An old nemesis has risen in World Of Warcraft to claim his former throne
as the scourge of Elwynn Forest. You mission, if you dare accept, is
simple: kill Hogger. Blizzard’s MMORPG jumped back 13 years last night
with the launch of World Of Warcraft Classic, an official vintage
version undoing over years of changes, overhauls, and expansions. If you
miss the days when WoW was more rugged and less friendly, this is for
you. And unlike unsanctioned pirate servers which kept interest in
vintage WoW alive over the years, Blizzard’s lawyers won’t try to shut
this down.To get more news about

In classic WoW style, the Classic launch has been a bit wonky with a
fair few “World Server Down” errors. Blizzard also have a list of known
bugs as well as a “Not A Bug” List of issues that might seem wonky to
some but are officially just how WoW worked. Yes, it’s intentional that
quest objectives are not marked on your map.
WoW Classic casts the MMORPG back to 2006, based on the Drums Of War
update (v1.12.0). This is back before even the first expansion, though
Drums Of War was almost two years after WoW first launched so Blizzard
had ironed out plenty of wrinkles.
Access to WoW Classic is included with a regular WoW subscription.
You’ll be starting fresh with new Classic characters, while modern
characters continue to live on in the modern version. Blizzard have
written a wee guide for new players.
Blizzard won’t faithfully recreate the original patching progress,
but they do plan to give the sense of the game unlocking and growing
over time by adding ‘new’ content in phases across several months.They
explain, “Among the host of features and activities set to be introduced
to the game across six phases are iconic raids like Blackwing Lair,
Zul’Gurub, and Naxxramas; player-versus-player battlegrounds like
Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, and the classic version of Alterac Valley;
and time-limited server-wide events like the Ahn’Qiraj War Effort, and
the Scourge Invasion.”
It’ll be interesting to see the kind of schedule they keep, and
how/if they handle rolling out expansions. I do note that one in-game
event they mention, the Scourge Invasion, originally came during the
Burning Crusade as a lead-in to the second expansion, Wrath Of The Lich
King. But that might just be for funsies, tripping across nostalgic
touchstones without making permanent changes.
