    This is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for with Classic. (I had zero interest in Hardcore, btw.)

    I love that they are adding new content to the old world without making changes to the fundamental structure of the game. (I have no interest in WotLK with its game-ruining Dungeon Finder, or Cataclysm, which changed the actual shape of the world.)

    Spicing up the classes with runes is totally fine with me. Different sets of runes for future seasons would be a great way to keep things fresh! And if that's too much for you, you can just stay on your old server and not participate in seasons, so I'm not sure why anyone could consider it a problem.

    More of this, please!

    Always have to be careful and take into consideration that no matter what, it's a 20 year old game and it will show as such.

    I checked out suuuper quick on that, i mean it's nice to see and log into 100 to 130+ Trolls and Orcs surrounding you, but once the reality sits in, and you are on your 3rd scorpion tail, with 7 more to go, and you are level 6 already.....you need to remind yourself that this is not permanent.

    This is this new type of Season content they are trying out which is just a tacked on idea taken from Diablo ladder seasons; you play on these seasonal realms, and once the season is over you have the option to transfer that character over to the main Classic Era realms; and then they start anew on another Season idea.

    People are going to catch on and it won't take much time for players to call out Blizzards laziness and desperation to hold onto players disguised as: "taking risks"

    None of this is taking a risk; i don't think Blizzard devs know what taking risks are anymore.

    You know what a risk would look like for Blizzard? Making a brand new next-gen mmorpg that not entirely replaces WoW, but could help shepherd their userbase into a more modern era of mmorpg gaming; THAT is a risk, a risk that was once a opportunity they fucking squandered for sales figures back when they could have.

    It looks to be mostly spells from retail rehashed into classic. No interest in seeing a rogue or warlock tank tbh. Agree with the commenter above.

    It's no less permanent than starting a character on any other MMO server, so idk why you're acting like people are foolish for doing something they find enjoyable.

    They said there's a chance you'll even get to keep your runes, which I personally would find very worthwhile. Runes are already making the game more interesting in a lot of ways, and I'm not even level 10 yet.

    Maybe the other discoveries (other than runes) will be amazing, and maybe they will be disappointing, but most of the people in my guild are very excited about the 10-person raids.

    Um ... don't some renegade Wow private servers already do stuff like this? How the mighty have fallen.

    Huh? Did you read the article? They will go up in level increments over time all the way to level 60. These are just a new kind of progression server and frankly, for me with limited time, I like it.

    The rune system also seems like a nice new twist on the classic game. Will be interesting to see how that turns out.
