While every successive expansion, starting with Burning Crusade, added and revamped plenty of elements of the game, historically the dividing line between the old era and the modern one of World of Warcraft is the division between Wrath and Cataclysm. Here’s why it must happen.Īs far as I see it, the whole purpose of WoW Classic is to take us back to an early era of the game before it was changed, modified, and reshaped into a far different beast than what players fell in love with back in the mid-2000s. Let’s not even pretend otherwise.Īnd when that day arrives, when WoW Classic transitions into its third major iteration, I sincerely hope that Blizzard will have the wisdom to announce that this is as far as the Classic servers will go and leave us in Wrath indefinitely. When Blizzard opens those frozen doors, it’s going to be a stampede. There’s a sizable contingent of players who haven’t been that keen on old Azeroth or Outland who are champing at the bit to experience Northrend. But c’mon, we all know it’s going to happen most likely in 2023. Considering that we are just in the early months of Burning Crusade Classic, I think it might be both premature and presumptuous to be looking forward to a Wrath of the Lich King Classic.
