It's going to be dead a few days into the launch, seeing as that even back in 2008 everyone beat T7 content pretty much by default with quite a bit weaker classes than 3.3.3 ones, leveling professions in Wrath is essentially free (it's actually much easier to cap professions sans alchemy in Wrath than in TBC, because 350-375 with TBC recipes is tougher than 350-450 with Wrath ones, and for most professions you don't even need to cap it), and there's no useful gear outside raids.

Like, there have been FRESH WotLK private servers (usually with 2x rates, or 3x rates for 1-68 and 1x for 68-80, or something along those lines) that delayed the launch of their buffed raids for two or three weeks, and in that time not only can you 100% cap your character complete with SWP gear from running splits, Darkmoon Card: Greatness for your offspecs, exalted Sons of Hodir (farming Relics of Ulduar), dozens of stacks of flame caps stockpiled, etc, but 100% cap your alts (other than the SWP gear). After that the next time there's any mechanical incentive whatsoever to do anything else but raidlog is taking Emblems of Frost from daily heroic in simulated 3.3 patch, or maybe grabbing Abyssal rune from ToC5.

And note that almost all that effort won't be a thing in non-FRESH servers. You don't have to level characters 1-70 (3/4 of the effort), you don't have to level professions 1-350 (90% of the effort for most professions), you don't have to do a single dungeon (since you can EASILY do the raids as fresh 80s straight from class trainer, and raid gear obsoletes dungeon gear), etc.

It's nice to rewatch the cutscenes on YouTube.

Poopsock raiders are history.
No one wants to do that shit anymore.
MMO's should be fun for everyone not the small percentage of losers who raid.

try 6 weeks lmao

>Any day now

You blizzdrones are delusional if you really believe your game isn't already dead. You don't even have as much players as Destiny 2 lmao

i regret not being there in that initial classic wow release, genuinely seemed like a fun time

It's the worst implementation of vanilla to date so you've missed out on more from having skipped any given random private server launch, and the good part of vanilla is the world/leveling content so you get to enjoy it in similar capacity in any TBC/Wrath FRESH.

Actually, it's not launch as much as it is presence of new players that make the world feel lively, it's just that most of the time 95% of players start playing at launch and from then on the population only ever goes down. I haven't played on the server myself, but I understand Turtle WoW has actually managed to grow, so you'd find a bunch of new players there, and get the "fresh server" experience there. Or wait for literally any pre-Cata server launch, because there wasn't anything special about Classic (other than servers being laggy pieces of shit, having the worst community known to man, etc).
