Maybe this year, maybe next year, maybe the year after. Simply said, no one knows at this point. Even Blizzard themselves probably have no idea.

When are we most likely to experience content draught in BfA? Thinking from a sales and marketing standpoint, that would be good time to launch Classic.

Oh that sounds like good bet too. If we were buying squares or had office pool, I'd pick this one.

Assuming Classic and retail will run on the same sub, there is no reason to wait for any content droughts. Blizz will get their money anyway and population and income charts for the shareholder will not be "drained".
That release could be tomorrow or in 5 years. But BFA or any other expansion wouldn't by logic affect the release date. Otherwise, Blizz would only release their other games or their other games major patches during lulls of eachother.
It will be coming out tomorrow....
... someone will say one day.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
I've been saying it since it was announced ... late 2019, during Vanilla's 15th anniversary. I really can't understand why this isn't the commonly-accepted launch, as it's the most obvious.
I am the one who knocks ... because I need your permission to enter.
Probably during the end of BfA when the lul and sub drop off period happens.
Yes. April 1st.
For real, does this need a topic? I'm 100% certain if there was any news you'd see it front page or on the classic forums here. mfw people make +1 posts before reading. Takes less time to read/skim

It makes a huge difference actually. If they release the classic servers during a time when people would normally unsubscribe from the live version of the game they can probably get one, two or even three more months of subscription out of them. That's more money from subscriptions than the whole private server crowd could earn them in 10 years. The third crowd of returning players that aren't playing live or private servers have a limited life span, they'll play the game for X amount of months and then be fulfilled and quit the game so for them it won't matter when the game is launched.
Giving the retail crowd the ability to play both simultaneously "while they're hot" is essentially throwing money away.
this year blizzcon you will hear news about it, the launch of classic will be either, when competing mmo releases so big patch/expansion, or during content drought of bfa
