World Of Warcraft Classic
Gadgets
|September 2019
World of Warcraft (WoW) revolutionized the massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) on its release on November 23, 2004. Many people sunk not only hours, but days and even years into the game (including me). As the game went on and started releasing expansions adding content to the game, many players were frustrated with the direction of the game. They felt that Blizzard ignored the player base and made decisions without their input. As a result, private servers (usually fan-made and ran by fans who hosted servers of unauthorized WoW expansions) started popping up all over the place.
Blizzard sent their legal team after them, and banned players who participated on private servers. However, that didn’t stop fans from yearning for nostalgia. One of the most popular private servers, Nostalrius, hosted 150,000 players from February 2015 to April 2016. The fan demand was too much for Blizzard to ignore, and a Change.org petition was made to bring back Vanilla WoW (the first game). At BlizzCon 2017, Blizzard announced WoW Classic would be coming, finally answering the fans’ demand for classic servers.
