Full timewalking vs releasing older expansions

[RemasteredClassic]

I think apart from vanilla classic, other classics should be implemented as part of timewalking instead, including their respective rewards systems. Timewalking rotation through entire expansions with the entire expansion features including the associated class abilities & talents, in other words a simulation of each expansion inside retail where you could go back to Legion Mage Tower and earn those rewards again for example.

They have the tech to do it, but I'm guessing the challenge is allowing multiple class skills/talents/ability-bars systems at the same time. I don't think releasing more classics is manageable in the long run. WoW would need a terabyte of disk space for all expansions to run separately from each other.

That sounds like a bad idea.

The reason why people want to play Classic versions, is to experience the journey of that expansion. Going from nothing to something. If it was just becasue we wanted to raid or try max lvl stuff in that expansion, BT/Ulduar Timewalking would be much more popular than it is.

TW is not popular because people don't know how to advertsie it in LFG. People don't know what they reward. For the so called "best raid of all time" there is never anyone looking to run Ulduar let alone the other two.

u forgot the massive change in class abilities and design
the easiest example while i raided ICC for months non stop, i'd never do it timewalk, because dispel now has 6 sec cd
those dungeons/raids were designed for the abilities u had back then, bfa removed most of them making them unplayable unless they get heavily nerfed, making it instead of relive experience a frankestien deformation of ur experience

So,so many things would break.... the closest thing I could see to that kinda sorta working is if they make templates with gears,stats,and talents of the time but that is still a massive amount of work.
