    I see this "fill a gap" phrase thrown out a lot. Classic WoW is not a gap filler, it is an entirely new game launch, akin to when any other recent Blizzard game has been launched, such as Overwatch. It is very likely that Blizzard advances Classic WoW into TBC, then WotLK, etc. It should be looked at as a game release that will be immensely popular for at MINIMUM 2 years, not as a Battle for Azeroth 4 month content gap filler

    2 years? What are you guys on?

    Honestly I'd expect it to bridge the gap between Legion and BforA... obviously its all speculation. But it will give a number of players something to do after Legion has lost its relevancy.

    what?
    yes it is a new game, but it will keep players busy well the content is limiting, then those that have had enough can leave, and those who havent can stay and split their time between one and another.

    You do know people can play more then 1 game right..?

    Wasn't the first thing they told us at Blizzcon after announcing it is to not expect it any time soon and that almost nothing about it has been decided on as of yet?

    I'd be extremely surprised if it took them 2 years. Late 2018-early 2019? Sure. After blizzcon 2019 (november 2019)? No way, they wouldn't have announced classic otherwise.

    That would be now. I don't see any Classic Servers up. I do not even see a Beta....i do not even see an announcement for a Beta. Get real: At 2018 Blizzcon we will ENTER the real debate phase over which features should be in. And the actual launch will be exactly t the 15th anniversary, which is close to Blizzcon 2019.

    It was announced with BfA, it'll probably be a staggered release leading, or following BfA, so the news will be slow..

    the only reason they announced it so soon is to
    A. shut people up because there was 100+ threads a day about it, feedback giver ingame spammed with it, and twitch chat FILLED with it.
    B. start asking people what they do and do not want so that they can start working on it.

    Do you really think that Blizzard has timed the releases of: StarCraft 2(+ expansions), Diablo 3(+ expansion), Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, or Hearthstone around content droughts in World of Warcraft?

    They don't even have the full team and have been saying that this is a huge undertaking... and you're expecting it sometime between, what, March and September this year? And maybe i'll win the powerball too.

    They likely announced it as about as soon as they realized they could do it, rather than wait for development to start and announce it. Considering it took a lot of wind out of the sails for BfA (or maybe because BfA was looking anemic to begin with) I still don't believe this was the best choice. We'll probably get beta and launch dates at Blizzcon next year, since they don't need a real extensive beta testing with this like they do with an expansion. Just long enough to see if it all works smoothly (so about a month at most. Until then... not really a whole lot of news that they'll probably be able to really share. Maybe once they get to the point where they may look for player feedback on when to start, patch-wise, they'll talk a bit more on progress.

    1. this is also wow, not hearthstone or diablo or etc, this is wow so its gunna be wow fans playing a differant version of wow
    2. uhh yeah very much so, i bet you also think the "blizzard releases patches the same time as other games to try and compete against them" is bullshit and has yet to be proven. Or that the 77 day patch cycle for legion is "fake news"

    Hearthstone released 7 months into SoO's 14 month drought. So yes hearthstone came out at a time that allowed for wow players to be distracted
    Starcraft 2 released 1 month after ruby sanctum, 5 months before Cataclysms release. so yes Starcraft did help during that little drought
    heart of the swarm same month as thunder king, so eehhhh not really.
    legacy of the void 5 months after hellfire came out, and 10 months before legion, so yes this very much came out during WoD's drought, helping people by giving them a blizzard game to play during that drought
    diablo came out 6 months after the dragon soul placing it 4 months before mists of pandaria, so yes it very much did fill that drought time, by giving people a blizzard game to play
    Diablo 3 reaper of souls released 5 months after SoO, a total of 9 months before WoD, so yes very much so was placed between a massive drought in wow.
    Heros of the Storm released same time as hellfire citidal so no it was not placed in a time
    Overwatch Released 3 months before legions release, so yes was placed in a time of massive drought for wow.
    6/8


    This does not include stuff like the massive rehaul done to hots, or the massive rehaul done to diablo.
    But yes alot of their game releases have been during the massive drought at the end of an expansion

    So stating a fact is pessimism? Blizzard themselves said, at Blizzcon, that there isn't even a team in place, that all they have done is figure out HOW to make it work on their current hardware/systems.

    That's straight from the horse's mouth, e.g. people that have just a wee bit more knowledge on the matter than you do.
    Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

    "au contraire", I'm merely mentioning what would happen. People kept pretending they had " just a wee bit more knowledge" than the rest of other people in the past when they claimd that classic wow would never happen and yet here we are...

    Until something's official, never pretend that you have more knowledge about it than the rest of the community. The only thing we know so far is that we don't know anything...sorry for re-using that old line for the 12579847624th time ,-)
