let’s just put it this way. if they shard beyond level 10, myself and many many many others will be on the way out the door. permanently.
not just “we’re going to wait for sharding to get turned off”.
no. we’re gone. period. end of discussion. and that opinion, based on various forums and message boards is very widely regarded.
Blizzard initially told us we we’re not going to have sharding in classic.
i feel i’m being nice just by accepting them sharding 1-10.
Good for you… I’m not going to let what is clearly a need to get past the first few days of madness ruin my overall gaming experience. But you go ahead and stick to your guns! Any sharding past the first 10 hours is UNACCEPTABLE!!! I applaud you sir… you and your many many many others.
They did choose a direction. Did you not see its implementation in the demo?
They said they are considering an option of limited sharding. I am not about to start assuming the full details. I will wait until they show more.
What they have not said is if they are considering NOT using sharding at all.
yeah no. sharding isn’t NEEDED.
did blizzard confirm sharding in classic yet? if so show me a source.
Then do not play until the rush is over.
They didn’t, dudes straight making up that they confirmed it. Although I’m sure they will… like I said earlier, blizzard loves ruining titles.
Literally posted multiple times in this thread… They said that it will be in and the balance will be determining how much sharding they do and for how long…
i’m pretty sure it will be in too. and as long as it’s 1-10 only, i’ll live.
you should be able to provide a source then. because the last i heard was they were considering using sharding at launch.
That have confirmed nothing other than BNet. That is hardly any level of discussion though.
Might as well spam #NoChange and move on.
The approach to coming to a reasonable and plausible discussion is by using what we have seen and heard.
The demo is the source that sharding exists in Classic. It is now up to Blizzard to tell us if it stays and at why depth.
So tell me. Where has Blizzard shown that they have taken sharding out or are willing to take it out.
Unless we are sticking with “it wasn’t in vanilla and it won’t be in Classic”. That’s wearing blinders to the topic.
i fully expect sharding to be used at launch. and so long as blizzard is true to what they have said so far (only using for a limited time and only 1-10) i’ll live with that.
the moment they step outside that, they lose more money.
That’s where we disconnect. I am not here discussing ultimatums. That’s fine for you to choose where and how you spend your money and time.
I am discussing perspectives as to why Blizzard is doing what they do.

All you have to do is watch the BlizzCon Classic Panel… and have played the demo…simple…
Neither of which confirm it. Do they strongly support the idea of sharding in classic? Yes. But blizzard has not said 100% sharding in classic
you accept sharding for limited levels that can be reached in a few hours…
but nothing after that… this is ridiculous…
I accept sharding for a limited time frame; that being the smallest amount of time possible just to get past the first rush of players… this is reasonable.
Dude could you imagine what a mess it would be with multiple world bosses up… so much of the fun is player generated content and sharding kills that
No reasonable would be blizzard holding true to their initial promise of no sharding. Seeing as they aren’t, I’m going to be nice and hold them to their second word.
Yep they already said that there should only be ONE Kazzak up on a server at a time. Like I said I don’t think the areas they covered in content phases equate to content patches. Just phases with multiple acess patches within the content phase. This is why I think sharding for the initial leveling will not be an issue and people who are being hyperbolic about it are literally hyperventilating over nothing…
