The details of the demo for WoW Classic are known. We will reveal what can be played.
At BlizzCon 2018 and a few days later, all owners of the virtual BlizzCon ticket can dive into a demo version of World of Warcraft Classic. The developers want to show how far they are with the game and how it already feels. Now Blizzard has revealed the scope that the demo version will have.
What is playable? On the Alliance side, the area of Westfall is playable, while on the Horde side, it takes place in the Barrens. All characters start at level 15 for the purpose of the demo, so they already have a few talent points and abilities.
- The maximum level is 19, and characters cannot leave the two test areas.
- You can create multiple characters, allowing you to try out different classes and professions.
- No dungeons will be available, and PvP is only possible through the duel function.
How much can be played? To give all ticket buyers a chance to dive into the game, the time per player will be limited. It may happen that WoW disconnects you after a few hours to allow other players to join. After all, there is no phasing, and the areas could become quickly overcrowded with few servers.
If you log in later, you can pick up exactly where you left off.
The servers will be open at least from November 2nd to 8th.
What has changed since then? Although it is Classic, there are a few changes that come from the new version of WoW. However, these are primarily features intended to facilitate fair gameplay. These include:
- The game starts through the Battle.net app
- The cross-Blizzard chat is available
- Widescreen monitors are supported
- Players can be reported by right-clicking
- Supportive features, such as the “colorblind mode,” are included
You can also look forward to these 5 great things with Classic.
However, there will not be a 32-bit client. After all, the “old” World of Warcraft is based on the current code, and support for 32-bit systems has also been discontinued.
What do you think of Blizzard’s plans? Does that sound good for a demo? Or is that far too little to form an opinion?
A former employee believes that Classic will not be completed until 2021.
