I saw it as a broken image because the Facebook Container extension blocked it. It loaded in a separate tab when I clicked it, though.

I hope they get a pay raise for that comment, making so many of us do a double-take and/or laugh.
Just learned that Wrath Classic will be replaced by Cataclysm Classic, not stay alongside it.
Why.
Who asked for this? Who even thinks of Cataclysm as a âclassicâ era? To me, it was basically the start of retail WoW philosophy. Almost all Cataclysm content is still in the game, while Wrath Classic represents the state of the game as it was before the Cataclysm overhaul of the world and game mechanics.
This one does not inspire joy.
Still, I reckon if the community gets loud enough, WotlK classic may stay.

There is merit to having everyone know all spells. ((IMPing a certain encounter in a certain cave makes it bearable. )) Though later on, the Magicite become mostly for statboosts. Play around and see what works. Except Gau. He draws stats and resistances from whatever he pretends to be.
At this rate, weâll have classic WoD by 2026.
They are litterally just re-releasing every expansion again, its so dumb. And I actually liked Cata back when it was current.
I guess there just isnât enough of an audience that wants to play a particular expansion frozen in time. Meanwhile, there is an audience that wants to experience history for a second time, or experience history that they missed for the first time.
Thereâs also an audience for Season of Discovery, or the idea of a âClassic Plus,â the concept that thereâs a version of Classic that can recapture the magic that the retail version left behind long ago, and Blizzard just needs to tinker with it and improve on it until they can somehow recreate a renaissance for WoW that rivals its original boom in the '00s.
I personally consider it a pipe dream and Iâve never seen the appeal of any version of Classic, but I canât deny that it draws a lot of people who believe that the retail version of the game is doomed to be bad for evermore. To them, WoW can only be good again if it simultaneously turns back the hand of time and incorporates cutting edge game design, as paradoxical as it sounds. The past and the future combined, built on a hatred for the present because of âcurrent thing badâ contrarianism.
Season of Discovery is, unironically, the most fun iâve had with content in a long while. Iâve always bounced to playing Classic for stints because i find the levelling a bit more comfy even if itâs jank (was stuck in Hardcore for a while because i have a penchant for self flagellation). But I think what really sold it for me is it actually captured the sense of community that retail largely doesnât need any more or misses completely; people taking five minutes out of their time to help others get their runes or with quests and with an actual zone that bustles with pvp. Donât get me wrong, the âGO GO GO LETS GET THIS DUNGEON DONEâ crowd still exists. But itâs far more muted.
Itâs not quite the TurtleWoW levels of Classic+ people want. And i doubt Blizzard will ever commit to that. But having a laugh while doing the done up BFD with friends, or trying to sneak our way across Ashenvale has been great.
I am still slowly working through it. Last night I finally got to the end of the House of Hope and absolutely clapped you know who.
That boy talked a big game but had no idea what was coming his way.

I know itâs really unfair to compare Blizzard to Tolkien, but studying Sindarin made me appreciate just how phonetically and morphologically consistent Tolkien elf names are, how they stem from the same language and mean something in it.
Night elf names are such an eclectic mess in comparison that I struggle to conceive of them all existing in the same culture, even if we assume they donât mean anything.

Also on the topic of Classic WoW, itâs worth considering what âclassicâ actually means to people. Imo, there was no point releasing anything post-vanilla as it all exists in retail anyway, just without the same level curve attached (and thus is actually infinitely more accessible). The old 1-60 world is forever preserved on the Era servers where you can come and go as you please.
Theyâre effectively just replaying WoWâs greatest hits, and people WILL resub to play content such as Firelands and Throne of Thunder. Maybe I am crazy, but the only reason to play any of the expansions is because youâd rather experience that particular oneâs raid tiers. I could just play Era or Season of Discovery if I wanted the old worldâs charm.
