There's been a surge of activity in the last year or so due to the re-release of WoW Classic, also known as Vanilla. There are rumours that Burning Crusade will also be re-released soon. I suspect the potential revenue is too good for Blizzard to resist.

I actually have a question here, why would they re-release BC? Isn't the point of Classic to keep it in a certain period of time? When many people started the game and thought it was at its "peak"?

On a side-note: would it be interesting to have a second branch of the game, maybe not called Classic, that would follow the main-line of the game, but would be a large chunk of expansions behind? That way people could relive those old expansions as if they were the latest one released. Personally, I think I would be much more on board with that since the game would actually change over time.

Because there are a lot of fans that think BC was peak. And they’re willing to pay for it again.
