WoW Classic Best Laptops

First announced in 2017, it has taken 2 years for WoW Classic to finally go live and it has been a tremendous success. On launch day, Twitch recorded over 1.2million concurrent viewers for WoW Classic streams. Servers were full, with queue times up to 6 hours to get into the game. It was so popular there was even queue times for buying a subscription so you could play the game. WoW Classic removes all previous expansions and updates and sticks with the original races/classes first added to the game. It's a chance for players who missed out on World Of Warcraft early days to experience the world it once was.

Also known as Vanilla WoW, WoW Classic removes a lot of the additions that make the game easy and more friendly to casual players. The level grind is real and travelling the world takes longer due to no flying mounts. In the future, the game will slowly update with previous expansions up to around The Wrath of The Lich King, adding content from these updates gradually over time so players can experience the excitement of patch day. These patches and updates will not change or modify player skills or abilities.

In terms of playing WoW Classic on a laptop, the game does not need a powerful machine to run. WoW was first released in 2004 and had been built to be playable on those types of systems, however, it is usuaing an engine from 2006 and that means it still needs some decent power behind it. The game requires a 64-bit OS, so Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 7 64 bit should work. In terms of System Requirements, Classic WoW needs:
