![]() Content is released, players play through it and then immediately want new things to do. WoW Classic players are basically on the same content treadmill that the game was on in 2008. Perhaps Cataclysm Classic could do the same, taking the expansion we remember and reshaping it to be something almost like Cataclysm, but not quite. Classic started off as a museum piece for players to re-experience the game as it once was, but now it’s become an alternate track, the gaming equivalent of a What if…? What if World of Warcraft had made different decisions during its development? What if we never got the Dungeon Finder? What if Ulduar was out longer, and gear didn’t inflate so much near the end of the expansion? What if there were Heroic Plus dungeons ? What if they fixed Battle for Undercity … okay, look, they’re game developers, not miracle workers, some things are impossible. With every new Phase, players burn through new raids, dungeons, and zones at a record pace. So why would Blizzard even consider a Cataclysm Classic?īecause players clearly want more content in WoW Classic. ![]() And moreover, it doubled down on the Dungeon Finder concept by adding Raid Finder, further eroding the community feel that Classic players crave. It added zones to the game’s original continents while tearing others asunder - The Barrens was split into two zones, the Gilneas Wall was torn down, and much more besides. It changed Azeroth’s old world to the point where it wasn’t even recognizable, completely reshaping Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Cataclysm is the expansion WoW Classic exists to essentially refute. Would Cataclysm break the world WoW Classic has built for its players? Wrath Classic, on the other hand, never intends to have a Dungeon Finder.Īnd it’s possible that Blizzard might do something similar with Cataclysm Classic. ![]() This system wasn’t in Wrath when it first launched, but was added later. They enjoy smaller server communities where they build their own groups and make lasting friends and connections with other players - rather than the Group Finder automating the process, quickly building groups where you might never say a word, or learn your fellow players names. A lot of players prefer playing the older version of World of Warcraft that Classic provides, and the recent release of Wrath of the Lich King Classic means those players have multiple options: Classic era realms that will stay forever in the Azeroth of 2004, or Wrath realms where players can march on Icecrown, roll a Death Knight, and otherwise enjoy the game as it was in 2008.īut Wrath Classic is not entirely faithful to the original Wrath of the Lich King, and has made some notable changes to keep the feel of Wrath rather than the reality of Wrath. Specific changes have been made to suit the Classic community’s wants, most notably the removal of the Dungeon Finder tool which helps preserve the close-knit community feel that Classic players want. While we don’t have confirmation that there will be a Cataclysm Classic after Wrath Classic, I believe it’s inevitable, simply because WoW Classic is tremendously popular.
