World of Warcraft Classic launched in August 2019 with many thinking that player numbers would drop off drastically once the rose-tinted glasses came off. But the original World of Warcraft experience continues to be a huge success for Blizzard and has actually doubled the number of players subscribed to WoW since before its launch last year.To get more news about wow classic gold tbc, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

Modern World of Warcraft is expecting its eighth expansion, Shadowlands before the end of the year - exciting stuff if you've kept up with WoW over the years. But if you've drifted away as the game has undergone various - inevitable - changes and you're looking for an MMO experience that's a little more gritty, you could do a lot worse than jumping into World of Warcraft Classic.

World of Warcraft Classic became a thing when Blizzard finally gave in following years of players calling for a return to the 'vanilla' experience of Warcraft. Players got their fix for years through various private 'legacy' servers but when Blizzard ordered Nostalrius, the largest of these to close its doors back in 2016, fans once again called for an official 'vanilla' server. Blizzard finally relented and announced World of Warcraft Classic during the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2018.

When World of Warcraft originally launched way back in 2004, it drew in a huge number of players and rapidly grew to have millions of subscribers worldwide. Aside from the sheer scale of the game, a large force behind the success of the MMO was the world in which it was set.

Azeroth has been around since the original Warcraft: Orcs and Humans launched in 1994 and the subsequent Warcraft 2 games further built on the story and lore. Warcraft 3 was probably the most popular of these early games and introduced us to many of the characters that would go on to play large roles in World of Warcraft, including Sylvanas Windrunner, Jaina Proudmore, and Arthas Menethil, among many others.

So when World of Warcraft launched in 2004, all of the lore, background, and locations that had been laid out in the earlier Warcraft games were brought to life in Blizzard's vast MMO.
