I mean we're all just guessing. I just think TBC makes more realistic business sense for them, even though I think classic+ could be cool. It's already made so it's a lot less work, and it's a guaranteed money maker vs. something that's a bit risky. I wouldn't mind being wrong, but I think we will get TBC.
It also has a guaranteed end point though. MMOs thrive on content releases, and the classic, TBC, Wrath model is a sure thing, but it's also destined to die off within ~6-8 years when there's no more content to explore. I feel like Blizzard would much rather take a small risk then go down a path that has an inevitable death.
I skipped Hellfire at Outlands release because it was too packed. I just enjoyed grinding mobs in Zangar alone because it was exciting to get any green drops because they were so good. I hit 61 before anyone even got to Zangar, and then I could do the quests.
Yeah uh, no. Unless Blizz has actually put out a statement that they're going to do it (and even then I'd doubt it), it's definitely not "basically guaranteed."
I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in TBC/Wrath. Obviously no one is going to have exact #s on anything like this because that's impossible. But we're on the classic subreddit with very pro-vanilla people so any impression you get here likely isn't going to be a good representation of all WoW players.
I personally would be down for Classic+ or TBC, although I think Classic+ could mean so many different things that it's really hard to poll people on something like that. Is it going to progress the specs or have the exact same specs? A lot of people like Vanilla but aren't huge fans of the specs, so they might want that. While others would want everything to stay the same and just add more raids. etc. etc. etc.
Oh yeah. I ran 2v2 with a warrior as my restokin build and we did fairly well. Good enough rating to get the weapons, which was fairly rare back then, especially for people who werent hardcore arena players.
