Watch Now! WoW Classic with Creators

I have to admit, there's something about the amount of effort they appear to be putting into this launch. It just feels... different. Honestly perhaps it's because I never expected them to even do this.

Why are they inviting all the bad devs but not people like Rob Pardo that truly made the game tick? Oh wait, they are too disgusted to be associated with this filthy company these days

That was cool! Old school vets still around and kickin'.

That video made me unreasonably happy.

Pardo is so amazing that his game studio has released dozens of quality games. Oh wait....

Are you that dense bro, they are still in the recruiting process and aren't even started yet.

That last part with Alex Afrasiabi is so true. I don't know why anyone would not want to experience the past again, it made us who we are, what we like, what we did and what we archived. Good and bad, it doesn't matter, without the past you would not be where you are now. All my past experiences growing up that I collected I still value to this date, some games, like WoW Classic, Diablo 1, Worms Armageddon will ALWAYS be my personal favorite. My music taste is still the same, I still enjoy the same sports, I even still have some of my friends from back then. That's a good thing, I think many people that are mad or disappointed about their past have deep regrets and can't understand other people loving their home/past. I will love it so much!

its also a referance to what many people often dream about; To go back in time and "relive" those days when we were young. In many ways we can never do that, in any aspect at all.

This time around, many of us sort of can. This game was a huge deal for many young gamers out there and it shaped many lives.

Im stoked!

Where is Mark Kern and Rob Pardo???

You think you don't... But you do?

Their nearly childlike happiness is very endearing, and it's funny how they seem to get a dawning realization of "well, maybe we got something right at the time and we lost sight of it in all these years".
I can't help but notice how many of their awed comments are some form of "rediscovery" of lots of design paragdim that have changed since.
Like "the main character of the game is the world".

Mark Kern is not in good terms with Blizzard, and Rob Pardo resigned in 2014.

Most heartwarming thing about it: Mark Kern isn't in it.

So good to see Jeff Kaplan and the original team back together to play and talk about the game. This video felt so hearthwarming.

I want to thank all the Blizzard team for made this gift for me and so many other players . World of Warcraft was and is a big part of my life for so many years and I had a great moments there . I also meet people from all over the world (EU) . I hope this game last for ever .

Feel free to take their example if you really think that bs is in any way true.

Mark is also a huge asshole and likes to make everything about himself.

People like you are so negative that you literally cannot be pleased. Ever.

Kern is a clown, though I do wonder what he could do with a Classic bus.
