Rather than have a few random threads about the upcoming retail Classic servers for WoW strewn across the forum, I'd rather create a megathread, for now, so that all discussion can be kept in one place in hopes of cutting down questions that are, or will be, asked repeatedly in the coming months.
Here's what we know, so far:
_When are Classic servers going to be released?
It was revealed at BlizzCon 2018 that Classic WoW will be released in the summer of 2019. Some have even gone on to speculate that it will be precisely July 16th, 2019, based upon what may have been a hint during the "Restoring History" panel during BlizzCon.
_Will multiboxing be allowed on Classic servers?
We don't know, but based on the demo, it currently works.
_If multiboxing is allowed, do you think they'll allow follow to work in battlegrounds?
We don't know, but that is highly unlikely. In addition, it is assumed that, since they are using the same client, /follow may be disabled when engaged in PvP combat, as it is today in Battle for Azeroth.

Well, that about wraps that up! Feel free to discuss whatever else you'd like about the upcoming retail version of Classic WoW (theorycrafting, class composition, professions, or whatever else), but any links or references to private servers will be removed.
