WoW Classic has launched and players are currently queuing. At the launch, Blizzard released a trailer that not only celebrates the release of Classic but also 15 years of World of Warcraft. And there is quite a lot to discover.
What kind of trailer is it? With the trailer “A Toast to 15 Years”, Blizzard kills two birds with one stone: the developers celebrate 15 years of World of Warcraft and the launch of WoW Classic.
The Classic servers went live on August 27 at 12:01 AM and seem to be well received by players. Currently, players are waiting not only in queues but also in-game.
In keeping with the title, the “Toast” takes place in a tavern in WoW. A singer starts a song and one or two familiar faces can also be seen.
What is there to see? The scene apparently takes place in World of Warcraft or in a WoW-based inn. A guest picks up a lute and starts a song.
His song is about how players met years ago in World of Warcraft. Back then, still weak and “nooby”, they became stronger together and were able to create their own legend.
In the song, the singer addresses some things that many players can surely relate to: he reports that his group took 40 hours for the raid boss Ragnaros and that the long time spent with their fellow players in WoW strengthened their bonds so much that they are now friends for life.
Which stars stand out to you? You should pay special attention to the other people in the tavern. Some familiar faces have sneaked in and can be seen from time to time.
In an early scene, for instance, the streamer Sodapoppin, who recently warned about the Classic hype appears. This is followed by Game of Thrones actor Kristian Nairn, who played the role of Hodor in the series. Also seen are the voice actor and D&D master Matt Mercer, whom many of you may know as McCree in Overwatch, the famous Leeroy Jenkins, as well as MMA and WWE star Ronda Rousey.
