In World of Warcraft Classic, there are curious and heartwarming moments. In good tradition, players wait in line – sometimes for a long time.
Last night, the “Pre Launch Test” of World of Warcraft Classic began. Here, the server structure was to be tested thoroughly to ensure everything goes smoothly at launch.
As expected, numerous players participated in the test and gathered on the servers. However, this also led to the starting areas being overcrowded, and players had to be patient. The discipline they exhibited and the respect they showed to each other is remarkable.
What happened? In the starting area of the Orcs in Durotar, there is a quest line that ends with players needing to kill the dangerous scorpion Sarkoth. The problem is: dozens of players have to kill the scorpion. In WoW Classic, however, there was no “shared mob tagging” yet. This means that only players in the same group can loot a foe.
For the rest of the players, the mob turns “gray” as soon as another group has attacked it. This could theoretically lead to a dispute over who attacks the mob first to secure the loot. Not, however, during the Classic test.
Players line up politely: As the video shows, players solved the problem differently. Instead of fighting each other by wildly spamming abilities around the scorpion Sarkoth, they politely formed a line and waited their turn.
More than 20 people lined up and patiently waited for their turn to kill the scorpion.
Quests like 15 years ago: For many players, this is exactly the “Classic” feeling. It consists of consideration for one another and also a certain deceleration and relaxation. Due to the waiting times, there are also more social interactions while waiting for a common goal.
Whether this will also be the case at the actual launch of Classic remains to be seen. However, those who are on an “ego tour” should not be surprised if their reputation on the server is soon ruined…
Did you have similar experiences during the pre-launch test? Or was it a wild brawl over the mob for you?
