Will I have to install BfA if I plan on just playing Classic?

Even then though, his basic question as to if he needed both bfa and classic was well answered a couple of times.

@Sandroin-aegwynn

In order to play classic, you’ll have to install bfa, then click a tab which will switch the launcher from the bfa launcher, to the classic launcher.

Not to mention he even got the answer to the question wrong.

To be clear, you DO NOT have to install, buy, or play BFA in order to play Classic.

All that is required is an active world of warcraft subscription in order to play classic. I hope that is a clear enough answer Sandroin, and I do apologize if facts come off as “know it all”, but blatant false information and trolling is pretty frowned upon in this forum.

You can expect no less than a 12GB download size and it will run on a HHD.

This is another false statement. According to the official minimum specs listed in the link below, WoW Classic will only require 5 GB of Storage.

Hello! Our global pre-launch test of WoW Classic will begin on 2019-08-08T18:00:00Z (UTC) and is scheduled to end on Friday, August 9. This test will be available to all World of Warcraft players with a current subscription or active game time in all regions. The maximum character level will be 15. We ask that players please log-in and play as much as possible during the first two hours of the test – 2019-08-08T18:00:00Z (UTC) → 2019-08-08T20:00:00Z (UTC), as that is when we’ll be actively mon…

Last but not least, this is what made me suspect trolling and not just ignorance.

@Sandroin-aegwynn

That’s all they had in 2001.

Though even THAT is a completely false statement as well, as the first SSD hit the market in 1991, the game launched in 2004.

/sigh

People come here for help. Responses like yours do the opposite of that and need to be called out, which is why I didn’t just report and move on. There’s a difference between posting what you think is right, and necroing a thread, ignoring the answers by previous posters, and proceeding to deliberately post false information.
