What content will these 6 phases be offering?

There is content set up for PvE and PvP for each phase and I will grab those list when I have a chance. Are you not aware of this?

PvE content plan for the 6 phases it’s literally stickied but here ya go.

Classic Content Plan

At BlizzCon 2018, we proposed a plan to give Classic four content phases. These were planned to be centered primarily on raid power progression. Currently, based on both your feedback and our own deliberations, we’re now planning to increase it to six phases. Our focus is still primarily on player power-progression, but we’re also aiming to capture what it felt like to play in a realm community in original WoW. To do that, we’re planning to mirror the approach taken by original WoW, with patche…

PvP content plan for the 6 phases

Classic PvP Content Plan

Since we broke down the six phases of content that we’ll be rolling out for Classic, we’ve heard the increase in requests for PvP details so we wanted to get you up to speed on our plans there. As was the case when World of Warcraft originally launched in 2004, there won’t be a formal PvP system in WoW Classic at the outset. You’ll still be able to PvP, of course, and there will be no Dishonorable Kills, so you’ll be free to repeatedly hunt down every player and NPC in, say, Stranglethorn Vale …

I fully expect Classic to have more players than retail for the 1st few weeks because the leveling is genuinely done well, but the end game is so different and I feel that will kill the experience for many people.

Ok but the end game isn’t until late 2020 sometime in regards to content. Then for me Endgame is having BiS gear and farming HK’s all day. Getting rank 14 etc. I just want to log in and kill players that is end game for me and a lot of people. Even after the content is done the endgame continues for many with their mains. Then of course there is alts and Twinks.

So there is Years of content for mains then what journey you want to do next.

I played Diablo 2 for 6 years before WoW and well I didn’t need content to log in every day. Just needed a great game to immerse myself in. That is what Classic offers. There is always another journey in the game.
