Wouldn't have the time to play on vanilla servers anymore. Farming runecloth for bandages, juju's in winterspring, BL buffs, zandalaar buffs, ...

Not to mention i can't stomach wow's combat anymore. Too old and too static.

Nope...

Done with Bliz and Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street

Hell no! That game is done.

Blizz would never implement a legacy server. Not now anyway. Yes it would be a huge money maker. But at the same time, it would probably end up killing WoW's current state. We aren't talking about some leftover server tucked away in some quiet corner where a few people go live out the good ole times. It would be huge. Probably overshadow the current release. How would that look? Blizz's legacy servers gaining more popularity and noteriety than the current live release? If they went live with Vanilla, they might as well just put a bullet in the current version of WoW (Which they should consider doing anyway)

Ive played on some fine Vanilla private servers, but you get bored of that also.
Its a matter of time before you dont log in anymore as you have seen Vanilla for such long time already ( if you played it in (2004/2005)

Also WoW's EU population has been hit very hard, Blizzard wont release EU numbers, but when you check the server list you see massive amounts of death servers...
Worse part is Blizzard does nothing to assist those.

Would have liked that option in Cataclysm tough, but MoP chased me away from WoW, not only due to panda's and pokemon, but the return of the massive amount of daily quests you need to do...

Still i think it would be a very popular choice for alot of veteran players tough :)

No.  Got to keep moving forward.

I won't go back because Blizzard reminds me too much of a bi-polar ex girlfriend who is obsessed with controlling me!  My account was permanently banned back in April of 2012 for gold selling even though I have not played the game since March of 2011.  After sitting on the phone for 2 hours on hold I gave up since I have no interest in playing WoW.  I ignored emails due to most of them appeared to be phishing scams.  Now I am bombarded by Blizzard to come back to WoW emails.  It's kind of scary that they want me gone for doing nothing (other than not changing my password to a game I don't play anymore after having my email hacked) and now they are begging me back.

I've been in this scenario before.  Experience has taught me to just politely decline them, and avoid them at all costs!

I don't want to end up on "The First 48"!

Cheers!

The only way I'd go back was after a memory-wipe back to 2005. 

Hint: If I had a time machine, without a shred of doubt I'd set it to the future, not the past. :)

Only way I'd go back is if they quit pandering to the masses and make true old school MMO features.  Guild halls, Player housing, explorable content, Alternate Advancement for skills and abilities and some other sandbox features.  They would also need to transition over to a horizontal gear scaling and do away with vertical progression.

Why would we want WOW to be a GW2 clone (except player housing). Vertical progression is why WOW is and will remain on top. Yes, I like sandbox games too but no progression sounds like a very dull world. The "skill over gear" argument reminds me so much of the "story is the 4th pillar" argument of SWTOR. The lack of an endgame hurt SWTOR bad and the idea of an end game where the rewards are just achievements and cosmetic gear will not help GW2. I expect to see the same results (initial mass purchase and then mass dropoff). The good news is that GW2 is a one time purchase.

Plus, I did go back after the third GW2 beta and am enjoying the heck out of WOW. I forgot how much fun flying is! I love the cartoony but beautiful graphics, the humor, knowing where the quests begin and end, shape changing and so much more. WOW is not perfect by any means and it certainly is not as fun as with Wrath of the Lich King but, for me, it is back as my favorite. Yes, GW2 is fun but WOW was and will be my long term keeper.

Yeah i went back to WoW for a month after the TSW beta test.... i couldnt do it. wasted money on a time card.  game was boring, just being able to fly is not enough to keep me entertained.
