>datamining practically didn't exist so everyone went off of rumors or speculation, creating much more of a community feel around the game (look up Ashbringer fishing as an example of rumors going full retard)
>game generated its own memes as if it were a whole website rather than just jokes making fun of the game
>people made fan videos, fan art and shit that blizzard actually promoted on their website, their website UI was actually kinda cool
>coordination at large levels was hard and tedious because 40mans + shit mics + no clue about the mechanics most of the time resulting in shit like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlLl6bBq584
>since nobody knew anything the whole world felt a lot bigger and was a lot more atmospheric
Basically you had a true, non-cynical community that didn't need a social media site parasiting off of it to maintain its existence. WoW was the social media.
The most you can do nowadays is play a private server with custom content that isn't datamined but you're not getting back that early 2000s mystery to games.

You could say that you were (un)lucky then. Datamining obviously wasn't so prevalent though that everyone knew everything about the game inside out, that much is evident.

My favorite part is how they're rotating while the background is static, meaning that's not the camera rotating around them, that's their models rotating in place.

Amazing. Everquest had broken ground on full 3d MMO but the combat was janky. WoW did better worldbuilding, better stylized graphics, and super smooth combat. Hanging out in a huge 3d world with friends was incredibly novel at the time, and next level comfy.

Seconding the heroin analogy, only I dropped below 130lb instead of gaining weight. My diet was a 1-2 bottles of wine, a bucket of ramen and a couple of packs of smokes a day. Wish I had taken a picture of my room for posterity it was a shithole worthy of troll battlestation threads.

When they did class stories there was not even gay romance options, much less tranny stuff. Expansions, sure, but class stories are decent (for MMOs that is).

Blizzard is doing what they do to all they're dying IPs. Give it to the B team and give as little resource as possible. Just like how to fucking ruined Star Craft once it wasn't their cash cow anymore.

Why is the camera shaking?
They do know it only exists in Hollywood because
a) they want to lower the rating
and
b) the actors can't do any stunts or suck at action scenes so the shaky cam hides their incompetence
Game devs can't be that retarded, right?

No discord, so all you had was ventrilo, which someone needed to pay to get a server for, mostly in guilds for raiding, and skype, which was like 2 or 3 people, so most people talked more in guild chat and in the game, making the world friendlier. Google was less advanced and no reddit for looking shit up, so everyone was on their world forums talking shit, warning about people who stole items or were trouble, or recruiting for their guilds. Also, most guilds had their own website, and if you wanted to join you'd be directed to their website by a gm or officer in game or see it on the forums and have to do an interview and fill out a survey to try and get invited.

Back then there was a lot less raiding for gold and carries as well, or at least I don't remember ever seeing it. Before dungeon finder people also got reputations for being a good tank or shit, good healer or shit, good damage dealer, or a rep for not ccing or being shit at it, some guilds got reputations at being trustworthy or scumbags, people would warn you about people and their guild that fucked them over. In pvp some people became infamous, like really big gankers. I remember on my world it was a rogue and druid, the druid was just really hard to kill, but the rogue was a psycho. There was also only really raiding and pvp as "endgame" and a lot of people did pvp to get the gear as a springboard for pve, so bgs and arenas were always populated. Also since flying hadn't been added or was expensive, pvp happened a lot more, and you were generally more paranoid about getting jumped.

Now anything is AMAZING so long as it isn't Shadowlands.
Hell, I'd argue in some ways, the writing of TWW is worse and more egregious than Shadowlands, but people would rather just ignore that.
Sure didn't have Zoval or whatever the fuck the bald dude's name was moralising at me that pride in my cultural heritage is le bad in Shadylands.

Progressive religious doctrine demands it. You cannot criticize a woman, a black, an lgbt, or a disabled for any reason. It is always discrimination, no matter what. Even if your criticism isn’t related to them being any of those things. It’s this toxic positivity that makes everything they release absolute dogshit. If you criticize Bob’s work, but Bob happens to be a homosexual, then you are a homophobe. End of discussion.

Because they are, without exaggerating, being produced by underpaid incompetents most of whom also are limpwristed faggots. Quality is not a priority nor are the people there even capable of it. Wrathgate was made back when Blizzard riding an all-time high and still largely staffed by competent people.

Times like these make me glad I quit WoW right before TBC dropped. I enjoyed vanilla then moved on with my life. I was always more into FFXI anyway, and while I view FFXIV as an abomination by comparison, I figure it's nowhere near the disgust a long time WoW player probably feels these days.

You have my condolences, friends.

It was better but still not an amazing game. It was incomplete, lots cut out, terrible if not useless class/specs, it had loads of issues.
What it was was the right kind of people starting to come online, happening to meet in the right kind of game at the right time. To make the right kind of community.
No matter how amazing an online game anyone makes, that's not happening again. Playing on online 20 years ago and the people who were there is nothing like now.

WoW is actually the reason whole genre went to shit and then died.
It became extremely popular despite it atrocious game formula and then everyone tried to copy it while lacking things that made wow popular.

It was just a novel concept back then. For most people it was simply amazing that you had this massive world where you could just walk around and meet people. The first year there wasn't really anything where you could look something up, after that you got thottbot etc, but you were basically on your own. The servers were just big enough that there were enough people to make it feel huge, but also that you always ran into someone you knew. No one really knew what they were doing, guilds were highly competitive and exclusive. It was just a great experience. The gameplay was also fantastic, the world building, the music. It's one of the greatest games ever made.

To think Rogues went from being one of the three most popular classes in the game capable of fun like this to where they are now, where even Monks are more played. They're barely even ahead of Evokers at this point, a class only one race can even play. Truly wretched.

I want to say most of the playerbase just ignores the story to push mythic keys or heroic raiding. Wouldn’t be surprised if over half of max level players knew nothing of the story/landscape aside from how to get to instance entrances.

They're just shitty, they press a lot of buttons to achieve less DPS than a paladin smashing his head into his keyboard.

They're just a terrible, weak class that feels garbage to play. They've been on the wane for years and TWW was where it finally completely fell apart since they are indisputably the worst class in the game with the worst hero talents, the clunkiest and shittiest rotations, they're STILL reliant on their cooldowns and stealth (in fact they made them even more reliant on stealth openers for damage) which is a major problem in stuff like M+ (tank pulls more mobs before you can restealth? Your DPS falls apart) and on top of that they require 10x the effort for the same DPS as other, much easier and much better together melee classes. They basically don't exist as a class at this point and if it wasn't for them being a legacy class and having diehards who will never play anything else, they would be at 1% or less playrate wise.

TL;DR
Current Blizzard can't balance and design classes for shit so Rogue is unplayable.

I played from 2004 up until near the end of Wrath. A few key differences back then compared to playing that same content in the Classic era:
Servers had actual communities. Due to technical limitations servers could not handle anywhere near as many characters compared to today so instead of queueing in a pool of tens of thousands you'd spam trade for a pool of the several hundred at best who were interested in running the content you wanted to do. If someone was deadset on a grind for a particular item there was a very good chance you were going to end up in a party with them numerous times when doing that content. This also meant your actions and reputation actually carried a degree of weight.

Everyone was retarded. Optimization didn't really hit its stride until TBC and even then it wasn't really fleshed out until Wrath. For a long time people were just vendoring Edgemaster's Handguards because every single person was convinced the item was trash when in reality that level 40 something world drop is best in slot until you down C'thun. There are a ton of blues that are better than epics and many epics which are just fucking shit but people used them because they were purple. Only a very small handful of bad items(such as "Vendorstrike") were actually recognized as being bad.

Being in-game was something you did to socialize. There wasn't any centralized chatting service that people used like Discord is today so if you wanted to talk to your guildmates you either had them all on an instant messenger like Skype(which very few people did) or you just talked using in-game chat. This is a large part of why MMOs back then had a fuckton of socializing going on whereas today you primarily just see advertising services or retards taking politics bait.

People were way more naive regarding the Internet in general. Whenever I needed to afk there was a certain excuse I used and it worked every single time without fail but today it wouldn't fly and I'd get kicked.

Comment was too long but to add to this "gamer culture" was way, way stronger. So much shit happened in the 2000s that would get you an instant ban today. It was way safer to talk shit in general and say certain things that are frowned upon now. This factor combined with the vastly increased social interaction in general gave communities a lot of character whereas today everything feels fucking sterile because one wrong joke now pushes you closer to a permanent ban.

My biggest issue with this scene is that WoW machinima had gotten really popular by this point so Blizzard took that as an excuse to try something lower-budget instead of a full on CGI cutscene but they weren't anywhere near the level of the better fan creations so even back in the day this looked low effort in comparison to what was plastered all over WCM.

I mean, we all would have loved more full on cinematics, especially for the end of arthas's story as lich king, but I always thought it looked good. It's less flashy like some machinmas were, which helps keep it grounded and it also allowed them to go for much longer as they are way less arduous to put together.
They did put more emphasis on the story with wrath, so I don't really see it as an excuse, but rather just a tool for climactic moments.

Blizz kinda fixed holy pally in DF, but by then I had already started losing interest.

WoW struggled to attract new players because you need quite a few add ons for the game to play properly. IIRC Blizzard is going to start to crack down on this in the next expansion and offer their own versions of certain addons to reduce complexity and confusion. The current expansion has definitely been a success in terms of bringing in newer players, however.

If you don't like the core gameplay loop of wow you still won't like tww, but there's a lot less mandatory bullshit to do.

What ruined wow was the damn addons and the casual game design
Addons makes raiding too easy and/or boring
Casuals (aka normies) make the social aspect of the game boring
Casuals demand the game to be designed around them, making the game boring in this process
Cash shop and blizzard selling gold is a thing because of the normies
Therefore, fuck normies

The game is completely new player unfriendly for reasons beyond addons.
It might be hard for you as a long-time player on the inside, but TWW/modern WoW isn't attracting shit for dick. At best, it's pulling in former players.

No it isn't. Holy shit wtf are you smoking? Class balance is in shambles, participation in M+ is at an all time low, people don't even want to do or care about the raids, and PvP is more or less dead and buried. The game is in an absolutely shit state in virtually every way, how can you possibly think it's "very good"? Fucking delusional.

Oldtroons think it's obvious that people will want to grind the same boring shit over and over to get higher item level gear. This idea is not actually sold to new players. Especially nowadays that there's literally no prestige in items and you don't really need it for anything other than harder raids and pushing keys (which new players dont think about)

NTA, but m+ is an extremely divisive topic. Some people think m+ should be the pinnacle of content, and that blizzard should balanced everything around it. Others think m+ is terrible and not very fun to grind out. The current expansion allows you to basically gear entirely solo if you want to. Of course its slower but many people prefer just to take the slow route without dealing with the absolutely awful m+ community. I don't call communities toxic because I think its overused, by the m+ community is extremely toxic, picky, and expects everyone to play perfectly especially the tank. Go try to learn m+ as a tank without any addons, pathing guides, just raw dogging it with the knowledge you learn from Heroic dungeons. You will immediately never want to touch m+ again. M+ dying out is not a symptom of game design, but rather the community itself killing m+.

I am very anti-m+. It's a rat race I participate in for ~2 expansions if we don't count the brief jaunt during Legion. At that time, it was already starting to turn me away, but I did it because friends, and because it was basically forced homework to get anywhere at all.
It was more tolerable before the weekly vault, which is probably the worst part, but it was never really any good, in my opinion.
It's just a bastardized version of challenge modes.
Alas, the only people remaining now swear by it, because most of the people that hate it were already ran off.

Yeah, of course they did, since the entire thing most people play that WoW do is just run M+ over and over and over and over and over. If you're not interested in that you quit the game, unless you keep your sub to raid log. PvP is flat out dead, it's amazing how completely and totally it's died. So what's even left aside from M+? That's the entire reason they added Delves, to keep all the players that wouldn't engage with M+ subbed. Except what's the point of getting high ilvl gear if you're not going to raid or M+ anyways? WoW has painted itself into a corner.

Yeah, that's because the people who don't fucking quit.
But I get that Blizzard is a conundrum. Their focus on their esports homework mode drove away everyone who dislikes it, and now only the people who do like it remain. Ergo if they were to now kneecap it, they'd lose those people too with no gaurantee that the people who left will return.
That's the entire reason they added Delves, to keep all the players that wouldn't engage with M+ subbed. Except what's the point of getting high ilvl gear if you're not going to raid or M+ anyways? WoW has painted itself into a corner.
Quick question from someone who last (sporadically) played in Shadowlands: how competitive is Delve gear? Is there any gear remotely as good as highest M+ level weekly vault gear?

idk what that is but i doubt its the kind of content im talking about. the main limiting factor in osrs endgame is skill, not really gear. in MoP i used to think i was pretty hot shit when i did the fight club thing before new tiers made it completely obsolete as any kind of skill challenge. another facet is simply the lack of skill expression in wow compared to osrs. the best players in osrs can reach like 10 actions per second while flicking their mouse 400 pixels to a 10 by 10 pixel area and wow doesnt really have anything that compares mechanically, so you'd have to balance encounters around numbers more so than precise execution.

M+ is preferable to running a raid with a guild that either requires 8hrs a day commitment or random retards who spend 8 hrs killing 2 bosses with 30min baby crying interruptions while 5 guys with open mic listen to turkish radio in the background while a wife yells. It's just a hassle compared to flashing some quick qualifications and getting a cross realm pug of some gamers you push some keys with.

If you're too shit to enjoy m+ casually while still performing at top lvl then there's always LFR or babycrying + open mic turkish radio + wife yelling raids.

Women just don't understand what makes combat cool, it's not in their DNA. It's like if a guy tried to put on makeup or something, it's not in our skillet so any normal guy just doesn't do it.
