I've been hearing for a while that Chinese servers have ten times the players that Western Classic realms have and, more importantly, the Chinese LOVE pay to win and being able to show off their money to their fellow players.
Blizzard/Microsoft is obviously raking in huge cash from China, and, in something completely unprecedented, their Devs just said their focus for the next year would be on this new Titanforge Realm available only in China. US and EU Classic players can eat a dick.
I know you guys are as upset about this as I am, so I encourage you to write your congressmen. Hell, even Trump himself should get involved.

I heard you need a Chinese social id number or something. Heard some streamers talking about trying to find a way to get in but it's apparently not just a matter of buying something and accepting bad ping.
Plus, you'd 100% need a full English-speaking guild or it's pointless if you don't speak fluent Chinese.

Back when I lived in China you needed a national ID number to make online accounts but there were ways to spoof them. These days I'm pretty out of the loop
Ping isn't an issue anymore we're in the New Reality now, it's all fiber everywhere even China. And I dunno about you but I speak Chinese and everyone under 40 in China speaks English anyways so it's nbd
Let me talk to some people who are still mainland and see what the deal is

Honestly, this particular idea of a random release of old Vanilla-WOTLK raids doesn't excite me all that much so I won't bend over backwards to play it.
The stunning thing is that Blizzard is prioritizing China over the US and EU for the next year. That is completely unprecedented, and I see no reason to think it won't continue if reports of Chinese players paying hundreds of dollars for store-bought mounts is true.
We're living in a new world.

It's not that weird, there's probably like 5% of player count demand for new classic content in NA and Europe combined compared to China, even apart from the assumption that Chinese are more willing to pay money for cosmetics etc. Blizzard would release more classic wow content for westerners if the demand existed. But it doesn't, so they don't
The funniest part of this imo is how much the Chinese adore classic wow, which is such an implicitly and really almost explicitly White virtual world, composed of White characters and White culture and White interpretations of fantasy, myth, meaning, etc
It's par for the course - Chinese people love and respect Western history and culture. It reminds me of how they build replica historical European cities and neighborhoods and cosplay as historical Europeans for fun

I play on Classic Era Whitemane, and there's a very active Chinese guild (Loong) with both horde and alliance raids. They are pretty good.
The whole medieval Western world of the Alliance is the main thing that attracts me to WoW. Whenever I take a break from the game, all I have to do is walk into Stormwind and hear the music and catch the vibe and I'm drawn in once again.
That's just what happened to Xaryu this week- he was playing OSRS but couldn't stay away:
