Thoughts of a redone Vanilla?

[element19090]

Hello all, First off let me say this is absolutely hypothetical and Blizzard pretty much has made it clear thus far they do not care for anything involving the classic game however my thoughts are this. Blizzards argument is that nobody wants to do 9-12 year old content in a buggy game, Now although I would say that is debatable, I was wondering what everyones thoughts are on The idea of Blizzard maybe taking the (Jagex Runescape) Route and instead of making Legacy / Classic servers, Building off of 1.12.1 / Vanilla and fixing bugs, polishing content and making more content based around 1.12.1/Vanilla. Now I cannot speak for everyone but I can at least say that for me personally It's not the content I miss in Vanilla, It's the open world Exploration and living universe as well as the world events that I miss from Vanilla, I miss the journey.

Now I will admit Raid content these days is without a doubt better as far as the actual content and fights, But I think that the world itself in Vanilla made the game great, I don't feel that World of Warcraft is an MMORPG anymore. What World of Warcraft feels like to me is a rush to 100 so that you can sit by your lonesome queue for dungeons and LFR while you talk on trade chat. It feels lacking outside of Raid content. There is little to no reason for socialization outside of Raiding. I play MMORPG's for the Multiplayer open world group gameplay. If I wanted a single player game I would play Skyrim...or Dragon Age....you get my point.


Added onto the list of Dislikes of the current state of retail are, Lack of Faction pride or Identity due to their being little to no difference between the factions, to PvP competitively you roll human...It's that simple...

Profession streamlining.

Rushed and Dull leveling to the point where even when you hit 100 you know nothing about your class.

These are just same basic overviews of my Issues with Retail currently and Ideas on Implanting a classic styled server without it feeling stale and old. Now we know that there is a Market for Vanilla for multiple reasons, I mean look at Nostalrius..6.4k players online yesterday. I personally don't like playing on Private servers and although I Would love something along the lines of Nostalrius, I only really feel comfortable playing Blizzard's servers. I cant imagine I am the only one who feels this way.


Anyway anyone care to share their thoughts?

I think there'd probably not be a market to excuse the resources required for something like this.

Edit: Which explains why it's all just hypothetical.

I would pay to play it, that said I doubt they would go this route (seeing as they have repeatedly said that they wont)
