My Classic+ Project Input

"What Exactly IS Classic+?" Thumbnail.

With Blizzcon 2026 starting (and ending; I was slacking), I wanted to archive every post I wrote for The Classic+ Project just before this mystical Classic+ gets an official announcement, which obviously didn't work out for me. This is a community initiative that tried to put together people's opinions on what's currently known as World of Warcraft: Forever should be like with plethora of surveys and hosting for people's concepts and ideas. It was a good excuse to write down some of my own thoughts and see how they can be perceived by the crowd that disagrees on everything.

Regardless of what happens next with this project, I wanted to archive all of my suggestions somewhere and don't rely on Internet Archive to pick up my walls of text. I'm going to literally just copy-and-paste all posts in this "article" and add the current score for each of them to give you an additional context. Some posts are great, some were kind of lazy... I think they speak for themselves.

I don't think I would write any posts there at this point. I had many ideas I didn't get to share due to my own procrastination and struggles, but I feel like it's pretty much too late at this point to offer a meaningful contribution to the project like that.

Freedom From Missing Out

I'm a creature of habit. Someone who can easily stick to some silly routine and repeat it to a point of absurdity. From doomscrolling social media and sites in a specific order to log into specific games... In other words, a poor bastard like me is a perfect target for Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) - this stupid feeling where you feel like you "fall behind" or "lose out" if you don't do something as soon as possible or within a day. An obvious example of that could be a "daily reward" in multiplayer and/or mobile game.

Unfortunately, just being aware of this flaw doesn't mean it's easy for you to overcome it. I caught myself in a situation where I keep catching myself being chained to repeating things I don't really enjoy doing anymore or arriving to an obvious conclusion that this is a stupid way to waste my time. This is idiotic, but that's the truth of my situation. As I started to approach my 25th birthday, I started to slowly break free of these chains. Very slowly.

This post is going to serve not only as a retrospective of sorts, but also as a way to reinforce me breaking free from FOMO tricks attached to them. It was a perfect opportunity to revisit this blog since one of its functions has always been to free my mind from things I've been fixated on. I feel inspired and determined, so that must count for something.
