I will be reading all the quests texts, quest item flavor texts, books and letters etc that I can find.
Why ?
To immerse myself in the respective story of each zone, the role of the NPCs within it, and just to learn a bit more about how everything connects.
Also, I personally feel it makes the rpg in MMORPG big! and that it is an essential part of it.
Besides, reaching lvl 60 just a few hours faster by passing up on all that !content! is not my idea of reliving Classic WoW.

My plan... is to have no plan. I will focus in on the quests in some zones but others I don’t really care for. And in some level brackets, I will prefer to level up in dungeons. For example BFD.

Hey, sometimes no plan can be an absolute blast!

You know, it's funny. As many hours as I put into vanilla, I've forgotten a lot of stuff. I recently logged into Elysium just to mess around and I forgot how wonderful the world was pre-cataclysm. I didn't realize how used to post-cata I was in retail. I'm so excited to reacquaint myself with the old world. :)

I guess that just makes all the more exciting to play through again while giving yourself the time to enjoy it fully.
What is th point of rushing 60 if there arent even enough other players to form dungeon grps at that level...

Exactly! Also, I plan on doing a lot of BG's with my character and it won't even be available for a while.

My plan is to read, get the roleplaying aspect of the game and so on, but honestly, from here and now I can see the future me rushing the crap out of the game. Happens every time... Slow me down!

Why do you care?

No need to be rude. :sad:

Nah I didn't mean to but I just hate polls. I am following news here and on /r/classicwow and it seems that every other day there's a poll about something.

I asked because I really can't tell who's genuinely curious anymore or who's trying to reassure him/herself of something they're not sure about (faction/race/class/profession choice, how many hour/week they're going to spend, how many people are not going to "min/max" just like them etc.) and I have nothing against believing what you want to believe for whatever reason, just that I think if you are in that category then should find better arguments than other people's opinion on the matter because people will often say/vote things which confirms or supports their bias, and if you want to do it then it would be better to get an honest impression via comments or something more intellectually engaging than a poll which requires no effort or argument to participate.

But I guess it's fine if you're just curious.

Some other variant:
I don't claim to want to read every quest text, but I will undoubtedly take my time, do professions, do dungeons - hang out with guildies and do random PvP etc. along the way. If I try to rush to 60 I will either burn out, or get frustrated at 60 waiting to do certain content. If I read every quest text and take too long, I may get bored/frustrated with a lack of progress. I will just try be efficient during questing/grinding, but stopping to do other stuff and soak up some atmosphere.

Slow rolling really. I'm playing a pretty middle of the pack leveller, and will be experiencing each dungeon when I'm eligible for it, level wise.

No intention to rush my way through, and I fully intend to level my professions concurrently.

That said, I'll be playing as much as I'm able to, outside of work/gym. I don't have much of a social life at the best of times so that's less of a concern. :wink:

Honestly I've never been a fan of reading quest texts, but I will try to somewhat do it this time, even if it is just skimming thru it. I tried it in TESO and tbh I quite liked it, so I'm going to try that again, since I've never done it.

My plan is to level at my own pace. I won't be able to powerlevel as I did back then (not that much free time compared to the Vanilla days) but with the knowledge I have today, I'm sure I'll level more efficiently than back then. I'm not going to "powerlevel", since I want to level my professions at the same time. I'll also do some BG's or some world PvP whenever I feel like doing it. I'll basically do what I want to do at the time. Having fun with friends/guildies on the way to 60 is more important to me!

Great Taurens think alike, brother.

Since I've never played Classic, I'm surely going to take my time enjoying it as much as I can.

I'll try roleplaying, just for kicks.

Most likely I will just rush through the quests on my main, and have a more calm stroll smelling all the roses on my alt. Or maybe the other way around, maybe I'll level an alt first..

I'm planning to push as hard as I can while also reading and enjoying the journey.

I just want to get up and rolling.
