Seems weird that there is pretty much 0 advertising for WoW Classic. It’s like Blizzard just put it out there because the community asked for it, but then wants it to fail so they don’t have to support it.

There is literally hundreds of hours of streams, and youtube videos all about Wow:Classic. The hype is palpable. Advertisement is free this time for the actiblizz.
Go check it out my dood.

Classic has very much been operating on a shoe-string budget (probably due to lack of faith/expectations). Large scale marketing isn’t going to happen, but they’ve been marketing through streamers extensively to make up for it.
you mean besides the large banner all over blizzards web site?
It’s a niche game passion project. Build it and they will come. No need for some huge media campaign for it.

There was an entire section for it at BlizzCon. Some games dream about getting that much advertising.

Every gaming site has been covering it and it’s development since the announcement. Reddit is talking about. Twitter is talking about it. Facebook is talking about it.

Shoes string budget? According to who?
Its not 2004 anymore. We all know its coming through social media and friends. It also has a target audience that is pretty much contained to their current community.
the rear part thats who.
I have been wondering the same. Even small indie games have bigger advertising budgets than what we’ve seen from Classic. And it’s releasing next month.
What is going on, Blizzard?
Guys. Do you not see the obvious troll? It’s a level 15 character with 0 posts. Sad you all fail for it lol.

The last thing Blizzard or we need are yet more people trying out Classic on opening day. Perhaps after the initial rush calms down and we all get a better handle on the population steady-state, Blizz may choose to promote the game for newcomers?

I imagine the advertising will come AFTER the release. This will help with layering.

They could literally just change the end card for those “Whats your game” ads.
Boom Free-ish ads
But the thing they probably dont want to do is spend money on ad space…
I like this… hope it is true
It may be the kind of media I watch…but I never see any ads for any games at all unless it’s some garbage micro transaction grind game.
While there are some ads for “big games” most what I see uses social media for pushing announcements. Not big ads.
Streaming is not advertising. I don’t watch streamers, I loathe them.
My Vanilla buddy wasn’t even aware Blizz was reassembling Classic until I told him 2 days ago.

What’s truly sad is that you consider/label every new member or alt of the forum as a troll. SMH
He’s clearly a Tauren…
But tens, if not hundreds, of thousands do and did.

Great! A bunch of people already hyped for the game watched someone else play it!
How about the rest of the world? Most people, gamers, that I talk to are vastly unaware of Classic.
