The MMO That Changed the World Returns With WoW Classic

Blizzard announced during Blizzcon 2017 that WoW Classic servers were on their way after years of anticipation. Ever since Wrath of the Lich King, fans of World of Warcraft have wanted official Blizzard servers set in the base, vanilla experience of the original in 2004. J. Allen Brack, the executive producer of World of Warcraft definitively said Classic servers would never release at Blizzcon 2013, following the “No!” with “and by the way, you don’t want to do that either. You think you do, but you don’t.” Well, despite the conflicting statement, WoW Classic servers are officially live and available to anyone with an active World of Warcraft account on PC or Mac.To get more news about Buy WoW Shadowlands Gold, you can visit lootwowgold news official website.
After the success of World of Warcraft Classic breathing new life into the dying franchise, we can definitively say: No, J. Allen Brack, you think we didn’t want to do that, but we did. Twitch views are up, WoW Classic YouTube content is flooding the platform, Blizzard hasn’t given us official server population numbers, but judging from the plethora of people on the one server I’ve played on so far, it’s safe to say that the World of Warcraft is as alive and well as ever. Especially considering the current client of the game isn’t experiencing a complete lack of players. No matter how you slice it, WoW Classic has done for the aging MMORPG what several of the expansions couldn’t do: maintain hype and engagement for more than a couple of weeks.

Classic WoW returns gamers to the original Azeroth that started the World of Warcraft machine (specifically patch 1.12) that took the leadership role of the MMO genre and maintained it to this very day. While many of the best things from Vanilla WoW are alive and well in WoW Classic, it also features several of the same bugs, imbalances and other quirks that made it great. Action bars are once again packed with abilities and talents which were stripped from the game in Mists of Pandaria in an effort to appeal to casual gamers.

The community carries the Classic World of Warcraft experience as it did fifteen years ago. In my experience, I came across multiple examples of people helping each other and me. I watched high-level guildmates help their friends through zones full of enemies with Skulls and question marks indicating their levels. I requested a tailor in trade chat and they’ve made every bag I’ve equipped ever since. I saw people giving coin to complete strangers so that they can obtain their new skills, which is no longer a thing in today’s version. None of this would have been appreciated for what it is if WoW Classic had the layering system of the live version of the game which combines multiple servers to populate the world around you. If you make a character on Smolderweb, that’s your server. When you play on it, you’re playing with other people from Smolderweb and although people have manipulated the toned-down version known as Sharding, the system is mostly foolproof according to Blizzards internal testing.
