Pretty sure what he means is that it uses a different client, which would then count towards it’s own character limit.
I do agree overall though that limit should be raised. I don’t play all of them, but I don’t want to delete characters either.

Correct. 
We will have one account and one subscription for both retail and classic. Since the character limit is per account it makes no sense to think classic characters won’t count for the limit.
Well, we get PTR with the account too, those also don’t count towards total character limit.
Classic is for all intents and purposes a different game. Account is the same, but then it’s also the same for your Overwatch and Hearthstone too.
PTR has different rules. Characters are wiped out, you get free instant race and faction changes, you can play the PTR for free if your account is flagged, as mine is.
Overwatch is not included in the wow account, it’s on the bnet launcher, but paying a wow subscription won’t give you access to any other game. Classic will share a wow account and subscription with retail, so the character limit, I assume, is shared too. There’s no information to make me think otherwise.
Shrug, I’m pretty confident in saying they won’t as they use a different client and are effectively 2 different games/products that just share sub/account. Either way, time will tell in a few months.
Pretty sure it will still have its own set of rules.
Would be ludicrous if it didn’t.
Well, I submitted a question for the next q&a, so if they pick it up we might know for sure.
I assume this too. Will be pleasant surprised if not
@Korrina, Wwhelp and others: There is also the possibility that classic eligibility could be Battle.net account wide, which would enable one to use a second WoW account for more character slots without increasing costs… I hope Korrina’s question gets picked.
1018, you forgot to account for DH (2 specs) and Druids (4 Specs) 
This is madness. I have enough trouble with 1 of each class already. Hell wants to make a char for each race or spec.
I mean specs, cmon. Just get a weapon for offspec and trinkets and dont need to suffer through leveling on multiple characters?
Cant imagine actually keeping more than 1 of a class. I did level up other race for certain classes since allied races, a hm tauren shaman and a nightborne but i always deleted either old or new cause i cant even imagine having 2 of the same class.
On one hand sure if you are crazy enough
On the other whyyyyyyyyyyyy
Argh, you are right, it doesn’t even out cleanly since DH is only for one race of each faction, I missed that.
I’ll pass on precise calcs. 
I hope you did not take my comment on dead serious, I think 50 characters is enough for active play, however I see the issue with characters you made in previous days a do not want to delete out of sentimental reasons.
I would really advocate for purchasable character slots, since there is some merit in limiting characters (blocking names new user might find attractive is a minor one as well as storage - you have to keep in mind safe business level storage is not comparable to a ssd you put into your home pc - but there are probably a lot more and even more relevant that don’t come to my mind), but as you can store characters on a second account, this seems to be a balancing issue, of how much is ok and what would be to inconvenient for the playerbase.
