What will go on the news page for the classic Wowhead? Presumably there will be no news...?
Wowhead's design (UI/UX) already feels very dated to most modern sites. While I can appreciate the novelty of making the site feel even older for Classic I don't think you have to do much - no offense. I feel like this site has been due for an overhaul for a while now. Hire me, I'll help make that happen :)
This is great stuff. I can’t wait to see what professions can do again without being ruined by Legion and BFA!
And so it begins. The experience of Vanilla of running around lost and confused looking for quest items and finishing them is gone. You want to do Classic a service? Revive Thottbot or Alakazam (Sp check lol)
Everyone with a brain knows Vanilla WoW is going to disappoint. Because in no way we're getting the ACTUAL experience back and the only people interested are the ones who used to play back then... So people are going to ragequit hours after installing. But by then, a lot of money and hours that could have been spent on current WoW, have been wasted. But at the same time, the very VERY few people who are just whiners about current gamestate that used to play back then and don't remember how bad it was, will be leaving current WoW, but not returning if Classic disappoints, and then less money will be coming in. This whole idea is destructive and bad. I hope they still cancel it, any minute spent on this is a factual waste of time and money.
man i am so excited for this. great job wowhead! sure its not thottbot but who cares. people who rememeber those sites are honored anyways to say our humble beginnings on resources and information.i am hype nevertheless
If ZAM does not use Thottbot and provide the authentic experience then they will be on equal footing with the dozens of classic databases already out there. That means that I or someone else, people that really care about the experience or simply know the OG is not on the market, could make and or update our own databases to provide that experience and cater to the classic community specifically.It would be like Blizzard making Classic using the current graphics and models...
Nice :)
Please make an effort to use the old thottbot art/theme even if it's not 100 percent the same
lol I agree that Blizzard should actively prevent any form of documented information about Classic WoW other than a single, very vague list of things within the game.
It'll be great having an actual professional database for vanilla! So far there is another site for some private servers... but it feels incomplete.
Really excited for this, by chance can you ensure that when you find a zone in the database the quest tab for that zone (Dungeons in particular) will show all appropriate quests for it? That's one of the main reasons I used resources in early WoW was to ensure I picked up all the quests before joining a group for content.
That site better be called Thottbot or Alakhazam.
When can we expect to hear about contributing? I'm very excited to help! I also never got a confirmation about the feedback form I filled out :(
This is the best news I've heard all year!
Yea, sorry no Wowhead for me. I played Vanilla and I want to remember and enjoy the gameplay without any help. But thanks for making the new site for those who can't hack playing Classic.
Bring back Thottbot! (and Dallas)
I was hoping that you guys would do this, I did hope it would be called Thottbot though.
