WoW Vanilla+ Turtle WoW

Looks pretty slick. I have like 3 chars in the 20s to play some of. But I want to sit tight until the HD client thing is out.

Supposedly they have a RP PVE server coming out on Aug 17th. Ambershire. Along with their massive content patch. I will definitely be trying out their U5 version but I will be waiting for that. A new server to go on is good though.

They've had a strong presence on seemingly every emu server I've ever played on.

They are probably largely on welfare or IT jobs. So it makes sense.

I will likely jump on the new server.

Its the dole. It's always the dole. These people don't hold stable IT jobs.

Since Epoch is shitting the bed and this is live on the 17th I will be playing around here on a Priest.

I like our Classic+ options buuuut:

• Epoch -> Still offline lol
• Bronzebeard -> Still in beta so will be wiped. Don't sink time in this yet.
• Turtle -> 40 mans sure but at least you know this is stable and long term.

Current plan is to do the Slow and Steady/Craftmaster/Warmode challenges. If I go Tailoring/Enchanting it should be relatively easy.

What is the appeal of Bronzebeard?

Classic with their brand of talents, and world exploration gets you nice items and unlocks. For example the BiS wand for a while is just sitting on the ground in a high level zone. It adds a fun reason to go check in a building or bottom over and overworld elite cave etc. Will probably be my go to on release.

That does sound very appealing.

After playing both TWoW and BB, I will be sticking with BB. 3.3.5 client, 25 man raids, and heroic/mythic tier dungeons and raids is just too much to pass up

While I agree, its unlikely they go live in the next few months. Or am I totally wrong on that?

Compared to Epoch and TWOW BB is light on additional leveling content. Their features are mostly about end game. I do love their challenge system though.

Yeah I just really dont want to play it much knowing it's being wiped. I will be sinking my teeth in on launch though. Dwarf Shaman Tank? 2H enh? I need it.

They actually support Smite Priest too.

I definitely want to play a Smite Priest.

TWOW kind of supports smite priest. But they don't give it the mana tools to actually be sufficient. They do in BB.

Mostly I think it would be fun for PVP.

I will certainly be there to Shaman tank and 2h enh my way to success. I will probably do at least one of their challenges. Ascension's challenge system is one of its very best features.

Honestly, wotlk.

Every one of these servers offers something, new zones or new raids or new whatever, but eventually all that new stuff wears off. Oh cool you added booty bays dirty butthole, a new pirate themed lvl 35 dungeon in stv....that's cool...so deadmines? Oh you even reused deadmines assets.....cool...I guess. I'll run through it once or whatever. Ultimately that's just alternative leveling content.

At the end of the day this isn't everquest, we aren't spending a sizable amount of our playtime selling loot in east commonlands tunnel or cybersexing some 45 year old man pretending to be a hot woodelf in kelethin, atleast I hope you aren't doing that lol.

The vast, vast majority of your time spent playing is in combat, pressing buttons, doing a rotation, using the tools your class has been given.

Vanilla is the weakest version of this & has the worst class balance. You gotta gather together 40 dudes, 25 of which are warriors, and the rest just heal the warriors or press 1 for shadowbolt/frostbolt/etc? All to fight the simplest raids with the bare minimum of mechanics.

TBC is only slightly better balance wise and most class/specs are still garbage, but now atleast you only need 24 other retards to do content.

Wotlk is the best version of classic wow, not only the 3.3.5 client is the cleanest but every class/spec is atleast viable and different enough that everyone can find one that's gameplay matches what they want to do for 90% of their time logged in, which will be combat, leveling dungeons or raids.

Bronzebeard is the only server offering wotlk gameplay. That alone is enough for me. But the fact that it also offers SoD style exploration/runes (mystic enchants), 10-25 man flex raids (so I can raid with say, 17 dudes and it scales to us), mythic 1-10 plus ascended raids etc means it has the most robust options for end game, dungeons, etc and it also has the largest selection of hardcore/ high risk /challenge modes etc so I can always roll up an alt and replay all that new shiny leveling content in a new way.

Not to mention, bronzebeard is time locked progression, its the only one I know of that is planning on going to tbc then wotlk.
