![]() With the Restoration, you're able to automatically restore items that you may have accidentally sold or disenchanted, without needing to clog the in-game ticket system. ![]() On this day, Blizzard released the Restoration feature! We are listening.ĭuring Blizzcon 2017, Blizzard did announce they're working on classic realms! Blizzard was recently hiring software engineers and senior software engineers for the Classic project, which means it is still in very early development. We thank you for your constructive thoughts and suggestions. You, the Blizzard community, are the most dedicated, passionate players out there. They obviously care deeply about the game, and we look forward to more conversations with them in the coming weeks. One other note - we’ve recently been in contact with some of the folks who operated Nostalrius. We aren’t sure whether this version of a clean slate is something that would appeal to the community and it’s still an open topic of discussion. In essence that would turn off all leveling acceleration including character transfers, heirloom gear, character boosts, Recruit-A-Friend bonuses, WoW Token, and access to cross realm zones, as well as group finder. ![]() So what can we do to capture that nostalgia of when WoW first launched? Over the years we have talked about a “pristine realm”. However, there are tremendous operational challenges to integrating classic servers, not to mention the ongoing support of multiple live versions for every aspect of WoW. If we could push a button and all of this would be created, we would. We explored options for developing classic servers and none could be executed without great difficulty. And while we’ve looked into the possibility – there is not a clear legal path to protect Blizzard’s IP and grant an operating license to a pirate server. This applies to anything that uses WoW’s IP, including unofficial servers. Why not just let Nostalrius continue the way it was? The honest answer is, failure to protect against intellectual property infringement would damage Blizzard’s rights. From active internal team discussions to after-hours meetings with leadership, this subject has been highly debated. We have been discussing classic servers for years - it’s a topic every BlizzCon - and especially over the past few weeks. In fact, I personally work at Blizzard because of my love for classic WoW. ![]() Many of us across Blizzard and the WoW Dev team have been passionate players ever since classic WoW. Our silence on this subject definitely doesn’t reflect our level of engagement and passion around this topic. We wanted to let you know that we’ve been closely following the Nostalrius discussion and we appreciate your constructive thoughts and suggestions. ![]()
