Launch is almost upon us and a ton of people have been asking repeatedly on the forums wether we will have the option to preserve our characters and keep playing on TBC-ERA and perhaps WOTLK-ERA if it goes through that expansion as well.
I don’t want to spend 1 year in tbc only to have it killed off again or be forced into cataclysm. Especially since Im going to reroll a new race at launch of tbc. It takes away from that short year.
The thing is, we assumed the logical thing last time as well and all those characters and all that work we put in then is all lost, forcefully moved to Cataclysm and I suppose soon into Mist of Pandaria.
And since they refused us era-servers last time, I’m really not expecting it this time around either. Unless they announce what their plans for the servers are.
I’m really not interested in spending a bunch of time building characters if they all will disappear after a year in TBC - again.
