Why should you care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find out why it\u2019s so popular<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wow-classic-insert-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22317\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For fifteen years World of Warcraft has seen off, well, everyone. As one of the few MMOs of its era to still be left standing after the late 2000s MMO wars, it\u2019s worth checking it out to see exactly why this won and so many lost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No baggage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wow-classic-insert-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22318\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing retail World of Warcraft means navigating a maze of baggage. With a load of expansions &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/every-world-warcraft-expansion-ranked-worst-best\/\">not all of them of the same quality<\/a> &#8211; you\u2019ve got a load to learn, or disregard, when you play. WoW Classic doesn\u2019t have that, it\u2019s just one game, one world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s hard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wow-classic-insert-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22319\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s little hand holding in the original World of Warcraft, death comes often and quickly for unprepared players. In these post-Dark Souls days you might be hungering for a challenge, and World of Warcraft Classic might just be it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Like, really hard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wow-classic-insert-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22320\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Really, World of Warcraft Classic isn\u2019t a game to be stepped into lightly, you\u2019ll have to read up, learn, and you will die. Even things like \u2018using a weapon\u2019 require time and you won\u2019t be proficient at first It\u2019s a real challenge, but on the other hand&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travel back to a simpler time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wow-classic-insert-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22321\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a more manageable challenge. You have two continents, a handful of raids, and only a few races and classes. Whilst it is a hard game, it is one with a clarity of choice and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019ll run on almost anything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wow-classic-insert-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22323\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The game doesn\u2019t use the original engine so the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/us\/wow-classic-release-date-news,news-29578.html\">requirements are higher than they originally were<\/a>, it doesn\u2019t utilise many of the effects later added. So if your computer needs an upgrade, you might still be able to give WoW Classic a spin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ll have to engage with the M in MMO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wow-classic-insert-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22324\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With no group finder in the game and many quests requiring more than one player, you\u2019re simply forced to engage with other people in World of Warcraft Classic. It means the world feels alive with people in a way that many other MMOs don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life\u2019ll be a bit slower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wow-classic-insert-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22325\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Levelling to the max level will take you time, the world record took over four days of almost continuous play. Everything\u2019s just a bit slower, and with the real world getting faster and busier, that might be what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There\u2019s real reward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wow-classic-insert-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22326\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With everything being harder, including dungeons, raids, getting loot, and professions, simply having something or achieving something has a real sense of reward to it. Looted an Epic item? Wow &#8211; people will stop and look as you pass.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wow-classic-insert-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22327\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With great power comes great responsibility, as a spider-chap once was told. In World of Warcraft Classic if you group with others to take on a challenge you matter. You can\u2019t coast, you can\u2019t sit back and let others take up the slack. You. Matter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>World of Warcraft Classic will be released on the 27th of August, and we can\u2019t wait to step back in time. Are you looking forward to it?
