Blizzard has clarified that a small but nice feature from World of Warcraft Classic will indeed be released. It was completely missing during the beta.
In a few days, it will finally happen, as World of Warcraft Classic launches and invites all players to explore the original version of Azeroth again. The beta test went on for many months, and even currently, there is still a small test active to thoroughly check the last features.
However, players miss one detail from WoW Classic, which they had loved during their “Vanilla” time – the keyring. It will be added later.
What were keys in WoW Classic? In Classic, there were many items that counted as keys. These were particularly necessary to take certain shortcuts in dungeons or to even enter the dungeon at all. For example, if you did not have the right key, you could not enter Scholomance or would be stopped by some doors in Blackrock Depths.
For comparison: In the current WoW, there are hardly any keys as actual items. Most dungeons are freely accessible or have an access quest that rather involves completing a specific story.
Why was the keyring so important? For a long time, there was no keyring in “Vanilla” WoW, much to the dismay of many players. Every key took up an inventory space, and these were particularly scarce in Classic.
Many players only had 12-slot bags, and conveniences like a “resources slot” did not exist back then. This penalized players with a full inventory when they were useful for the group and had many keys.
A keyring was like an additional bag where all keys would be automatically stored.
When will the keyring come to WoW Classic? Blizzard has announced that the keyring will be present again in World of Warcraft Classic. However, not at launch but with the first patch that comes after the release of WoW Classic. A precise date for this is not yet available.
Do you think it’s good that the keyring will still come with WoW Classic? Or would you have preferred it as it was at the beginning of Vanilla, where there was no such luxury?
