Yo, so I only ever played the lvl 20 trial during pre cata because my parents would never pay for a subscription to anything.
Once I got a job, cata had basically deleted WotLK so never got a chance to play it.
Now that WotLK Classic is here, would I be better off chancing cata in classic or should I just play the expansion in chromie time?
Cata Classic is a fairly divisive topic in the community, mostly because of the split views of the expansion itself. There’s no guarantee we’ll get one at this point, so if you want to see the content now I’d recommend playing it in retail.
That said, you’ll reach level 60 in retail long before you finish Cata (which is combined with the Vanilla zones in Chromie Time). You could always freeze your level if you really wanted to play through it all without one-shotting everything once you outlevel it, I just wanted to bring it to your attention. Leveling is very quick nowadays.
