A throwaway account claims a Classic+ playtest with specifics. Specifics are cheap before BlizzCon. Read flagged.
TL;DR
MMO-C throwaway (1 post, Sep 2026 account, AI-typed bullets): DK class, mage healers, paladins both factions, 40-man raids, Ogres/High Elves, Tinker tease, WC3-era Arthas story, retail UI. Replies split fake vs believe. Zero verification.
The claims
- Internal name "WoW Immortal" (Diablo Immortal artwork "+" tease cited).
- Death Knights as Warlock/Warrior hybrid, SoD warlock-tank lineage.
- Ground mounts reworked (flying avoided for Outland elevation).
- 40-player raids launching at 40, maybe 20 later. Class QoL (water tables, buff distribution built in).
- Mage healing scaling off DPS gear. Paladins both factions, two visual flavors via class quest.
- Story from WC3 era, Arthas Alliance lead, Thrall Horde lead, "surprises" vs faction imbalance. Ogres Horde, High Elves Alliance (also Retail). Tinker teased via Goblin sighting.
- Raids rebuilt with modern tech, retail UI tech ported with toggles, expanded continents (Lordaeron, Dalaran, changed Caverns of Time), Northrend later with Kel'Thuzad.
- Achievements, dungeon maps, AtlasLoot-style DB, new graphics with toggle.
The flags
- Throwaway account, first and only post. Admits AI wrote the sentences.
- No screenshots, builds, dates, locations. "HQ visit" uncheckable.
- Replies: "fake as fuck" (40-mans dead) vs "friend of a friend" believers. No middle evidence.
- Convenient timing: 4 days pre-BlizzCon, maximum attention, zero cost to poster.
What it means
Treat as wishlist with insider grammar. Several claims rhyme with real threads (SoD warlock tanks, Caverns changes, Arthas focus, UI modernization) — rhyming is what good fakes do. Saturday settles all of it.
What's next
BlizzCon stage confirms or kills per-item. This post updates to scorecard after.
