>mfw those fags at blizzard announced classic wow years ago knowing that the homogenous community would be gone from the Vanilla days
Those new kids, those nostalgia goggled oldfags, they went into that shit with the very highest of hopes not knowing that it truly was both a product of it's time but more importantly a product of the limited scope the internet had reached back then.
"No hablo ingles" was such a fucking absolutely rare occurrence, so rare that it was treated as some manner of mystical event, a "Wow, really? That's fucking neato, never met someone who couldn't speak English." type of deal that happened maybe once or perhaps twice over all of Vanilla WoW's run, hell probably parts of TBC and Wrath too.
But for the Classic people? That was the norm, all of the homogenous community destroyed, language barriers all over the place, hell even the fact that many younger "americans" can't even write from their lack of literacy contributed too.
Classic and Vanilla were fundamentally different experiences and it was "nice" comparing the mostly homogenous vs diversity is our strength versions. Those chinks had the right fucking idea of walling their internet off from outsiders, I'm sure their multiplayer games aren't a constant state of *fire alarm beeps*, foreigner babble, and other bullshit.
