With WoW Classic many things are coming back to the game. We will tell you what we are particularly looking forward to!
At BlizzCon 2017, Blizzard finally fulfilled a long-cherished wish for fans of World of Warcraft. After years in which only private servers of the “Vanilla” version of the MMORPG were available, finally “Classic” servers for World of Warcraft were announced.
Although there is no fixed date for the launch of these servers yet, part of the community is excited and lost in nostalgic memories. We have listed some points that we are really looking forward to with “Classic”!
Duskwood – The best quest area of all
Anyone who played a character for the Alliance back in the “good old days” (preferably a human) was sent to the most atmospheric quest area that World of Warcraft has ever had around level 20. Duskwood (or translated the “Twilight Forest”) had a gloomy atmosphere that no other zone in current or past World of Warcraft has ever been able to achieve.
In contrast to the friendly forest of Elwynn, the Redridge Mountains, and even the not-so-bright Westfall, Duskwood was very dark. The sky could only be seen clearly in a few places through the treetops, and creepy eyes peered from the bushes at every corner.
The overall atmosphere was also reflected in the quests. There was the almost legendary questline about the undertaker’s wife. A hermit tries to resurrect his wife and inadvertently creates a monstrosity that subsequently terrorizes the whole forest as “Stitches”. This was a major elite opponent who not only looked incredibly disgusting (as an Alliance player, one had not seen this form of undead before), but was also strong. The worst part was probably that as a player you were “used” to create this creature.
Furthermore: Who doesn’t miss smashing innocent zombies at level 23 in the cemetery of Raven Hill, only to hear the growl of a skeleton and get killed by the creepy skeleton knight Mor’Ladim with just one hit? He was indeed many levels above the other enemies in the area and thus a real threat. Also, he patrolled the whole graveyard. A quick “mana break” quickly turned into a visit to the spirit healer.
Social playing was still important in Classic. This solidarity is what the next page is about.
