WoW Classic Patch 1.13.6 and Naxxramas Release Dates

Kelthuzad beckons!

Who cares...everyone will play the real WoW at this time.

I'll pass, classic just didn't catch me, Shadowlands it is for me.

So the patch goes live on a Sunday of all days but no actual content is available till the 3rd when both Naxxramas and the scourge invasion will open at the same time? Wouldnt it make more sense for the scourge invasion to at least start a couple of days before naxx unlocks? If thats how it was in vanilla then so be it, but it seems strange.

Good luck to those classic andys, I'll be enjoying Retail

I don't understand why they would overlap Naxxramas and Shadowlands release dates.

As a player with interest in both, this seems like a severe oversight... they must be in a rush to get to TBClassic, i'd say. 4 months for AQ when every other raid tier in classic lasted ~6 months is just weird.

No thanks.

Why would you ever release Shadowlands and Naxxramas in the same period. Making players with interest in both contents chooses between them.


Unless you intentionally want to kill one of them (which is more likely to be Classic). The only good outcome of this is that you might want to release TBC. But this is way more forced than what I would expect.

How is your business actually benefiting from this? I would really like to know.

Blizzard competence at its finest.

Hmm, new food.... or 15 year old leftovers?

Why would you overlap Shadowlands and Naxx? Now I have to choose..

Ah good some content for my preferred version of the game. Thought I'd try shadowlands but think I'll give it a miss!

Maximize earnings/MAUs in a competitive quarter/year.

Because the 200 People still playing Classic don't have an impact at all.

Fucking MAU boost. Was hoping for Naxx to drop 1-2 months after Shadowlands so I can enjoy the new expansion then move on to raid Naxx a bit.

I suppose raid log classic.

There are more people playing classic than 200 ahaha.

why so soon? lol, they would certainly make more money if they used naxx after shadowlands launch to retain some players and a little marketing

He's just trying to trigger people lmao. I'm sure he's very happy in his store bought fairy suit on retail.

Its way to close to the SL release. There are a lot of people who play both retail and Classic, they should have thought this out more. Still looking forward to see Naxx.
