If you’re thinking of whether to jump into the Classic
version or stay within your comfort zone, This guide will help you figure out if WoW Classic is the one for you.
What to Expect in WoW Classic
First off, the entire sweep of game content will not be
available. What Blizzard has decided
to do is give players access to Molten
Core and Onysxia, which were the
two 40-man raids that they implemented back in the original 2004 title.
Interestingly, they also decided to not necessarily run things by the book, as
they’re not strictly going to duplicate the original timeline. An example of
this is that bosses such as Dire Maul,
Lord Kazzak, and Azuregon will be present in Classic as well.
Let’s not forget that the main inconveniences that bogged the original game will be there as well. There won’t be any flying and getting a WoW mount will take hours of saving gold. Furthermore, raids will require herding
40 cats in the same schedule. It’s definitely a headache, but some people think
of it as charming, albeit better than the game that we now have—the one that
has long lost its roots.
Future Updates
It looks like when it comes to any future updates regarding WoW Classic, things are looking pretty grim.
There will be no expansions coming to this version, unfortunately. Once there is
a decent number of players at level 60 or above and raids are used for farming,
it’s all fun and games. But once you reach the true end game, won’t be anything
left to do. It’ll become especially easy to get bored since you already finished
the game and won’t have anything to look forward to anymore. If you’re a casual
WoW player, it’s best to unsubscribe from this after about half a year or so.
It’s not worth paying a few extra bucks every month knowing you won’t get any
new updates to look forward to.
The Nostalgia Factor
If you’ve been playing World of Warcraft for years, chances
are sheer nostalgia already has you going absolutely crazy hyped. The unmatched difficulty, huge raids, laborious character leveling, and complex
weapon classes; are things that you and other thousands of longtime fans
have always wanted. Expect that well over tens of millions of players will be
coming back just to experience the World of Warcraft they knew and loved during
their early years. But if you’re part of the community that’s just starting
out, it’s understandable to have your doubts about this version.
If you’re just a casual, one thing to note about World of
Warcraft: Classic is that it will go at a slower pace than what you’re used to.
You won’t get to receive your first mount until you reach level 40 and character
classes will be much more limited than what they are now. The side quests are
fewer and less varied as well. Daily repeatable quests and pet battling systems
more or less weren’t first implemented in the classic game, so don’t expect to
find them here either.
Verdict: Should You Play WoW Classic?
There are a lot of inconveniences in the game due to it
being stripped of its latest improvements, but those inconveniences may just be
what you’re looking for if you’re still on the fence about trying it. While the
accomplishments in the classic version will come slow, it’ll ultimately make
you a bit more appreciative of every task that you fulfill and more prudent
about the WoW gold you earn.
If you categorize yourself as part of the hardcore group of
players who are looking to quench your thirst for the OG game, then this
version is definitely for you. However, if you’re not into slow-paced games
that is filled with challenges ahead, then it may be best to skip WoW Classic
altogether.
