Shout out to Nora Mills, she got hardly any crowd engagement and still put on a great expo. I would have been brought down, but she kept her energy up

High elf to alliance and Ogres to horde would’ve been much better, but the rest of this looks pretty solid. Forsaken Paladin inclusion is epic. Perma 60 is awesome, horizontal progression is my preferred game type these days so you don’t feel left behind after a break.

The hesitant cheering during the skyborne section lol

RIP to all the WOW clones and thanks for your hard work and sacrifice. Modern Blizzard couldn't have done this without you!

I can look past the sky elves, but I can't deny it's a big missed opportunity. Still HYPE tho.

I love the silence around the Skyborne announcement. Just what everyone asked for, more elves...

@andreas.johansson90 2 weeks ago

Talks about that stuff should ”feel like it belongs”. Adds blue elfs that are neutral.

Come on fellas what on earth were you thinking with the sky elves

The dwarf dev was the best, but i liked how they presented it overall. Seems the Classic Team really loves what they do and it shines in the pillars and how they talk about the update. Jumping on the hype /train!

After more than a decade and a half of leaving WoW behind, I suddenly find myself so very very interested again.

Apart from the skyborn, they did great. They were clearly people involved and not PR guy proped up with no idea about the game, seem really passionate. Crowd was too quiet they announced really cool stuff

this feels like a trauma bonding event livestreamed

This looks great. Can't wait to play. Much more than I was expecting but feels like they kept it vanilla flavored

the blue elves... was a choice. Aside from those this looks promising

My first fiend was named Sparowhawk, he was a warrior tank and needed a healer. I spammed greater heal and kept him alive and he taught me the game. I fell in love with it.
