Asmongold proves Blizzard didn’t fix WoW bug live on stream
The Burning Crusade expansion for World of Warcraft Classic doesn’t technically come out for a few more days, but Twitch streamer Asmongold has already caught Blizzard slipping.TBC Classic, as this remake is known, won’t be out until June 1 officially, but plenty of people are already playing away in the pre-launch patch, getting everything ready for release day.A particularly odd bug has been popping up that allows players to invite those from different realms to join their group. Blizzard has clarified it was a glitch, not a feature, but their claim of it being fixed might have come a little too soon.
“Blizzard confirms Burning Crusade cross-realm grouping is a bug. There was a bug in Burning Crusade that made it possible to invite player characters from other realms. This bug was fixed several hours ago,'” Asmon said, reading Blizzard’s latest announcement on the expansion reboot. “Can somebody from another realm whisper me?” Sure enough, in a matter of seconds Asmon had tons of whispers coming in from players. Picking the first one, he shot them a group invite, and, sure enough, they were able to join the streamer’s party, even though he was in a different realm.
After being called out by Asmongold and we assume countless other WoW players, Blizzard devs did throw in an update to clarify that the bug was indeed still very active, and hadn’t been fixed yet, adding once and for all: “Cross-realm is not intended.”
