  • WoW Classic targets the original WoW player base, the same player base that’s been playing since the game released in 2004, so if you started playing WoW at later expansions, like Cataclysm, or Mist of Pandaria, it may not hit you with the same nostalgia as so many other WoW veterans. I guess one could argue that the difference between WoW Classic and retail is, simply put, accessibility.

  • World of Warcraft: Classic is a great game. It always has been. But I definitely think Blizzard might have missed the mark when it comes to securing the interest of their player base in the future. Right now, many players are still holding onto the core story because they have been there from the beginning and just want to see it have a satisfying close.

  • WoW Classic is far more than a historical novelty, and the incredible design shines through even today. It may seem odd to play an MMO, a genre that hinges on the constant promise of an evolving future, with an ostensibly finite lifespan as updates take us to where WoW ended before the Burning Crusade, but WoW Classic proves that there’s so much to be experienced in that journey. With WoW Classic available to anyone with a WoW subscription, it’s an adventure worth taking – whether again or for the first time.

  • Overall World of Warcraft Classic is a solid effort and a ton of fun. Like I mentioned previously, I never wanted to bring back Vanilla and yes, there are some things which have been annoying me. Like having to face my target when I Moonfire or clicking on a quest item out in the world, but someone else clicks first and gets it. I’m not sure how long I will keep with Classic, but right now I am having fun and only logging onto retail for raid nights, which says a lot.

  • World of Warcraft Classic is still the exact same MMO I remembered losing so many nights to as a teenager, and 15 years later it's still just as fun and as frustrating as I'd hoped it would be.

  • The world is continuous, so the only loading screens you’ll see are when logging on, entering an instance or crossing between the two continents. There’s very little, in fact, to distract you from the world… from the sense that you’re playing a single-player RPG which just happens to have lots of other people in it.

  • If you're after a nostalgic experience, World of Warcraft: Classic is for you. If you're new to this wonderful fantasy setting, Classic WoW is also for you. And if you want to experience the origins of the most popular MMORPG in the world, Classic is for you too. Do you see where we are going with this? We highly recommend World of Warcraft: Classic to players old and new.

  • A well-implemented redux of a moment in time, which may surprise you with its engaging focus on leveling and the friendliness of its players.

  • WoW Classic offers exactly what fans wanted – an untouched version of a game that came out fifteen years ago... warts and all. Thankfully, Classic captures much of the magic that made the game such a phenomenon in the first place. Whether fans will still overlook this in the months to come remains to be seen, but for now it's a fantastic trip down memory lane.

  • WoW Classic es un título muy especial que, si alguna vez jugaste al WoW original, va a volver a atraparte, a absorberte y a devolverte unas sensaciones que son muy difíciles de experimentar en otro juego, contando con algo intangible, algo muy especial, ese "no sé qué" que hace que "el WoW" sea único en su especie.

    Remember back then, when every new upcoming MMO would show up and everyone would say it is a "WoW Killer"? And it turns out it failed. This has happened for years. And guess what, they can try and try but they will always fail. Nothing can top over Classic WoW. Classic WoW is the perfect example of "if it aint broken, don't fix it." Leveling was engaging. The world of Azeroth was interesting to explore even if you have explored it for the 800th time. Class progression as well as professions was easy to level up. It just feels perfect. FF online thought they could snatch the title. They did briefly. But, FF online has been bleeding players and where do they go? Back to Classic. If you have not tried World of Warcraft on its peak, I highly recommend you subscribe and get yourself WoW Classic. If you still do not want to subscribe but want to try it out, there are numerous WoW Vanilla private servers out there. I wont recommend it tho. I would recommend you try the legit server. I am currently playing on the Hardcore server and still having a blast.

    The drums of war thunder once again the best games ever. It is characterized by a wide world and an excellent story with the multiplicity of races and specializations... The game is also characterized by the number of connected players... And do not forget the expansion that Blizzard makes for the game. An integrated game:hearts:, I advise everyone to try it👌
