WoW Classic Fresh has recently been released, and players are having fun. One of the best things about this launch is that it was smooth, which is rare for Blizzard. South Park cosplayers, queues for quests, friendly GM encounters, gnome marches, and much more!
Classic Fresh launch
WoW Classic Fresh launched on November 21 at 2 PM (PST). It immediately got overwhelmed with players of different kinds. 50 servers in other regions of the world rejoiced for such an event. But unlike the previous Classic Launch, WoW Classic Fresh was prepared. During Fresh first day, servers worked steadily, and players didn’t see any technical problems on launch.
It is rare for Blizzard to hold a successful launch. Blizzard was even infamous for how they held their launches. Overwatch 2, Diablo 4, and various expansions, including the War Within expansion, had difficulties on the launch day. However, we should appreciate Blizzard’s work with the launch of new Classic. Players had no difficulties playing for 24 hours on the first day of Classic Fresh.
Let’s now recap what players were doing during the first hours of WoW Classic Fresh!
Players during the launch
Content creators, regular players, and even veteran players experienced the Classic Era experience again. Many players were making first-level raids to commemorate the WoW Classic Fresh launch. Since Classic release back in 2019, players have been cooperating to defeat Elwynn Forest villain – Gnoll Hogger. These Classic players didn’t miss Hogger and have again decided to beat him up.
Many such players started their journey as humans, but level 1 raids are not their invention. Gnome marches are a community tradition that creates level 1 Gnome characters that march towards the whole Eastern Kingdom’s continent without actual aim. To each their own, many players decided it would be fun to start as Gnome marathon runners. It appears that these gnomes were targeting Mulgore, Tauren start location. 60 lvl 3 mages of Gnome descent from the “Bigpvp” guild reached those mountains.
As for content creators, they streamed the game for their audience since its release. Many streamers have decided to show their love for WoW Classic Era in questionable ways. Twitch streamer Mizkif launched his stream on the Hardcore WoW Classic Fresh server. And he decided to recreate one of the most iconic South Park episodes, “Make Love, now Warcraft’. He streamed from the basement with his friends dressed as South Park’s main characters. Luckily for us, we hadn’t witnessed Cartman’s mom scene.
As for regular players, many had witnessed friendly GM encounters during the first day. Players in various communities have shared screenshots of multiple GM sightings. Most of the GMs didn’t communicate with players and just silently watched from inaccessible places. And then they disappeared without a trace. Players even joked that GMs are always watching like Big Brother. But in the end, it is a good omen to see GMs being in the game. Lately, it has become a rare occurrence for GMs to walk the world of Azeroth.
Conclusion
Many skeptics thought that new Classic would see little of a reaction. But they were wrong. The Classic Era is still a significant phenomenon in the WoW community. Let’s hope that WoW Classic Fresh will keep giving and wish Blizzard and players the best for the game!
