How will WoW Classic incorporate The Burning Crusade?
WoW Classic entered Phase 6 in December, which brought the long lost original form of Naxxramas and the original Scourge Invasion to the game. That was a hefty dose of content for the WoW Classic community, but it’s also the end of original World of Warcraft content — everything that can be released for the game that we had from 2004 to 2006 will be released, and nothing else is going to come along from Vanilla WoW days, because there’s nothing left. And that means that all the players who have finished Naxxramas have nothing else to do.To get more news about buy WoW Classic Items, you can visit lootwowgold official website.
Frankly, I’m surprised Blizzard hasn’t already announced The Burning Crusade for WoW Classic. I mean, I get why not — for one thing, you’re not sure that your nostalgic game has a player base that wants to see TBC, even though J. Allen Brack has been talking about doing exactly that in interviews dating back a year. It came up at BlizzCon 2019 and there was even a poll about whether or not people would be receptive put out by Blizzard. Clearly, this is something people are interested in both internally at Blizzard and in the WoW Classic player base. So why haven’t we heard anything yet?
Well, for one thing, we kind of already have. Blizzard has not so subtly been testing the waters with surveys to determine what player interest would be for a WoW Classic version of The Burning Crusade. There was even some speculation back in October that Blizzard is preparing to release a new WoW Classic beta to test exactly that. But there’s the question of resources — The Burning Crusade is a pretty big expansion, and you’d need a reasonable team to get it ready for its return.
Secondly, how do you even do this? Do you just update WoW Classic to The Burning Crusade, which would mean new talents, new items, and a loss of that nostalgic 1-to-60 feeling? Or do you open up specific servers that are TBC equipped and let people decide if they want to move there or stay in their 1 to 60 version of the game? It’s important to get a handle on what people really want WoW Classic to be — if you start patching and updating every Classic server to some version of TBC, you’ve effectively just made a new World of Warcraft that’s fourteen years behind the retail version, updating to new versions as time goes on.
And that’s another matter — WoW Classic has officially run out of content. With Naxxramas releasing, all the original raids will have released. Barring suddenly deciding to create Classic-only content, Blizzard is basically going to have to give players some of that TBC-era content to run sooner or later. After Naxx, there’s simply nothing left to release for WoW Classic and no matter how much you love going back and doing the old stuff, are you really willing to just farm Naxxramas forever?
