Yeah, seems like there is alot more positivity for WoW now than there was at the recent reveal event. The reveal trailer for the new expansion for main WoW got about 1 dislike for every 6 likes, while the reveal trailer for WoW Classic's Cataclysm expansion got about 1 dislike for every 4 likes. This new video for WoW Classic is sitting at 32 likes for every dislike, hugely more positive. Seems like people were largely worried that Cataclysm would be forced on them in WoW Classic, and since many old WoW fans felt like Cataclysm was the expansion that started WoW's decline, they were understandably worried that Cata would destroy WoW Classic just as it destroyed WoW. Now that we know vanilla WoW Classic will be maintained separately from Cata WoW Classic, I guess people are much less worried. Also helps that they are making some needed changes to Cata for Classic which will make it a better experience than it was originally in main WoW.

Xbox really needs to get WoW and WoW Classic onto Xbox somehow, would love to get back into it again after more than a decade, but my PC doesn't even meet the minimum requirement anymore.

In Chris Metzen we trust! I'm not too worried about the new trilogy of expansions. The worst received expansions for WoW like Mists of Pandaria, Battle for Azeroth, and Shadowlands, Chris didn't have any involvement in, so I trust he'll be able to turn the franchise around now that he's Creative Director over the Warcraft universe. 

Cataclysm definitely started out strong at release, but as more content was added is when players started to turn sour. Still the sickest box art in the games history imo lol. I personally wasn't a fan of how much Blizzard changed the landscape of the game with Cataclysm and the Dungeon Finder. The game started to feel like an automated experience with that feature. It would be great if we're eventually able to get to the point to where Blizzard has servers available for every expansion, but that's a fever dream lol.

As long as the traditional vanilla WoW experience remains untouched with Hardcore and Seasonal servers for vanilla WoW remaining separate experiences, the playerbase will be happy. It's funny how many love that original experience. 

Bruh, is your PC a potato????

Pretty much. It was a budget $500 gaming PC when I built it in 2015, and that was 8 years ago. It has a 4th gen Intel i3 CPU, a GTX 950 GPU, 8GB of DDR3, and a mechanical 7200 RPM 1 TB hard drive. 

The minimum requirement for WoW now is a 4th gen i5 (I only have a 4th gen i3) and an SSD (I only have a mechanical hard drive). I meet the minimum requirement on GPU and RAM, but only just barely, as a 950 and 8GB of RAM are pretty much the bare minimum. 

Trying to decide if I should buy a cheap refurbished gaming PC from Amazon with better specs than I currently have for $300-400, or if I should wait and save and build like a $1000 PC beginning of next gen instead of buying the next gen Xbox, since Xbox keeps treating console owners like 2nd class citizens.
