I have the solution to your confusion here. Using "classic" (not capitalized) makes that word an adjective. Using "Classic" (capitalized) makes that word a proper noun, as in a shorthand method for referring to World of Warcraft Classic, the game we are all currently playing. I think Nyxt hit is on the head with "WoW Classic: TBC" as the likely naming convention for future installments of our current obsession.
Huzzah for rules of grammar, now we can all use the word "classic" in different contexts and effectively communicate our message to each other!

Can't wait for classic MoP(Please no.)
i guess they will base the decision on the loads of subscription data they are constantly gathering, have access to and analyse.
im pretty sure they have insights of what are the right timespans between announcements, the release of new phases etc. to build hype and to get people to resub because they see numbers falling and so on.
after all they want more money to make shareholders happy.
furthermore from a business standpoint i think its more likely to happen that they just bring back the other addons next because based on the assumption that they have more backed up data from the addons that came after classic it costs less to re-release them than to create classic+ and canibibalize/ridicule bfa even more. i would use the truckloads of excess money to strenghten my other brands or create a totally new product that reels in players from competitors who arent playing blizz games right now
Yeah, seriously. Let's not pull a Neville Chamberlain and go the way of appeasement with this.

Long term, I think there are three options to keep people playing Classic.
1. Classic reboots and you can choose to start over from level 1 on a fresh server.
2. Classic is no longer Classic but instead "Retail from 10 years ago". First, it's TBC Classic, then WotlK Classic, and in 10 years, we will have BfA Classic.
3. New development and the release of Classic+.
What I don't understand about the Classic TBC proposal, is that it just delays the inevitable choice between the above three options.
Personally I would love it if they could just make servers that progress through vanilla, tbc, wotlk, and legion, then restart, skipping all the nonsense of the other three expansions that contributed nothing to the main story arch of the warcraft universe.
But, I would prefer that they apply class design from MOP since I feel like that was the best pvp.
But this is also why I feel like these threads get kind of pointless, because over and over again it just ends up with everyone saying "I prefer this".
I wish I had more programming skills, less employment, and didn't live in a country with laws, then I could just run my own super wow pserver and create the game I want.

In defense of the thread. Almost everyone took what I said the wrong way and completely missed my point. It wasn't for the purpose of discussing what we want in classic+ etc. It's to discuss the pacing of the phases. I used classic+ as an example of a motivator.Telvaine wrote: ↑5 years agoPersonally I would love it if they could just make servers that progress through vanilla, tbc, wotlk, and legion, then restart, skipping all the nonsense of the other three expansions that contributed nothing to the main story arch of the warcraft universe.

So I agree with you that deciding what classic+ should be is a waste of time but, unfortunately, this thread was not intended for that.

Personally, I think Blizzard has absolutely no idea what they're doing.
It was clear with the launch + server issues they did not realize Classic would be as successful as it has become.
I can only imagine that the Blizzard offices are as full of debate as the forums are. If it were up to me, I'd choose the Classic+ model. I was a long-time Runescape player, and when OSRS was released people had a similar sentiment about Jagex, and their abilities as a company.
To everyone's pleasant surprise, Jagex was able to maintain the game, and even bring in new content that everyone found agreeable.
Unfortunately for us, that required a lot of community interaction and transparency I don't think Blizzard is capable of.
As consumers, we need to be clear about our expectations: no microtransactions, no more HK drama, and more say from the community. If we give Blizzard to much control, they'll inevitably fuck it up, that part isn't up for debate.
No, it's just "WoW: The Burning Crusade"
No, that would only make things MORE confusing. Blizzard's own terminology, as used in the Wall of No for many years, refers to "legacy servers" and "limited expansion content realms".Telvaine wrote: ↑5 years agoI have the solution to your confusion here.

Let me start out by saying that I absolutely hope that they will make Classic+. I much rather see classic+ than TBC.
With that being said I sadly don't think it will happen. Even if Classic is a major success by the end of the last phase I think Blizzard will go the safe route and re-release TBC. It will take a lot less effort and at the same time they can't mess up (people already know what TBC was) and the potential for backlash is enormous with Classic+.
