[ttaM]

Oh lord, you're right Gee. How did I miss that!?

Thanks mate.

 

[Sasahara]

Had to use an abbrevated name for my main. :/

2 other name were ok.

Pleasure dude, it caught me out previously.

Also remember to join the OcUK discord guys, we've got a WoW classic text channel and the mods are making us some voice channels closer to launch - https://discord.gg/sNtDphD

OcUK Battle.net group here too - https://blizzard.com/invite/RRyRzBUgPl

Going Horde on Shazzrah mains being Lazarius (Tauren Druid) herb, alch and Necroville (ud lock) tailor, enchanter.

 

[Throrik]

Managed to snag my old initial WoW names - still deciding whether or not I should continue with Mage like I did back in the day or go Warrior, but then again maybe Druid too. Oh the choices.

 

[Threepwood]

My old names were also taken, but I want them to be female this time around anyway (I spent years looking at a male orc's butt... never again) so I added an 's' on the end and it fits so I'm happy with that.

Classic Game experience from the 1st second. Crappy servers, login attempts and queues. Just like when retail went live. They have delivered.

lol, this.

 

[Ske]

Well, that was worth staying up for.. not!

Luckily Nick-fury got in early doors and reserved my name. If I had known that beforehand, I'd have been in bed by 10:45!

 

[adam cool dude]

Managed to hook up with my old Guild mates from Vanilla. Across both factions we must have 50-60 old school players. It feels strange talking to people again you haven't spoken to in nearly 15 years! We are rolling Horde on Shazzrah. Reserved Troll hunter and Undead Warrior.

 

[DampCat]

Got my names on Pyrewood PvE. Looking forward to release now.

 

[martin363]

logged on this morning on Shazzrah, got my old name for Alliance, no issues.

 

[Diddums]

Gave up last night, but was up at 4:15 this morning so had another go. Logged right in and created Diddums the human warrior on Shazzrah.

Looking through this thread it sounds like launch is going to be great fun! Especially as it seems that Blizzard have fallen into the trap that all MMO producers fall into, which is massively underestimating how many players prefer PvP servers to normal.

Just like the grind, we have probably all forgotten the grind in reality...

Same, whenever possible its just got to be female! I had well over a years play time looking at male ass, it scared me for life.... lesson well learnt!

It was just the login and authentication servers that got stressed.
One change they have made from classic is that they have implemented there sharding tech (just not used it much in the betas). This will start up and shutdown extra servers for each zone based on demand.

Blizzard brings you Wow Classic. Just like the old days in every way complete with server issues.

This

Only you could bypass the queues back in the day

Might be interested in getting back into this with all the hype, I am a bit confused as to what I should expect however. I only ever played some Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Litch King on my cousins account so is that the Wow that is coming back/is that the current style. Apologies if this is the wrong thread for this question.

It's Vanilla. So Expect a grind.

It'll take days to level to 60, gold is hard to make, riding begins at 40 so expect to walk a lot, no unlocked flight paths.

End game is hard, lots of grinding for pots, boss specific armours etc.
