Nostalrius is coming back!

[Saludeen]

I played on the original Nost and I might reroll on the new one cause nobody knows how OP shadow priests are. And when i'm playing one i'm almost unstoppable 1v1. When I did the HWL grind on my hunter in vanilla it was literally impossible to beat my shadowpriest friend I ranked with, even with equal gear. Its just game mechanics. But my character on live is so awesome now its hard to go back to Nos. Blizzards shady scheme worked by shutting it down so people play Legion: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../Palfor/simple - Look how awesome my pally is. Grand Marshal glaive, best transmog, OP class, etc.

Is WoW cool? Never played it. Should I try Nostalrius or WoW live or neither?

Vanilla WoW paled in comparison to EQ. Sure it was good for the solo fights, but without something to fight over it got boring quick. Being able to fight for rares, dungeons and raid spawns made EQ's open world PvP exponentially more enjoyable.

Yeah, I'd have to put almost every classic open-world mmo above vanilla wow. It's got polish, but gameplay is uninteresting. Not that it's bad, it's an ok time waster, but at least it's not bad like older wow. But most definitely I'd list UO, EQ, SWG (pre-CU), EVE above it.

WoW doesn't even really feel "open world", more like a full on themepark progression level grinder. It's early success is mainly due to the Blizzard brand name, all their existing gamers insisting Diablo be recognized as an mmo, and Blizzard cashing in on that with wow to their fans that never really played an mmo before and got hooked on their first. As wow gained subscriptions from Blizzard fanbois, it became "popular" (trendy) and more people were drawn into it thinking it was the antithesis of cutting edge gaming.

Then hoards of "mmo players" flooding the genre begging every mmo developer to either clone wow (they were bored between expansions) or revamp existing mmo's to be more like wow. The ones that listened to the fickled wow players ruined their games and/or made pathetic wow clones no one wanted.

Then when failure turned to desperation, they started cranking out F2P's trying to capture this elusive army of wow players that really only wanted wow. And when they realized that the new mmo's may not be successful in stealing away players from Blizzard, they focused on big fat whale players: the few willing to spend big money in the cash shops of F2P's and development focused primarily on such players, those bored between wow expansions. The rise and fall of mmo civilization.

Nah, I had been on Nos for several months before it was shut down, I don't think I'm going to pick it up again.

1) Pally is a cuck class.
2) Your transmog is weak compared to mine.
3) I am still salty that I xfered servers/alliance to play with some IRL friends. FOR THE HORDE.

With the new world quests every day - Open world PVP is 100% more legit now than it ever was with Tarrin Mill f#ckery. Legion is pretty good and Nost seems like 500 steps backwards

Your transmog looks cool but pandas look like fat downies. And by "cuck" class you mean "owns anyone 1v1 except mages and disc who hard counter" sure lol. I started with disc and boomkin and they're so weak compared to my old pally. Except for boomkins in BG's. Too bad the only tolerable race to play is human.

Legion actually seems ripe for world pvp. I love all the variations with the trinkets and other items. If only Blizzard wasn't oblivious and actually created a valuable resource to contest.
