$35 is a good thing, here's why

Or you know if you wanted fresh servers you could advocate them rather than rationalizing why blizzard is charging you for a service which should logically be free. As for me I have character I will use in tbc and character to keep in classic so I planned around blizzards thing.

its $35 to clone char into tbc? that sux

its $35 to clone char into tbc? that sux

The most genuine and common answer from average players about the issue. You’re going to pay the money and Blizzard knows it. Sucks

I think the only people that are going to send their classic chars to classic era and roll fresh in TBC are people rolling Blood Elves or Dranei.

I assume they’d want to send their gold to their new chars though and you’d have to pick TBC first, so you’d still be forced to clone anyways.

I don’t believe that anyone would rather roll fresh and spend 1-2 months levelling instead of just paying $35 though.

So the majority of people will be continuing onto TBC with some wanting to clone in Classic. Spending $35 to clone your character will make most people want to say F$%# it and just

A- Keep their character in Classic and roll fresh in TBC
B - Not bother to spend the $35 to clone and reroll in Classic again

Both Classic and TBC will therefore, have their Fresh new Servers, Thanks BLizz

I am happy its $35 although it should be more. like $65

Bobby, is that you?

Some people don’t have $35 to spend. I’m sending my hunter over to classic servers, not because I’m rerolling because I want a class I enjoy that’s not geared out yet on a classic server.

There are many reasons people would want to clone and quite a few reasons people would be unhappy with spending $35.

all those words just to try n sneak your FRESH agenda?
bait/10

35 per toon is ridiculous, it should be 50 for all ten. So I am leaving 5 in classic and moving 5 to TBC.

That doesn’t make any sense- if they wanted fewer servers, they know full well that few players will clone back to classic, so they could just say they’re bringing out 4-6 classic forever servers and if you clone you pick the one you want to be on.

THEY are the ones who decided on their own that they had to have a copy of every single server in both era, likely to try to milk xfers from people who paid to clone to their own server and find it dead, knowing they already got shafted for the clone they’ll pay again for xfers.

They easily could have had this be like PTR, just have the clone be to limited realms, and since it’s a service they already do for free they could have greatly reduced the price.

Instead, it’s $35 to dead servers and then you have to pay to xfer to. They’re using well known deceptive marketing tactics to squeeze whales for money- it may be legal so the shills can be happy about that, but it’s also something that companies rightfully get major bad press for doing. Add to that the ultra short prepatch and the boosts- sorry, the ‘dark portal pass’, named that way intentionally to mislead people into thinking it’s something other than just what it is, a boost.

The cash shop for classic is going to look disgusting by the end of WotLK.

How does any online multi-player game make money these days? In-game stores.

Retail has made more money from the in-game store than subs for years. What rose-colored utopia are people living in thinking it will be any different, or that Blizzard would even care about the complaints here? If people don’t like the business model then let your wallet do the talking and move on from WoW


Most people are fine with paying something for the service. Almost all of the comments are just about the price. People will be doing the talking with their wallets. Most just say to their guildies etc “Yeah that’s too much to pay” and that’s that.

You clearly aren’t the target audience Kati you already said that here. You don’t understand why people would want to stay in Classic Era at all. So really since you don’t even get it your opinion on it isn’t even relevant to anything.
