After long weeks without (or almost) no communication, Burning Crusade Classic players are struggling to see the end of the first expansion of World of Warcraft, even waiting impatiently for the next one to destroy it slowly. : Wrath of the classic Lich King. . However, while Blizzard has yet to make an official announcement on this, new things are on the horizon to set the tone for things to come… Starting this week!
here is the program Speculative The coming weeks:
- Monday July 25, 2022: Happy Voyages bonus available in Ocean Kingdoms (confirmed)
- Tuesday July 26, 2022: Happy Travels bonus available in US kingdoms
- Wednesday July 27, 2022: Happy Travels bonus available in European realms
- Wednesday August 10, 2022: Consolidation of the Classic Crusader Kingdom
- Wednesday August 10, 2022: Transition to Firemaw and Gehennas reopens
- Wednesday August 10, 2022: Wrath of Lich King Classic Pre-Patch Layout
- Tuesday, September 27, 2022: Classic Wrath of the Lich King layout
Bonus for the “Happy Travel” experience
A bonus called “Happy Travels” released on June 22 will soon allow all Burning Crusade Classic players to enjoy a 50% bonus from all sources (including missions, creature kills, or end of battle). ).
If we still do not know the release date of this bonus, we know that as of the early morning of Monday July 25, 2022, it is fast approaching and it is time to do more. A month of radio silence. Players from the BC Classic Oceania realms are already eligible for this active bonus in their realm (The source), plans to distribute in Europe in the near future. above all, The “Happy Travels” bonus should logically be placed in the European world on Wednesday July 27, 2022. From the classic Burning Crusade.
As a reminder, Blizzard claimed that it would take approx.6 to 8 weeksand will be placed a few weeks before the classic Wrath of the Lich King pre-patch. This bonus is intended to last until the official release of the extension, which is estimated on Tuesday, September 27, 2022 according to the latest “leaks” to date.
Server changes
Following the previous announcement last June, Blizzard also announced the consolidation (and removal) of certain servers deemed “very sparsely populated”, as well as the complete shutdown of a few other servers in high demand: Firemaw, more recently Gehennas.
This regrouping is still scheduled for Wednesday, August 10, 2022. The Europeans are among us. This should particularly affect a few French-speaking players other than those on Amnenar, as this server will have completely disappeared by this date.
Things have changed recently on the side of the locked realms of Firemaw and Gehennas. If until now it was possible not only to migrate to these kingdoms, but also to create new characters, if you do not already have a character on this server, this Sunday, June 24, 2022, the situation has changed! Character creation is still open to everyone in these two areas.Presumably until the consolidation of the other kingdoms on August 10, only immigration is restricted indefinitely.
This is also an opportunity to remember that Blizzard has announced the arrival of so-called “Fresh” servers from the Classic PrePatch of Wrath of the Lich King for those who want to start fresh with everyone at the same time in complete health. their server. But here it is… we still don’t know the official release date of these servers because we don’t know the date of the PrePatch either… and exactly…
Wrath of the Lich King PrePatch
We don’t know almost everything about this long-awaited pre-patch or its official release date. However, certain elements already make it possible to predict the minimum of the latter. Here’s what we know so far:
- “Happy Travel” experience bonus “6 to 8 weeks” (The source)
- The “Happy Travel” bonus is available in Oceania (The source)
- There will be significant changes to some servers on August 10, 2022 (source)
- Expansion release date set for Wednesday, September 27, 2022 (source)
So where are we now? It’s not too fearful that the August 10th server consolidation will happen alongside the PrePach rollout for a pretty simple reason: it’s a major event for the internal server infrastructure. but also to distribute the players on it. Therefore, such an event should “logically” occur at the same time as PrePatch, the other big event that will affect the servers the most in the coming weeks. Two birds with one stone.
So we get the bonus experience distributed on July 27, followed by the pre-patch on August 10, which naturally brings us to Wednesday September 27 for the expansion deadline with 9 weeks of bonus experience. and Pre-Patch of 7.
So is it possible? Answer me very quickly. We hope that the experience bonus is distributed this week, it will be a very good start and a second wind for the classic version of the game, which has slowed down a bit in recent weeks due to new features and especially the lack of communication. . .
