    you know, I remember the times before the expansion we had animated comics with sound, a book telling the story before the expansion, audio drama, character short stories, animated short stories. now it's just three animated short stories and that's it. I wouldn't be surprised if they give them up too.

    Okay, we moved from "talent shows once a month" to "three animated short stories" in the span of a single page. Progress!

    And beyond. Don’t fix what’s not broken. Use that dev time to add more specs and classes.

    Why you don't respond to what I say? None of this shit was during Alpha. We don't know what will they use to promote TWW.

    Still BfA was more impressive than Legion. There was extra surprise CGI trailer (and more in following months) and they composed a whole freaking song for animated short.

    But imo even more important is epic pre-patch like Legion/BfA, SL/DF were really bad.

    We know it will be possum poop. All hope is for midnight, but if Classic eclipses retail then it's the end. We'll eat dry opossum poop because it's cheaper

    Blizzard HQ doing speedrun contests with game content now, lol.

    Oh well, faster to MoP for those who want that I guess.
    I no longer reply to quotations beyond if you're asking a genuine question or have a non-confrontational stance.

    It better be...who cares about the minor bugs(fix those in 10.2.7). The size is the main appeal of him.

    Yeah I mean there isnt a huge appetite for Cata and they are aware of that...even the Blizzcon announcement had that vibe. The sooner it gets to MoP the better.

    So that's like 5 months between tier 1 and 2, and 3 months between tier 2 and 3. Not bad really, considering Firelands was a 7 bosses only raid.

    Catching up to retail could be most elegant way to end "rerun" classic. Cause otherwise what they can do? Leave it on random patch to rot forever? Close and delete people's characters?

    I think the rereleases will end after MoP and they'll focus on Seasons.

    They could simply extend SoD to other expacs. That should have an appeal.

    Maybe, after all MoP and MD will share same max level (90), so it shouldn't be hard to transfer characters. I simply can't see them leaving Classic Era, changing Retail and... dead/finished MoP for some reason.

    No. They said we wouldn't be able to transfer our characters, and they shouldn't do that with the current classic realms. I would love a "season of legacy" though that's made in mind with transfers to the real game, but allowing people to transfer removed items AFTER they said we wouldn't be able to do so would be super bad wtf.

    Do we even think they are going to DO Mists classic if they are speedrunning Cata?

    I don't see why they wouldn't continue with WoD, just massively shortened to account for the drought maybe even just 5 or 6 months in total before Legion Classic

    By making Cata Classic they have kinda shown their hand in that they need to give each expansion a shot, even if it wasn't massively well received. Even more so now that WotLK and Cata Classic was willing to make changes to make it more palatable.
    The world revamp dream will never die!
