I might play through Cataclysm if they were to release a Classic version, but I wouldn’t play it as much as other xpacs. I’d probably level whatever my current toons are to 85, max their professions, the roll a Horde DK. I have 0 interest in leveling an alt through the nee Azeroth.
Sure, but the fact that they haven’t officially announced WOTLK or made an effort to market it, is a big concern for me. If they expect to release WOTLK anytime within the next year; why isn’t blizzard hyping it up right now? When will they announce it? Why wait until the last minute? Doesn’t make good business sense to me.
We went into Cata with the highest sub count this game has ever had. It will still be played, but it will be much less popular than any other part of Classic and if we get the final patch, will be even more boring.
The current timeline would put WotLK at roughly September-October at the absolute earliest, and even that would be cutting -heavily- into both the BT/Hyjal tier as well as the Sunwell Tier.
More likely we’re looking at November/December if they want to boost MAUs for Q4, or like Febuary of '23.
So yeah… hyped… but it’s baby hype, and still a very long ways off yet…
I loved cata but I don’t think they will do a classic version, but hey who knows?
Cata was my favorite time playing wow. Not my favorite expansion but it’s up there. I had lots of time to play, raided and pvped a lot, etc, etc… was just a good time!
