Announcements regarding World of Warcraft were the most numerous during the opening ceremony of the BlizzCon 2023 and during subsequent panels this weekend, culminating in the announcement of the Worldsoul Saga (Worldsoul Saga) and in particular of the tenth extension of MMORPG, The War Within, expected next year. Before that, nostalgic players and those wanting to rediscover the game as it was many years ago were entitled to an announcement continuing what Blizzard has already proposed, namely the arrival of Cataclysm Classicwhich will be launched on World of Warcraft Classic servers during the first half of 2024 and will allow us to relive this significant chapter where the dragon Deathwing will come to sow desolation Azeroth.
Unfortunately, as we learn from a question-and-answer session shared by Warcraft Wiki, there are currently no plans for servers that only allow play until Wrath of the Lich King Classic. This decision therefore immediately removes part of the interest in offering classic servers since the transformation of the gaming zones carried out from Cataclysm is one of the reasons why the community wanted to have it…
In terms of additions, in addition to the new features specific to the original extension (five new zones, ten new Dungeons and seven Raids), the gameplay comfort improvements already made to the previous content will still be present, with the addition an easy climb to level 80in particular thanks to an increased patch rate.
