      And all of this in a buy to play game (in case of retail) with mandatory subscription
      Let's also not forget 50$ for basic account services and customer support being practically unusable with massive lag and response wait time counted in days just to get an automated message

    This is an actual genius move by blizzard. In fact *puts on tin foil hat* I'm willing to bet this is the entire reason they greenlit classic in the first place. 2 separate instances of wow running at the same time means 2 shops and the ability to sell the SAME ITEM to the SAME PERSON, TWICE. Also you can get people to spend twice as much time on your game farming the same mount again!

    Every single person who pays 25$ for a mount, in a 20 year old game, for a addon which has been originaly released 14 years ago and just been re-released, because the Studio is unable to create anything new... should be put on a list of people who are not allowed to use the internet on their own and should be required to have an trained person sitting next to them. They already paid a monthly fee... to play a 14 year old addon... Blizzard literally copy&pasts their old code... migrate it a little bit and still charge you money... you've already paid 14 years ago, AGAIN!

    The prophecy.
    Blizzard out there using the Quake Nailgun like it's back in style.

    You would have to dig up Blizzards grave to put the last nail in the coffin at this point….

    This is how you flatline a game. It was a good run, hope Private servers make a comeback, they handled Blizzards game with much more care than Blizzard ever had.

      It didn't flatline retail, and the community is so cooked that im willing to bet that even if one out of 10 people buy shit on the store, they're gonna make a killing off of this. You really think this will flatline the game? You're fuckin stupid.
      To be clear, this is a dogshit move on blizzards part. Expected, but dogshit. It's gonna work too, because the majority of the playerbase either has no strong feelings towards MTX or will outright purchase shit from said store. People that hate MTX enough for it to negatively impact their sales enough to actually cook the game entirely? Noone has that kind of community except maybe helldivers 2 lmao

    Classic Era is Classic now. The progression realms are Retail Era.

    The crazy thing is, these prices look super cheap when you're used to seeing f2p gacha mobile game prices

    Blizzard, Microsoft, Sony, Activision, Boeing, 343, Amazon, among many others seem to have collectively lost their minds.
