I mean I haven't played WoW in a year or so but when I play I don't pay for a sub. If you have and make gold it's basically free

iirc didn't they do that already with WOW?

btw Imagine supporting this shit company in 2021. The original teams from the late 90s and 2000s are likely long gone by now.

If they actually changed a bunch about it to be more modern and user friendly I'd consider subscribing to see what the MMO hype is about

If it's just classic again with the same quests and mechanics then I'm not interested

yeah, if it's just gonna be the same shit over again it's pointless. If they actually made significant changes I'd play it

i don't think this is desperation, partly because i don't think there's really a huge demand for this. but blizz released a survey many months ago about possible new servers with some changes, so it's not exactly out of nowhere

Just curious because I was never that much into Blizzard games. But this whole SA thing that's going on now. Is it being done by people that were always high up in Blizzard, or people put there after they were bought by Activision?

Both actually- a lot of the allegations are pre takevover/merger.

As someone who's never played WoW, what exactly are all these different versions & the point of them?

Regular WoW is the game that came out in 04 or 05 that has been expanded, patched, built upon and changed every which way.

Classic is the game pretty much as it was 15 years ago, with a few minor tweaks. It has now moved onto The Burning Crusade, which was the first expansion released.

Fresh Classic would be just the original game with no expansion.

And again asking in ignorance, what's the appeal in playing these old versions of the games without all of the modern features/improvements? Nostalgia? I just remember it being a big deal when WoW classic drooped and I wasn't really sure why rereleasing the base game was such a big deal tbh

Some players feel that the game has changed too much (for a variety of reasons) and prefer the old game.

Some people hate the game the way it is now. I think they're nuts, but hey, they pay for the sub either way.

I saw this coming when they introduced Classic TBC.
And then they're going to change Fresh Classic to TBC, TBC Classic to WOTLK, and make New Fresh Classic.

Then they'll change Classic WoTLK to Cata, Fresh Classic TBC to WotLK, New Fresh Classic to TBC, and make Neo Fresh New Classic.

And so on...

this strategy was common on chinese browser MMO back in 2010's iirc

Especially given how lacking they are in content. I think it was a year-long wait for the latest patch and from what I've seen on the subreddit, it sucks.

The game right now is actually pretty shit. And has been shit for two expansions.

Theyre basically just making new realms for people that want to enjoy the old content again. It isnt a big deal at all but its popular to hate on Blizzard.

9.1 actually had a ton of content. The people who complain on the forums are just going to complain no matter what

For those wondering if fresh really means fresh, the PTR has already confirmed that burning crusade features are being pulled in so this isn't going to be a true classic iteration of wow either.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-wow-classic-test-realm-has-players-speculating-fresh-servers-could-be-on-the-way/1100-6495300/
The test realm currently only includes raid content from WoW Classic's first phase, although it does include more recent updates to the game, like the ability to purchase a world-buff saving item from Chromie that didn't exist in the original version of vanilla WoW but was added prior to Burning Crusade Classic's release.
