What occurs after World of Warcraft: Classic? It’s one thing the MMO throwback was at all times going to should cope with, ultimately. There’s solely a lot content material to revisit in spite of everything. As Classic’s expiration date slowly attracts nearer, Blizzard have begun asking gamers what they’d prefer to see subsequent – particularly, whether or not they’re prepared to move again by the Dark Portal in a Classic-style return to World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.
The people at RPS fanzine PC Gamer report that Blizzard are gauging curiosity for a return to Outland. It appears World of Warcraft Classic did gangbusters for Blizzard, they usually’re eager on understanding whether or not the same followup for The Burning Crusade would hit that very same mark, sending surveys to a choose few Classic subscribers.

These days, The Burning Crusade is sort of a brick wall within the levelling grind. But again in 2007, World of Warcraft’s first enlargement was a riot – including Blood Elves and Draenei to the race roster, and letting gamers discover a shattered world on their fancy new flying mounts. Horde gamers may lastly be fairly, electrical mummies bought you laser swords, and you can journey a ghost dragon should you have been keen to waste a complete month farming for eggs on a small floating island. Notoriously garish outfits sealed the enlargement as Warcraft’s “early 90s” style part.
The survey touches on plenty of other ways Burning Crusade may return. Would individuals need their present Classic servers upgraded to the brand new enlargement, or ought to every Classic iteration host its personal neighborhood? Would gamers need to begin at degree 1 or degree 58? Should these characters be fresh-faced rookies, or seasoned mains pulled over from Classic? That’s if Outland even returns in any respect. Right now, it’s possible Blizzard are merely doing a little bit factfinding earlier than committing to a possible Burning Crusade Classic.
But as World of Warcraft Classic runs out of content material to convey again, it’s going to seek out itself in an fascinating place. Will Blizzard begin rotating again by expansions as they occur? I do know loads of folks (myself included, admittedly) who’d like to revisit Wrath Of The Lich King, however what occurs when the road between “modern” and Classic WoW turns into tougher to attract?
Do individuals actually need to find yourself with a Warlords of Draenor Classic?
Personally, I’ve at all times sorta hoped they’d pull a Runescape on Classic – holding an old-school server alive for the grognards that skew off in its personal route, solely including options if gamers felt it saved to the spirit of the outdated game.
