entire playerbase was basically on even terms with the game..I think WotLK or Cata is also when individual servers really started to feel less like an actual community compared to how tight-knit they felt in vanilla/BC. It is what it is though, I cant fault them too hard for the game changing over the years, it's just the experience was so radically different in just 5 years

        Zangar was a normal part of all my characters leveling routes, and the repuation rewards with cenarion expedition were really good for druids (no surprise) but had cool shit for everyone, and the hyppogryph was worth grinding for

        also the pvp around Coilfang was just apart of the overall experience...then you have the bounties for the marsh stalker. the sporregar dudes. maybe you're just a casual?

    I tried the 2019 re-release of WoW, but anons were right -- the community is 100% dead.

    From the very starting zone, I would always chat with fellow levelers, but they seemed so quiet compared to the mid 2000's. It's like they instinctively knew typing was an xp loss, so they kept it simple and to the point. I remember meeting this one guy that I got along amazingly well with, but we never got to level together much at all, because the fricker wouldn't stop rerolling. He couldn't figure out which DPS god class he wanted to play for endgame. In the end, he chose warrior and no-lifed it to 60 in under a week.

    I think I quit at about lv 37. The world felt cold and empty.

      When I first started my first character was a human warlock that I got to like level 12 and said "this isn't for me", so I rerolled a dwarf hunter and started over. A few weeks later probably around level 25-30 I was in Ironforge going to the flight master and I saw a friend that I'd met in Elwynn forest and quested with for a few hours..I ran up to him and was like DUUUDE, do you remember me, we did shit together, how's it been man" We stayed friends and did stuff together for the rest of vanilla..It just kind of blows my mind that we both happened to start playing the game the exact same day while happening to pick the same realm, only played together for a short while in the starting areas/running hogger, but then we stayed friends who would talk at least a couple times a week for the rest of the expansion. He was my first real WoW friend, his name was Jericho

      I always played on the horde, when I played on retail from Classic to Woltk.
      I started to level alliance on P-Servers years later and the defias hit so abnormally hard. You are basically fricked if you can't kick or cc him.
      I honestly can't think of a horde equivalent, that killed so many new players.
      Even Stitches,or Hogger were all alliance and killed a ton of new players.

      The Sons of Arugal might be the only Horde low level mass murderer.

    Played around 1y of vanillia and 3months of BC. It was a blast and vanillia eas probably best game expirience in my life. It was engaging and so large contentwise. I did some pve but mostly pvp, so i missed some raids and few dungeons. After BC repeased I leveled up to 70, do some stuff but overqll game turned bad for me, dungeons were uninspiring and arena didnt do it for me. Have the same run with classic, around 1y of playing + 2 months of BC. Done all the content ive missed, dungeons, raids, found friends and nice guild. Ive got the same pvp rank like in og vanillia, but when people start to behave like meta sweaty neckbeards I just said goodbye. Og vanilia was filled with poor players, but it was nice, people learn to play themselves, in classic everyone was more or less of metahomosexuals that only care for parses. Ive got some guildies/randoms that had tantrums over me parsing better than they multiple times, toward the end. Fame became a race to 60/70 while afterwards a contest who will crean the endgame first/fastest. Still had my share of fun, but the feeling of discovery of og vanillia was mostly gone. If I would recommend wow to anyone it would be orginal game (no dlc), pick a class that can do 2/3 roles and take your time.
    Wow have some of the best dungeons in mmo, blackrock depths deserves a reward on its own. Sadly the current gamer attitude, chinese farmers and nublizzard taken the tool on every version of wow. Im happy to reexpirience some stuff that ive missed, but wouldnt waste any more time on it now.

      I'm 30. You probably heard all the common sense advice already. All I can say is to think carefully of how much time you spend playing vidya and lurking online. One year ago I decided to cut gaming entirely from my life. It wasn't easy and I had a few sessions since then, but it was one of the best decisions ever. Vidya and the internet is not a long term solution for whatever life problems you might have.

          It's not the same imho. Tv will never capture your attention and effort the same way as gaming does. You can watch tv for one hour and call it a day. But gaming feels never enough and new games offer dozens and dozens of hours worth of content.

      WoW (and other classic MMOs) heavily encouraged actually needing to make *friends* to actually do lots of the games content. There are differences to an IRL friendship and an e-friendship but the kind of e-friendships forged in World of Warcraft back then were a lot more defined then say friending someone in an online FPS / game with lobbies and matchmaking. Being in a raiding guild for a prolonged period of time meant you were probably going to spend 15 or more hours a week playing with this same group of 25 to 40+ people, so you'd also just naturally find out things about these people and get to know them a bit better than you on average would in other types of online games. 1 of the more major differences though is it's almost inevitable that the friendship is gonna drop off at some point due to someone quitting the game or their life circumstances changing, so it's best not to get too attached to begin with..I think getting too attached to other people you meet and having friendships fall through over and over again also explains a lot of the coldness that some people feel towards modern e-friends, and even I'm someone who just doesn't try to be open or make friends anymore in games. The friendships you'd see in classic WoW were very real though, just not as physically tangible - you'd often spend more hours a week playing with these people than you would spending time with your cloest IRL friend, unless you were really close and seeing those IRL friends near every day

Mid 00s is around when just about everyone had at least 1 computer with internet connection at their home or even if they'd played some online games prior they were likely small group or FPS games. If anything it's thee MMO that ushered in a new era, the golden age of MMOs, but it also kind of killed the MMO genre

    They keep arcane brilliance up themselves considering how long it lasts and no one would ever say the full word intelligence in this situation… perhaps they would say int at best… also even if I didn’t play that game I would’ve done two seconds of research or had someone in the room who played full time, that is what Stanley Kubrick would’ve done… yes even if he was doing a comedy gig he would still put at least bare minimum in effort into researching the thing he was trying to parody.

    Even at the point this episode was made “they” killed real parody because it was a threat to “then”.

    TLDR Mel Brookes would be rolling in his grave if his bones weren’t still rattling around from satanic magical health care you don’t have access to… even if you have a little money and insurance. Most of the low level elites don’t even get real healthcare… do you think a long illness free labor race life is profitable and easy to control?
