As you may well see in my membership details, I have been playing wow since 2004. I tasted vanilla, TBC, wotlk and almost all expansions in the game history. TBC was the most satisfactory expansion for me with its in-game challenges, character skills, dungeon/map atmosphere, and other several specialities.
Nowadays I came back to the game, tasted Wotlk again while doing a couple of Ulduar runs and stopped again. Farming Naxx in the classic-era is much better than any dungeon in wotlk. But if you bring a fresh TBC Classic, I am absolutely sure that members from Classic-Era and Wotlk will swap into TBC Classic. I do not know the others but, you can be sure that I am not going to play Cataclysm classic.
As a conclusion, you should absolutely consider bringing a fresh TBC Classic. This is mandatory for your business and the satisfaction of your members. The time of it depends on your strategy. My suggestion is calling it 20 weeks after the release of ICC in wotlk.
Only one thing I disagree with here. Your title. Should have been: āI want Fresh The Burning Crusade serverā. Or maybe better: āI want Burning Crusade server! What about you?ā
You should no try speak for all, if I agree I cone to say so, and I do in this case:
Give Burning Crusade Era server!
I disagree with that. TBC was not an easy expansion, thats why I like it. There were attunements, challenges, hard quests etcā¦ You had to type on LFG chat to create a party. I do not like an automated system to create a party. Leveling was also very satisfactory for me. I leveled my characters with dungeon farming. And the dungeons were not easy as well, especially the heroic versions. That is why TBC was the best. If you would like to prefer an easy game, I suggest you to play retail. Thank you.
I am for letting peolple play what they want. Maybe not many would play BC classic, but why not let them?
If you not like, not go there - easy solution.
I have to say, playing Vanilla was incredible and then stepping into Hellfire Peninsula was mind blowing. Brilliant zone! Fond memories. The entire aesthetic of the place was very satisfying. Shame that such work is not accessible, guys worked hard to create that.
Why not show it off?
I used to just pan up and explore the sky there. Reeally cool.
Kharazan was piece of cake, easier than some heroics, that people strait up skipped after doing a few easier ones like slave pens, ramps, e.t.c.
TK had this loot reaver and SSC was a bit fun especially Morogrim. KaelāThas and Lady Vashj pre nerf were Ulduar HM type of bosses.
Then came the facepalm MH and BT that guilds cleared in the first week. Only Illidan made some resistance, mostly in form of not dropping glavies.
Do not make me started on ZA it was so short, yet people kept gatekeeping alts from it because of bear mount drop.
And Sunwell, well well well. If you had buffs meta composition 2 CoH 2-3 resto shamans you pretty much muncherd throughout all bosses untill Muuru, that was only the gear check for a while, then you had to pay some attention with KJ spamming meteors, add spawns and shield management and that was it.
The whole TBC lasted year and a half, a short expansion with noticeable tier sets and toxic colored offset clown mismatching gear. I do not find myself sitting in it longer than that anyway.
Ulduar was better served than most TBC tuning, however it lacked proper loot distribution as guild disenchanted all of 232ilvl gear since 10th week. Blizzard needed to exclude 232 gear drops in phase 3, so that when HM requirements of the kill are met so the boss would only drop 252 gear from him/her/itās loot table.
This topic is not about comparing Ulduar and TBC dungeons. It is about requesting a TBC server from Blizzard. The rest of your explanations are individual thoughts and I do not agree with the TBC part. I can give you several reasons for that but it is not important. Thank you anyway.
I would like to hear out thouse reasons, because there is little to no proof TBC Era is needed. I see why Classic Era has some of the attention from Devs, but TBC feels as transitional expansion that just ended less than a year ago. I donāt get why fresh belivers think that now is the time to reboot TBC.
Itās a gaming- memory that stays with me forever.
People ask for it, thatās reason enough. If you canāt understand others like TBC because you donāt, well thatās on you. Itās called an opinion. Iāve seen āwe want TBC backā threads pop up a lot lately, which means TBC has a following. I stopped playing wrath classic because of various reasons but TBC remains my fav expansion to have re-lived and Iām still a bit angry they rushed it and then didnāt give us TBC Era.
Itās not. After Wrath Classic has run itās course (so 5 months after ICC) is the time to reboot Classic, including a return to TBC.
EDIT: After the player dropoff in wrath Iām not even so sure weāll see Cata Classic, so a reboot after enough time has passed is the only logical thing to do imo.
What many do not comprehend TBCC was like that, because progression players kept it going, rather than degrading like Classic SoM1 mostly did at the same time, that was also full of fresh belivers. Being the least popular of 3 Classics TBC fresh would had lasted even less than SoM1.
And?
If only some players want play there, let them. Maybe later it would become more like Era too? I too would visit now and again.
If you not like, not play there. Why should other not be allowed to have fun the way they like?
