With Blizzcon fast approaching (Tickets are still available!) many WoW Classic content creators and community figures have been discussing what might be coming next for Classic. We're sharing some of the most popular videos about potential Blizzcon announcements, as well as breaking down what we DO know about the future of WoW Classic.
«Classic Plus» is an idea that goes back to the original launch of WoW Classic, following in the footsteps of the highly successful Old School Runescape, which was a relaunch of the original version of Runescape which later implemented entirely new and original content.
WoW Classic reminded many players what truly made Classic special — the world. And within that world, there are plenty of unfinished areas, unused portals which had content designed for it, as well as developer only areas which touched on lore from the vast Warcraft universe. Some examples include the portal in Darkwhisper Gorge, portal in Stormwind City, Ruins of Uldum in Silithus, Timbermaw Hold in Azshara, Emerald Dream from Datamined Maps in 2003, Old Ironforge which is accessible in WoW Classic with clever mechanics, scrapped «Azshara Crater» 40v40 Battleground, Karazhan Crypts, a Dark Portal in Azshara during Alpha Development, Vanilla Dragon Isles, and so on, and so on...
The idea of Classic Plus is basically one thing — brand new content for the WoW Classic game. That's it. Essentially it would be an alternate timeline for post Vanilla WoW, not going the direction of Burning Crusade or Wrath of the Lich King, but maintaining the Level 60, 40-player raids in the original Vanilla Azeroth.
