What a joke, Blizzard.

A ridiculous amount of money for what it is. Wanted to clone multiple characters, now I’m debating whether to even do one.

It is a typical Blizzard scam. Bobby No-D*ck needs another yacht…

Scummy move.
But on a personal level don’t care, wasn’t gonna use the cloning anyway, 1€ or 35€.

Boosting… Expensive clone prices… Deluxe editions… Welcome to World of Actiblizz… we need your damn money… Ashl*… Really this is the height for me after Warcraft 3 Reforged. You just can’t trust Blizzard anymore… and any WoW Ultra who doesn’t realise what’s happening… you have my condolences.

i wnet my clone as monument to my clasic journy but 35 E? too much alsoo if thy insist on those in game mount i just stay classic

35 dollars (probably will be 30 euros in EU) is astronomical and utterly disgusting.

What can you do though. They have a bunch of babies defending them for every decision that they take.

20 euros would have been somewhat ok. 35? Such a greedy move, and it will harm classic era servers forever. Many players will feel forced to only play one version of the game now and this will reduce the amount of players on both sides, splitting up the community even more drastically now.

Just cancel the sub, nothing to wait here anymore. Thanks for the good memories with WC3 and old WoW and thanks for the art team, I really appreciate it. However, Blizzard is lost its identity forever, I’m really sorry about that. Best of luck. :money_mouth_face: :nauseated_face:

it’s a ransomware on your characters and blizzard knows it (on something that can be done infinitely on the PTR which further proves that it’s just a blatant cash grab)

Welcome to World of Warcraft Forums — thanks for contributing!

  • Does your reply improve the conversation in some way?

    I don´t like the amount of real life money we need to pay for a simple character clone!!

  • Be kind to your fellow community members.

    I follow my fellow cummunity members´ on this matter and applaud them for voicing their opinion.

  • Constructive criticism is welcome, but criticize ideas, not people.

    Paying 35euro for a simple clone your character to also keep it on a classic server is just outrages! TBH for all the support WE classic players have givin in terms of money to play your oldest game again you should give 1 transfer for FREE to all accounts still active!!!

Hope this was a good contribution seeing I followed Blizzard´s guidelines…

Also Blizzard, I give you a big F*** You. Pieces of Sh*t.

what did you all expect. It’s activison.

We really need to stop calling them blizzard. That company ceased to exist years ago. They hardly have any of the original staff nor original goals and ethos.

‘Gameplay first’?

hah, that went out the window with Wrath.

Price is outrageous.

No fresh servers, nothing to deal with the massive population that will come to the existing server, no serious bugfixing, no action to fix population or faction imbalance across servers.
But when it comes to selling overpriced services that could be done by a click and a script, here you can count on a massive effort !

I’m so done with Blizzard once I’ll have my fill of BC Classic and probably a bit of WotLK Classic.

Why don’t you all just skip the cloning and make new characters on Classic and re-live your journey again? If nobody clones them over (which I doubt), you’ll almost have “fresh”. :wink:

Is there a source of this price info? I couldn’t see it mentioned and wanted to try and check what it would be in £GBP and to confirm the info is real too ofc!

I guess they only want very few people on playing on the Classic Era servers.
With 10 chars on my account, I have definitely dropped that now.
It cost almost the same copying 1 char as it does buying a new game.
Absolutely greedy beyond anything I have seen before :frowning:
But they are definitely doing a good job pushing people back to the private servers if that’s their goal.

" Players who wish to experience the best of both worlds will be able to use the optional character cloning service (available May 18, $35 per character), which will allow them to continue playing a copy of an existing character on a Classic Era realm while also advancing into Burning Crusade Classic "

Missed opportunity that they didn’t add 1 free clone to the deluxe package tbh
