World of Warcraft Classic's closed beta is now live, and it's not quite how some players remember it being back in 2006. Blizzard has put out a list of 13 features that players are erroneously flagging as bugs, from movement speed changes to missing icons on the minimap—all are "working as we expect".
"The nature of WoW Classic sometimes invokes different memories for different players, and this leads to certain misconceptions for some about what is or isn’t working as intended," Blizzard said in a blog post.
Massively popular Hardcore World of Warcraft Classic guild OnlyFangs has been closed after a week of massive DDoS attacks.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "As someone who missed the chance to return to World of Warcraft when the widely successful Classic servers were first introduced six years ago, in an attempt to replicate the vanilla experience of 2004, I was glad to be given another chance when Blizzard introduced their 20th Anniversary servers late last year, which tried to replicate the World of Warcraft: Classic experience of 2019. In other words, it's World of Warcraft: Classic: Classic. It’s worth noting for this Late Look that I do indeed have previous experience in the world of Azeroth - years of it in fact, but I originally started playing just around the time that vanilla was drawing to a close and the first expansion made its debut, so it’s both a bit of a revisit and a fresh experience to me. And with that, all that’s left to say is: time’s up, let’s do this!"
World of Warcraft Classic seems to have a pretty big year ahead of it with the launch of new Classic expansions and a slew of exciting updates.
I put in an embarrassing amount of hours into Vanilla and being honest, I didn't even know or at least remember half of them.
It's crazy to see the amount of hype for this. It just goes to show how crappy MMO's have been.
