&gt; WoW is just old now, and it&#x27;s still an alright game, but it&#x27;s been out for too long. I believe TBC and WOTLK came out after Activision purchase and those expansions were great.<p>Those were my two favorite expansions. I quit when Cataclysm was released. That said, I recently resubscribed and have been enjoying playing it periodically. Unfortunately, the skill set &quot;crunch&quot; feels too much like the game mechanics have been dumbed down, sapping away the spirit of the game. I thought I liked the changes at first until I discovered they ripped out a ton of core class skills and pushed forward with some really bizarre decisions. (My girlfriend is playing a death knight, and she&#x27;s perplexed as to why only frost spec allows her to dual wield--almost as puzzled as I was to discover that shaman totems feel more like a bolted-on mechanic than they were before.)<p>But, I assume this change was an attempt to pull new people into the game and not leave it with a decidedly intimidating number of talents and spells. I liked it the way it was, some people didn&#x27;t, and that&#x27;s just the way things are, I suppose. Nostalgic folk aren&#x27;t the target demographic at this point, and while I think I can live with that, I&#x27;m still undecided if I&#x27;m going to continue my subscription after this month. MMOs seem to be in a race for the bottom, and I don&#x27;t really have the time anymore to invest in new ones. C&#x27;est la vie.<p>One thing I wish they&#x27;d do is bring back the <i>old</i> expansions in a manner that would allow you to play them mostly as they were (perhaps with some improvements, such as reduced raid sizes, but keeping the spirit of the game as close to how it was when that expansion was released). I wouldn&#x27;t even care if I had to re-roll, but if I could level through all the expansions as I did before--the ones I enjoyed, anyway--or lock into one and play that content at the appropriate level, I&#x27;d happily pay the subscription indefinitely. Sure, there are private servers out there (requiring one to break the EULA) that attempt to recreate older versions at various points, but the quality varies so wildly they&#x27;re almost not worth it--legal issues and ethics aside.<p>Hey, I can dream. It won&#x27;t happen. It&#x27;d be too costly to implement with very little reward, and I doubt it&#x27;d bring back many of the older players who swore off the game due to whatever recent changes drove them away (possibly alienating the new players in the process). WoW is a cash cow now, so there&#x27;s unlikely to be any disruption that could threaten that income. Sadly.
