Below are changes to classic that have accumulated over the years that deviate from the original game. These are the good, bad, and ugly changes that only serve as a daily reminder that this will never be an authentic classic experience and we just have to accept them. These changes are fine but we can’t have Stormrend, no, no, it’s too good for us. If these are going to stay good or bad, we might as well get something like Stormrend too!
