'World of Warcraft Classic' demo has a one-hour time limit

With BlizzCon 2018 kicking off today, attendees and virtual ticket holders will finally get to try out World of Warcraft Classic, a full year after it was first announced. For the uninitiated, that's the massively multiplayer online game in its original form before the expansions altered everything. As part of the launch, Blizzard is laying down some ground rules for those playing at home to cope with high demand, including a 60 minute playtime limit and 90 minute "cooldown" period. Here's how the session restrictions work: If you play for 30 minutes and then log off for 60 minutes, for example, when you come back you'll have a fresh 60 minutes of play time. Alternatively, if you play for 60 minutes, you'll be disconnected and then have to wait 30 minutes before you can play again.
