Why can't we play Classic and Retail at the same time?

Been sitting in Q for Classic for like almost 2 hours now, can’t even log on retail to bg or what not, why?

lol don’t do it!

I think it’s like crossing streams or interacting with yourself when you go back in time.

Lol fair, but tbh I’d like to at least be able to q BGs/Arenas if I’m going to sit in this q.

I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to do that. Go to the WoW folder, then inside the retail folder double-click on the WoW icon (Wow.exe). Enter your credentials and voilà.

[EDIT] just did it, it’s running both clients.

You would have to pay 2 subs to play both at the same time!

No, you wouldn’t. You can play both at the same time. I’m doing that this moment.

Lol memes.

You can’t it logs you out of the other client.

OK I stand corrected.

After a couple minutes, Classic logged off. So yeah. Can’t play both at the same time. Ugh…

Well, you would be using two different server resources so it only makes sense.

Idk, I feel like bottlenecking people between retail and classic is a bad business decision.

Get more than one account…?

Math done.

It’s a completely different game, so your snide comments don’t really reflect much.

Which has what to do with…?

I’m not playing 2 BfAs, I’m playing 1 Classic 1 BfA they’re completley different games. That’s like not allowing me to play Sc2 while playing WoW.

You answered your own question. It is two different games provided by two different services. They were kind enough to let you play either with one sub, but really you should pay a sub for each different game.

So you’re saying I shouldn’t be allowed to play SC2/OW and WoW at the same time?

They’re too different games, next you’re going to tell me Destiny and WoW shouldn’t be playable because they’re both MMOs on Bnet app.

I played beta and retail at the same time, shouldn’t be any different.

Do those game require subscriptions to play? You keep on answering your own questions.

They announced this a long time ago that you wouldn’t be able to play both at the same time.

So you’re saying that if you want to play both at the same time, they should be separate subs? Comon man, that’s ridiculous.

Again, bad business ploy on Blizzard’s part to bottleneck the two like that.
