A question from the AMA:
"Will the Skeletons that appear when someone dies be the same as it was originally? Right now they disappear after you die again, they used to stay longer than that.
It’s kinda important because it used to indicate dangerous areas, when there were a lot of Skeletons on the floor."
Bliz response:
“While we understand that this was a flavorful part of Original WoW and the earlier expansions, individual players leaving multiple player corpses and skeletons throughout the game world can lead to behavior such as spelling out advertisements, hate speech, and other negative messages. As such, this will not be a part of WoW Classic.”
This is a really disgusting answer. Very sad that you do this.

Of course they would try and say it’s because of hate speech. California will be California though I guess

Nothing disgusting about it. I think that’s a very reasonable change. Do you really want “(Insert Hated Political Candidate Here) 2020” spelled out on the floor in front of the Ironforge bank around this time next year?

It’s not disgusting, it’s a legitimate answer. It was a legit concern back then too. Time to get over it, you have your answer.

People can do this with live player characters too. This is an unnecessary “fix”. This mindset is going to be the downfall of this project.
They don’t even allow COLORS for names. You can’t have the word BLACK in your guild name. It’s pathetic.

This can still be done with bodies. Skeleton spawn time is irrelevant to anyone who is actively trying to do something like this.
They are removing a cool feature that was part of the game because of cry babies. Jist like they gutted the game in a continuous fashion for people constantly crying about changes they wanted to selfishly make the game “better”

The idea it prevents advertisement is kinda silly. Gold sellers just use multiple characters. That just leaves hate speech.
Just add a broom item that removes skeletons. Would it be less vanilla then?

Getting rid of hate speech is a ridiculous response for a game with a chat system.
I bet it’s really just for server clutter load, or squeamish parents not letting kids play, or some such nonsense. They probably don’t remember why they got rid of it when they did.

Yes but with live characters you can report. There are no player names to report for a skeleton.
