WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE NOSTALRIUS WAS A MUCH BETTER EXPERIENC

This is supposed to be “a hundred times” better than a private server right, and yet this doesn’t feel nearly as fun overall. Seems like something is really lacking. I don’t know, maybe it’s just that we don’t feel the love for it? Maybe the communication is the real issue? Maybe the nostalrius forums were something really special as well? Maybe it’s because that’s when tons of people tried vanilla for the first time?

I’m comparing both experiences, and I can’t shake that feeling that I had so much more fun playing on Nostalrius, but I’m not 100% clear on why that is, and I know it’s the same for other people too…so yeah I’m curious.

There was some elements in Blizzards WoW Classic which destroyed the classic experience such as Layering, World Buffs etc.

Darrowshire is a 1 man show, some random dude who falsely claims that his devs are former Warmane devs. He already got busted.

Hyjal seems to be kinda legit but they literally failed their server start. In general, there is a low population on all vanilla servers at this moment.

Because Nost was a much better Experience.

probably never get it again but who knows maybe we'll come close in another private server in a not so distant future

I just stopped my WoW Classic sub because it is dead since TBC launch. I'm now looking for a new private server like Nostalrius

Oh you know...we were a bunch of troubled children that pulled together and created our own community of misfits. The island of misfit toys. Nostalrius wasn't the best thing ever, but it was our thing. It was special to us. : )

All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.

Give it some time and we will be back. Blizzard just announced a vanilla restart,- but I'm sure many would prefer an actual passion project, with active devs, active staff and servers that can handle more than a handful of players on one spot. If it isn't this year, we'll just have to watch them drive the restart in the ground.
