If the Devs need to put SoD on the backburner (like they did during phase 3). Just do that. Work on a new battleground or something. Scarlet Enclave is giving us plenty to do for a few months considering the tiny amount of loot that drops and the difficulty of the raid.
If they are really working on Classic+ in the future why is it not SoD? Can someone enlighten me on why SoD is ending? Is it not pulling numbers? Cause I 100% am going to unsub from wow when I get bored of SoD. I know im not the only one.
Maybe they do a Classic+ that will have transfers to SoD Era and SoD Era will get updated with whatever else they add in classic+ idk. Either way I need a break from this addiction anyways.

Hopefully they will use SoD as a testing ground for things like new BGs so that we can actually test stuff before classic+
Not a large enough audiance (Phase 3 scared away too many of them) and Classic+ needs more than just an endless loop of endgame content.
Damage/health numbers would be so ridiculous after another raid tier or two.
They want a do-over to get it right using SoD as a base. I doubt classes will be the same and incursions almost certainly won’t be a thing. Hopefully they give much needed love to levelling content.
SoD lost hundreds of thousands of raiders, while simultaneously being the easiest classic experience to level and raid in (from a time commitment perspective).
It cannot be classic+ because it simply does not cater to enough people.
Because it is an abomination
SoD is “Season of Discovery”. IF we’ve learned anything from the name of the game maybe we should discover what google is and look up what a season is.
Probably because it shares the same client and data with Classic Era/Anniversary and it’s garbage. They probably had a whole lot of stuff they wanted to do but couldn’t because it’s tied to the 1.15 client. I’ve seen Zirene mention things they couldn’t do, like allowing Will of the Mountain to function as a Blacksmith hammer:

I don’t believe the tech for using something as a replacement tradeskill item is supported in SoD without changing Era data.
Classic+ has to be on its own client, SoD was a testing grounds for what would and wouldn’t work in classic+, but it was heavily limited by sharing the classic client and having to work around that. We saw plenty of cases of SoD stuff leaking over to Classic, and Classic+ would ideally have changes on a scale where sharing the client just isn’t feasible.
I am ok with sod dying if they give us classic plus with sod style talents. I want a modern version that supports more pvp numbers without lag, that gives us focus window, interrupts off the gcd, guild calendar, guild bank, guild recruitment tool.
If they just add on to classic codebase, that they are afraid to really change, then just extend what we have in sod…
It will be interesting to see what we get.
If they are working on Classic+… then when it launches it needs to be a “new” thing. That’s the only real option of them bringing more people in. Although for all the people that left close to year ago (and those before that) I’m not sure Classic+ is going to bring them back.
Sadly.
