Quote:What I'd love to see is some realms that are like things were early on. I feel like I've missed out on most of the game, and that I'll never really get the WoW experience.
Maybe I'm just being nostalgic, but I'd like to see that too. Keep all the changes to talents and balance and content, but roll back the XP acceleration. Maybe top out at 60 so there's some incentive to poke around the large amounts of formerly top-end content.
On the other hand, to get the true experience, you'd have to drop half the flightpoints, move the auction houses back to SW/Org to provide a proper level of city lag, and eliminate all the meeting stones. Add more loot lag and server hiccups, and season to taste.
Oh, and make all the mobs outside the Deadmines elites.
In any case, I think you can still get some of the WoW experience now, you'll just have to twist some arms to get a group to level with you (raises arm). The levels go by faster, but the big difference is not being forced to do most or all of the zones at your level. You can still see all the content, you just are usually a bit overleveled for the area. And there's no shortage of money anymore.:)
You did miss the discovery phase when everyone was charging around finding things out, and the older raid instances just won't happen for you (in the style they were intended, anyway). I guess it's up to you if that's a deal-breaker.
