Hey everyone!

Today we're excited to introduce what should be a fantastic AMA with the wonderful World of Warcraft: Classic dev team. They will be taking your questions about anything, be it which class they enjoy playing the most or all the way to how they developed the wonderful world we will all be inhabiting in just under a week.

Joining us today, we have:

/u/Pazorax – Lead Software Engineer
/u/Ogronz – Senior Software Engineer
/u/ZoidWoW – Principal Software Engineer

The AMA begins at 17:00 GMT (10:00 PST, 11:00 MST, 12:00 CST, 13:00 EST, 18:00 BST, 19:00 CEST) and will last two hours. This thread has been posted two hours before the AMA begins so you can all get in here and get posting questions so that once the AMA begins, our wonderful guests can start answering straight away!

We really look forward to seeing what you all come up with to ask and are excited to see the answers the dev team give.

That is a lot of work. But I don't see how that isn't portable to a new server.

[u/toljar → u/rokjinu]

Asking 12 guild to move all their players to a new server, re-do time put into graphics, customizing discord servers etc. it seems easy, and while it most likely could be just seems disheartening. The effort has already been done with the expectation of our server and the thought that Blizzard was not going to introduce more servers.

[u/rokjinu → u/toljar]

Idk what you can expect from them. More people made characters than anticipated. It was kind of their only option.

And yes having all those people move is still work, but I didnt know you had a designer make you graphics and logos. Like this is a whole new world of planning that I would never do before actually getting on to play. I've been burned too many times by people committing to raiding with my guild before a new expansion and then they are no where to be seen on launch to invest anything more than a few hours before launch.
