We’re not going to have the option to clone our characters and keep them in TBC - all servers will progress to WOTLK. There was an article on IGN about it - Patrick Dawson is the production director who confirmed it in the interview.
Since the start of classic, I always intended to ‘retire’ in WOTLK and live out the rest of my days PvPing, leveling alts, etc., even after the server is fully progressed. We need at least one or two TBC-era servers that people can choose to stay behind on. Can we get an answer by the devs on this. This is waaaaaay more important than all the other changes combined. If i cant stay in WOTLK, there’s no point for me to continue playing. I have zero interest in a SOM style server - I dont want to lose the progress I have made with my characters.
Well, talks about cataclysm isn’t confirmed.
But the reason why infinite TBC era servers isn’t happening is likely due to what happened to forever classic era servers.
They died… and terribly.
Not sure how many remain on them, but it’s a very low number.
If devs played the game at all, they’d know that, between Vanilla, TBC and WotLK, Vanilla is by far in the worst state on the final phase. TBC and especially WotLK have way, way more sustainable “endgames”.
My intentions is to go into WotLK but I would like the option to go back and enjoy TBC and the old content, which is the entire point of classic servers to begin with.
On retail people like you kept saying “you can leave, the rest of us want X” until there were no “rest of us” left to play the game anymore, so I’m sure we should listen to your words of infinite wisdom.
That false dichotomy of what the so-called “rest of us” want doesn’t matter because it is a fallacy. Because you express yourself as if wanting WOTLK means not wanting TBC and vice-versa, or not having TBC is an essential requirement to have WOTLK.
You know, most of the rest of us who want TBC also want WOTLK, and more importantly, the “rest of us” (population: you) will have WOTLK, that won’t change. There has never been about choosing between TBC or WOTLK.
I want Wrath too, but that is no reason to not have TBC Era servers. Surely they could support at least one PvP and one PvE server? Chances are there would be more people on the Era servers if there were no SoM which TBC also won’t be having any time soon.
I´m working on that “perfect” char for WotLK forever since BWL patch. I want to go for more or less all achievements in Wrath, however long it might take.
No interest in Cata at all, no interest in SoM either.
I agree, the motivation to play is zero (!). This is a classic, a museum first of all, and not just a restart of the game in the second round. Unknown where better write to developers - on forum, reddit or twitter. THEY NOT SEE OUR TOPICS AND NOT SEE OUR MESSAGES… Example, why is this forum needed? If our topics and messages not see and not answers… Where all developers and producers? Unknown… Moderators? Too not see this topics.
Yeah, considering how little people actually payed for this service to stay in Classic Era servers and have access to TBC, I don’t think they earned more than $1500 on it.
Yes exactly this. I did not want to pay for clones, I advanced my main to BCC and promoted one of my alts to Era main.Then I deleted the clones tomake room for new, rolled a slew of new alts in BCC, and one in Era. After what I see many did the same (or the other way around - keep one in Era, rest to BCC).
And many plain did not bother playing Era (and a few not BCC) which would probably not have been the case, had the clones been free of charge.
