Genius move from Blizzard.

By opening a small number of realms early you make the hardcore community / current BfA subscribers roll there.

These realms almost double the amount of PvP realms available but will only open right before launch, and as such they are expected to concentrate most of the casual crowd who is only picking up their sub / the game itself at the launch day. At which points the "Full" realms should lock anyone who doesn't have a character in there already from creating their first character (their usual behavior).

Go on the new realms for the most authentic classic experience possible ? old realms for the tryhard community!

      You can customize your Human and Worgen forms separately in Cataclysm Classic.
      Cataclysm Classic comes with a neat quality of life update which hasn't been included in the game when the expansion originally launched. MrGM discovered you can customize your Worgen and Human forms separately.

      Today's SoD hotfixes bring Hunter and Mage changes, as well as Arathi Basin reputation gear adjustments, and a Wrath Classic fix for certain DoTs affecting players.
      March 12 (Source)
      WoW Classic: Season of Discovery
      Class restrictions on Arathi Basin reputation armor rewards have been lifted on all Classic Era and Season of Discovery realms. Fixed a bug causing Blood for the Blood Loa stacks to not be exchanged when the battle is not active. Hunter Steady Shot damage increased to 75% weapon damage (was 60%). Rune of the Trapper icon should no longer be a question mark. Mage Living Flame movement speed adjusted to 86% of normal player movement speed (was 100%). Living Flame duration reduced 10 seconds (was 20 seconds) Living Flame cooldown reduced to 30 seconds (was 60 seconds). Wrath of the Lich King Classic
      Fixed an issue with Piercing Shots, Deep Wounds, and Ignite that causes them to sometimes do too much damage to players.

      Four years ago, Blizzard decided to remove the word "b****" along with its audio sound from the dialogue between Garrosh and Sylvanas. But now, it's made a comeback in Cataclysm Classic!

      The initial decision to cut the word came after Steve Dansuer, the then Lead Narrative Designer, received feedback from a team member who overheard the voice line while playing the game with his child.
      Steve agreed that removing the word didn't detract from Garrosh's message and went ahead with the edit.
      Placeholder for tweet 1298728022653075456 Now, with Cataclysm Classic, players have noticed the line's return, which isn't surprising since it was originally included in Cataclysm. You can check out the entire dialogue, thanks to N_Tys26.
      Placeholder for tweet 1766198235700580807 It remains to be seen whether Blizzard will decide to remove the line once more. Given WoW's ESRB rating of "T" for Teen, what are your thoughts on this? Share your opinions in the comments below.
