Tell Blizzard about it. With WoW "classic", they are literally selling the same series of games... twice. You thought loot boxes were the cash king, these guys are on a whole other level. Or all the "remakes", a testament to the industry's lack of creativity; get a game from the 90s, redo the assets and rendering engine... bam, profits!

This is ignoring the fact that WoW players had been clamoring for Blizzard to find a way to bring back classic servers for years. It even lead to the infamous “you think you do but you don’t” meme when a player asked J. Allen Brack if it would ever happen at Blizzcon. They’re not even being cashgrabby about it imo, a subscription to modern day wow means you can play classic wow for “free” and vice versa.
