“That’s a choice that players are going to have, so we’re going to have a Classic community from the base game and a Classic community from Burning Crusade, and then we will have the modern Classic community all under a unified framework of playing World of Warcraft.”
Further details of this planned rollout have been announced by Blizzard and include several features for WoW Classic gamers weighing up their options.
This includes the option of boosting your character level to 58, cloning existing characters, or creating a fresh character who can explore the new Burning Crusade Classic starting area.
