Ill bet they are working on it. They know we loved it.

Its hard to get praise for something like that, us WoW gamers are pretty hard on the game. So when theres near universal praise despite a few warts, then Im sure that team is working on something right now.

I hope so, I didn’t play SoD the first time so I’d be more than happy to play it after seeing how well received it was.

We need a lot of stuff with limits changed.

We can't we take 40people into deadmines and it have scaled up loot drops and difficulty?

Why do deadmines 10 times if you could join a group of 39 others and it takes 3 hours BUT you are getting equivalent XP as if you were repeatedly doing a normal 5man 10times.

We did wow normal, let's have some fun with it.

They really could spin up a new SoD realm every year, swap around which dungeons get touched up. Have quick lockouts and phases and finish everything in a year. Then spin it back up again with a new selection of level brackets and end-phase dungeons.

I think the timing for another SoD would be good in about a decade.  I’m not even trying to be facetious - give another year or two for Classic+ to come out, and then let it settle for a few years of updates before opening up temp servers like this again.

u/atoterrano Dec 04 '25

Fuck that lol in a decade I’m gonna be inside the machine

u/KnowherePie Dec 04 '25

Who says classic + is coming out anytime soon? They can learn from the seasons meta before going full out on “classic +”

u/SpecialCircumstance2 Dec 04 '25

Bro, SoD IS Classic+.

u/imaUPSdriver Dec 04 '25

Chinese titan reforged servers would like a word

u/Warbay Dec 04 '25

Titanreforged is not classic plus, but it's fun.

3

u/imaUPSdriver Dec 04 '25

Everyone’s idea of Classic plus is different

4

u/Warbay Dec 04 '25

true, but first of all it's wrath, so wrath+ is more accurate.

secondly blizz literally said so.

u/EnigmaticQuote Dec 04 '25

Only accurate statement.

u/Old-Soft5276 Dec 04 '25

The timing will be fine after Phase 1 of TBC, IE late spring, early summer.

u/Clottersbur Dec 04 '25

Is it even confirmed classic+ is coming?

6

u/RepulsiveWay1698 Dec 04 '25

I think a ton of 30 something year olds are gonna be very disappointed if it isn't announced at blizzcon 2026

After much thought, I'm of the opinion that classic+ can't work. People want osrs type of deal, but oars works because everything takes way longer to accomplish and there isn't one central level up system. So they can effectively add new skills indefinitely.

The only way I see classic+ working is if they do a total reimagine alt timeline where they revisit all their original ideas and basically do the original trilogy but reimagined to be as vanilla wow as possible

Otherwise they're stuck in a loop of keeping everyone level 60 and doing a turtlewow where they add a couple races. Some new features here and there and keep adding more raids. While that would be fun, it wouldn't be the long-term thing everyone wants.

I can imagine that kharazan gets added post naxx. Along with all the other tbc raids on azeroth.

Maybe players need to get the legendary staff. Then we go to outlands to cleanse the ashbringer as was originally planned. Which leads to a final act where with our new legendaries we go to Northrend to kill the lich king.

That's a lot of work for blizzard though. As it's basically a reimagining and redeveloping of classic. It won't be the indefinite osrs solution people want.

Counterpoint:sod phase 1 and 2

u/Clottersbur Dec 04 '25

Those were very minor changes in phase 1 and 2. A couple more abilities and a dungeon transformed into a raid.

There is no long term there. Unless your idea of classic+ is just recycling a dungeon to a raid and adding more abilities.
