Especially given the imminent release of Burning Crusade Classic Before Burning Crusade Classic was even announced, there was a lot of chatter within the WoW community about what happens to the original servers and characters when the inevitable expansion drops. The user base was split. Many players are keen to relive The Burning Crusade, while others want WoW Classic to stay true to its original vision: to serve as a time capsule for the World of Warcraft experience circa 2004. I’m addres...

World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic Developers Talk New Servers, Old Code, and More World of Warcraft Classic would be moving forward to explore the first expansion to Burning Crusade, later this year.

It can be argued that Vanilla, Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King were the Golden Era of WoW, so those of you out there who bounced off Classic may find Burning Crusade a lit...

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands (PC) Review   I’m the WoW guy around here, for what that’s worth. While I’m not playing the game every day, or even every month, I’ve had my account since almost launch (so around 15 years), though I haven’t played all that time. It’s been over a month since Shadowlands has come out for it and it’s an odd throwback to the expansions of yore. Shadowlands basically opens up with the fabric between life and death being torn asunder, by the cu...

And its incredible. Playing video games these days can often feel like a job. No, I’m not referring to my literal work here – over the last ten years more and more games have adopted some form of “live-service” element that incentivizes long term play and commitment. What better way to make money off your game than to ensure butts are firmly planted and playing your one single game till the end of time (or until the servers are shut off)? Crank out the updates, roll out the battle passe...
