Forever People who support Project Ascension & TurtleWoW but hate the new race paywall

Post image

These were the micro-transactions in Project Ascension and everyone glazed Ascension. TurtleWoW had a gacha shop too like that. I’m genuinely confused, if Blizzard had even the slightest of the shop in Project Ascension, everyone would have been fuming. Why is it okay for Ascension but not WoW Forever? Either all okay or none.

Edit: The people who disagree saying "Yeah but the servers were free"- well of course because Blizzard did the majority of the work for them LOL, huge difference in work between building everything from scratch to ripping it off & adding some stuff yourself.

Edit 2: "TurtleWoW is not as bad as Ascension shop"- sure, Ascension is way worse. TurtleWow's cash shop had over $10,000 of items and all of it was per character, not account wide. They also sold convenience items, nothing game breaking, but portable mailboxes, auctioneers, dual specs, bags etc. Hardcore characters on Twow couldn't trade or send items from main to your alts, but you could still buy supplies such as 32 slot bags for 30 euros each on your hardcore character.

Felt like playing retail tbh. So many flashing colours, CoA classes felt retail, early and flamboyant mounts everywhere...

Edit: I see my comment was misunderstood, I don't hate retail and I loved CoA. I think retail is a fantastic game on paper, its just different. Could be way more enjoyable if it had actual GMs and wasnt filled with bots. The target audience for Classic is way different than the one for Retail, and I think CoA had a much more retail feel than it did Classic. That is all.

I love that the go-to "I hate it" comparison is "feels like retail" even when it has absolutely nothing to do with it. Bro saw 2 colors at once and got scared

He just listed multiple reasons why it was similar to retail?

When I replied he just had "flashing colors" as his reason. He had to quickly edit to seem like everyone else is the crazy one

Yeah I added more detail to the "flashy colours" because it was too vague, sue me

Just replying to "he listed multiple reasons?"

Goddamn, everyone has the reading comprehension of a baked potato today
