@TheGrey08 @Ricardo63810991 @Marmstrongwow Nobody said "zero changes". The issue is whether the changes actually hurt Classic’s identity. HD models while SD models seem like an afterthought, no classic UI, Skyborne race design, neutral faction mechanics, Black Market AH system and modern Druid forms for Skyborne.

@NuclearWinter69 @Marmstrongwow "Go play Classic" is just a lazy, non-answer from people who apparently can't grasp that what many players wanted was an expanded Classic experience: grounded lore, new zones, dungeons, quests, graphics/art cohesion, and content that actually feels like it belongs in Vanilla.

[HalakorMT @HalakorMT]

@Ricardo63810991 @Marmstrongwow That’s an impressively stupid take considering you’re replying directly under a developer explaining that Forever is specifically meant to preserve Vanilla’s design philosophy while adding new content targeted at former and current vanilla players.

[HalakorMT @HalakorMT]

@oprev @Marmstrongwow They don’t. They couldn’t even shoehorn Skyborne without breaking decades of established lore by calling them High Elves which have only even been referred to the elven group that established Quel'thalas instead of Highborne from Kalimdor which were never known as high elves.

[HalakorMT @HalakorMT]

@AggrendWoW Why do you keep calling skyborne high elves when they aren't? Read up on wow's lore. They are descendants of Highborne Night Elves. There's a difference. High Elves only became known as High Elves after a different group of Highborne established Quel'thalas.

[HalakorMT @HalakorMT]

@AggrendWoW You repeatedly referred to the Skyborne as High Elves, but from what was explained about their origins, they are descended from the Shen’dralar Highborne Night Elves. Skyborne are a different branch of Night Elf Highborne, not descendants of High Elves that settled in Quel'thalas

[HalakorMT @HalakorMT]

@AggrendWoW Give us an option to toggle off Skyborne visuals so that classic purists see skyborne characters as a thematically appropriate race/class combo the same way you implemented transmog toggle. That way everyone is happy and you can keep your corporate forced cash grab retail elves.

[HalakorMT @HalakorMT]

@AggrendWoW So which Blizzard Executive forced you to add made up retail elves that out of the gate breaks one of the three pillars of Forever that you mentioned in your panel, in order to monetize the game? Retail UI, retail graphics, retail elves. This isn't the Classic+, its Retail Minus

[HalakorMT @HalakorMT]

@AggrendWoW Skyborne is such a massive blunder. They don’t belong in Classic+.

You should have expanded on races already present in vanilla, not introduce something that feels imported from retail.

Skyborne and neutral races are the exact opposite of what people wanted from Classic+.
