I thought that /v/ might like to know that, now, blizzard is letting people make threads on the Classic WoW forums without a sub, and they're also letting starter edition accounts make threads on the Classic WoW forums without a sub
they even let you upvote people's posts, though there fortunately is no downvote feature
so you can make threads on there without paying blizzard a single cent
for those of you who don't know, they announced during blizzcon 2017 that they're ACTUALLY going to make servers for pre-BC WoW, dubbed Classic WoW
all you have to do to post there and such is:
1: make a free blizzard account, you can use a fake name and email and such, as long as you get the e-mail verification done
2: download the WoW free trial's game client
3: make a level 1 guy on some non-full realm and skip the opening cutscene with the esc button
4: quit the game
5: uninstall the game client and b-net app
6: you're ready to post and make threads on the Classic WoW forums all you want, but you can't post or make threads on other parts of the WoW forums, as far as I know
