The clone icon has been grayed out i made a ticket but they cant help me, been told to go to the forums hope blizz see it.

You can come to Era regardless mate.

If Blizzard dont give clone, we’ll make a better clone.

If you love the game, its a matter of just getting back to it

Except they weren’t moved. If you played them at all in Era they would still be there.

Only characters that never played in Era or TBC were moved. So who’s fault is that?

Chill, it’s nobody’s fault. Some people – myself included – just didn’t care for TBC and decided to take a break for a while, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It was a shock to me, too, that my alts are now locked out of Era. Seems fundamentally arbitrary on Blizzard’s part.

I do hope they bring the clone character option back, as I missed the deadline to clone my warlock. I’m certain they won’t though. Oh well.

I am not sure they can for Wrath (but I haven’t seen anybody asking for this, so who cares?), but am pretty sure it should be possible for Era, as clones are still visible there. They closed the cloning service right before the “realm consolidation”. There was propably a reason for that. They created major chaos and maybe anticipated some of it.

That being said, I do hope they bring cloning back for people who missed it, even though I don’t intend to buy one personally.

You do know the Clone would be from May 28th 2021, 14 months ago? It’s not cloning your Era character as it is now.

Yes, I know. But making clones on deleted realms might be a technical problem, who knows? They didn’t even manage to dorcefully transfer existing characters correctly.^^

Yes I wanted to clone the character as it was at level 60, before the game moved onto TBC.

Well i did’t know . I had a break just as TBC hit and did’t chose the character for TBC back then. Some others i did.
I did buy the TBC pack.
But job etc RL forced me to take a long break.
Is that a crime by Blizzard ? I still return if i got options.

clones are still there in classic era (i.e. there are still in the blizzard’s databases), just activating them is disabled.

That’s what I meant. I am pretty sure it should work in that direction. I am just not sure it would still work for characters you activated in Era and want to clone to Wrath now.

ah sorry misunderstood

I had a bunch of vanilla toons which I (stupidly) activated in TBC when it dropped but then never played; now that WotLK (which I hated) is on the horizon I figured I’d go back to those toons in Vanilla, pay to activate the clones and start playing again. Sadly the clone icon is greyed out, the shop is ‘temporarily’ unavailable and Blizz have apparently removed the facility permanently. FFS

Well i did’t activate some of my charaters for TBC so why did they get moved to TBC any way ?

I deaply regret buying TBC 
again and now it is Wotlk ! Which i will never ever play ! Tyvm Blizzard . All characters will just be there for nothing =(

Well my last purchase for any product if this will not be sorted.

Because like 99% of the people that played Classic went on for TBC. Blizz later gave you the choice if you want to play Classic, TBC or both and when you decided for nothing in Blizz eyes it whas that you have generally lost interest on WoW Classic.
And so when with their glorious idea of server closure they had to make a choice they decided WotLK would be sure in nearly all cases the right decicion so they activated for TBC.
They even put on a news on their homepage and so they decided for all those interested in Classic they would have already chosen for it and all those that did not choose would be better with WotLK for when they will return.

Or long story short:
In Blizzards eyes your interest in Classic with those characters that got on neither version activated whas not big enough so you will be surely more interested in the new and interesting WotLK.

Well i did when TBC started
 If any remember there was an option to chose. But they overruled that decition Wile i was away.

Well i do not follow that page at all
 I was away for the time being and i got no mail about this step.

Heh as that may be i am not that happy about it if you unterstand ^^
But basicly they can do anything they want to in their terms of use 
This does not make it right though imho.

They also state when you cancel your subscribtion that when you return to the game things will be as you left the game
this statement does not hold any more now.. So i think they should change that statement =P

I sure just hobe that the option to clone comes back asap ! And if it payed service they apply then fine by me =/ I just want my character back to classic vanila(ERA)

And there I am actually totally with you. The whole Serverclosure itself, what drove them to this decicion, whas a black swann.

Which is why I am still this day to the opinion they should have emailed the whole process as a newsletter anouncement together with a news on the Battle.net Launcher too. Nobody would have expected, they go really this far. And they seemed not ready for it either with that there are still characters missing from the merge.
