Playable at home with a Virtual Ticket this November
During last year’s BlizzCon, attendees first heard aboutWorld of Warcraft Classic, Blizzard’s official take on a nostalgic pre-expansionWoWexperience. At this year’s event, they’ll be able to play it.
The company is going one step further, albeit with a slight catch. You don’t have to fly all the way out to Anaheim to check outWoW Classicbefore launch, but you will need a BlizzCon Virtual Ticket.
Blizzard plans to offer aClassicdemo to all Virtual Ticket holders that’ll launch on November 2 at “around” 1:00pm Pacific and be playable until November 8 at 10:00am Pacific.
“Players will have a chance to explore and enjoy a limited questing experience through a pair of classic early-level zones—one Horde and one Alliance—and experience firsthand our recreation of the original Azeroth,” noted Blizzard. The ticket also includesaccess to a pair of cloaks and banners.
The BlizzCon Virtual Ticket willset you back $50and I won’t judge you for paying up.
As a quick reminder of what exact versionWoW Classicis modeled after, Blizzard settled on usingpatch 1.12as the foundation since it “represents the most complete version of the classic experience.”
