Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Ok, so the board is called Suggestions, and it is noted that "we are always up for new suggestions"; however, I don't see a point for this discussion board to even be here. Literally the only answer that is ever given is "It isn't Blizzlike, so no." Why even bother making new suggestions? Of course suggestions are not going to be Blizzlike. If it is suggestions on how to make the server more Blizzlike, this board should be renamed to "Corrections."

My advice is to not pay too much attention to the "It's not Blizzlike" crowd. They have some points I'll admit, but sometimes they forget that the population is insanely high and thus, Blizzlike might not be enough for player retention. Premade-dodging in BGs being a shining example by one member of a premade entering a BG and seeing if it's a premade or not, turning an 8v8 into a 3v8. By removing multiqueues and forcing the entire premade to enter the BG when one accepts, it'll stop favoring the premade-dodgers so much. I firmly believe some quest items should be 100% or near 100% drop, like parts on animals. You ever quest in the Barrens and be told you need to find a number of hooves from those zebra things, skulls/heads from the raptors, teeth from the lions, and nothing drops? Yeah, stuff along those lines.

Also, maybe, make the unique hunter pets respawn a little faster. The population is far higher than a retail server after all. So there's that much more competition among campers for The Rake (in the beginning anyway), Lupos, Broken Tooth, Snarler, etc.

Yup, pretty much. No suggestion should be accepted because that would make the server 'not blizzlike'. But at the same time, let's ignore everything that already isn't 'blizzlike' here because..they don't matter apparently.

Let's also bash every other server that says they're 'blizzlike' because everything 'not blizzlike' on those servers completely ruins them, unlike all the things that are 'not blizzlike' on this server.

I guess that just about sums it all up.

This board exists because it isn't necessarily aimed at the server itself, but the community as a whole. There are a lot of suggestions that fall outside the realm of game play that can be considered, debated, and possibly implemented if agreed upon by the staff. The Item Marketplace comes to mind where users requested a separate forum regarding item crafting, buying, selling, and trading. Others that are being considered by the staff are a better way to reset account passwords and subsections in the Support forum so the first page isn't littered with ban appeals and "I can't connect and I didn't read the stickies, HELP ME WHAT DO I DO???!!!"

That said, there have been a few exceptions to tweak the "blizzlikefulness" of the server when the need arises. The change to the herb and mineral node respawn rates comes to mind. However, there is still merit to the whole "not blizzlike" argument. If any idea was implemented simply because "it's a good idea" or "the community would really enjoy it" then this server would quickly cease to be blizzlike in nature. That's not to say all non-blizzlike suggestions should be shot down and never considered, but there has to be substantial reason and a compelling argument for wanting to make it happen; not just "other servers do it! It's a great thing and I'd really like it!"
