A big Classic anouncement is brewing!

[DarkAmbient]

Tipsout just basically announced Classic Beta. He said today we'll see what we'll be playing a few months from now.

[Loreclaw]

Fucking pre-recorded Irvine footage. Goddammit.

What if it's pre-recorded footage they made in Irvine?

Guys just bear this in mind if it is Classic Beta.

Us random forum posters won't be getting in first. It'll be all these streamers for the sake of PR. Which is sad of course.

I don't expect to get in period. Lol. I'm okay with that, though. Not sure I want to ruin my first experience in Vanilla World of Warcraft.

I love Alpha and Betas personally. Because unlike half these streamers getting in who will play for 10 mins a day doing bugger all on Twitch I'll actually go out of my way to look for bugs and report them.

That would mean beta isn't out yet, which would suck. But Tips Out seems pretty excited so I think it's more than that.

If all this hype ends up being nothing I will seriously laugh... xD

August 27 release date

Closed beta begins tomorrow

[WashedUpRaider]

Yeah I was 16. My point was, I had little to no responsibilities then. I had the time to wait and search for people.

I'm just saying... You're using anecdotal evidence. Obviously back in 2004, enough 28 year olds had enough time to make the game the most played game of its genre in history. Just because YOU don't have the time, doesn't mean the majority doesn't either.

comfirmed august 27th release date and closed beta is tomorrow

[Asrialol]

It's just a release date, lmao.

[Eleccybubb]

Sweeeeeeet.

Closed Beta which was expected but release date is pretty damn close.

Bet the BFA playerbase are sweating right now.

[shise]

It has 7m subs not because it's vanilla. it had 7m subscribers because the concept of an MMO game was new back then and everyone wanted to try it.

Vanilla as it is today will never compete with retail no matter how authentic #noChanges it gets.

Exactly. Specially you will have a lot of people who did not play back then, probably not even in TBC, trying it out. And soon realizing that most of the tings take way too long to achieve there.

So are they doing the beta phase like they normally do? Closed Beta for people who get an email and then an open beta?

Yes I understand your point. I just feel that the majority amount of players that kept with the game will get frustrated because of what we've become accustomed to. That is all.

showing off wow 15th anniversary collectors edition for vanilla and BWL is returning for 15 year anniversary similar to what they did for molten core

They haven't done a WoW open beta since MoP kinda with the annual pass.

The worst part is though the streamers are gonna get in first, play an hour of basically running in a circle reporting no feedback then log out.
