Are you prepared to face the biggest gains goblin man has ever faced?

Are you prepared to face the biggest gains goblin man has ever faced?

Will you resist or will you fall?

Do you dare try and have your cake and eat it to?

Guys like staysafe play this shit all day while still being jacked, having a gf and working 40ish hours a week.

There are like 10,000 minutes in a week and you only need to spend 200-300 at the gym. It doesn't need to be a gains goblin.

if you fall for this shit tier meme you deserve to lose your gains, vanilla was tedious trash.

If you didn't like vanilla then you don't "get it".

The original iteration of WoW was a lifestyle, not a video game.

If you went into vanilla WoW with the same mindset that you go into other video games you were destined to fail/hate it/not understand the purpose of it.


Just think about it, how often do you hear about people becoming addicted to modern WoW? It's not even referred to as the World of War-crack anymore, because Blizzard changed its methodology focusing on targeting a normie audience.The modern WoWs major demographic is normies with limited time who play a variety of games, hence why the subscriber base is considered "cyclical" by Blizzard. People come back from major updates or patches, and then leave and return to other games, that's the model blizzard has taken with modern WoW.

Vanilla WoW wasn't like that at all, again, vanilla WoW was not a video game, it was a lifestyle, a large living breathing community. Modern WoW is absolutely nothing like it, Modern WoW has no community, it is essentially a single-player game outside of Mythic Raiding (which only 0.1% of the population does). 99.9% of modern WoW players log on for a bit, hit it like a casino machine, get rewarded for logging on with a epic titanforge piece of gear, then log off and return to Call of Duty or some mobile game on their smart phone.

You just don't fucking get it, and you never will. Vanilla WoW is "tedious" in the same way certain things in your life at tedious, but you need to do those tedious things to have the lifestyle you want, this is why WoW is a lifestyle.

t.Virgin

i played from the very beginning, theres nothing appealing about going back its a massive timesink

It's over 2 years away I'll be fine

I meet my wife on WoW, shes my lifting buddy. We're both super crazy excited about the classic servers and we're hoping it blizzard doesn't fuck it up by catering to your kind of "vidya gayming" faggots who will stop playing after 2 weeks anyway because some new autistic game comes out and you can't handle playing any 1 game for longer than a day.

You're literally the reason MMORPGs died.
>hurr gif me everythang but i cant be bothered playing but i still deserve everything and please make everythang ez for me to do so i dont have to put effort into anything, also can u remove 90% of my abilities so i dont have to worry about other stuff

They dont understand lad,let them be.

back to r/wow faggot

God Vanilla WoW was the best video game ever created.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING (real world included) will ever make me experience the feels I felt the first time I had to make my way across Durotar to Orgrimmar as a level 10 Orc Warrior, then entering the city and seeing dudes on their Mounts sitting around with fucking sick ass gear. It was fucking awesome.

Vanilla WoW might come back but those original feels are gone forever. It was truly an amazing game. Each expansion took more and more away from that community/exploration feeling that the original captured so well.

Why are you shilling this shi on every board? Nothing is going to get people to play this crap again. Take yor themepark MMO and shove it up your shill ass.

HOLYFUCK good bye gains lads

Im not even mad. I trade in my gains for 1-2years of happiness in life.

My wow golden years were mostly 2006-8.
I remember my first and most used character was a night elf druid and starting leveling up from Teldrassil or whatever the fuck the starting zone for night elves was called, was a true pain in the ass. Quests were few and shit, bugs were everywhere and logistics to move to other areas were awful.

Also
>tfw gotta wait two hours for the damn ship to sail off teldrassil to reach kalimdor mainland. or that feel when you reach the pier and the ship JUST sailed and you have to bleeding wait

im considering playing again after reading this

game of choice from zyzz

Vanilla was so shut and you guys would remember this if you played nostalrius or even tried elysium right now, end game is brain dead garbage. Wotlk was the true master race

Very tempted to try it out because I quit before getting far when I started playing so long ago. If I can convince a couple friends to play it with me when it happens I will be all over that shit.
That being said, it won't be any more of a gains goblin than my currently-addicted mmo is so whatever

>2004
>get Robe of Arugal
>first blue gear in my life
>couldn't sleep all night
>never been happier since

Vanilla WoW wasn't about the endgame.

Try again faggot.

You guys just don't get it.

Vanilla had a community feel to it that was taken away and utterly destroyed by "Quality of Life" changes over the years.

Private servers don't fucking count, stop trying to imply that private servers are anything like true Vanilla.

Oh its a video game. Whats it like? Its an MMO like Destiny?

You fucking brainlet, you typed fucking walls of text to talk about your FEELINGS towards the game and not arguments for why it was good, how do you expect to persuade anyone that vanilla wasnt shit? Fucking retard.

Ofcourse Blizzard changed their methodology, because the game got boring fucking FAST and playerbase was dropping. Stop being a stuck up nostalgiafag.

(Clearly WotLK was the best patch)

literally cancer, kys

I DID like vanilla.

I DONT want to play it again.

Stop making these threads you pathetic virgin retard

There is nothing to understand, it's a dumb video game.

>muh community, muh grind, muh exploration
lol no.

>mfw going to play this shit nonstop

I cringed

>he didn't sell his virginity for a flying mount

vanilla wow is the opposite of themepark mmo you dolt

i know this is bait, but destiny is not an mmo.

people are gunna stop playing this shit so quick, vanilla was dogshit, people just associate with a time in their life when all they did was jerk it in moms basement and play wow no other responsiblities, it aint bringing that back you'll still be 15 years or w/e it is older

When a game takes out all the skill and replaces it with the need to spend time instead then it's shit, sorry.
Incredibly slow paced, boring as fuck static combat for literally every class - but hey, you have to spend ages to level and shit, so what's the problem man??

Yeah guys its not like nostralius had constant 10k+ population at all times and was only growing, r-right? I bet you faggots drink water in between sets.

...you only work out 5 hours a week? The absolute state of Veeky Forums, jfc

an entire 10k population! its must be bangin

If a game steals your gains, you're a pathetic manchild. I'm not saying not to play the game, nothing wrong with that but ffs keep your workout discipline.

ahhahha you're so mad I LOVE IT ahhhhhhhhh delicious
>gaining advantage over other people shouldn't take thousands of hours!!! I have never played football but I wanna be in the NFL already!!!! GIVE IT TO ME NOW!!!!
Dedicating more time to something will always give you and edge over people who don't, this applies to anything. WoW has never or never will take "skill", but making the game more tedious simulates a skill-gap between players well.

>yfw you actualy become that cool dude on the mount with sick ass gear and it feels meh.

The road to the gear is so much more fun than actualy getting it in wow.

There were a couple of stages in which wow arena was really skillful and it took quite some knowledge, understanding and skill to reach gladiator.
Vanilla is shit and just haves you put in a ton of time doing activities every mongoloid could do.

>It was one of the most successful private servers to date, with over 800,000 accounts registered and 150,000 active accounts. Since the conclusion of Nostalrius servers, a discussion about the possibility of Blizzard opening "Legacy" servers has begun.

>150k active accounts
For a private server. But yeah, that's nothing right? ;)

Any serious lifter will have an actual schedule for working out, so you're not going to be one of those assholes who gets sucked into playing WoW all day.

what's everyone rolling as? Alliance or Horde?

I do and don't want to play this

Don't because I know I'll waste another 10k hours on it.
Do because real life is shit boring anyway.

right

Whatever you thought about that "lifestyle" you held is lost forever, it was a combination of an unprecedented player base for a mmo and a certain naivete in its mechanics.
Now it will be just an outdated game whose players have long since moved on to the newest version of WoW, other games or other stuff in life entirely.
You'll never have it back.

>tfw you get to live your fantasy of being a jacked Chad and fucking up enemy faction in AV with your other jacked Chad lads

Thanks blizz

Time to get bigger lads, launch is at least a year away

No excuses

user...

This

New exp Battle for Azeroth is coming in a year's time, Classic servers will arrive after it.

>tfw i'll never play with the Veeky Forums bros cause my characters are located on EU servers..

/Ourguy/ said he'll make a guide on how to keep our gains when Classic servers hit.

He grinds vanilla all day and still got some gains I'd trust him.

If you do the work and minimize fucking around, you don't need more than 90 minutes per workout until you're very proficient. With lifting 3x/week that's only 4.5 hours.

Tbh it's not that hard to stay big. My uni is filled with dudes who sit on their arses all day, but still pack on muscle, because we hit the uni gym, do our compounds and such.

Let's assume you do the: 8 hours sleep, 8 hours work, 8 hours free time.
Throw in some proper strength training, and you'll have 6 hours of free time to play WoW.

*slams desk*

>tfw don't even care about losing bag space

Warlocks and hunters will lose a bag slot for their ammo/soul shards. You will also lose bag slots to your mounts.

I won't care. I will be comfy again.

Its a shame we won't have TBC talents (or will we?) though - they were genuinely good, though a bit broken for vanilla.

what the fuck does this meme game have to do with lifting? MODS

I remember when this came out i was almost in year 9. It was school holidays and my friends were all playing.

i used to be a high achieving student, was in the debating team, captain of the chess club, was learning a new language, one of the first in my year to kiss a grill, captain of the waterpolo team, starting team for rugby under 14's, starting team for basketball under 14's starting team for waterpolo, played the piano, played the guitar, state swimmer, district school representative in running. Just became a yellow belt in tae kwon do.

and little by little i lost it all.


WoW was magical. Never had i felt so accomplished, spending 14 hrs straight grinding, or travelling to regions which were above my current level just to get a glimpse of them. Being part of my first raid. Getting my first mount. Getting trolled. Getting better weapons. Getting better pets. Grinding to get money to buy stupid shit. Creating a new character to try it out. Repeating the process over and over.

When school finished i would rush home and play til 12.

I started skipping homework to play. my grades slipped, slowly with each passing term.

I started skipping co curricular activities in the afternoon. Chess, debating, school sport all started to take a backseat to WoW

I started to skip morning and arfternoon swimming sessions . I used to swim up to 8 times a week. it went down to 1 or 2.

I stopped eating well, i wouldnt cook the leftovers when i got home, I would skip breakfast and lunch on weekends instead i would buy chips and a coke and play all day or night.

I lost all potential i had that year.

The sleep habits, the eating habits, the health habits, the confidence loss lingered for years after as well.

It took a long 5 years time to get back to a shell of what i once was, or could have been. And i often wonder where i would be now if it wasn't for that fucken game.

im still torn...

I hate that game so much for the potential it took away from me.

BUT

i would give everything i accomplished away if i could go back to that naive happy masturbating teen sitting there in front of his computer back in 2005

>because the game got boring fucking FAST and playerbase was dropping

oh yeah dude, when vanilla came out there was a lot of interest at first but once people found out how bad and boring it was, everyone started quitting

except wait that's not what happened at all

fucking retard

I don't see how WoW and lifting is mutually exclusive. You can play like a madman and still lift a lot.

yea it's sad, I stuck with it until lich king. remembering my first time hitting the city and selling a few shirts on the AH, Just walking around astounded by everything.. the feels man.. I didn't need this.

Thanks for the blog update brazha

WotLK is better.

You can never go back.

Not sure why people are negging hard, this is pretty spot on desu

Why are we still here just to suffer.

>pull now or I leave
>mfw Im do this

Vanilla WoW was a trash watered down EverQuest. You lived a lie, faggot.

You can smell the poor hygiene in this post

Never thought I’d get to play my vanilla shaman again. Can’t wait destroy everyone in pvp again with frost shock

...

The community is gone. There may be some oldfags, but the majority of players will be the same ones playing now who say things like this. It's not going to be the same and it's not going to be good.

If you can manage the discipline required to meal prep, count calories, hit the gym etc, then you can manage the discipline to manage your time to squeeze in some video games here and there.

My life is going to spiral downwards into total ruin when this comes out and I am going to love every second of it.

top kek, this is one of the rare virgin v chad I haven't seen.

Saved

>excited about PvP
This nigga obviously didn't experience the halcyon days of the original Ultima Online. It was glorious.

So you skip cardio entirely? Wtf dude, how high is your pulse right now?

True story; when they announced this I signed up for wow again and just finished leveling to 110 and im in full purple gear in 4 days. i have gotten sick from playing 14hrs a day and i havent lifted in over a week

this man gets it.

vanilla wasnt amazing because of the game itself.... it was the community of the realm. the battle between guilds to defeat bosses. rivalry.

grind fest
no thanks

I'd play wrath but fuck vanilla

i swear if these new servers cost more than 5 bucks per month i will bomb blizz hq

i became the best rogue on my realm, the only rogue with the best PVE gear for every slot.... trust me it waasnt meh. I was fucking famous. i know it was a bullshit game... but holy shit thats a feeling i've never felt since.

That's a terrorist threat, you realize you can legit get several years jail time for that?

Also you know this place is a honeypot right? There's certain memes you just can't say, terrorist threats are always taken very seriously no matter how meme it is.

I hope you were behind 18 proxies

only 7

EverQuest was just a watered down UO for normie fags who couldn't handle relentless PKing.

>Mfw I spent the years since quitting in Cata to get a good degree, get a good social group, get big, and set my life in order
>Mfw I can afford to play WoW and still be incredibly happy where my life's at
Sort yourself out and then you can afford to play again (Just keep yourself sorted)

Been playing off and on since 2005. What do you say, should I get Legion? Never even played MoP/WoD etc.

Oh I never came back after Cata , I poked my head in and saw selfies and LFR cancer so I noped on out.
I'm just waiting for Classic at this point

I play heroes

this
and all the r*ddit spacing in this thread jesus fuck

Legion is hot fucking garbage. It's a single player game now dude. There are add ons that group you automatically for world quests, auto groups for dungeons and raids, and no world pvp.

Don't do it, I got to 110 and played out the rest of the month and it was a complete waste of my time.

faggot ass

>r*ddit spacing

Only newfags talk about "reddit spacing".

>mfw I didn't enjoy video games even when I was a teenager so there's no chance of me ever wasting time playing them
Have fun boys

You missed out on some huge stuff doggo.

Like what?

when i told my gf about the announcement she immediately got angry and shrugged it off knowing im going to play a lot

Dude, on his deathbed, zzyz says he never wished he gave up wow.

>chair got bigger to fit huge buff bod
>CRT to LCD

it checks out.

I will make use of this by doing a cut
When you are addicted to an mmo cutting is the easiest fucking thing ever
Problem is the last time I was addicted to an mmo was wow wotlk

If you don't play this you're gay
