Now my heart sinks if I have to make a trip back there, with its obnoxiously huge and empty areas designed to be flown over rather than explored. Outland was a shattered alien world full of bizarre locations and demonic armies, all waiting on the other side of the Dark Portal we’d been waiting to peek through for ages. It's fun to visit the past, but I don't want to stay there permanently.įraser: Flying was the coolest hook an expansion could have, and Burning Crusade had plenty of others. Classic, to me, is exciting because it offers a temporary glimpse into what used to be. If by this time next year players have seen everything worth seeing, I think that's OK. Instead, I think Classic should stay true to what it is: a nostalgia-filled snapshot of World of Warcraft in its pre-expansion form. At what point would Blizzard just be running two separate MMOs? And at what point would Classic call it quits at a specific expansion and cease all updates?Įveryone has their favorite expansion, so Blizzard will never please anyone if they decide to cut things off at Burning Crusade or beyond. I don't see Classic as a permanent edition of World of Warcraft, something that should be updated constantly like the main game. Of course this means that, by next year, Classic players will be running out of things to do, but I feel like that's the point. Steven: I feel like I might be the only one who thinks that Classic should stop right where it started, before any expansions began to fundamentally alter WoW for better and for worse.
