World of Warcraft Classic recently launched a “small-scale” closed beta for a limited number of players ahead of it’s live release worldwide on August 27. Since the beta started, Blizzard has apparently been receiving reports from players who are mistaking features of the classic version of the MMO for bugs. As a result, the studio recently released a “not-a-bug” list to clear up any misconceptions. The legacy server reverts WoW back to the 1.12 version that originally launched in 2004. To be true to how it was back then, the studio has reproduced everything the older version had to offer, including inconsistencies - which has evidently lead some players to believe it's buggy.
The developer has even deliberately reproduced some inconsistencies from WoW 1.12, such as NPCs that offer multiple quests displaying them either as a dot or a exclamation mark in your quest list. "They were inconsistent in 1.12, and we’ve reproduced the exact inconsistency they had back then," Blizzard said. Creature respawn rates are much slower than in Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard said, and feared players and NPCs run fast—both are working as planned. Icons are one of the main points of contention: WoW Classic does not display an exclamation mark for available quests on the minimap, and quests that are too low level do not show up as an exclamation mark in the game world. Players have flagged both. In addition,

The Blood Plague was, by miracle of modern medicine, eradicated in of patch 1.12. But some anti-vaxxers still want to see it come back like the measles. Den of Geek reported this week that Brian Birmingham, WoW Classic’s lead software engineer, acknowledged that it had come up in internal discussions. “We all had a good laugh about that experience,” Birmingham told Den of Geek. “I don’t have any plans to announce today, but it’s certainly something we thought was an amusing idea.” This, of course, has all become lighthearted git-gud fodder for WoW graybeards to school the younglings. “WELCOME TO CLASSIC, KIDS!” said Ashbringër. “THIS AIN’T YOUR BABY [Battle for Azeroth] SHENANIGANS. YOU GONNA BLEED AND YOU GONNA LIKE IT!!”
