    The content of Wrath Classic is still great and has held up over time really well. However, the many issues and bugs of the launch have dulled the experience, particularly for players on very high-population servers or players who were hoping to join friends already on high-population servers. I’m hopeful that as we move through phase one and into phase two Blizzard will continue to polish things up and get everything righted. However, their history of solid Classic launches has been a bit tarnished with this one.

    A nostalgic return to the best WOW's expansion. With a few changes to relive this classic, it's a placer returning to Rasganorte to fight against Lich King and his undead armies.

    However while pandering to the lgbtq+ community, even in Classic, keeping racism with racial segregation is fine?
    Because let me make this very clear, as a black person I was never a fan of the whole idea of keeping races separated like this. It makes the 2 faction system pretty disgusting the longer you think about it.

    So if they want to remove stuff, how about things that are actually hurtful, like racism?

    wotlk Classic is yet another complete failure of Blizzard.    … Full Review »

Kinda obvious, but unfortunately there are more than enough players, who naively hope for nostalgia.

    Classic isn't the same like it was back then. Yes, the graphic is as crappy as it was back then... and technically still is in retail, since the devs are too lazy to update the world, but with all the new buyable stuff aswell as the bg and arena situation, which the devs made worse you won't feel the old charme you might have felt back in the day.

    This new classic version was purely made out of greed, just like bc.

    Retail is in a terrible state ever since the end of Legion, so for several years at this point and with these age old expansions the devs hope to bring some old players back.
    No wonder. Dragonflights is yet another lazily designed expansion with no new race - female humans and male blood elves... but now looking like drag queens I guess?
    And naked female Worgen with a dragon suit as new feature probably won't win the masses.

    I also agree with the person before me. Blizzard as a whole is pretty hypocritcal.
    Lots of lgbtq stuff came in this game since the lawsuit against the company came to light, going so far as to remove a female and male option for the character creation, yet somehow racism with the faction system is ok? This company is something else xD

    I give Classic 1 point because for solo players it is fine. It's nothing new and can be played for almost 20 years now on retail, but if for some reason someone feels the urge to play it again just with other systems on new servers... here you go I guess?

    However it still has the same ton of limitations like retail of couse. The biggest one is the racial segregation part, which won't let you choose your favorite faction together with your favorite races, which always sucked and still does.

    I guess the only positive side of Classic is the fact that warlords of Draenor, bfa and shadowlands with the overwhelmingly bad lore doesn't exist here.    … Full Review »

    Players wanted the old experience. Instead Blizzard changed wrath of the lich king - more store stuff, lgbtq and like others rightfullyPlayers wanted the old experience. Instead Blizzard changed wrath of the lich king - more store stuff, lgbtq and like others rightfully criticized, left the racist aspect of wow untouched even though they made stuff like non binary genders instead of simply male and female, which now don't exist anymore... because of course they only want lgbtq, but want to keep racism... nice double standards there, Blizzard^^, pvp and pve content got worse and overall there is not much difference to retail. Especially since retail looks exactly the same, because this game didn't get a graphical overhaul for almost 20 years now.

    Sure, keeping archaic graphics in Classic might me fine, but in retail? Come on... Anyway. This is not wrath of the lich king from 2008. This is a new version and because of that, not what I imaged. So no thanks. I won't continue to play this... or retail. Retail is unplayable for years now.    … Full Review »
