ChinaJoy 2024 is currently underway in Shanghai, and July 27 is also the time when the Blizzard game team came to the booth to meet us, including two heavyweights, Holly and Ion. Xiao O was fortunate to participate in the scene and obtained first-hand information, and shared it with you. (The content of this article is not allowed to be reproduced in any form, thank you)

About the future of World of Warcraft Classic

This is the most important question about the future of World of Warcraft Classic, because Chinese players account for the majority of Classic players, and the number of players in other parts of the world combined is less than that of the Chinese server. Currently, the Chinese server is reopening the Wrath of the Lich King Classic, and the foreign servers have already opened the Cataclysm Classic.


Judging from Blizzard's current situation, Cataclysm Classic is not being properly developed. It may be due to a lack of manpower or the focus is on 11.0-13.0. The opening progress of Cataclysm Classic is also very fast. The ultimate raid "Dragon Soul" will be opened at the beginning of next year. By then, Wrath of the Lich King may be finished in the Chinese server, and Cataclysm in foreign servers may also be finished. Will it be synchronized with "Mists of Pandaria" Classic at that time?

Ion said that Mists of Pandaria Classic is something that many domestic and foreign players are looking forward to, and everyone likes it very much, but there is nothing that can be announced to the public yet. However, from his words, Xiao O thinks that Mists of Pandaria Classic must be in progress, because once the Cataclysm is released, they will definitely start preparing for the next version.


Regarding the future of the Classic Server, Ion also said that the Classic Server, like the official server, is the focus of Blizzard and will not end one day. Therefore, players of the Classic Server can rest assured that there will still be content for us to play in the future.

Question about World of Warcraft Exploration Season

I believe that many players are looking forward to the opening of the exploration season of the national server. Today, the relevant content was explained by two big guys.


According to Blizzard, the Exploration Season is actually the same as the previous Master Season, which is temporary and will end directly when the time is up. The Exploration Season is currently halfway open on foreign servers, and the response is not good (it seems that Blizzard is not very satisfied with the Exploration Season at present), so there is no plan to open the Exploration Season on the Chinese server for the time being. And the Exploration Season should not continue to develop new content after the level 60 content is completed.

At the end of the exchange meeting, Ion asked each of us to give a suggestion that we would like to see implemented. Xiao O expressed his own ideas and repeated his hope to enable PLUS.We also know that Leihuo is working hard to get the opportunity to open the exploration season for the national server, and we hope there will be an opportunity in the future.

Blizzard also said that it will develop new content and new seasons that are even more cooooool and fun, and these new and fun content will definitely be released simultaneously on the Chinese server, so you can rest assured.

About the development progress of World of Warcraft official server

Regarding the official server of World of Warcraft, this should be the thing that Blizzard is currently focusing on. According to Ion, 11.0 "War to the Core" is about to be released, the overall framework, content and version of 12.0 "Darkest Night" are basically determined, and 13.0 "The Last Titan" is also "on the way".


We can see that the development of the official server is actually carried out in parallel. 11.0 and 12.0 are being worked on simultaneously by two teams. Therefore, the quality and opening speed of the future trilogy of the official server can be guaranteed. This is very good news for the players of the official server.

That’s all for today. Thank you for watching. If you find it useful, please share it with your fellow Warcraft fans. This is a quick note of what I was very concerned about during the meeting. You can go to other streamers to see more news.
