FYI wotlk - Cata OPcodes was changed it took the private server developers 8 ish years to catch them all till wotlk they never changed then they all changed. this is the main reason you do not see cata servers they was not the same long enough for enough people to reverse engineer them.
opcodes are the security codes between client and server which changed every patch when cata was released. you could not even login to a private server without having a patched client which used old opcodes are a replacement but was buggy as hell and cause client to crash a lot. this is the reason you do not see cataclysm private servers not because they sucked but because new sniffer tools needed to be developed. by the time they was even close they would change them again with the patch was super hard to keep up
was their attempt to crush the private server scene not to mention it stopped all custom items being made which killed majority of the instant 80 and 255 custom servers in the process. had 0 to do with cata being bad and all to do with it required 100x more effort then it did between tbc - wotlk where not much changed more was just added,
history lesson for you. google it if you think iâm wrong

Your opinion doesnât matter to me because people would have figured it out if they wanted to actually play Cata and havenât done so because no one cares about Cata.
Cata is trash.

Who cares what some streamer says?
Unless Blizz says outright âNo Cataclysmâ then itâs up in the air.
Not that I care much anyway.
If they release it, I might play for shiz and giggles but as far as my interest is concerned it starts and ends with WOTLK.
Only thing Iâd honestly hope for would be an authentic WOTLK experience with all the warts the original had.
Not this âimproved social butterflyâ edition that Blizz seems to think is fabulous.

I choked on my water when reading this. This person has jokes i damn near pissed myself because i was laughing so hard.
But no, we really donât care about Cataclysm there are some good systems from that expansion. There are enough sentiment that they will ditch World of Warcraft classic once the game moves to Cataclysm. While I know youâre probably think that this is a means to an end to get to Mist of Pandaria. There are some that want this. But, Sadly Mist was better than it deserved to ever be. it had one excellent raid. and one good raid. there were too many negative things about Mist its a 6 out of 10 at most. Cataclysm is a 5 out of 10 for the expansions. oh, and yes, I nearly forgot mention this I have zero desire to rinse and repeat. The I feel the player base will have long since abandoned the franchise due to diminished returns especially with their crappy progression based servers.

has anyone else seen this stream to say why and howâŚdevs are spilling the beans with a streamer they have hated more than loved. potentially killing late interest in their wrath offering has this odd to me too.
long week, donât want to add to his view counts and too tired to rabble about streamers.
I tried to find it because Iâd post it here in a heartbeat. I havenât been able to find it.
Iâm still hoping itâs true though.

If they could just skip the yawnfest that was Cata and get straight to MoP, thatâd be great.

Perhaps they are going to âreorderâ the expansions /shrug
first⌠asmon is a complete tool.
second⌠theyve been saying no cata since pre wrath classic launch.
Poster is a troll, look their other threads. Bunch of nonsense moving on.
Link a video where this is said and the timestamp to where it was said, OP.
Iâm not digging around through Asmon videos on just your (likely trolling) word.
That being said, I wouldnât be at all surprised if they skipped Cata Classic for a number of reasons:
-
Cata sucked. Even back in the day people largely hated it⌠and before WoD sucking and/or the BfA-Shadowlands 1-2 punch of doom, it was largely considered the single worst expansion -=by far=- in the gameâs history.
-
Itâs become rather apparent that Blizzard simply donât give a single damn about Classic anymore. A single evening queuing BGs could drive that point painfully home. Theyâd need to hire John Connor to win the war against that many bots at this point.
That leaves them with the sole option of starting over at vanilla again, which seems⌠unlikely to get a huge population boom like the first classic launch. People âjust didâ the content, and theyâd have to give up their current toons.
The classic experiment was made to try and rope people back into WoW, but itâs likely proving far less lucrative per player than retail is (Where people can officially buy gold, and/or pay their subscription with a $20 token monthly), and Iâd wager they just arenât seeing the crossover metrics theyâd hoped for (that is ex players that came back for classic, but then also that where successfully brought into retail again)⌠Hell, most classic players I know used classic as a justification to NOT BUY Dragonlands, since they could play wow without wasting whatever it cost. Couple that with the expected crossover population that theyâre hoping gets hooked on their next major release in D4, and Classic is likely just a niche product with less $$ returns to them, and one that has no realistic future to it that wonât involve dramatic population losses.
