Obviously, WoW Classic is going to do very well and succeed and we’ll all love it.
My question to you, the community, is what do you want after? Let’s say, six months after Naxx. Would you want to start moving into Classic Burning Crusade?
Me personally, I’d like to see what Blizzard would have done if they hadn’t been so ready to push out the Warcraft III characters, because that’s why BC and Wrath came so quickly after Vanilla, people wanted to see what happened to Arthas and Illidan and Kael’thas and etc. So seeing as how the trailer for Classic deals with Chromie poking fun at time travel, alternate universes, imagine that WoW Classic is in an alternate universe. Classic remains the same, but they continue expansions (or dedicated servers only that have the expansions unlocked) that are different in terms of expansion progression than what they did originally.
What would you like to see? Same beats as before, or alternate pathways?
I don’t mean to be rude, but there are probably a million threads on this kind of thing already. You don’t even have to use the search bar. Just keep scrolling.
If classic is successful (no guarantee it will be), we will see BC and maybe wrath servers. But alternate time lines? Idk, just like #nochangesclassic, I’d also want #nochangesTBC
I don’t think we’ll hear anything Classic for a good amount of time after launch.
Given all the threads about what to do after Nax on this forum alone, some of you I’d assume will be going crazy during that time.
I think we will hear word on either Classic+ or TBC Classic at Blizzcon 20’ but even that is too soon for me.
No changes after naxx, just add Tuskarr playable race.
1 post, topic that’s been beat to death. Move on.
This take is new to me.
I believe TBC was originally supposed to launch earlier – around Thanksgiving 2006 – and got pushed back into 2007. For people who’d been around since 2004, vanilla was quite stale by late 2006. They hadn’t added any new zones in patches. A huge gear gap was widening between raiders and casual players, since there wasn’t any way to gear-up casually. People were anxious for new races and classes.
Similar situation with TBC. The word from Blizzard around the time of TBC launch was that expansions were going to be coming every year or so. TBC lasted much longer than that.
Certainly some people wanted to see what was going on with Illidan, Kael, and especially Arthas. But for every person like that there was someone else saying, “well, if we kill Arthas at the end of WotLK what next? does that mean the game is over?” There was definitely a sense that the game was going to kill off its best villain too early. Which I think is what ended up happening.
After Classic?
TBC. I didn’t read the post. Didn’t need to.
No.
I want Vanilla exactly as it was until I get tired of playing it.
Classic-only expansions are a terrible idea. If they want to do TBC/Wrath…fine but I won’t play them.
I would love more content post classic, but I would absolutely not want all of the classic content to be negated.
Less threads on what happens in 2 years, and more on what happens in a month.
Sounds like a slice of magic combined with heaven to me
