I wonder if era will get the same patches as Fresh? and when the lifespan of SOM is over, will they then merge them with the current era servers?
Probably not.
SoM has a load of changes different to the current era servers.
Thereâs no end to SoM. When a season ends, a new one begins. Doesnât matter what they do with the lvl 60s because nobody will play them, everybody will start fresh in the new season.
Or at least thatâs my understanding.
However , like in all sports that have seasons, there has to be something that carries over from one season to the next otherwise all your time investment will go to waste and people will lose interest fast.
Stay away with this abomination from my precious ERA lol.
I prefer to play this game as close as possible to original.

I thought they would wipe everything to stop the 60s boosting others, thatâs the essence of Seasonal realms. Maybe have an option to move your 60s to Classic Era but the realms should start fresh.
so era wont get same changes?
Why would you even want this?
None of the devs that created the original classic WoW is still working for Blizzard.
Itâs like adjusting a artpiece in a museum. Because with modern technics it would look better.
Itâs fine if they adjust it but keep the adjustements in a entire other game for example SoM.
Alot of players donât want these changes, for example SoM wonât bring back Progress players, Apes etc⌠The changes are imo all stupid and itâs another quick cash grab.
Something to feed the addictive Andies some Dopamine cus itâs âânewââ
TBH itâs kinda sad cus it will split the ââsmall communityââ thatâs still playing TBC and Classic WoW even more.
Yes thatâs what I meant to say. You level to 60, you clear as many raids as you can and then everything is wiped and you start over from scratch on a fresh new season server.
Iâve been thinking about this though and Iâm afraid that if really nothing carries over from one season to the next players will feel like they totally wasted their time and they wonât return for the next season.
Maybe something real simple like a title or tabard to show that you achieved things in the previous season would help.
Well, for me example, I couldnât participate in Classic two years ago (my life changed way too much at that time) and Iâm planning to do this on SOM instead. What really worries me is that they will just wipe the characters after 12 months. What if I happen to get nice raid gear and then puff itâs gone. Iâm not planning to do mindless power leveling in 12-month-cycles like hamster in a runner. I canât get those items in retail because that game is utter c**p right now. I canât stand that game at all (itâs not the same game anymore with all the time warping Chromie BS).

characters are not wiped in seasonal mode like they are not doing in seasonal mode of diablo 3. After a season ends characters are part of classic era and a new fresh season starts in the new seasonal realms.
Theyâre not going to add them to classic era. SoM has so many changes, that itâs a different game in many ways. If itâs anything like Diablo, theyâll keep the first SoM season as the âpermanentâ, and every season after the characters will end up on the first seasons permanent realm.
kinda doubt it but even if that is the case the point of my previews reply remains the same. Characters are not wiped.
I do agree with you on that, I do not believe that characters will be wiped. I am almost certain they wonât end up on classic era realms though.
On pirate seasonal realms the characters are wiped after the first season ends. Gone forever, and I think thatâs how SoM will work. With a slight, very slight possibility of a transfer to either Era or TBCC.
If you mean private servers, I bet the characters are wiped because they have much more limited resources for running multiple servers for just âdeadâ characters. Blizz on the other hand is doing that already. And at least Blizz is not known for such behavior of deleting characters in WoW, yet. Even though merging servers and having to rename your character comes quite close.
Blizzard have never merged realms. Actually the word pirate fits better than private. Itâs pirate as in copying stuff illegally not long john silver type.
I gave my opinion about SoM realms and what will happen at the end. You are welcome to disagree with it as no one knows yet.
I understand that, but Iâve usually seen the private server term and thus wanted to clarify we are speaking of the same thing.
I took like 2 year brake from WoW and when I came back all of my characters from the realm I used to play, had to be renamed because of the merged (or whatever the correct term was) realm cluster took place and those names were taken already. My characters were named like Charnam123456 when I returned.
No, that was people taking your names after they were inactive for too long, blizzard does not want to lock names indefinitely. They are safe for a period of two expansions I think.
Edit: Blizzard have NEVER merged realms, only connected and that allows you to keep your names.
I see. My mistake on that part then. And yes, it was like 2 expansions or so that took place during the break I had, at least on that server.
No real confirmation on this.
Chances are that weâll likely see them wiped.
They wonât get added to the classic era servers.
SoM has a lot of changes different to classic era.
