Selv om det var et stort problem med serverkapasiteten ved lanseringen har World of Warcraft: Classic blitt en stor suksess med en enorm interesse via streams på Mixer og Twitch. Nå avslører game director Ion Hazzikostas via PC Gamer planene for fremtiden:
"I think it's a matter of later this year, I think we can say definitively. Within that timeframe? It's going to depend on a few factors."
En av disse faktorene er "layering", et system for å håndtere alle innstormende spillere. Takket være dette kan serverne håndtere mange flere samtidige spiller da kopier av de samme verdenene skapes. Hazzikostas mener at "without layering, we simply would not have been able to accommodate anywhere close to the number of players we have on our servers" Han fortsetter:
"And with some of the natural attrition that we've seen, we would've had a number of servers right now that are underpopulated. Instead we had servers that were, due to layering, effectively massively overpopulated even with login queues, during the first couple of weeks, that have now stabilized at large, healthy populations that can endure for the months and years to come."
