Blizzard has surprisingly announced fresh level 1 servers for Wrath of the Lich King Classic in the official forum of World of Warcraft. With this, the developers fulfill a wish that already existed before the launch of Burning Crusade Classic.
When Blizzard Burning Crusade Classic for World of Warcraft was announced, many Classic fans (especially from the streamer- and private server-corner, but not only) wished for fresh servers, where all equally start from level 1 need to. But why start from level 1 when you already have optimally equipped and prepared end-game characters that can immediately conquer the new regions? Well, there are some advantages of fresh realms:
- Everyone starts from scratch. Everyone enters the new continent with equipment from the level phase. The economy can develop slowly. No one can pay for things like epic flying out of petty cash, which is already very well filled.
- The new content feels more challenging at the beginning because you don’t have access to the BiS items from the last endgame phase.
- The faction balance can unfold anew on all servers.
- Players will only gradually hit the new continent, which will have a noticeably positive effect on the level experience in the new zones.
With WotLK Classic Blizzard has a foresight
For Burning Crusade Classic, this request from the community was ignored. There were no fresh servers. Old server problems from the Classic era were carried over into the TBC Classic era (where they usually got worse). Despite layering, reasonable questing was challenging on many realms during the launch phase. Does all this await us with WotLK Classic as well?
Well, at least Blizzard is now offering an option that will allow those interested to have a game experience without legacy. In the official forum, Community Manager Kaivax announced that there will indeed be completely new realms for the Northrend adventure. Once these servers come online with the preparation patch phase, they will offer the talent trees and class abilities of the WotLK era. Of course, all the content from WoW. (buy now ) Classic and TBC Classic will be available. Nordend itself will then open at the official launch of WotLK Classic.
The framework for this “fresh” experience reads as follows:
- All players start with new characters at level 1.
- You may not level up your character on new start realms for at least 90 days.
- For at least 90 days, realms for new beginnings are not available destinations for character transfers.
- Death knights cannot be created on these realms without a level 55 character on the same realm.
6 steps to the launch of WotLK Classic
Kaivax also reveals exactly what Blizzard’s plan is leading up to the launch of WotLK Classic. The following steps are on the developers’ to-do list:
- The restrictions on switching between PvE and PvP will be lifted (This includes lifting the restriction regarding characters of both factions on a PvP realm).
- Closed beta test of Wrath Classic
- Clone service for Classic Era will end
- Existing realms are united (Before we unite the realms, we will relax the restriction on the number of characters you can create per realm. This will be raised to 50 characters per account).
- New realms to start over with the Wrath Classic preparation patch.
- Wrath of the Lich King release
Last but not least, Kaivax explains: “Ultimately, we hope players will spread out to all available realms as Wrath of the Lich King Classic approaches. For players hoping for a chance at faction balance, we’re hopeful that the fresh start will help ensure that they’ll be able to play balanced for a long time. For players who want to level in dungeons, we hope the presence of like-minded players will make that more likely.” What do you guys think of this?
