Announced the release of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.
BlizzCon 2017 for fans of World of Warcraft turned out to be particularly exciting: in addition to the expected new additions and exciting short films, Blizzard Entertainment announced the official return of “vanilla” World of Warcraft — the game, which was released in 2004 year and haven’t got a million updates and additions.
However, from the stage of BlizzCon no explanatory details are not sounded. As told by Executive producer J. Allen Brack (J. Allen Brack) in an interview with Eurogamer, Blizzard, and she did not fully know how it will look World of Warcraft Classic. For example, how to take money from players (and to take it at all)? How to solve the problem with the server infrastructure, which for many years has changed dramatically? How to deprogram the game back to its original condition? The answers to these questions Blizzard is still looking for. Companies partly help the creators of an unofficial server, Nostalrius.
But brek promised that once happened to the official announcement, Blizzard will support World of Warcraft Classic to the last. There will be a situation when the game starts, and it will close in a couple of months after gamers will be fed up with nostalgia. “Vanilla” will remain with us for long anyway.
The main goal of the developers is to recreate those game mechanics that have been in World of Warcraft during the times the grass is greener. At the moment, Blizzard is not planning any point changes to the gameplay that would make the game similar to its current (and improved, which is already there) embodiment. Like, like as before, you get and don’t complain that your memory was only good.
Blizzard confirms that World of Warcraft Classic is a separate team, so the development of the actual World of Warcraft did not slow down. But even the approximate date of the launch of “vanilla” is not yet known. There is still too much work.
