It makes sense, I was just of quoting their lead dev when he said it’s not entirely clear how they’re going to handle it. He even said “Maybe we decide we really like some runes and decide to keep them in Era”. It was in Scottyj’s interview, don’t have the link handy
I think it would be best if SOD got moved onto Classic+, or Classic Era of Discovery or something like that
We know it will take more than a year - they confirmed that. But is it two years or 18 months? No one knows.
Forced ? You are not forced to do anything my guy , just most of the players are playing SOD now and u happen to be the minority. What are u actually asking here ? How can Blizzard make ppl plqy more era so u dont feel like its dead ? I understand you feel bad cause what you like and love is almost empty but i dont see how can anyone can help make servers full so u can enjoy. ERA is 5+ years old my guy … and even if they release fresh era it will not change much , will be the same amount of players that play it now and few that are not playing it cause inflation will join and still feel empty. I personally dont feel like quit on potential classic plus with arenas or raids after nax to get back to 5 years of era…
YUCK!!!
I was quoting their lead dev in an interview
I know, I can read! Makes it not better!
No runes in Era. Thanks!
I have no power to grant you that wish, but for what it’s worth I want the same. I want Era of Discovery
They could just remove the non era abilities and swap any items out for era equivalents. For example, some level 25 leather blue boots just gets converted to feet of the lynx. Really wouldn’t be hard for them to do.
They could but they won’t do it. Clone character complains about transferring chars from tbc and wrath back to era with lvl 60 and corresponding abilities and items proved it
Raids, world bosses, dungeon groups and pvp premades are going strong on a weekly basis.
I don’t know your definition of, “dead”… but Era isn’t dead at all.
Doesn’t feel dead to me
Era is inmortal. It never died, it’s not dead, and it will never die.
I stayed in Era from day one when most people left to TBC. By that point in may 2021 i had 9 lvl 60s, one of each class. 8 on alliance and a second account with a shaman. I’ve been playing it this whole time. By february 2022 i had 16 lvl 60s, one of each class on both factions, one account with 8 ally and the other account with 8 horde.
Now 16k hours into the game, I have 18 lvl 60s characters with no boosts. i’m currently leveling 14 characters, 11 of them lvl 39, and 3 lvl 38s. I play each character once every two weeks, i’m on the road to 32 lvl 60s, probably sometime in late 2024 or 2025. I wanna have 1 character of each class on both factions on 2 accounts, so that i can duobox any combination of any 2 clases. I never buy or sell mage boosts, i don’t even mage boost my own chars much, cause what i like about the game is questing in the open world. I’ve never joined a GDKP raid in era, and I never will. I’ve geared all my chars entirely out of SR runs, and i currently have 10 characters 8/8 T2, 17 characters with T2 helms, 13 exalted brood. I don’t do Naxx much because i farm and craft all my consumes myself, so i prefer to focus on leveling, and casually go do MCs-BWLs and AQ40s.
I didn’t play TBC, Wotlk, SoM, HC, not playing SoD, won’t play Cata. I will stay on Era even if i’m the only player in the server.
The only thing i want is that SoD characters go to their own Discovery Era server after their season ends, or just simply turn them into permanent server.
SoM characters were very similar to Era characters, they just had an accelereted progression speed, so they got integrated quite seamlessly. SoD characeters are very different (rune system, new gear).
I’d like to play the closest thing to 1.12 that Blizzard can offer me for the rest of my life. If i could i would remove chronoboons, go back to the old pvp system, ect. but whats done is done, and i understand that there are other players who play with me who like these things.
Anyway, I’m happy for the hype chasers getting SoD, don’t get me wrong, i’m not hating on it, it’s really fun to watch it on streams and it’s a good thing that the general crowd can get to enjoy it, but i’m a vanilla purist, I have no interest in playing SoD myself, and I would like to keep all those funky experiments ot of my game, thank you very much.
“funky Experiments”…“my Game”…btw why do you comment with some random Char, Just Show urself. I think after 20 years some people want new stuff , a fresh breeze. If you enjoy to Play forever 1 Game do it. But dont call other Things funky and stuff. Sorry to say it but Hardcore Vanilla racists are a minority. I dont know If Its cost worty in the Long Run for blizz to keep These Servers going for a Lifetime, because,and im sorry to say that, you Guys are realy the minority. At some Point you need to get over your anxiety and Ego and try new stuff, Changes, because Who knows how Long blizz keep era going. Classic plus is the Future, It is what it is. You cant live in the past forever, the glory Times are gone, Its Just nostalgia copium, this time will never come Back! At some Point we have to Accept that
We all know who Jay is on Era Firemaw, no need for him to post on one of his many alts.
Unlike you, he’s more than happy for YOU to enjoy yourself, but it seems you are not so generous. Makes no difference to you at all that era exists, but here you are in your badly written paragraph trying to preach and belittle and even going so low as to use the word “racist”? What a dysfunctional take to use that word at all. Yours is such a myopic reply to his post but quite a lot of Era enthusiasts would mostly agree with him (I like Chronoboons for example so Im not completely on board with what he said)
Yea ofcourse thats why He is calling us “Hype chasers” 
, you guys are obsessed with Vanilla thats why i call you Vanilla racists, every other thing is wrong and funky and an Experiment. Im Just tried of u Hardcore Vanilla purists talking every new stuff down, Its depressing. I did say enjoy whatever u want to. But imo Who knows for how Long they keep era going
Purists is such a better word! I much prefer that 
he is right tho. i wouldn’t claim it as racism but to say everything what comes after classic is bad is objectively wrong.
No, nothing objective about this. It is matter of opinion.
I think that almost every thing after Wrath is bad. There are of course a fun Quest here, a good boss there, a witty remark and memerable vista, but generally speaking FOR ME WoW after Wrath is bad.
I loved the Cata levelling, and especially the underwater zone was nice (I know, I am probably alone with that one).
But once you hit 85 everything went downhill and I quit Cata shortly after Firelands was released.
Some of zones are nice, yes - in all xpansions. But I hated (still hate) the fast levelling, the ‘locked behind specs’ abilities, the Runes / holy thingies / whatever … hanging from Health/mana bars. And I hated the missing things, bullets, feed pet, ingredients for campfire … I think WoW became a ‘served on silver platter’ game with Cata. I played mostly IronMan after Cata, until scaling and shared kills ruin this too.
And don’t ge me started Ach and Account shared things!!!
