I don’t need to have played this or Turtle or THJ to understand that you don’t spend a decade modding someone else’s game if you could’ve rolled your own IP all along.

Much like with the Turtle WoW crew I wish them the best on their endeavor. If they are able to produce a working game they certainly have a captive audience to provide it to.
But I will believe it when I see it.

It's going to be it's own original MMO.
Do you guys think that Blizzard and Ascension came to some form of agreement and are going to pull an Everquest Legends since Ascension is so different from regular WoW?

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.
I mean that's possible but who knows they are potentially releasing Classic+ at Blizzcon this year.
I think it would be funny as fuck if the walked out on stage and announced Classic+ and it was just fucking Bronzebeard with some slight changes.
Idk personally I'm curious what Ascension has in store, the legal battle happened far to quick I honestly think they might have made an agreement with Blizzard of some sort, Say what you will about Ascension but the servers were unique easily the highest population private servers and printed money. If Blizzard seen that and knew they could get a piece of that with doing minimum work. Who knows.

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 content, then the Ascension devs could easily roll up an alpha state game in a couple months.

I've been thinking for a while that Blizzard should let people make private servers officially, like WC3 custom games, with a server browser on battle.net and let them monetize and take a cut (and require a sub obviously). It's impossible for Classic+ to ever be better than that, because no one agrees on what it should be. So people could just find a server that fits them and play it.
