![]() ![]() As we have seen time and again, the initial pile-on to play on a nostalgia server peaks pretty quickly as players, familiar with the old game and reliving their experience, move much more quickly through the game than back in the day. WoW Classic plans will be next BlizzCon for sure, but this year it is 0 points.īy Septemthe WoW Classic rush will be over. WoW Classic got a mention in the keynote for sure… I mean, duh… but otherwise all WoW focus was on Shadowlands. How to do an expansion like The Burning Crusade without necessarily progressing the vanilla servers will be a key point of contention, with transfers and boosts straight to level 60 being discussed.Įh, not so much. I’m taking 5 points for this one.īy the time BlizzCon roles around… we’ll get to BlizzCon itself in a bit… there will be a panel, or at least a mention in the keynote, about WoW Classic and moving on from vanilla into some of the early expansions. Maybe not exactly like WoW in 2004, but queues and not enough servers and all that were clearly present. Blizzard will publicly compare the day one WoW Classic crowds to how things went at the WoW launch in 2004. This will lead to new servers being spun up and the classic server split routine from back in the day. There won’t be enough servers leading to long queues to get on to the servers available. There confluence of nostalgia and the end of the Battle for Azeroth expansion will conspire to cause WoW Classic to overflow quickly. ![]() The WoW Classic launch will be 2004 all over again. And Blizz just went with another six month subscription offer to get people to stick around in BfA. Blizz being Blizz shipped WoW Classic later than I expected. The early date will be to coincide with the end of the six month subscriptions that Blizz sold back in the fall as Battle for Azeroth isn’t holding people otherwise. That is about as concrete and clearly defined as a prediction can possibly be. As is the standard for this sort of guess at a date, I knock off 2 points for every week I am off. As usual, unless otherwise noted, predictions are worth 10 points each, with partial credit available.
