One of the biggest choices World of Warcraft had to decide on was what to do with its existing Classic servers WOTLK Classic Gold. When the game was developing Classic there were two types of players emerged. "There were people who wanted to return and go through the expansions over again," Birmingham explained, "And an additional group of players who wanted the game the way it was. We're trying to make sure we honour the commitment for both groups."

This is why World of Warcraft Classic is making the Vanilla server frozen in time, and progressing to all Burning Crusade servers to Wrath of the Lich King in the event that it launches. Of course.

The Vanilla Classic servers will continue to recreate events with Seasons of Mastery to ensure that it does not get old, also World of Warcraft Classic could look into doing Season of Mastery servers with other Burning Crusade and other past expansions if there is a demand for it.

The complexity and scope that comes with World of Warcraft varies greatly with each expansion , which includes Wrath of the Lich King is not an exception. What may have started as a basic Vanilla Legacy server will continue to grow in scope as Classic continues to exist. This raises the question of to what the future holds for World of Warcraft Classic.

"Classic is definitely releasing content faster than the original game did." Zierhut said, "On the other hand, we'd like to be able to release content this quickly. We simply couldn't manage it." In a variety of ways, the release schedule Classic keeps is more similar to what World of Warcraft would have desired.

That means that users will become bored with a lack of things to do. In the meantime, with its current speed, Classic will eventually catch with retail or at least reach expansions that have less nostalgia surrounding them.

In the end, World of Warcraft Classic is dependent on the support of its fans. According to Zierhut the fans will determine the future of the game buy WOTLK Classic Gold. "This whole project has been community-driven-this whole project came to being because the community demanded it," he explained, "So what does the community want to see next?"
