It’s been awesome seeing all the excitement building around WoW Classic and the play-at-home demo we released as part of the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket. So awesome, in fact, that we’d like to keep the party going for a few more days!

We’ve extended the duration of the WoW Classic Demo to last through the weekend, ending at 10 AM Pacific time on Monday, November 12. That should give you plenty of time to track down those remaining Zhevra Hooves, or finish cooking up some Westfall Stew.

We hope you’re enjoying the WoW Classic Demo and can’t wait to share the full game with you next summer!


You guys have literally just rebirthed a joy inside me I haven’t had in 13 years. Thank you re launching classic WoW, I literally cannot wait.

I was 15 years old when Classic WoW came out.
I’m now 28, with a wife and a son. I’ve already let my wife know I’ll be MIA most of the summer as soon as my son goes to bed. Haha.

Gotta get those levels! Loved the game, love what you guys are doing with it, and for that I thank you.

so is there a way to play the demo without having to buy a virtual ticket?

So it turns out the demo is actually providing you with tons and tons of useful feedback and that people really enjoy it and tell you exactly what's wrong and try to help?

You know what - keep it going for as long as you like. I this this is great for all of us!

I agree, I'm sad I didn't get it last weekend. Had I known I would have 2 weekends to play it, I would have purchased it. But only having 1 day off a week (Saturday) it was hard to justify 50 dollars for 8 hours of game play.

Woulda done it for 16 had I known though!

Thank you so much! I have been having internet issues, so I appreciate a little more time to try things out and point out possible bugs.

Also, thank you for giving us the choice to play WoW the way we want (Classic or Retail). I have always loved the game, but have been more and more disappointed over time with some of the directions the game has taken, but impressed with some of the choices as well.

So again, thank you, and I look forward to playing some more Classic and hopefully figure out what I want to do at release. :D
87
Can you guys try to be a little more communicative? Like... drop some hints at what you're considering, so people can tell you why, for instance, loot sharing has a huge impact on the community, before you go on stage and make yourself look stupid.
88
That is pretty nice of you. I encourage everyone to get their fill. As for me, I had to stop. I began missing Classic too much. I wanted to fish, upgrade skills, peddle to the metal, man! I loved being able to step back briefly and it gives me courage.

Thanks again, Blizz!

I dont have access to the demo, but regardless thank you for listening to the community <3

Thank you. Is there any way you'd consider leaving it available indefinitely? Or at least until beta? Or maybe through the end of the year? I have not enjoyed WoW for many years, and this demo is just so much fun! It is Vanilla again! WoW is fun again!

And my kids are playing with me now. They have not had any interest in the post-wrath WoW, and weren't really old enough to play prior to Wrath. So this is their first exposure to the REAL WoW. And they love it. My 10-year-old was fighting murlocs with me on the beach when he rolled his mouse over the water and saw the cursor turn to a cog. He waded in under water and found a treasure chest. Well, he lost all interest in helping me with the murlocs and only wanted to open the chest.

Later, after his turn playing WoW was over and his younger brother was playing with one of his older brothers, my 10-year-old couldn't stop talking about the treasure chest he'd found. And about the loot. Which was just grey and white items. No greens even. But it was just the whole thing... adventuring out in a dangerous world (yes, the Vanilla world is dangerous) and finding an abandoned, battered chest. My kids have literally never experienced WoW, other than watching me play it years ago.

Please leave the demo up for a while. I have a handful of kids, and taking turns means that they each only get to play for a short while, even with two computers going. Waiting until summer for the full game will surely sweeten the experience when they finally get to experience the complete World of Warcraft. But that is an eternity to wait. Even for the kids!

Oh, and my 10-year-old was also asking me about how big the world of Warcraft is. I showed him the map of Westfall and we looked at the tiny slice of it that we'd explored in the 40 or so minutes he got to play (we didn't get far; Vanilla is DANGEROUS and we spent a lot of time as ghosts), and his mind was literally blown. He is SO excited for the untold adventures that await in faraway places he cannot even conceive. Of course, I know what he's in for, having started playing WoW en serio just after patch 1.12 was released in 2006. But he just has no clue.

I simply cannot thank Blizzard enough for this opportunity to re-experience the most enjoyable game I have ever played (no superlative), and to share it with my kids. I have been waiting for this time for literally years.

So please, if it's not too much trouble, could you keep the demo up for a couple of months. At least 'til Jan 1, 2019. That will give us all time to explore all of Westfall, and maybe start into the Barrens, which is 3x to 4x more expansive! We know we'll have to wait for the full game, but an extended demo period will soften the blow of that wait.

Thanks.

Oh, and my opinion is no sharding or loot trading, please. Let's keep Classic "Vanilla."

This is awesome!

(What happened to Tseric?)

I’d throw my money at the screen if the demo remained up until release and had the option to join any alpha/beta testing.

Lol i gave friends and non gaming family the same warning lol it will be fend for yourself or i will have premade meals in the freezer for them lol. They have no idea how much time i will be throwing into this esp since it has been years. My sons are excited as well!
P.S Blizz no sharding as the community needs to establish itself from the start. We are all old hands at it and would manage it :) it would be group city woot! Also the loot sharingi share the same concerns as others with that as well. Hey we want to keep people in jobs :) more cust serv reps :) will be nice to talk to real GMs in game. Also the green hair colour isnt the right tint

Is there a chance you will be opening another demo or beta before the launch in the summer?
