No it is not the same go play Vanilla in retail not in classic for PvP.
Now go play TBC on retail. Again PvP. Get one shot by 120’s nope not the same as playing TBC on a TBC server.
Here goes my wall of text players sorry I have to.
Ion himself said that they would release tbc servers depending on how well classic did. he also said that classic servers were going to go up and stay up. even if they became ghost towns.
With that said I believe Classic did do better than Blizzard expected.
How many more players came back to play Classic? I lot more than both of us know.
How many more will come back to play the other xpacs? A lot more than you can think of.
How much more money will Blizzard make? A lot more than you think.
I started playing in TBC unsub all my accounts right before MoP.
I have been playing on private servers for four years now.
When I heard about Classic a little over a year ago that was all the talk about playing Classic. Than all the talk was about if Blizzard would do a Wrath and on how many would come back.
One month before Classic was released I resub two accounts and bought a new one. I know I am not the only one.
I came back to play Classic, staying to play Wrath. With that said I will unsub and go play Wrath some where else.
I would prefer to play Wrath on a Blizzard server. Not as buggy and no work arounds, no wintrade, no bots ect. Blizzard knows all the code where the private servers do not.
All the returning players including me knew about the shut off xp. So why did we not come back sooner, we could do the same for Classic right?
What that is right not the same game.
But it is the same game for all other expansions right?
What population loss, more of a population gain.
That isn’t a question.
That’s them saying “Yeah we could go that way if we wanted to”
And then saying “we will do that if that’s what the community wants”.
…and then people get upset when the community says “yeah, we’d like that.”

You realize the forum is a mix of every single person playing the game right? You will always have the next group to want something. Welcome to the internet.

Not all people
And
Most of those requests seem to be coming from retail nags, or weirdos rooting against Classic. Yes anyone who roots against more gaming options are weirdos by definition. Its like rooting against perfect weather, just to be that weirdo.

Tbc i would agree with. Wrath id say is a side grade.
Two months? We’re barely over 1 month.

But their trick is:
“People say but I say…”
Or
“People want _______, so now what…?”
Or
“Sources say that Classic is…”
How about not using or falling for these ridiculous claims and threads people?
People have the attention span of a gnat. It’s sad. Hopefully Blizzard won’t listen to them and give Classic the 2-3 years its fans deserve. TBC and other xpacs will still be there in a few years, and they will make more money in the long run if they give Classic its full lifespan.

I don’t see a problem with people asking for TBC and WotLK servers. In fact, it’s to be expected with Classic’s huge success. Even Blizzard said that depending on how well Classic does, they’ll possibly create expansion servers, that it’s easier now with today’s tech.
I’m enjoying the hell out of Classic and will for many months, but I hope TBC and WotLK fans also get their own servers a few years down the road to enjoy. They would be as successful as Classic has been. I know I would play on them and so would many others. Expansion servers wouldn’t pose any threat to Classic.
It’s hypocritical to deny other players their favorite version of the game just because we got Classic. It would be no better than certain Retail players with all the Wall of No posts.

Judging from what we’ve seen so far from Blizzard, they seem to be pretty committed to Classic for the long haul. They were true to their word and are getting rid of layering, and it will be some time before we see Phase 2. It really seems that they are listening to all the feedback so far.
Not allowed per blizzard anymore.
Too much fun was detected so it’s no longer an option.
Also retail as a whole is a mess.
The items the hit points the damage it’s all busted anyway
I completely understand. I’m all for TBC servers… in 2-3 years. But let Classic have its lifespan first.
I agree. I don’t want them to rush anything. So far, we seem to be OK. fingers crossed
Preach. I am having fun in Classic, but I’m not playing Classic for Classic. I’m just getting my toons all ready over the next couple years for BC servers.

Why are we playing Classic then?
All we have to do is lock the character at 60 according to your logic.
