I miss having real GM's that interacted with the community. EQ GM's were cool in they would actually teleport to you and watch shit, but Blizzard GM's at least back in the day had some personality and would actually be of assistance before they outsourced that shit to street shitting Indian call centers who read from a script.

Like literally India or just San Francisco?

As someone who works in SF, our Indians just smell but have jobs. The homeless generally aren’t Indians but they definitely shit on the ground like they came from India. Maybe it’s because of all the Indian food these hipster tech bros consume.

There is some but they heavily reduced/removed weather effects over the years as well as the day/night cycles.

Totally off topic but I need to make a porn company that is just bitches in decent level cosplay getting throat fucked. I feel like there is a niche here that would earn some dollars. Who would help fund my kickstarter?

I just got beta access and never got an email or anything. The only way you will know is if its listed in the Region/Account drop down above the Play button on the Blizzard launcher. I resubbed the day after beta was announced and opted in so it took a few days.

All those things you mentioned are also a big part of it, I agree with you that high end Mythic raiding and Mythic plus isn't the leading cause of sub loss but in it's current state even you would have to admit it sure as fuck isn't helping.
Of course. I quit because raiding was a shitfest, mostly due to classes playing like.shit

Another awesome thing about Vanilla.

This is an enhanced version of the classic weather effects. Classic rain was basically just lines on the screen from drops of rain. It wasn't even added until midway through classic after devs bitched about it being too resource intensive (on both the client and server side). The fog and shit wasn't added until probably Mists.

Also, this and all environment effects are still very much active. You're just not going to see rain in Vormir or whatever the desert asshole area is. It snows in snowy areas. Rains in wetlands.

The day/light cycle is still in effect, and "enhanced". It actually gets so dark that it's obnoxious - you can't see shit. The "witch" area especially.

The current engine is going to be able to produce all of that shit on top of the original vanilla client that didn't have any of these effects (water, fire, mist, smoke, etc).

The new client actually looks really good for such an old ass game. They did a good job with modernizing it.

Nothing more than a lotto, im betting there is like 5+ million players that opted into this beta. and they have like what? 2-5 K on a server? Yeah, good lucksies. That gives you about a .1% chance of winning and 99.9% chance of being one of us losers.

Wait... was Scarlet Monestary all one dungeon back then? Getting flashbacks.

Was the Graveyard separate maybe?
You cleared a few mobs deep in the open world and arrived at a corridor with four different instance portals. The level range is like 30 to 40 between the four.
