Staysafe was telling a story about his venture into Blizzard HQ and how he went into the Classic DEV team office with about 6 desks and a whiteboard with only the words #nochanges written on it.
They confirmed it in the interview.
#nochanges and no Sharding! Classic : )
Dev team is securing the existence of vanilla wow. I approve.
Either the starting zones have sharding or 2 weeks after launch you will need server merging. You pick

False choice. Server mergers will be needed no matter what they do.

Which was my point! Without sharding the starting zones it will be about 2 weeks. With sharding the starting zones it will likely be many months.
Then Ion said screw your billboard here's sharding.

Ion's the lead dev on live WoW, I'd be shocked if he was a part of Classic.

Easiest choice ever. Merge.
seems like the devs care about classic. we just need to keep activisions grubby hands away from it.

So your logic is the starting zone must crash all the time due to 1000 people being in it on launch day and all the other higher level zones being dead with noone to even pvp with until they merge your server with 5 others....instead of shard just the starting zone and have plenty of no shard people in the high level zones to play and fight with... yeah that makes as much sense as hitting your hand with a hammer to make your foot not seem like it hurts.

What do I care? I'll only be logging in the first day to create/save names and park them for a week or two before playing.
#nochanges
Too bad they aren't keeping with that.
Now, I have my own opinions on what is being introduced to Classic, short or long term, but it isn't exactly #NoChanges, more like #AsLittleChangesAsPossible.

Not doing Classic at all would save a ton of hardware and cs…11/11/2018 06:41 PMPosted by Nufan#nochanges #exceptonesthatsaveBlizzmoneyonhardwareandCS
Staysafe?
when they do the server mergers could they add a hidden surname (former server name) so that the players can retain their names?
