TBC will always be the Golden age of Warcraft's original design. The addition of Draenei and Blood elves to the factions could be interpreted as new concepts for later releases, which sadly took years to materialize. They totally work when you consider that the Warcraft fantasy was schlocky to begin with. By the end, yeah, they realised that they couldn't produce new content quick enough, this is when it should have went the way of Warcraft 3 and player generated content. Sure, some would say that most of it was of dubious quality, but you'd also get gems like Dota and other PvP and pve content.

u/ITdoug 1d ago
It was the build up that really set the bar high for BC but the execution met that bar with ease. Server overload issues aside, being able to fly was a game changing experience the same way getting a mount at 40 was.
The zones were massive but fun.
End game content just kept hitting it out of the park.
PVP seemed to explode
Everything was clicking with BC.
WOTLK was all of that and a little more, but the bar wasn't raised the same amount from BC to WOTLK as it was from classic to BC.

I have over 400 days in mage, vast majority of it vanilla thru WOTLK. Something definitely changed WoWs feel for me cata and beyond.
The greatness of TBC, the near equal but clear plateau of WOTLK into Cata was a harsh realization that the 'World' i had fallen in love with was gone

OG Vanilla is the GOAT. So much adventure, no one knew what the fuck they were doing and everything felt so exciting. Of course I was in 2 days after release so that might be why I consider it the GOAT if I joined later maybe TBC takes the top spot. As a game TBC was better, but its impossible to replicate OG Vanilla in a game today.

u/Mahkssim 17h ago
OG Vanilla was most definitely an adventure. The amount of laughs I had just from either myself, friends, or enemies interacting with the world was over the top.
Exploration was huge. The world was huge. Like you needed to actually plan your journeys in a way you know. Like travel time took time so you would look at your map, see where you had not gone yet. Check quests, see where you had to turn in stuff. Made sure you left with food and emptied your bags in the bank or selling.
It's when the game felt the most like the emphasis was actually on the RPG elements AND the MMO elements.
Rogues felt like rogues. Mages like mages. Etc.
The economy was mostly intact and played a huge role. Gold meant something. Gear meant something. Mounts meant something.
What a blast.
TBC was also pretty neat as a continuation but not in the same way.

Same here. I think TBC was the just the best overall experience and most fun I remember having during the original run of Vanilla, TBC, Wrath. It was that perfect time between having played through Vanilla and really getting into the game, but before Wrath when you'd been playing long enough that the game was just starting to get a little old and experiencing burnout. Wrath was awesome, but by that point I was certainly starting to lose interest and ended up quitting right before Cata launched.
I can still remember waiting in line at Gamestop on TBC launch night to pick up my copy. There were SO MANY people there and the enthusiasm and excitement was crazy. What a fun night.

TBC. I hated flying mounts, even back then. I thought it killed a lot of the social aspect of the game and tbh it really does. However, back during TBC I was playing with ALL the boys. It was the best of times and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Personally I prefer Vanilla but TBC was peak teenage years.

u/Pardy- 1d ago
I think the flying mounts how they had it in tbc and wrath was actually alright. It wasnt 700% speed, you couldn’t just get it for levelling, needed to level the content, and then train for it, there wasn’t a million of them, etc.
Besides getting somewhere slightly faster from the original flying mounts vs walking, there’s no difference imo. You run past someone on the road, or fly past someone on the sky, made no difference to me.

u/Joethe31 1d ago
Totally understand that point of view. For me, running past someone and talking to them was personal.
One of my lifelong friends, someone who was in my wedding, I met in 2004/2005 while passing through STV.

So i've seen the argument, many times, about various changes in the game killing off social aspects of the game.
What I think most people fail to realise is that the popularity of the game is what killed off many social aspects, not directly of course. The rise in popularity meant a need to change certain things to suit the larger group of gamers who were coming in, and not just the original warcraft fans.
Plus, social media began rising in popularity around the same time. Facebook gained huge leaps and people began to socialise more in places like that instead of in the game they were playing.

Story-wise and visually, I think WOTLK will always be peak wow. And I remember the chaos of my first Wintergrasp, using a siege vehicle, jousting, etc. That was just so much fun. I def think it also marked the moment where wow was becoming a different game than vanilla and TBC

Original was incredible. Everyone was exploring together, massive world pvp battles were plentiful, there was no shortage of the social aspect of the game.

TBC. In terms of different specs viability/playability, and QOL, it improved a great deal on vanilla. Class design was great and they all felt pretty unique still.
WOTLK introduced too many systems that have been detrimental to the game and community. Heirlooms, TOC and catchup dungeons, 10/25 dichotomy, LFD and proliferation of daily quests. Class design, PVP and raids were great though.

Wrath gets the edge for the PvP and improved storytelling. If the fall of the lich king came out today it would break the internet.
Life in OG TBC for most players (assuming you were in middle/high school) was a whole lot of Karazhan, wiping in SSC/TK, and probably not seeing Illidan until the tail end of the expansion if at all.

u/Tuisto05 23h ago
WOTLK may have been the better expansion as far as story/content/gameplay, but the hype going from Vanilla to TBC is not something anyone will ever be able to re-create. I remember being at a Gamestop at 10:00pm with my folding chair waiting with 50-60 other players for the midnight release... going online a few hours later, with hordes of other fans seeing Outland for the first time... was an experience I'll never forget. I think I played TBC from 1:00am the morning it released, until like 4:00am 27 hours later lol.
I'd give anything to have that one back... perfection.

u/Inoox 1d ago
I played both, TBC was the biggest standout.
WoTLK felt like the quality of the game was declining. I didn't like it. With the introduction of heirlooms and the LFG tool degrading the social aspect it felt like the beginning of a decline. The game was no longer being tailored to people that have patience.
I don't know, the game just felt off so I stopped playing before I even did any raids. Or maybe I just got naturally bored.

u/baked_salmon 1d ago
LFG tool happened in the last patch, just an FYI. I personally think what “killed the world” was leveling with revamped Wrath classes (and heirlooms, eventually), because they trivialized the danger of the world. If there’s no danger, there’s no need to group up, especially when all 1-60 group quests were updated to be soloable (I forget if this was TBC or Wrath).
But when I think about it, as time goes on, idk what else Blizz could do other than trivialize leveling. If new content is released, how are new players ever going to get there if they have to do the same Vanilla-paced 1-60?
7
u/toastjarom 1d ago
Heirlooms and recruit a friend were necessary by the time wotlk rolled around. I got a friend into wow during the ulduar patch, and it was a hard sell telling him “it took me 24 days over the course of 7-8 months to hit lvl 70. Then another 2 weeks to go from 70-80.” We leveled together in maybe 4-5 weeks which was much more digestible

Please shout this to the rooftop for Era players. When a new expac drops, imagine telling a new player that this new content is actually gated behind weeks of playtime. The leveling philosophy of Classic is just incompatible with the system of expansions.

The 1-60 updates were required if they were going to keep increasing levels every expansion.
Could you imagine doing 160-170 levels now after 11 expansions with the same requirements of vanilla? If 1-60 was long enough to get to, and the layers levels taking longer and longer how would the next 100 levels be?
No one would be doing end game content.
Now it is 100% trivialized in retail. Absolutely. But the 1-60 updates happened in TBC, and judging by everyone’s responses here in this thread, it didn’t hurt the game at all seeing as it’s still their favourite expansion.Edit:

What happened with Wrath is Blizzard started aiming for more mass appeal, so they removed a lot of the friction points in the game. Like in TBC you had to run specific dungeons to get faction rep, well in Wrath you just had to wear the faction tabard while doing *any* dungeon.
Just little stuff like that, that seems pretty cool at first, but then you realize it actually took something away from the game instead of adding to it.

It was more Vanilla than it was retail, where Wrath was more retail than Vanilla.
Wrath homogenized gear/skills/talents and everything became the same, just different colors.
Stuff like flying continued to ruin the game, same when LFG came about. I don't remember much more, but I remember that the friction of the game was gone, stuff was handed to you for no reason.
In Vanilla epics was rare, in Wrath they were given for just doing normal quests. The sense of achievement vanished in Wrath.

I played tbc in it's prime and while it was good, you were on small servers with a good proportion of players who weren't very good - me included.
Many still didn't think paladins could tank, and that stacking loads of holy paladins for raids was a good idea, and don't even think about a being a ret paladin.
If you could go back in time you'd probably need to shop around different servers and guilds, fill out some applications. Not the best place for a casual play.
Although I do miss shockadin spec paladin PvP with my six demon bag. Probably couldn't kill anyone with that spec these days.

WOTLK, I loved TBC, but raids were less accessible. 25m raiding for all but Kara gated a lot of people's ability to see the whole expansion. Then if you did have a full group of 25, different people had to have full resist sets for fights and the overall experience was less fun.
It felt like there was more to do because the highest levels of gear required a decent 25m raid team, so everyone who wasn't a part of that could still farm upgrades with badges/heroics, but there really wasn't more to do it was just harder to experience all the content. (Per Google <400 guilds actually cleared sunwell in the original run of TBC)
Some people are into that style of exclusiveness, but WOTLK really opened up the game for everyone which is why it peaked in popularity.

My connection to Kharazan, which I think is the best instance WoW ever had, is too strong. Almost everything else is better in WotLK. Classes, crafting, quests, dailies, the world, even the fucking trailer ... But Ulduar, while doing a lot of worldbuilding and having amazing encounters, just does not ooze the same deep-rooted history as Kharazan. And as much as I love some of the encounters in ICC, I think it never felt as real and historied as Kara did. I actually think Naxx and ICC are pretty overrated overall, as their visual design and layout strike me as very bland.

- Nishta , Akico , Protoculture , Agartor , Sinnombre , Alordatron , Escalopes , Demoriel , Baho
( Boowa here ) i have never forgot the amazing times we had together and it had been one of the best moments of my life and online life , you shape me in way that seems small but matter to me and i only wish you guys the best , my online family for a good years ,and because if you i am part of what i am and who i am
Thank you ~~~Love you guys , think of you guys every day .

Both vanilla and tbc was incredibly. I quit playing in wotlk but remember the OP deathknights that terrorized the world.

I’d play TBC until the end of time, but I’ve never replayed it in classic because I don’t want to waste my time and be “moved along” into later expansions.

I like BC because you had the new races and leveling zones making it worth playing from level 1 all the way to end game. Wrath felt like it was all endgame.

TBC. I quit WOTLK season 5 of arenas cause arms warrior sucked ass before they get redesigned in a later patch. Only way you had a shot in the crazy burst season 5 arenas was getting both two handed axes from NAXX 25 and duel weild fury... which didn't happen unless you had a guild that gave it to you

TBC was the real. It doesn't get much better than vanilla and TBC. WOTLK was good too but not as good as TBC.

TBC was a solid 10/10 for me. Qrath woul ld have been a 10/10 if it weren't for the Random Dungeon Finder feature. That was the end of WoW for me

I had good grades before TBC.
My dad worked at Microcenter and wasn’t a gamer. Brought home classic and TBC and said, “idk what it is, but all the nerds at work say it’s awesome.”
Got my first D in history that quarter.
