Dragonwhat? This is the real big Warcraft announcement for today, right here.

Sure, Blizzard may have announced World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, but the bigger news is that they also announced World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic today!

Multi-hour long queues, just as you remembered them.

Blizzard launched World of Warcraft Classic today to some very eager rose-tinted glasses wearing fans today. The servers were live at around 6PM (ET) but you probably aren't even able to get in.
