According to a recent blue post on the WoW Classic forums, Blizzard is monitoring the affect of layering on the economy, leveling and other aspects of the Classic WoW experience. Blizzard has investigated false claims of banks full of rare crafting materials and other inaccurate stories they’ve seen discussed in the community and assure everyone that layering isn’t as much of an issue as some trolls are claiming. Classic WoW is available for adventurers who want to relive the original experience of World of Warcraft in today’s day and age on official Blizzard servers.
Layering is a technique deriving from Sharding which is implemented on World of Warcraft servers by Blizzard. In essence, each server is comprised of several layers. Each layer contains the entirety of the world in WoW. When a character is created, it is automatically assigned to one of these layers and is not able to leave it unless Blizzard deactivates the entire Layering system.

While there is no cross-realm play in WoW Classic, Blizzard have used layering for the game’s launch. Layering separates the server into layers – effectively multiple copies of the world for players to occupy – which the developers felt was necessary for the game’s launch, so that the competition for the limited resources available in each zone for quests and other activities wasn’t too extreme as thousands of players joined simultaneously.

Blizzard is currently working on some tweaks and additional controls to layering to prevent potential future exploits from what they’ve seen so far on Classic WoW. Apparently all realms have a single-digit number of layers, most of which are low single-digits. According to the recent forum post, a popular theory that typing /who in a capital city and comparing results with a friend who does the same thing to determine their current layer has been completely debunked. “That doesn’t work because /who returns results from the entire realm, not just from your layer and if the result set is too large, it truncates the results before sorting them.” So basically, the /who social function is an unreliable way of gauging anything about layering. Classic WoW’s first level 60 was met with controversy as Joker was seen on stream using layering to help quicken the leveling experience and Blizzard was likely monitoring his progression and are working on ways to prevent such exploits in the future.
