When it comes to World of Warcraft, it's not uncommon for players to talk about Blizzard scrapping the whole "let's make an expansion" thing in favor of simply releasing a "WoW 2" instead.

I haven't bothered with WoW Classic very much at all since it went live, since the thing I'm interested in about it -- getting to see the old world of Azeroth I remember from launch -- is wrapped up in stuff I very much don't want, like actually playing the game I remember from launch.

Let me get this out of the way: There is no indication that Blizzard is going to add Nintendo-themed skins to Overwatch, nor do I think it's likely to happen at any point in the future.

Whether you played in vanilla WoW and knew what to expect with WoW Classic or if you simply heard stories from those players and went into WoW Classic with a specific mindset, there's probably some aspect of Classic that's caught you off guard.

It seems fairly clear that the StarCraft franchise is on the back burner right now.

It's been one week since launch, and a lot of people are playing WoW Classic.

I always imagined my character living in one of the main cities such as Dalaran or Silvermoon, but as soon as I saw that little house in Stormsong Valley, I thought, "That's my home." All the Kul Tiran homes look cozy, with their boat beds and knickknacks scattered around a warm hearth.

If you couldn't tell by the massive queues and plethora of social media chatter, WoW Classic is all the rage right now.

Over the course of 15 years of World of Warcraft, we've fought a lot of things -- big things, little things, some things as big as your head.

It happened.
