To give you an example, a dungeon called “Wailing Caverns,” which you get access to at the early stages of the game, is really different between the two versions. There are elite mobs roaming the area even before you reach the entrance, showing the player that dungeons are not to be trifled with –One does not simply walk into a dungeon. In vanilla WoW dungeon designs are more complex and vast. If only I had a count of how many times I died because I pulled a third mob… I can see how modern iteration might seem like the winner on this subject but trust me it gets old quick, meanwhile Classic combat always feels fresh since fights never feel like you’re being taken for granted. In the world of Modern WoW, depending on your class, you can fight 6-12+ mobs at the same time and kill all of them like a legend, while Classic feels like hell itself in comparison. In Classic during your journey to level 60, every creature from basic mobs around the world to elite dungeon mobs can drop something valuable and items can go a long way, while in Modern WoW you probably won’t be using an item that dropped 2 levels ago. World of Warcraft vs “World” of Warcraft In Classic, the world feels livelier Loot matters: Considering there is only a limited amount of content you can do to get reputation at a given time, you will need to invest especially if you want to play as one of these races. In Modern, some parts of the new expansions are gated behind reputation grinds, which includes 8 allied races, and even some dungeons. Rep gated content:Īlthough Classic is the more time-demanding version for sure, Modern is not a walk in the park in this sense (at least if you want to experience all the game has to offer). Without a doubt, it is harder to experiment all the classes in the game if you are playing Classic, especially if you don’t have too much time to spare.

This gives you an opportunity to experiment more with other classes before going full in on one. While you also need to have a high level to acquire all the skills in Modern, you get access to the core spells of the class so much earlier. Like I mentioned above, in Classic it takes some time to level and new skills unlock until you reach the cap of 60, so once you invest in a character for a time, you know it will take longer to reach the same level with another from scratch. With the cost of skills scaling with each level I can’t tell you how many times I have seen my gold go down the drain after visiting a trainer. In Classic WoW, money is really hard to earn at the start without making some extra effort, also easy to spend for sure, because even learning new spells or upgrading existing ones cost money. It is definitely a factor to consider if you want to experience end game content with a more casual playstyle. Leveling is longer:Įven though in Modern WoW players can level up to 120 (yep, you read that right), it takes longer to level in Classic with the cap being just 60. Time Investment Let’s not kid ourselves, it’s an MMORPG you knew what you signed up for. While there is no certain answer for that, after wandering original Azeroth with my now level 42 warlock for a while (don’t judge me it is hard to level!), I thought why not make a quick comparison of the two in order to help newcomers and returning players to see what these have to offer. With the same game having two different versions it brings the inevitable question: “Which one is better?”. Since its release on 26/27 th of August, World of Warcraft’s fanbase has been divided into two groups, people who prefer Modern version and the ones swearing by Classic.
