As this was being discussed in the other thread and the server goes live in a few weeks I thought we should just make it's own thread.

Launch Date: 26JUL25

I would have preferred to see the 40-mans get knocked down to 20, but 25 is acceptable. Still going to be worth playing seeing as how Blizzard's version is going to be over a year out at least, assuming they make an announcement at Gamescom in August. If they wait to announce until Blizzcon next Sept (2026) I wouldn't expect to see Classic+ from Blizz until 2028.

I am also writing my own addons this time (mostly) as a kind of added experience for this one. I never really had the time to actually learn Lua but today's coding AIs make it far easier. I have not tested these yet but my goal here was to just make them work as I always personally preferred them. Rather than deal with addons as I had for years that don't do exactly what I wanted them to and I just had no alternatives.

I'll keep updating them here. I put most of these together this morning just trying stuff out.

I've done Human Priest in Vanilla - WotLK, Classic, SoD, and Hardcore. Don't think I can bring myself to do it again. Probably rolling Horde this time.
That's a lot of priest man. Just couldn't get out of the comfort zone? Or going to play a Horde priest?

Priest is my favorite class by far. I've had other alts, but Priest is home.

Probably go UD Priest.

Shaman is mine. But I've been meaning to actually play a warrior for a long long time now.

Seems interesting I guess but I'm not familiar at all with tbc class mechanics/balance. Having 61 talent points but only being lvl 60 classic+ also seems weird.

Were feral druids a viable class in tbc or not until wotlk?

I may have my timeline off, but I seem to remember Paladin tanks coming into their own in TBC. Then feral tanks were a thing in WotLK

I played feral in tbc and enjoyed it.

Oh nm, just read their feral changes. Kill wolfshead helm but then change furor talent to do the same shit. Like they are missing the point. Having to constantly power shift and cast gift of the wild fishing for omen procs is fucking gay and its the fucking central gameplay loop of this version of feral druids.

I don't know how blizzard themselves in their official classic server during wotlk were the only people to figure out how to make feral work then of course they deleted it when they went to cataclysm.

Just by reading this Discord they do use TBC stuff so I get the comparison but they have supposedly Classic Plussed everything so it may not be a 1:1 at all.

Still on the fence between Dwarf Warrior or Dwarf Shaman. I haven't really played my Shaman bae since WOTLK and some in Legion. I am most intrigued that they introduced Stormstrike but also support for continuing to use 2H. Which I really like.

Yeah but Epoch is live this month. Who knows when Bronzebeard is coming.
Im playing ascension classless for that itch. If Im gonna be stuck with tbc might as well play a completely custom class that circumvents the shittiness of tbc class mechanics
