Anything pre-Cata is probably close (at least for the 0-60 pets), since most Vanilla pets were removed around then. We'll see what we can do. I'm also tempted to restore the old site look for the Classic version of the site

Re: WoW Classic pets
And theres so much dismissal of differing opinions. I personally lean more toward the purist side (to me a remastered Classic is like asking for a Ham sandwich and wanting turkey instead of ham but still insisting its a ham sandwich), *however* theres no cause to some of the vile dismissal and marginalizing of someone else's experience and opinion. Some want a "new model toggle" since its completely personal, but wow that idea is getting devoured. Some want the experience they had which is a later Classic patch than what others want.
Its pure bedlam. I know there's plenty of passion, and I know forums can generally be a terrible place but this is on a whole new level. All these groups have such a standoffish "its my way or the highway" feel to their posts.

All the stuff that made the game more stream line.
I do miss the old talent system. But I like the one in Legion too.
Re: WoW Classic pets
One intriguing possibility is that they could add some things which almost were in Vanilla.Valnaaros wrote:Blizz should just give them vanilla as it was.
For example, dwarf mages were playable in Beta, but cut before release. Then readded years later. Should they be allowed in Classic? I think even many purists would be okay with this.
Or how about some new content? There was a certain amount of content which was worked in during Vanilla but never released. For example, there was a BG (supposedly large-scale like AV) in Azshara. It was part of the original plan - you could even see the Alliance and Horde instance portals before the zone was revamped in Cata. But for various reasons, it was never released.

Re: WoW Classic pets
Vanilla, as it originally was, was constantly changing. They got up to content patch 1.12 before BC. If you just choose a build and then do nothing but fix bugs, that's not Vanilla was it originally was.Valnaaros wrote:The issue with giving them new content is that there will be some who will keep wanting new content. Classic servers are meant to largely be vanilla as it originally was. If you start giving them new things, then it moves away from being vanilla to being a different game.

Re: WoW Classic pets
Unless there's a way to farm achievements/mounts that carry over to your main account, it's never going to have any popularity... unless, I suppose, they make it free. That's really the sole reason that vanilla servers survived out in the wild at all; it wasn't that the game was great, but it was the free nicotine patch to the people who didn't want to buy cigarettes anymore. They could get their fix, at least a little, without having to pay for it.
If the servers are free to play (that is, just free, because obviously no DLC or anything) then they'll do fairly well just with people who kinda wanna keep their hand in without paying for a sub.

Re: WoW Classic pets
I don't think Blizz would allow us to farm pets, mounts, xmogs from Vanilla, since it would do two things. First, people who don't want to play Vanilla would feel like they have to do get those things. Second, it would lessen the meaning of those things for those who earned them when Vanilla was current.
Some of you may have seen it, but there was a thread on the official forums that Orynx and a few other Blues joined in on. Long story short, a lot of the people in the thread (on both sides of the Vanilla Civil War) were attacking them relentlessly. Calling them things like idiots, numbskulls, morons, etc. Of course, this really upset Orynx. So much so that he basically said "I would hoping we could have a discussion about this. I guess not" and closed the thread.

Re: WoW Classic pets
Depends on what patch. I've seen 1.12 being mentioned as the ideal patch. By that patch, though, the saddleless mounts were gone.Tårnfalk wrote:Vanilla would make sence igen you could grind achivements, mounts etc. and transfer that to your other char. I could easily see someone grinding reply to get the saddleless palomino mount.

Re: WoW Classic pets
Theres just so many groups involved in the discussion, its fascinating. Now theres plenty of dissension even among those that played in classic, played on private servers, and fully remember all the bad.
