yea, had this discussed idéa with friends/guild, about making (at least) two new servers, and these servers would be "classic wow only" and "up to the burning crusade only2 and when cataclysm is unleashed "wrath of the lich king only".
why we think this would be great is because then old players who found that the expansion packs destroyed their old charachters would come back to the came (therefore blizz would make more money) and it aint hard making a new realm, and it would be a soo promizing result to the game, just think about it.
- many of the new players have never even seen the old bosses like ragnaros from moletn core, experienced the jungles of zul gurub, or even been in the black temple!
- the old times would be back, old school pvp in alterac valley, people fighting to get jus the slightest advantage, going back to the base to upgrade the soldiers and towers
- people would start farming for the old legendary items again, think of it, have you even ever seen a legendary item?
- and blizz, (i hope that moderators/blizzard employes are reading this) you would make a lot more money, since A LOT of the old players would come back, just in my community i know about 20 people that quit wow just because of the expansions destroyed the game. if this kind of "server-only" would be made, im sure they would come back to the game, and if i am correct, all over hte world there are more than 10,000 people out there quiting wow for other games because of the expansions.
if you think this is a good idéa, please post in the topic, i will make a list of people thinking this is a good idéa. (also post if you are a moderator/player/former-player/blizzard employe)

No, they're not.
This idea have already been discussed so many times... That is technically impossible for Blizzard.

It's an old topic. Last word from Blizzard from what I know of (
March this year
) was that they have no plans on implementing classic realms.
Drysc gave a reason for this stance on February '08 (in
this post
) and that was pretty much the same reason Kuolema gave - they would essentially be supporting two different games and it would take up too much of Blizzard's resources to be justifiable.
Also: Blizzard employees might be reading Wowhead, but they sure as
heck
aren't going to say that they are reading your thread, and they
doubly
sure as heck aren't going to post their beliefs on a thread which isn't on WoW's official forums.

I think classic/BC server is a good idea, but thats it. Realization would be difficult and trust me, after the initial rush of "old-schoolers" there would be only quitting players.
I also think that ppl who find expansions destroying the game are ppl who were already farming the former end-game content.
The more I am now getting into wotlk end-game the more I find it extremely good. First I thought that its broken, but it is not.
The addition of Argent tournament and "free gear" essentaily means that I was able to go into Naxx and actualy do some good few days after 80. True, the drops were far from an upgrade for me, but I still had some blues, so even if it is possible to overgear Naxx without even seeing it, it is same possible to gear in both HCs and Naxx together - which is absolutly great! No more waiting for whole a week for one lucky upgrade drop.
Now theres Ulduar, which is a fine progressing raid now, because its a first place you really need some gear for, it quite long and it has many bosses with increasing dificulty.
Need more? Go try heroic, go ToC, go heroic ToC. Still need more? Well sorry but how many ppl are able to beat the content in less than a year?
And how many blizz ppl are required to make a new viable raid? Few months before new expansion, so that only the few ppl will see it before it looses sense?
Try another game, play both, have more end-game content.
From what I have seen, the NEXT expansion will be even greater. I looks great, it will be Azeroth, it will be huge. Im looking forward to it.

I fully support this - with the understanding that these servers will never be touched by Blizzard ever again, for any reason whatsoever - including standard maintenance.
No changes to the code base, meaning no bug fixes, at all. Don't even ask, because the developers are working on the code of the live game, which is a different creature than the "historical" servers.
If you're okay with that - then I'm okay with it.

finally some1 that supports me :D thats basically what i mean to, just make it, then leave it. then let ppl try it out and play, being aware of buggs. no acc miggs to/from the realm, and such. no problem at all.

it has been talked about a lot.
But with spells and gear it can't be done.
Only if bliz would put up such a server then you would have to level and play only on that server.
And they don't even put up enough servers to reduce lag and their messes now.

I've had this feeling since I got to 70. I didn't really like BC in comparison to how much i loved old WoW.
Doing MC/AQ20/ZG, I would still do old instances. Now I can solo them, and its just not fun.
Frankly if they would give us old servers, w/ no maintnence, I'd be fine w/ that. If I didn't like it I could leave.
It is do-able. Private servers doit, so why can't the people w/ the actual content?
private servers do pleanty of stuff you shouldn't do...
so quit !@#$%ing and go to a private server then, quit whining for Blizz to make an official vanilla server
