Why not relaunch at this point? No one likes having 40tb of old maps and textures that no one uses anymore. Make WoW now into WoW classic, and just start over with a new team and client.
Hell, due to the storyline being so wacky right now, you could have the Afterlife implode causing the universe in WoW to explode and be reborn or something stupid and start over with a new story and new characters. I mean, why not? I mean, it's less embarrassing than having a story where an Orc hitler time-travels back to the past to cause his grandpa to kill his great-grandkids or whatever.
1. "But my character/avatar/achievements!" - Keep it on classic.
2. "I'm scared of a new game and new systems" - Play on classic.
3. " I still run an Apple II and I will be left out" - It's legit 2021, the hell are you doing, bro? In 2029 you could actually maybe considering an update and getting a computer that can run a modern version of Math Blasters without exploding.
WoW 2 or whatever would be great. A new start - A end to a bunch of spaghetti code that has crippled WoW for years. A new story instead of having twenty million thousand NPC's that are all confusing garbage piles. No more mistakes and empty dead zones that just sit like a bloated tumor on your SSD.
Anyways, I guess I am just asking for WoW 2 and make the cutoff point for classic here. I dunno, what do you guys think?
