They won't enforce it. Bots were always supposed to be banned but that didn't stop SoD being full of them. Just another marketing tactic to keep people engaged.

I never played vanilla but I've honestly been enjoying Classic and especially Season of Discovery.
People might shit on it but I like the slower gameplay of Classic when compared to the ADHD riddled procfest of retail.
GDKP might be "banned" but I'm sure the groups already thought up ways to do it more covertly or cleverly so nothing will change really.

Not exactly Classic+ but I'm guessing this belongs here more than the retail thread. They're heavily remixing MoP. It'll be interesting to see how far they go with this but I'm glad they're dipping their toes into uncharted territory rather than doing the same old progression server crap.

What is WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria?

World of Warcraft Remix is a time-limited event which allows players to re-experience the entirety of the Mists of Pandaria expansion at an accelerated rate from level 10 through 70. All loot has been completely overhauled and has powerful new effects allowing players to shape their experience, power up, and power on. Features include:

  • Accelerated Leveling and Content allowing you to take on nearly every quest, scenario, dungeon and raid.
  • Create a new WoW Remix character starting at level 10 to adventure through the event up to level 70.
  • A mountain of loot: Get powerful items from everywhere— quests, chests, creatures, bosses.
  • Customizable items allowing you to power up as far as you can go to take on tougher content.
  • Convert unwanted items into Bronze which can be used to upgrade items or purchase cosmetics.
  • Keep what you collect: Take your collection of transmogs with you into The War Within.

classic+ is a fundamentally shit idea, worse than hardcore somehow they're just pipelining classic players into retail slurpers

also turdle wow is run by sheena who used to RMT on elysium
one of the many reasons private servers are dead on arrival

either the playerbase doesn't last (thanks to classic splitting everything up), or it's run by retards, or it's run by shady retards - always some combination of these

Turtle is online since 2018 and doing pretty well today. I've been briefly playing Classic Era, and it was deader than old Blizzard, before switching to Turtle, and boom, it's jam-packed with players.

The altered lighting and shadowing does not look correct. The zones were not designed to be viewed that way.

I won't be using Lumen. It doesn't look right, but they might as well add it after doing the lion's share of the work porting it over to the Unreal 5 renderer. The rest of the features are futureproofing the game for the next 20 years.

ARM support is the most notable one, because I'm not convinced I'll be using x86 five-ten years from now. Moor's law is slowing down and we're nearly at the end of the road for node process shrinks. Something's gotta give.
