World of Warcraft is one of the best games of all time, created 15 years ago. It still exists today, but with all the benefits of today’s games. Bringing the game back to what it used to be, was certainly something many old fans were very excited about.

The classic server is completely free, that is, anyone who has the latest version of the game and active subscription can play the Classic server as well.
”The more people were crying out for it, the more we said, you know, we have to do this. Let’s treat this as a love letter to our fans and give them what they have been asking for. Right now, trying to focus on really trying to nail that Classic experience. We have a content unlock phase for the stages of raid tiers and battlegrounds that have been added,” explained Ryan Birmingham, a lead software engineer of Wow.
”We are very fortunate that World of Warcraft was built to be a very data-driven game from the outset. It was not a huge leap from a technical backend point of view. As far as what happens at the end of that cycle, it very much depends on community feedback. This whole project is very community-driven, through the content phase unlocks and whatever happens beyond that,” added Omar Gonzales, a senior software engineer.

The classic version of this game is a resurrected patch 1.12. This is a special realm where you will be able to pick Vanilla with all its flaws and, most importantly, for free, in other words, you do not have to pay a special subscription for it. Whether this is a smart move or not remains to be seen. One thing is for sure,
Blizzard threw this game out of the private server game. And vanilla nostalgia is something that has existed since the first expansion. And it is not without phrase that WoW players are divided into those who have “played since vanilla” and everyone else. Vanilla version has her makeup, amazing and wonderful moments. But there is also its dark side.
People love to remember the WoW history, and how it all was at the beginning. People grew with the game; the game grew with their audience. It was a strange but successful symbiosis. And then when everything was known, when the players already knew who and what status they had on the server, TB expansion began. When they found the reckoning, however, they began to revive the classic game, so in the year we celebrate 15 years of WoW we will have two games for the price of one. Whether you play Live or Classic is up to you.

In the Vanilla version, there is no built-in quest helper, no modern map, no chat via bnet account (only old school in-game chat). But … We have something we didn’t have back then. And we are witnessing that it attracts enormous attention. The most audiences were anxious because can’t wait to play vanilla legally again. Players who didn’t play WoW back then, also play it now.
Most WoW nostalgic players are people who gained fame by solving the Arthas issue at the ICC. People who ran 40men raids on bosses like Ragnaros, where dkp was paid for not completing tasks agreed to before the pool. With the start of the WotLK expansion, it became clear that WoW was becoming more accessible to new generations but at the same time still interesting for the old men who decided to end a chapter in their lives by removing Lich King from the throne. Rarely are any of them, hardcore players, today. They are either illegal or playing total casuals, for their soul.
In contrast, players who have “grown-up for WoW” in the wake of Deathwing are accustomed to new finer textures and a world that has been completely changed from that of vanilla.

So, who plays? The short answer is everybody. Veterans who returned to taste again what defined them in their younger days, when life was carefree between the two exams.
On the other hand, the Cataclysm generation plays primarily out of curiosity. To see what they missed and where all those mighty legends came from.
And there can be problems. There is a good chance that both player groups can quickly get enough of the classic experience. The former simply not have the time they want, while the latter not be able to handle all this. The result could be a return to the BfA, while the classic will remain as a reminder of an experiment that was intended to please the masses.
“It’s such a huge world: even when all the content is unlocked there will be plenty of players taking their time exploring every nook and cranny. I know when I was playing, I had friends who were already in Blackwing Lair and Zul Gurub when I’d only just hit level 60.

“Even though we might have all our content unlocked in a year or two, not everyone will have experienced it,” said Ryan Birmingham, a lead software engineer of Wow when he was asked a question if the fans will be pleased with the new classic version.
What we can conclude at the end of the text is with one such popular game it deserved its classic version as generations of players grew up on it. For many players, this was and remains the best game of all time, and has been preserved from oblivion by this move.
The people who used to play the vanilla version are now adults who have set aside their time to remember the good old games. they may not have as much time for her as when they were young, but they certainly play a little in the evening when my child falls asleep. 15 years ago, this game was made very complex and that is what makes it still popular and sought after.
