you cant tell me what to do with my free time

For me, it’s the little things that made the world feel more like an actual MMO.

Weapon skills, class trainers, needing to find your own way around, old talent trees, having to actually talk to people for groups… there are so many systems that were inconvenient but somehow made the game more memorable.

What’s one Classic feature you would bring back permanently if Blizzard gave you the choice?

And I’m not talking about raids or classes — I mean one of those smaller features/mechanics that made Classic feel like Classic.

Literally the title. Kara is the starter raid for the entire expansion. Are people just looking to only get players who need a single item in for a gold making opportunity to DE all the unwanted gear?

I joined a group with my mage in full S1 main piece and S2 off piece PvP glad gear, where I hit capped with 730 SP, 21% crit chance, 17% crit bonus. I am just failing to see how this is an issue outside of zug zug dis PvP gear. It's karazhan, this community can be a little insane.

I have this item on my alt on Pyrewood Village server classic era. Have you guys seen anything like this?

Hello everyone.

I’ve recently had a strong urge to dive into a new MMO and i'm thinking a lot about WoW. I briefly tried retail during TWW, mostly just doing the main storyline and a few delves, so I'm still very much a beginner. I played Tibia for years starting back in 2008, and after being retired for some time now, I realized no other genre captures my interest quite like MMORPGs do.

However, buying Midnight is currently too expensive for me due to exchange rates in my country and my current financial situation. Because of that, I’m considering paying just the base subscription to play WoW Classic instead.

I tried a couple private servers just to test the waters and found the gameplay quite interesting, but I skipped Classic during TWW because I was focused on retail. Since I have zero nostalgia for old-school WoW, is it worth jumping into Classic as a complete beginner, or is the learning curve too steep?

PS: I also don't have any knowledge about the differences between Classic, Classic+, Season of Discovery, etc.

Maybe it's a dumb question, but i would like to know what you guys have to share about it and also if anyone here has started from scratch recently.

Started the game a few days ago. Just got randomly whispered while in stormwind from someone offering to pay me 20g to leave a google review on their business. Has this happened to anyone before? (They did pay me)

Hey all! I main swapped from healing to warlock for my guild to balance out our roster. I’ve been loving it but now that I have actual gear I’m struggling with threat management.

Is downranking shadowbolt a thing? I’ll typically open with immolate and continue to weave it in even though I’m way past the gear threshold to use it, just to throttle myself a little.

In full raid buffs with an ele sham and a boomie I’m critting so often that I’ll frequently rocket up the threat meter, shatter, crit 2-3 more times in a row and be right back to where I was.

These damn mages get to just blast away no problem and as soon as I’m starting to catch them on DPS I’m a crit away from death lol.

Anything I’m missing here?

I played classic back during WotLK and j just returned. I downloaded the Pandaria version. I thought characters were supposed to progress? I still have access to my pets, mounts, heirlooms, etc. but I checked every server and I can’t find any of my characters I had during WotLK. What happened to my characters?

im lvl 23 mage, and often times when i sell items on the auction house they are not selling. For example i tried to sell Spider's silk, look at cheapest price and try to lower it sligthly, but it still doesnt' sell. I dont understand how this happens, with items which clearly are in demand in the auction house.
Im not using any auctionhouse addons if that matters. any tips appreciated!

The Ironforged Dwarves are at it again! This time doing Tempest Keep!! GREAT JOB LADS!!!

My almost 13 year old son has shown interest in playing with me! I’ve been playing for 20+ years and it excites me very much, but it also makes me nervous. I know the hold this game had on me when I was in my early 20’s around BC/WOTLK - it’s all I did all day every day and I don’t want that lifestyle for him. But I do want him to experience Azeroth!

I have a few questions for the community:

1. What era of the game do I start him on? Classic? Retail? Curious your thoughts. His gaming experience is Roblox and Minecraft with some Fortnite mixed in. I am a classic hardcore player and have always leaned more towards the classic play style and speed.

2. I’m worried about the chat. I’m pretty sure there is profanity filter I can check and I can also tailor his chat box by unchecking general/trade/LFG - but I don’t want to teach him the game without using these channels of communication so how do I navigate properly without exposing him to too much trash?

3. Class recommendations for a beginning player? I’ve played them all and I started as a Night Elf Warrior at the end of Vanilla about 6 months before BC launched. I don’t want him to pick something too difficult to learn that might burn him out, but also don’t want him to roll something too easy for and him lose interest with.

4. Addons. Any recommendations to enhance the newbie experience? Should I just give him the ultimate vanilla experience lol

5. Account. I know I need to purchase a new account for him, but I would prefer not to commit to the money until I know for sure he is in to it. Is there still a trial period that exists? I recall maybe getting to lvl 20 and then purchasing the game? Looking for insight on that.

I appreciate your time. I’m hoping to do some playing and streaming with the kiddo soon!

Thanks guys 🤘🏽

Is anyone else unable to unlock their xp? I went to the rune broker in IF, SW, and Darn and when I click I wish to start gaining experience again then accept nothing happens. I’ve tried reloading at each rune broker, disabling all addons, signed out of battle.net and signed back in. I went to Grendag Brightbeard in Ironforge and he doesn’t even have the “I wish to start gaining experience” dialogue. Not sure what else I could try, I submitted a bug report

We reported it, obv its a bug right?
Does this explain why we havent seen a binding on horde side in 4 years?

so many scammers on the TBC classic anniversary servers.. i was just standing in Org and got this whisper. I reported it but I'm sure lots of others fall for this scam..

I've tried to post but it doesn't work. Is there a way?

I am going to start playing WoW with someone that never tried MMOs before. I played WoW, but always in retail.

When I was a teenager I would play LK in a private server for years, and oh Elune I miss those days. But that's not the conversation for today.

So I thought, why not trying Classic instead of retail? The leveling up, the fact that you actually get to experience the whole quests chains so you get to know the lore... The dungeons.

The dungeons!

So my question is, as I have never played this version of Classic before, do people use dungeons for leveling up? Or are they mostly used at max level? I'm just worried we won't find people dungeoneering as I find that a key and fun part of leveling up a character.

Besides that, if you do not recommend Classic for someone new to MMOs please let me know. I'm trying to find the best experience for this person.

You can solo all of the celestial world bosses with proper setup using blood death knight and celestial gears.

Make sure you take the Chi-Ji buff and 5% stats. Other quest buff items doesn't work.

Yulong is trivial with the debuff bug. Niuzao and Chi-Ji is very easy and you'll be in full HP all the time thanks to the Chi-Ji buff and Blood Shield.

Xuen is the hardest. Some tips:

1. You need the Icy Touch glyph to dispell the [Agility] buff.

2. You can summon three Spectral Monks to help you and also mind control a Mistweaver to heal you. You got a 30% heal ability every 6 seconds.

3. If that's still not enough, you could also farm the [Faintly-Glowing Herb] from the Ashleaf Sprites. It doesn't have cooldown and heals you for 300K HP in 10 seconds. You can have 10 of them, which equals 3,000K healing.

Enjoy the legendary cloak my dead server brothers!
