The second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, removed the original versions of the Naxxramas and Onyxia raids and all items that could be obtained from them added a Random Dungeon Finder tool, which many players felt spoiled the "social aspect" of the game and made certain UI improvements that were criticized for reducing the need to read quest descriptions. Burning Crusade also added flying mounts, which were criticized for their effect on world PvP raised the level cap to 70, which was criticized for making all level 60 content obsolete and opened the formerly faction-specific Paladin and Shaman classes to both factions. For example, the game's first expansion, The Burning Crusade, removed the original level-60 version of Kazzak, and in the process, all of the items that he dropped became forever unobtainable. Every expansion has removed or replaced old content and introduced controversial or unwanted mechanics, resulting in many players expressing a preference for older versions of the game. The option of Classic servers has been a long-standing request in the World of Warcraft community.
Unlike the content patches for the original game, these phases did not modify the core game mechanics such as character abilities in any way the game balance has been set to the 1.12.1 version of the game since release. This means that game content originally released in patches, such as the Blackwing Lair, Ahn'Qiraj, and Naxxramas raids, battlegrounds like Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley, and certain items and quests, became available after launch according to a six-phase schedule.
WORLD OF WARCRAFT CLASSES PATCH
To emulate the original game's patch release cycle, content in Classic was released in phases. The game world is restored to its original, pre- Cataclysm state, and expansion areas such as Outland are not accessible. Races and classes added in the expansions are not available in the game. As in the original version of the game, only Alliance players can become paladins, and only Horde players can become shamans. The original nine classes are present: druid, hunter, mage, paladin, priest, rogue, shaman, warlock and warrior. Players can choose from the eight original races of World of Warcraft: humans, dwarves, gnomes, and night elves for the Alliance, and orcs, trolls, tauren, and the Forsaken for the Horde. As the game's multiple expansions have dramatically changed the gameplay over time, Classic allows players to relive the original experience, albeit some modern interface and functional enhancements introduced in later expansions have been integrated, as well as re-patching of bugs and exploits that were present at the original release of patch 1.12. The maximum level of the player characters is set to 60, all expansion content is absent, and almost all the gameplay mechanics of the original version have been exactly replicated.
