You also said there weren't server transfers, which is also incorrect because I transferred at level 60 on my original character to raid with a guild that better fit my times. This is where I made most of my gold during the actual Vanilla and BC eras honestly, was GKP runs with a handful of guildies carrying low end players through things like MC for their leaf/eye on Domo or ZG runs for trinket sales. GKP runs were common on my server in Vanilla where the players who wanted to be carried pooled in gold and it was split between the carrying players. All these super experienced players who had been playing on pirate servers for years and had every spec, item, and rotation down to a science who turned the raids from fun exploration into speedrunning are the cause of the lull and boredom on most Classic servers right now, not the retail players who may not have played back then.Īs for your other comments about there not being players boosting, this is incorrect.

The pattern to note here, though, is that the farther away we get from vanilla, the more the quality deteriorates.The quality of playerbase in Classic was actually brought down more by the Nost players than anything else.

I think the retail edgelords tried Classic, whereas Nostalrius had the actual vanilla players. Elysium’s servers never quite reached the sky-high numbers that Nostalrius did ( around 150,000 at the server’s end), but this should still come as very good news for those left disappointed by Blizzard’s decision.So has Classic successfully recaptured the vanilla mage of old? From the little time I spent on thei game, it was less social and friendly than Nostalrius. On the 4th of December, an elusive Russian team called Elysium Project released a trailer announcing their intent to re-host Nostalrius alongside their other Vanilla WoW servers. Needless to say, with the amount of time that’s passed and Blizzcon coming and going, those talks were a dud and didn’t go anywhere. Blizzard cited “intellectual property rights” and “tremendous operational challenges” as reasoning for the decision, and that they were “in contact with some of the folks who operated Nostalrius”. The server hosted World of Warcraft – separate from Blizzard’s official servers – in its original 2004 version, and was the most popular and successful of the numerous fan-operated Vanilla servers. Back in April, Blizzard sent a cease-and-desist order to the hugely popular fan-made server Nostalrius.
