Many of our readers come from the Classic WoW subreddit – a place that got a little too meme heavy prior to launch despite having a “strict low-effort posting policy”. Post-launch, there is a huge influx of sharing and quality content (for the time being), including this hilarious Stitches encounter. User ‘Spazznax’ talks about how…
Month: August 2019
Classic Launch, Queue Queue Noob!
Between August 26th and now, I have played a grand total of 22 seconds of Classic. On Monday evening, I found a relatively quiet corner in one of the lecture halls at my college, and set up camp. Fortunately for me, laptops are my form factor of choice and moving from my home desk to…
Will Classic WoW Have Competitive Esports?
Aside from everyone claiming to have the first 6-slot bag drop, the competition to ‘World First Level 60’ already has plenty of fireworks (a mage named Jokerd is miles ahead by aoe grinding on August 29th). Reddit has the rush to 60 covered, and Method is running updates and a Race To World First Ragnaros/Onyxia…
Father Of Twelve Children Withdraws From World First 60 Race
Classic WoW leveling has no place for fairy tales. Douglas Gordon, 48, announced to his long-suffering wife and twelve children that he would be withdrawing from the ‘World First Race to 60‘. Method (the top-tier guild covering the sadistic race individuals are undertaking) has been informed and is “devastated” to hear the news of another…
Where Have We Been The Last 6 Days?
We’re committed to posting daily content and WoW Classic updates and that plan is still in motion. The last couple of months have been awesome. Instead of withering into a broken husk waiting for Classic to launch, I’ve got to work with Chips on a nostalgic love of ours. This last week has been…
DING 60! Joana’s 2006 World Record Run on Twitch (But You’re Probably Faster)
Joana, a legendary Classic WoW speed leveling guru, is streaming his world record 2006 run on Twitch. He will hit 60 (again) 1 hour before Classic WoW releases, but I got to witness the first playthrough which went for 4 days, 20 hours (nice) and a major Twitch chat fail. Oh, and you’ll be level…
The Original WoW Classic Team Tries 2019 Vanilla Warcraft
That title hurt to type. The literal gods of Classic WoW sat down together to play what they created in 2004. Featured are the following people and their original job titles: Aaron Keller (3D Artist) Alex Afrasiabi (Game Designer) Jeff Kaplan (Game Designer) Pat Nagle (Game Designer) Tom Chilton (Game Designer) Of course, they rolled…
Our Plan for Classic Launch
The hype is building and launch day is nearly here; we’re less than a week away now! Donut and I wanted to put together a response to everyone asking, “So what’s the plan?” tl;dr: Herod, Alliance. The guild is going to be formed ASAP, help is required! If you’re online, hop in Discord for some…
Class/Race Data from the WoW Classic Public Test
Chips provided a recap of the /r/classicwow census responses, but what did people actually roll on the stress test realms? We ran a census addon during the majority of the public test, and have results for all factions on the PvP and PvE realms!
Two New PvP Realms Announced – 7 Days Until Classic Launches
Other than Grob-Mob, all PvP realms are now at full or high populations. This has prompted Blizzard to open two new PvP realms on August 19th at 6:00pm PDT: Blaumeux – PvP – Pacific Time Zone Skeram – PvP – Eastern Time Zone Citizens are still being urged to move off realms unless they want…
