League of Legends: Uzi let slip that the official team intends to withdraw from the Classic server, reverting the map and champions to retain veteran players. (Part 2)

This isn't a long-awaited return for veteran players. Perhaps after a week or two, they log back into the game only to find everything has changed. In the first match, they can't get back into the swing of things, and deep down, they inexplicably want to go back to the old version. The purpose of logging in is for entertainment. Asking working professionals to spend time learning it in their spare time is a waste of time. League of Legends isn't a hobby or a healthy sport. Playing with friends on weekends is like watching TV series—it's part of daily life.

Uzi accidentally revealed some information about the Classic WoW server.

With only veteran players remaining and failing to attract new blood, nostalgia is your trump card. Forced by circumstances, creating a classic server isn't out of the question. Unexpectedly, the person who leaked the information was retired player Uzi, who let slip during a livestream. He admitted he couldn't say too much, but it should be released soon. Judging from his reaction, the classic server is probably almost complete and ready to launch. There's no news from the gaming community yet. Riot Games has certainly done a good job of keeping things under wraps. How effective it will be remains to be seen.

The nostalgia card won't last long.

The Classic version is a last-minute solution for League of Legends. Some streamers and players, including Uzi, have tested it and found that many older heroes are still fun to play. Sion can even one-shot people with his Q. As for the map, the graphics are hard to predict. Will it go for the pixelated graphics of the old days? Or will it retain the original high-quality graphics? Like a revamped version of a classic console game? If that's the first option, it will probably be difficult to play, with uncomfortable visuals, like a slideshow. The contradiction is that it's precisely because of this effect that it gets the most nostalgia.

After the official announcement, the news will definitely shock the community. Veteran players will return to test it, and it's a sure way to grab the first wave of popularity. However, this is still a delaying tactic. The game's activity level can't be maintained forever by them. The lack of fresh blood is the current problem to be solved. It doesn't have the social binding of Honor of Kings. As players get older, they will return to real life and won't have the energy of college students to play. There were rumors that the animation production was a disaster. Despite its high cost, numerous awards, and high viewership, the final return was just exposure. It seemed like a promotional event, but it didn't attract a large number of new players.
