I would love for them to have a Classic Subscription that’s joined and also separate to the Retail subscription.
For example: “If you pay for a Battle for Azeroth World of Warcraft subscription (with a WoW token or $) you’ll have access to both World of Warcraft: Classic as well as Battle for Azeroth.”
OR you can pay say… $9.99 for a WoW Classic sub and not have access to Battle for Azeroth. (I would see this as an extremely good market strategy directly pointed at the market of people who want WoW Classic but don’t want BFA / people who played private servers and basically haven’t touched ‘retail’ in several expansions.
This would help them get a clearer view of just how many people are there for the Classic experience not just something to do. They can also be making more money off of Classic alone.
My only immediate problem with this is, if people in the ‘camp’ of players who are there for WoW classic and nothing else might want a “Gold” option / WoW classic token option… This is just me spit-balling but perhaps they could pay for a WoW classic sub for like… 150 Gold? Who knows… Maybe make it so that you can only buy classic tokens from Blizzard for a static gold price but not able to sell so the gold market doesn’t get inflated? Maybe this is a bit of an ambitious idea but I am curious as to what you all think.
But I imagine there’s plenty of people who would jump all over paying for a Classic Only sub only and not wanting anything to do with BFA, especially if it was at a reduced price.
