TWoW is great fun at a great price of $0.00 a month. Slow and steady leveling scratches my mmo grinding itch just fine. If any of you need a little staring gold for bags hit me up in game, Cursedsoup.
I plan on giving it a try if I can get my graphics situation figured out, but will end up on the new Turtle vs the old server.

Think you are confusing "classic" and "vanilla".

For most people classic wow refers to the original trilogy (vanilla/tbc/wotlk), before they revamped all the original zones to add flying in cataclysm.

Turtle is vanilla+. They continue to expand horizontally adding new content to the vanilla game world. Epoch will be tbc+ if they ever launch and bronzebeard will be wotlk+. All 3 are under the umbrella of "classic+"
That's legit the first time I've ever heard it put like that. Mind you I'm not saying you're wrong it's just every time I've seen people refer to classic+ they've always been talking about Vanilla.

Also how can something be TBC+ when the only thing from TBC they're including is the talent tree's and even them aren't 100% TBC. Epoch is missing major things from TBC such as Draenei, Blood Elves the entire expansion of TBC... It's like ghetto pre-patch.

One of the devs posted on his youtube that Epoch is at least a month away at the earliest I believe, so we can probably pack this one up for awhile.

Ahh I'm sure the pserver crowd are very vocal about what is and isn't classic vs vanilla, seeing a lot of that kind of non-sense now that we've absorbed all the epoch players on bronzebeard...

but for the vast majority of the 2 million people who played blizzard classic, Classic is considered the original trilogy, and vanilla is considered the base game.

you could make arguments either way but its just easier to understand when people say classic+ they are referring to an umbrella term and it doesn't necessarily mean what you think it means.

Yea definitely just play the new Turtle server next week. Turtle is really good, it just has been languishing with the same server for like 5+ years now and trying to come in to that fresh is a fucking nightmare.

If they even manage to turn Epoch on this month it's gonna be an unstable, laggy mess. There's 0 reality in which they shift their entire server/codebase to debian in a few weeks and it isn't a huge boondoggle. Assuming their server core can even run a server the size they are expecting in the first place.

Gonna take my victory lap here with them officially throwing in the towel and now having to outsource their core/server backend to Ascension.

That is probably best case scenario i'd imagine? wonder how long it'll actually take ascension to fire up the servers

It is really the best case scenario but now they have to "compete" with Bronzebeard directly. Within the same game launcher.

Which is kind of lol.
