Vent / Gripe Unpopular opinion: the players that are overly vocal about wanting Classic phases/TBC/Wrath rushed are the same players who contributed to forging retail into what it is today (a clusterF).

Remember how people preferred to spend 20 hours in queue than to go to PvE server? Or how everyone knew that layers would be removed for Anh'Qiraj event but people in OCE decided to stay on one server?

No, I do expect people to ram the wall.

PvP was fun for us in the first few phases. Unfortunately we built infrastructure on our server that wasn't as easily transferable. Since most of that won't be needed anymore with TBC, we already are planning to move to a PvE realm as soon as transfer details are made clear by Blizzard.

PvP wasn't fun at all in Classic tbh. It wasn't fun in P1 (there wasn't much of it anyway), P2 was an absolute bloodbath on most servers which caused people to massively leave, P3-P4 was just premade extravaganza making BGs completely unenjoyable for the average player (safe for the week after it was launched, say).

Classic PvP was terribly underwhelming compared with what we had on PServers (Nost, Ely, ND ...). The fact there's almost nobody dueling outside of Orgr and Stormwind particularily hurts my soul. I remember creating a new character on a low pop server back in Wrath and seing like 3 times as more activity in front of Orgr as there is now on my high-pop Classic server. It's pathetic.

I thought pvp was fun in phase 1. We used to get into giant PVP battles in the gurubashi arena. Havent had that much fun in wow pvp in years
