Mists of Pandaria is the peak for many of World of Warcraft. But not everyone is satisfied when playing the Classic version.
For many WoW fans, a dream has come true, as they can once again experience the launch of Mists of Pandaria in the Classic version. Many are currently creating their Pandaren, completing quests in the Jade Forest, or have already begun to expand their little farm.
However, some are slowly realizing that they are drifting further away from the classic experience and have now reached a state closer to “modern” WoW – and they wish to have the conveniences of the latest expansion.
What is being discussed? In the WoW subreddit, shortly after the release of Mists of Pandaria Classic, the game is currently being discussed. Most people are enjoying Mists of Pandaria, but for many, the lines between what constitutes the true “Classic” spirit and the many nice conveniences present in retail are beginning to blur.
- “There are many quality of life improvements that I would have liked to have in Classic, but after WotLK, the game just doesn’t feel like “Classic” to me anymore. I just wish the class balance wasn’t so bad in Classic or TBC.” – schneizel101
- “I played the Pandaren starting area for the mount and immediately remembered why I prefer retail, even though I would love to play Mists of Pandaria for the ‘release experience’ feeling.
It’s like going back and playing one of the original Monster Hunters after Rise, World, and Wilds exist. There are just too many improvements to ignore.” – Akeeneyedguy - “Honestly, the biggest problem with Mists of Pandaria for me is something that started with Wrath of the Lich King or even The Burning Crusade.
It feels fantastic to create a Pandaren and play through the starting area. But then, before I can go to Pandaria with the Panda, I have to level through Vanilla, then TBC, then WotLK, and then Cata.” – TheGamingBDGR
“Mists of Pandaria is the best of Retail and Classic”
Many love Mists of Pandaria: However, there are also many who are happy with Mists of Pandaria and have found their home there. Because for some, Mists of Pandaria is the perfect blend of the feel of Classic and the modern innovations that have made their way into the game over the years:
- “Mists of Pandaria is just the sweet spot between retail and classic for me.” – HoodieNinja17
- “It simply has the best of both worlds.” – cdcadrian
