It does feel a bit like that, but this is what they said:
Many of us are still waiting on them to deliver this, and fresh is not a solution to population issues on existing era realms.

Hehe, they lied again and wonāt do anything about it unless thereās more money to steal from their naive customers.
Classic era would have been vastly more popular if we could have played our characters on both classic and tbc without paying extra
Shills love to give the excuse that it costs server space to host these characters (that, sure, may go unplayed) but do they forget that Blizzard is a BILLION dollar company not some small games studio
Blizzard made enough money over classic with subs (they might say it was free because we actually pay for retail but donāt believe it, a lot of people wouldnāt sub without classic) plus donāt forget realm transfers over 2 years with very little in the way of customer support
The fact they were originally going to charge double the current price for the clone shows you the extent of their greed
If they made the character copy free and merged all realms into 1 of each type classic era wouldnāt be in the state it is today

People keep repeating this but one of each type is not good enough. Iāve been saying since before tbc launch that the pve horde population would not be large enough to be viable and thatās turned out to be true. We need a single server we are all able to transfer to for free.
True, one can only speculate until a blue informs us. Based on previous choices done by blizzard, I personally doubt anything else than a few new fresh servers identical to what we had.
Small job and potentially huge profits.

If people really wanted to play era, 15ā¬ cant really be an obstacle. People pay 50ā¬+ for the new games they never seen and you are telling 15ā¬ is too much for the game they love?
Think it is time for some to accept that players just dont want era WoW anymore. It is consumed and thats it.
Well for many of us itās not 15ā¬ times 1 but 15ā¬ times many, and I at least have not got that kind of money for a computer game. If clones were free, Iād play much more. Not much more Classic Era or much more TBCC, but more of both, because I had to start over with many of my alts, and thatās putting me off.

Hordies have mainly migrated to TBCC, yes thatās true. But making one server only would either make PvEāers happy, or PvPāers happy and no way would you make the RPers happy, so you would end up with many either only playing TBCC or stopping altogether.
3 Era servers are a must.
you want free gear on fresh server ??? lmaoā¦
The current approach makes nobody happy since thereās not enough population to raid. If not merges, then at least allow free transfers including between pve and pvp. This will probably result in one pvp server for horde and one pve server for alliance, which is worse for everybody than a single pve server, but better than the current system.
Itās nothing to do with the money, many people could afford to but why should we pay extra to play our own characters on both era and tbc
Multi billion dollar company couldnāt throw us one bone in good faith and would rather have dead museum servers as a result
The state of era has no reflection on fresh, whilst it wonāt be as many as 2019 a lot of people do want to play vanilla only but not one thatās progressed

If it has nothing to do with money, why were you keep mentioning money and playing for free?
Blizzard is not welfare company nor private server holders, they exist for making money.
Do you really have to play all your alts? Pick one or two and goā¦
I really think Blizzard was generous enough with allowing for Classic era to even exist beside tbcc. And it exists for pretty low one-time fee.
And if any player wishes, he can play all three versions of the game for single subscription fee. If that is not generous, I dont know what is, how could anyone ask for even more.
Thatās the way I play, thatās how I have fun so Yes I have to!.
- I only began playing Classic because Blizz promised the Era servers would stay forever - like a museum piece.
- Iād gladly pay my sub for Classic alone, as thatās actually what I do. I made this account for Classic, levelede one toon to 10, to get access to Forums and havenāt touched him (or Retail) since. TBCC is an extra for me

Did I lie about anything?
Itās nothing to do with money because itās a matter of principle to most non-Blizzard shills, you might like getting milked for every cent but most of us could see that charging players to play their characters on both era and tbc was just a greedy move
Short term profits over the long term health of the game is why the company will continue to decline

Milked? They are providing a game and server, we are paying.
Simple service delivered-payment business, works in whole world.
If feeling milked, why are you still here?

Your problem is, that thereās not enough Horde in Classic Era to raid, Allyside thereās raiding happening on the PvE cluster. Horde - who obviously love PvP more than Ally - went to TBCC in bigger numbers.
At any given time level 60 Alliance players outnumber Horde on a 2:1 ratio and more on all realms together, itās worse on PvE and better on PvP.
You canāt help that by merging servers - especially not by making one PvE server, which the Horde - being more PvP inclined, would not like to play on.
For test of my theory (which this admittedly is, as Iāve only checked the numbers once every 2-3 days with the in-game /who) try doing BGās. They are for all realms already.
