On the Bingo card?? That's the Free Space my man.

Given what we saw from Ascension and Turtle WoW, I don't think this is even in the realm of possibility on release. Maybe in a year or two of further development.

This is all going to come down to: If you want to find faults that prevent you from playing, you will find them. If you want to find enough good things to justify playing, you will find them.

If Classic+ had already been out for 2 or 3 years and populations were starting to wane, I'd agree. But Blizzard isn't going to allow anything to compete with a fresh, new Classic+ that they are putting as one of their capstone presentations at Blizzcon this year.

I was speaking from Blizzard's perspective. Shutting down Ascension and Turtle WoW has way more to do with squashing competition than it does protecting their IP. Classic+ is going to be one of Blizzard's biggest PR pushes at this year's Blizzcon and they don't want anything at all competing...

Oh I totally agree that if Ascension opened their books to Blizzard, they definitely wanted a piece. But with something as massive as Classic+ coming this year, whatever Ascension offers can't look ANYTHING like WoW. But licensing out the engine so that all Ascension has to do is art work and...

The only agreement that makes any sense is if Blizzard allows Ascension to use WoW's engine, but they have to come up with their own art / content / story / etc. It might feel like WoW, but it will look ENTIRELY different.

It's pretty obvious now that SoD was a massive petri dish to experiment with different things. If Classic+ is not referred to as "seasonal" then that's pretty clear indication they are going to develop for it for years to come. Another indication in that direction will be if they charge a box...

I'm not sure what you mean by "genuine." The going theory is that they started work on this right after they announced they would be stopping development on SoD. Which was 2 years ago. And if they are really going to deviate from the original WoW storyline starting with not opening the dark...

Fair enough. I wonder what they got changed.

Considering the B1G and SEC both oppose the PCSA, I think it would be very easy for them to beat Congress to the punch.

If Matt is giving in and saying the things most of us have been saying for years, then I think the Super Conference is closer than any of us even know.
