Strange release as they are usually a bit later. I am excited...for the launch and the first few weeks then it will be back to not interested.

 
Yea I thought the same. I almost prefer a fall release. But yea I'm not really all that interested right now. It's just getting to complex anymore.
 
This is quoted from the Blizzard Forums.We wanted to let you know that we’ve been closely following the Nostalrius discussion and we appreciate your constructive thoughts and suggestions.

Our silence on this subject definitely doesn’t reflect our level of engagement and passion around this topic. We hear you. Many of us across Blizzard and the WoW Dev team have been passionate players ever since classic WoW. In fact, I personally work at Blizzard because of my love for classic WoW.

We have been discussing classic servers for years - it’s a topic every BlizzCon - and especially over the past few weeks. From active internal team discussions to after-hours meetings with leadership, this subject has been highly debated. Some of our current thoughts:

Why not just let Nostalrius continue the way it was? The honest answer is, failure to protect against intellectual property infringement would damage Blizzard’s rights. This applies to anything that uses WoW’s IP, including unofficial servers. And while we’ve looked into the possibility – there is not a clear legal path to protect Blizzard’s IP and grant an operating license to a pirate server.

We explored options for developing classic servers and none could be executed without great difficulty. If we could push a button and all of this would be created, we would. However, there are tremendous operational challenges to integrating classic servers, not to mention the ongoing support of multiple live versions for every aspect of WoW.

So what can we do to capture that nostalgia of when WoW first launched? Over the years we have talked about a “pristine realm”. In essence that would turn off all leveling acceleration including character transfers, heirloom gear, character boosts, Recruit-A-Friend bonuses, WoW Token, and access to cross realm zones, as well as group finder. We aren’t sure whether this version of a clean slate is something that would appeal to the community and it’s still an open topic of discussion.

One other note - we’ve recently been in contact with some of the folks who operated Nostalrius. They obviously care deeply about the game, and we look forward to more conversations with them in the coming weeks.

You, the Blizzard community, are the most dedicated, passionate players out there. We thank you for your constructive thoughts and suggestions. We are listening.

ughh... Your just like everyone else. They will try it and rave for about two months. Then they will go back to WoW. They always come back.

 
So I went and saw this last night. I had poor poor hopes for it. Let's face it most video game movies are horrible. But man I was blown away! (not just because I like WoW ) but because it was actually decent. I thought the characters were great, they did a good job on the CGI also. I feel like the captured a lot of the feel of the towns in the movie also. Plus tons of little hidden things here and there. Overall it was probably the best movie that I have seen since Mad Max, so movie of the year for me so far. The kid I even went with has never seen WoW and he loved it also. Go see it in theaters it was well worth it.
 
Make sure to log in soon, so you can get your free loot from the movie before it's gone.
 
So over whelming tonight. So many changes. It's like a whole new game. This is going to take some time to re-learn everything now.
 
There are no longer glyphs in the game either. Minor or major. You can switch out your talents now without costing anything. Once you learn or "have worn" a piece of gear or equipment then you no longer need to keep it for transmog. This will free up all your bag room.
 
So some of the good and bad. The good new is you can now empty almost all your bags. So you don't have to worry about buying bags anymore. Plus all your characters can learn these account wide. Plus you get some extra gold. Now for the bad. You are basically starting the game from scratch. They changed not just a little this time but everything. I don't even know rotations anymore and half the spells are gone or obsolete. But this does give me time to think what I want to play next. Was considering going back to my original hunter. Also almost none of my add-ons work so I haven't been able to play any of my healers yet. Speaking of might go monk healing. I really dig the new animations.

I was up till 1 a.m. last night playing this. Starting to have a lot of fun again. Blizzard's realms are messed up right now so the cross realms are merged meaning there are a lot of people everywhere. It's nice to see actually. Loving the new transmog system in place. It will give you excuses to run all these old dungeons and raids for not only gear but all sorts of special drops now. Found out you can get transmog item enhancements for your weapons and spent way to much money on the tomes. Dropped about 40k last night on them. Also since a lot of the add-ons are finally being updated I was able to hop on a couple of my healers and run some BC timewarped dungeons. First of my main priest sucks right now. I know it's just her spec but I have played Disc forever. So going to have to switch to Holy and see how that works. Resto druid healing was not bad once I got the order of spells down. Monk was decent too even with the tank pulling huge mobs and being a asshole about it. But the game is starting to feel fun again with so much to do once again.
 
Been playing my old hunter again. Thankfully I had so many old items in my bank that when this hit I had a lot of good transmog items already. Not to keen on my healers at the moment since I feel like I don't know what I am doing with them. Almost all the add-ons I use have been updated so no problem with those anymore now.
