it is not guarentee'd to have all the aspects of classic gameplay... just the hard grinding part of it really... the undertuned classes vs the overpowered classes... i saw a video where dungoun finder tab was in there?
most ppl will get a hard reminder that all that nostalgia was not as fun as a whole as they thought as they hit the hard barriers of classic... lvl 20... lvl 50... dungouns where u have to take slow pulls, breaks for drinking, and cc to defeat... it was said in a video blizzard themselves done expect the majority to make it past lvl 20 b4 quitting... oh and sharding, although they say wont be in there... doubt they ll take it out...
Demo was a work-in-progress. They started with the Legion client and are working backwards to emulate Vanilla. They have an actual Vanilla code base they can compare their work to but are not going to be using it since they fixed a lot of things over the years (exploits etc.). Their panel discussion gave me a lot of confidence that Blizzard truly wants to deliver an authentic experience.
I don’t buy the “nostalgia” comment at all. Some (ahem) have played on private servers and clearly state that the game is still immensely enjoyable and not a quaint short-term step back in time. Obviously, opinions may vary.
As for sharding, Blizzard wants to use that in the short-term to deal with realm stability, but the Classic community is extremely vocal to make sure it does not taint their servers beyond the initial couple of weeks.
As a Vanilla vet, I can’t wait.
