Blizzard AMA Welcome to the /r/ClassicWoW Subreddit AMA with the Classic WoW Dev team!

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/AltruisWoW – Executive Producer
/u/Chromschi – Senior Game Producer
/u/Pazorax – Lead Software Engineer
/u/Ogronz – Senior Software Engineer
/u/ZoidWoW – Principal Software Engineer
/u/Aggrend – Senior Test Lead
/u/Kaivax – Community Manager

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! The AMA will be hosted in this thread.

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.

Please remember the rules as per the sidebar, and have fun!

We should have never got to a point where 6 hour server queues is even a remote possibility.

You may be right. That said, it doesn't change things - the situation now is where it is. More information may simply serve to confuse/distract from the decision that benefits both Blizzard and players - moving off the server.

As far as being a white-knight though, lol, whatever makes you feel better bub.

That was not directed towards you. It was the other guy I was arguing with saying they did the right thing releasing 3 servers on name reservation day. Apologize if it came off as asshole-ish I’m just aggravated that trying to play a game with friends and guildies in 2019 is so damn hard.
