The new WoW Classic servers won't be going live in 2017

WoW Classic servers are currently being worked on and look to be an intensely difficult project to pull off.

As usual, Blizzard have refused to offer even a rough release date or window for Warcraft Vanilla, which will look to take the game back to basics.

According to the games giant, fans have been asking for such a thing from them for quite sometime.

Some saw the move by the company to shutdown the private vanilla servers earlier this year as an indication they were moving closer to this goal.

But it was only on Friday during the Blizzcon 2017 Opening Ceremony when we finally found out it was possible.

A Classic server option is now in development, with Blizzard quick to point out that they do not known when it will be ready.

All the original equipment to run such a project is gone and a lot of work will be needed to get the balance right on new tech.

But it’s clear that whenever it is ready to go live, there will be plenty of people ready to test it out.
