This argument is a good one however there are a couple counter points that need to be made.
Saying that all players that didn’t play Classic and want to play TBC will just pick any existing server feels disingenuous. I have seen and talked to several people that are only interested in playing if there are fresh servers. You can say they will play any way, but that is yet to be seen.
with regard to dead servers, Blizzard has already shown they are ok with this situation. One, they are creating copies of all servers for Classic, many of these servers are destined to fade. Two, Blizzard has already suggested they will add their connected-realms tech to classic servers.
Either way, you are right, if there isn’t enough financial incentive for Blizzard to do it, they probably won’t do it.
Careful, you quoted the entire response rather than truncating it to fit your argument…
Truth and accuracy are not exactly welcome on the forums. You have been warned.
Oh, you didn’t know? Apparently there are several people on the forums who have direct contact with Blizzard’s decision making processes and have been authorized by Blizzard to represent their interests here on the forums. I have met many of them recently. I say “recently” as they all seem to have only joined the Classic WoW forums within the past few days to represent Blizzard and their interests.
The ‘no fresh TBC servers’ nonsense some trolls are spewing is a perfect example of how these forums function. Someone makes something up, someone else repeats it, repeat the process…and now it’s accepted as fact.
The truth is they weren’t even asked about fresh TBC servers. They were asked about fresh Classic servers. And all they said was not at the time TBC launches, but they have their eye on that and will discuss it after launch.
The fact they’re even open to the possibility of fresh Classic servers…when existing Classic servers will be ghost towns after the TBC exodus…leads me to believe it’s extremely likely fresh TBC servers will be made. The least populated TBC server will be more active than the most popular Classic server.
Yeah, I was just reminded for a second of every time I got quoted out of context or my quote was truncated and then used as an argument against me. It’s one of the strategies that the Republican Party uses all the time and I always have to laugh at what a difference just leaving a few words out of someone’s quote can make.
Unfortunately, some concepts cannot be fully articulated with just a few monosyllabic words and actually require a more verbose statement. I tried many years ago to attempt to accommodate most forum users with small, easy to understand words and statements but just found that I couldn’t adequately state my position by limiting my options like that.
LOL. Quoting posts from Blizzard? That’s your defense for your Wall of No days? Never change. But I don’t have to tell you that, since you haven’t and you never will.
It’s just unfortunate Blizz wiped the forums and we can’t link to your posts anymore where you ridiculed and insulted anyone who asked for Vanilla realms. Yet here you are all these years later. Doing the same thing, just from a different angle.
First of all, it’s not being taken out of context, when you don’t clarify what you mean. Second of all, when you make a statement, but if your context is weak supporting said statement then just take a step back and reframe your argument better. If you’re so bent out of shame that your original wording is poor to blame your oppotent for not framing your words right, that’s on you. It’s OK to misspeak and rework your angle. Happens all the time.
The best part for this classic was leveling 1-60. Then from the beginning of MC raid, it’s becoming boring for the nerfed content. I do feel blizz doesn’t care classic anymore. Just revenue stock price.
