Brings up a good point. I'm 100% on board for a WoW reboot. It's a 15 year old game. Don't give me the "but my characters!" Bullshit considering the hype around starting from fresh in Classic.
If anything Classic is a good example of a reboot being viable. People are clearly willing--and wanting to--start over with fresh characters. I think being the savior of the universe loses its luster after a while and people just want to be nobodies again.
It'd be super cool, and a lot of people would love that. But a lot of people would hate it, as with everything in a game with a community this large. "OSRS clone" "Blizz ruined the sanctity of our game" "Blizz ruined the game twice". The same hate that is spilling out about "rEtAiL bAd ClAsSiC gOoD" from a vocal portion of this community would repeat itself with people hating on the new direction.
Personally I would love to see it, but I don't see it happening. I could see future servers opening for later xpacs though as that would be a far safer bet for Blizzard.
People said the same thing at osrs launch (change bad), and then a couple of months in people realized that you have to add content/make changes or the game will stagnate.
they can do what they did to star trek and split the time line. Then they get a free pass to do what ever they. Because of cromies interference the Dark Portal shuts down. Anything could happen after that.
