Over the past few months, the conversation around the world of classic World of Warcraft (WoW) has predominantly centered around the burgeoning hardcore scene. But it’s not solely the hardcore scene that has seen a resurgence on classic servers.
Massively popular Hardcore World of Warcraft Classic guild OnlyFangs has been closed after a week of massive DDoS attacks.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "As someone who missed the chance to return to World of Warcraft when the widely successful Classic servers were first introduced six years ago, in an attempt to replicate the vanilla experience of 2004, I was glad to be given another chance when Blizzard introduced their 20th Anniversary servers late last year, which tried to replicate the World of Warcraft: Classic experience of 2019. In other words, it's World of Warcraft: Classic: Classic. It’s worth noting for this Late Look that I do indeed have previous experience in the world of Azeroth - years of it in fact, but I originally started playing just around the time that vanilla was drawing to a close and the first expansion made its debut, so it’s both a bit of a revisit and a fresh experience to me. And with that, all that’s left to say is: time’s up, let’s do this!"
