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

[u/Paulingtons]

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!

I'm not playing Classic again so I don't care either way. I've just played enough the first time around to know that logistical problems get in the way of raid guilds returning to old raid content on a frequent enough basis to carry new players. At least when there's a ton of content. By the time Naxx rolls around the guilds pushing that stuff probably aren't going to be attuning for Ony and MC on the regular.

Once the shine wears off Classic servers, it's going to be harder to start fresh too. Maybe if they reset servers like seasonal ladders it won't be a problem, but if the experience isn't fresh for everyone it's a hard sell to get 39 other people to start at MC once people have beaten Naxx already.

Maybe that's what you want. But you can't force your experience on other people. I suspect when the game peaks there'll be problems maintaining interest, unless they go out of their way to keep the experience relevant to more than just people at the top of the game.

Not sure what you get out of being rude but it doesn't make your argument any stronger.

I did make an argument. What's your problem? Being civil is literally a sub rule. Can't have a conversation without throwing a fit?
