Blizzcon 2017 - Steve Burke Interview - World of Warcraft

[xcitng]

For being in development for a long time, there is very little thats been "ironed out"

Okaaay... Well that's not the fault of the guy being interviewed. The person who asks the questions is responsible for picking things that are, y'know, likely to be answerable.

Interviews are hard, and sometimes the things you want to know are things that can't be answered right away. That ain't Burke's issue.

To be fair, the pre-picked questions they had during the officail Q&A were also pretty much answered with - We can't say or don't know.

Tells me they're being cautious so the other end of the spectrum doesn't cry because something isn't there that they didn't promise.

Seems very likely. Although they did a great job with Legion.

The opt-in came out earlier too, so that means it's more ready than Legion was during the announcement.

Classic servers are a carrot on a stick for all the players who like vanilla. I'd be surprised if they are up and running somewhere in 2018. I'd bet they'll come mid 2019.
