Arguably the most popular expansion in the game’s history
During theWorld of WarcraftDragonflightreveal, the team had a “one more thing” prepared, and it deals withWoW: Classic. It’saWorld of Warcraft Classic Wrath of the Lich Kingrelease.
I should have known something was up with Holly Longdale (lead producerWoW Classic) in attendance, and lo and behold, we got a newClassicreveal. It’s due out this year, and will have “some changes” among classic content.
“Dungeon finder is not a good fit for the community” ofWoW Classic, according to Longdale, and the barbershop will be adding a few options that didn’t exist during the time of theWrathexpansion (gender swap was mentioned, and it will not feature a paid customization fee; rather, it’ll use in-game gold). The Death Knight will start at level 55, and “everyone will be able to make one.”
The cap will be increased to 80, and Blizzard will have a “level 70 boost,”which can be applied to the Death Knight class. The beta is coming soon and the team is open to feedback for potential changes to create a mostly traditional, yet updated, version ofWrath of the Lich King.
After it was announced thatBurning Crusade Classicwas going to be a thing, it was pretty much a given that Blizzard would move toWorld of Warcraft Classic Wrath of the Lich King. They’d be leaving money on the table otherwise:just look at how popular it still is.
