From what I read, with chosing an era, either fresh classic or TBC, it got me really sad, cause I interpret this as there will no way to keep playing on Phase 6.
Am I reading this wrong or did they really just destroy the game for us who love the current game? I spent 2000 hours on my Hunter, I would never start over fresh, and I cannot decide whether I will bother with TBC, I am a classic fan after all.
What do you think? Am I the only one who think it’s madness we can’t keep playing on P6 forever with our characters we built over the last 18 months?
Can’t they atleast make ONE P6 never ending server?
“Prior to Burning Crusade Classic’s release, WoW Classic players can decide whether to advance each of their characters to the Burning Crusade era with the rest of their realm, or to continue playing the original WoW Classic content on new Classic Era servers.”
“New Classic Era” servers doesn’t mean fresh servers with wiped progression. Otherwise it wouldn’t really be an alternative to advancing your chars into TBC. “New Classic Era” server, in this context, likely means a new, perma-phase-6 locked server created specifically for players to transfer to instead of progressing to TBC with the rest of their server. Basically, the first option of their original TBC Classic survey
Cant wait till the endless p6 people realise that just like every pserver ever, once the server cycle completes people move on.
It’s just astonishing that people think a server like that will be healthy after a year. The best part is it looks like they are getting what they want too. Just shows you how bad this company are.
And I can guarantee you that they will whine and cry about not having to option to transfer to a TBC server after they decided to transfer to the classic era server.
Well, I guess we will see if Blizzard has a paid service for a transfer to the TBC server from classic Era, but I doubt it.
It doesn’t need to be “healthy” - it just needs to be there so that people have a place to return to if they just want to fool around a bit with their character or something.
There should be some sort of copy allowed for atleast 2-3 characters, minmum one. I want to play my main in tbc, but at the same time it feels like a waste to move it when I invested in all classic enchants / t3 gear etc and want to keep it in classic. Having to reroll the same class seems stupid.
I interpret it as insecurity.
Ppl are afraid that not enough others will follow on the path that they choose. Then they feel a need to try and bash the other option.
Just ignore.
When I think of it I’ve read most of that type of bashing from one of the “sides”.
Perhaps this will sort of segment the players into grownups, young grownups and teenies. All having different views on what WoW is.
Do you truly think so? I suspect there will be paid transfer from “new classic era realm” back to TBC realms right away, and they will make not insignificant profit from it too.
I don’t want to paint myself up in a corner, but I am probably not going to play TBC, so for me it’s Vanilla servers or no WoW.
So how will he be better off - me on a forever-Classic server, and maybe rerolling in TBC later on - or me leaving?
