Since i’ll be able to talk with my realid friends who will be horde, and I will be alliance, what is there to prevent us communicating back and forth about lets say the horde raiding the alliance or vice versa. Or me telling my friend that we are going to raid a horde guild getting ready for mc. Part of the magic of classic is not knowing when this was going to happen. If there is open lines of communication between the 2 factions, especially on a pvp server that magic is lost.
Nothing is stopping you from using a 3rd party program to do so outside of the client.

You think that’s bad? There is this crazy program called “Discord” where you can even talk to them using your voice.

Yes and back then you could use teamspeak and vent, but battlenet chat was not in the game and i could not openly talk with a player from another faction through the game, it is not classic. It is a quality of life change and the more of those they add, the less classic it will be.

It’s there. Not much we can do.
Back then it was a lot hard to do so. You had to pay for a team speak server not everyone had cell phones. Facebook wasn’t a thing. Discord wasn’t around.
Blizzards thought on it is people will be able to communicating regardless of what they do so they might a swell as allow people to talk with there other friends playing other blizzard games.
The world is so much more connected now than it was just a mere 15 years ago. Can’t stop progress.
We had IRC back then (and I’m sure some still use IRC). Worked identically to the way Discord is working now, had both factions there and you could communicate to your hearts content. No difference there.
