![]() ![]() Is something widespread? Or is it a problem right now for a specific individual? We definitely see communities forming and new friendships being made, so we’re wary of overadjusting. The thing we have to pay attention to is being careful not to overemphasize any one person’s opinion, be it our own or any particular person complaining about an initiative. GLHF: Have you seen that organic group forming, that sense of community building on servers? Or has it not really worked the way you thought?īirmingham: It’s realm-by-realm - some realms really do have a close-knit community and some realms don’t. We did, however, create a bulletin board-style tool where you can list your group or yourself and recruit from it for a variety of activities, so you won’t need to resort to spamming Trade Chat to find a group. That’s how it was in the first few patch cycles of Wrath originally, and we don’t think that the LFG tool features really “fit in” with Classic. We decided that when we brought back Classic Wrath, we wanted to take that feature out and recapture the sense of local community and organic group formation. Could you go into more detail about it?īirmingham: For those unaware, the Looking for Group tool as most modern WoW players know it didn’t come into existence until the final patch of Wrath of the Lich King - bringing with it the ability to queue directly into a dungeon and automatically form a group for you. GLHF: I fully admit, I didn’t follow a lot of the hubbub around the Looking For Group tool announcement for Classic Wrath earlier this year. ![]() Players won’t be able to see each other, and outside of the keep PvP is still enabled, so players will have to compete for the elemental spawns. This does create another problem, however - what happens when both factions in different instances won Wintergrasp? So to solve that, we’re making sure that both factions, if they’ve won, can go to the keep and access Archavon. If anybody comes back to your server having won their match, they unlock the Wintergrasp features, like Archavon and elemental spawns, for your faction. The question was “What do we do with an outdoor PvP zone when there are multiple copies of it?” Our answer was to create a battleground that spins up so you can play region-wide matches against various servers. Aside from that, additional layers still play a factor in Classic server management, allowing larger servers with a larger capacity.īirmingham: That’s a really good segue because layers created a unique problem with Wintergrasp. You aren’t required to have a level 55 character on your realm to create one either, which was a requirement in the original version - with the exception of ‘fresh realms,’ which do have that requirement imposed, as well as preventing transfers into the realm. Resendez: One of the biggest differences is that we did, from the get-go, was enable people to create Death Knights before the expansion even launched, starting with the pre-patch. GLHF: So let’s kick things off with a broad question - what are some of the most significant differences between what Wrath Classic is doing now and what Wrath was on its original launch? ![]()
