Since blizzard announced they are starting classic severs I figured I'd ask: what did y'all play?
I personally started in tbc but lots of people are pretty hyped about the announcement.

I played a mage until lvl 28 then made a shaman because of thrall and shaman are fun af

a big old fat disgusting Male black fat tauren hunter named Velenda.

I had a night elf warrior I did PvE on. Got into naxx up to 4h. Never killed them, guild stopped a few months before BC.

I also leveled a horde priest to play with my brother. He was undead and we only did pvp. I got to rank 10, he got to rank 12.

Lots of fun. I’m really looking forward to playing vanilla again, it’s a grind and it’s slow... but it’s very rewarding.

I've been a rogue main for 10+ years so I'll stick to that when vanilla comes out.

On Nost I played warlock for the first time and enjoyed it.

But I will default into Rogue when classic is live 100%

I took the new servers pretty serious, after missing the Nost boat. I started playing in 2005.

I spent a lot of my time going back and forth from ally to horde on Lightninghoof PVPRP

I ended up with a enhancement shaman in vanilla, then a druid and hunter in BC.

When Elysium came out, with the two new servers I literally prepared for two weeks before launch, keeping a strict quest/slight grind leveling speed.

I hit level 30 in the first 24 hours of the Zeth'Kur launch with my Troll Hunter.

I can get level 40 in the first 36-38 hours of launch.

I'll probably pick Warlock to be my first 60.

I started out with a troll hunter, to level 36. Then switched to a mage and leveled that to 60, got to 60 a couple months before BC came out so didnt have any time to get into end game stuff really. But looking forward to the classic servers. Been hesitant to play on the private servers just because of all the BS surrounding them and the uncertainty of it all.

Will most likely be playing a mage again, for the nostalgia factor.

if they end up buffing the useless hybrid classes in vanilla like paladin shaman and druid (paladins just used for that sword with the debuff, feral dps is atrocious, and shaman only good for windfury totem) i was very bored of the META (rogue and warriors topping meters, like 20 in total in your raid) that was created on all these priv vanilla servers because everyone wants to min-max... and all the hybrid classes just fall flat in comparison. cant forget hunters and shadow priests being terrible as well, usually only 1 spriest per raid and maybe 2 hunters. hunter only really necessary for like tranq shot.

fact is vanilla wow is great until you wanna raid. forget playing the class you like because half the classes/specs are complete trash and people won't take like more than 1 of the shitty classes in a decent guild raid group.

Male human warrior on server illidan. Man i remember when I first got the game my computer was brutal. I got my older sister to help buy me RAM because i couldnt walk into stormwind without getting more than 4fps, it improved so much when i put more RAM in

Its hard to create overall balance without power creep. While I agree there are some balancing changes that need to be done in 1.12, however every spec of every class does not need to be top tier raid viable.
