World of Warcraft

You know, I remember a time when the writers would look at a character who had completed their arc and decide "Alright, that is that. Let's out'em away".

They didn't do this all the time, of course, but they had the decency to do it occasionally...Or maybe the always intended on having a plan to bring old characters back for a quick buck and I'm letting nostalgia blind me, but I do remember reading an article all the way back in 2013-3014 of a lead Blizzard writer saying they'd never bring Arthas back because they felt his story ended on such a worthy note.
Why get rid of bankable, marketable characters that your head of creative is in love with? Coming up with new ideas is hard, which is why we have the Matryoshka doll that is this game's current lore. 10.0 will have the bad guys behind the bad guys behind the bad guys behind the bad guys behind the bad guys!

Well if we're doing the classics you can't go wrong with Cranius, I prefer Ballad of Captain Placeholder but this song is funnier.

Nyhm and the Azerothian 6, probably not everyone's cup of tea but I can't deny the lyrics are inspired and the WoW music scene really needed these guys. Hard like Heroic is still in one of my playlists.

Myndflame with the infinitely catchy Learn2Play

And the first WoW machinima I ever saw waaay back when I thought only Rooster Teeth (hey look, another disgraced company!) and DigitalPh33r had done anything similar

Honourable mentions to Black Temple Caramelldancing by ChaosSmurf which was terrible but spammed over TS2 every night for months by my GM and to Craft of War: Blind which featured an attack on Onyxia by Valeera Sanguinar. A follow up was made about 7 months ago which combined the shonen style from Tales of the Past's final battle, the smooth, musical combat of Blind and a fucking Leeroy Jenkins joke that was actually kind of nostalgic instead of massively cringe inducing.

Just another long line of things I've loved over the years that have been tarnished beyond repair.

Edit: Oh yeah and Who's The Tank.
Did Gigi sell her PVPGURL youtube channel or did she just get a bit too into Palestine? I remember at one point while archiving the music that the channel had shitloads of anti Israel videos and it seems to have been parred down to 7... is that her or just liquidating an asset?

I remember Nyhm from way back when he was big, looking at his channel now he's just dead in the water doing shitty Yhatzee-Maddox rip off reviews.

Gigi on the other hand, I don't know, her channel didn't post for 5 years, then came back with Israeli conspiracy theories a year ago. Probably sold the channel but she did have danger hair so who knows, maybe Trump broke her:

Actually considering the Zionist Onslaught channel only has a couple hundred subscribers and the videos are all just clips without her talking as far as I can see, it's probably someone else using the account.

It's her, check her twitter out, too: https://twitter.com/PVPGurl

She gets around: https://operationdisclosure1.blogspot.com/2020/07/pvpgurl-head-of-snake-wexner-maxwells.html

This is her new channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDpCAmFkJ_8N812t9IgEQqg
It has a link to her Facebook which in turn leads to her Instagram, all dual linked to Gigi and Jaja Jarrar which tells me it's probably actually her.

The reveal today was something leaked a few months ago... I'm not really surprised when they revealed the new expansion, Dragonflight.

Also WotLK Classic too.
BC struggled with the player population a few months after release.
I had trouble finding looking for groups when I tried doing dungeons in BC classic.
I doubt that there's going to be more people playing WotLK, especially with Blizzard's current state.

I fucking called it when Classic was announced that they would just rehash the releases and not do anything new. They need to do something on the level of Old School RuneScape, where they release new "classic-style" content that keeps the feeling.

But Blizzard doesn't have anybody with an imagination anymore.
 
Changes confirmed for Wrath Classic:
Personal Arena Rating
No Dungeon Finder
Barber Shop (hinted it be more akin to retails then the original one)

you know, LFD would be a good thing in classic if you were stuck in a dead server. no need to transfer server if its dead and can just play with other people outside your server.

Lol they're adding back in talent trees, talking about how great customization is.
Didn't you remove talent trees because you said everyone just used the same builds anyways? So how are you fixing that?

I'm so jaded. None of this is really doing it for me. I can just see all the faults and issues, and how they'll fuck us over ahead of time.
