How do you think Blizz will roll out Classic?
My guesses:
Will launch with the 1.12 changes, but bosses from the ealier tiers will be buffed to compensate.
Molton Core will unlock around a month after the game is released, but will be tuned so that there is actually some challenge. You will need to farm earlier MC bosses in order to defeat later ones.
After a couple months of MC, or a significant number of guilds defeating MC, then the next raid will open, which will require being decked out in MC gear to complete. Raids will continue to be staggered like this, and will require the previous tiers gear to complete.
The war effect will be tweaked, either the actual mats or the amounts will change, so that the war effort takes at least few weeks at least to complete.
Bottom line is, I don't believe blizz will just release all of classic in one big swoop and say "have at it!" Blizz is the kind of company that when they decide to do something, they do it well. So they will treat Classic almost like it's own expansion. They have a vested interest in dragging this out as long as possible. I think the worse possible case would be for Blizz to release Classic, and have some guilds defeat Nax within the first month or 2.
