Summary
AWorld of Warcraft Classicplayer recently tried to play the game with nearly every available addon installed at the same time. This fan discovered that, whileWorld of Warcraft Classiccan technically be played with 3,683 addons, it is extremely difficult to actually accomplish anything while doing so.
Addons are community-crafted plugins and mods that players can optionally install into theirWorld of Warcraftclients to improve their games in some way. From core plugins like Deadly Boss Mods and WeakAuras to roleplaying tools like Total RP 3 and Immersion, there are thousands ofaddons for both modern andClassic World of Warcraft.
However, oneWorld of Warcraftfan recently answered a question few may have realized that they had: what happens when one installs every mod at once? Using CurseForge, the third-party program used by games likeWoWto handle addons,World of Warcraftplayer and content creator Baltoboulbobbi installed as manyWoW Classicaddons as possible and attempted to play. After three hours of installation time, and five minutes on the loading screen, their game roared into a cacophony of sounds and a smattering of windows and popups that completely blocked out their screen. After finally finding the actual game, their attempts to battle enemies, level up, and complete quests were met with a bizarre and comedic chorus of memes, voice-overs, and other absurd sounds.
Playing World of Warcraft Classic With 3,683 Addons
Hilariously, Baltoboulbobbi couldn’t actually install every singleaddon in theirWorld of Warcraft Classicgame. They had to remove eight of the heaviest mods, as they would have overloaded their 16GB RAM limit otherwise. Additionally, 12 of the addons actively preventedWorld of Warcraftfrom loading while installed. What’s more, in the time since they made this video on Jun 23, 2025, over 100 more addons have been added toWoW Classicon CurseForge.
Needless to say, fans got a kick out of Baltoboulbobbi’s absurd experiment. The overlapping sound effects in combat and on level up, includingJohn Cena’s iconic theme song, “You May Now Drink” low mana warning, and sudden French text-to-speech, were some of the mods that evoked the most laughs in the community. XBICYCLEx, the author of BirdFacts – one of the many addons seen in the video – even expressed their delight at having their creation appear in the silly experiment.
Baltoboulbobbi said they would do aWoW ClassicHardcore run with all of these addons installed if the video got over 20,000 views. It proceeded to more than quintuple that amount, prompting them to make good on their promise. As of their latest video, they have reached level 14 ontheir HardcoreWorld of Warcraft Classiccharacterwith 3,679 addons still installed, so players will have to see how far they can go with this incredibly unique challenge.
