Because blizzard is incredibly slow lol. That’s why. Think of how many times people asked for blizzard to make legacy servers. And it took them what, like 12 years to do so. I don’t get that at all. Classic servers should have started in like 2015. Specially after that question was asked at the 2013 blizzcon. Like there is no excuse. If I was in charge of blizzard during this era, classic servers would have been announced in 2014, and launched in 2015. And I would have made sure permanent versions of each expansion existed as it originally was also going forward.
Even now, they are still in that state of telling people, that we think we do, but we don’t. Like, we know exactly what we want. Us permanent wrath classic players, just want 2 freakin permanent wrath classic servers. Like, that’s it. End of story. As well as all of the other cool stuff coming from wow in the future, which we are all getting anyways.
Like dragonflight has been fun. The new expansion sounds cool. Cataclysm classic is cool. Not having permanent wrath classic servers is like, super stupid and uncool. Probably be another 20 years though till blizzard does it though.
It takes so long for blizz to recognize the potential in anything.
