I had a fantastic time on Nostalrius last year - it's not *only*
nostalgia, or I wouldn't have lasted the entire 6 month lifespan of
the PVE server there. The main thing for me is that levelling felt
meaningful - certainly, many people hate it but I'm not among the
"rush to endgame asap" brigade - I LOVE exploring the world,
travelling all over on those gigantic chains that sent you everywhere.
What post-Cata quest chain sticks in the mind like the Missing
Diplomat or the Alliance Onyxia chain?

I don't play vanilla at present; obviously Nost was shut down, I
levelled on Magic but that never really took off, once Legion came out
my friends and I all moved on. I did copy my Nost account to Elysium
in the short period that was available, but the some from my guild
couldn't get their copies working, some had their accounts hacked,
plus I'd kinda lost faith in private servers so I'm on Legion and
GuildWars 2 now instead. Probably my account's been hacked too by now
lol, been months since I checked :-P

But if Blizzard ever offer official classic servers I will absolutely
be there. Give me a permanent official server where my characters will
be safe, where all the scripting is done right (private servers are a
pretty good replica but I've got too good a memory of the old quests,
so it grates a bit where it isn't the same!), and I'd definitely be
happy to pay for it. If only Blizzard would decide it's a worthwhile
project...
