A Formal Request Thread for Fresh/New TBC Servers

Based off of the many changes that the Beta is going through, I am not sure at this point that Blizzard really has any idea what they want The Burning Crusade Classic to be.

Other than heavily monetized, of course… :wink:

So, we may not get a response to this request for quite some time until they actually figure out what the game is going to look like on their end.

Thanks.

Nothing against Kaivax… Like I get it. He has been with Blizzard for longer and the interview shed some serious light on how the mentality at blizzard works, even to this day… And that was great.

But it is times like this that I miss Ythisens most… I feel like he would have had the gumption to say something by now even if it is only an attempt to let us know we’ve been heard and nothing more.

Sigh. I think that the major issue is that we are dealing with Activision, an old entity that controls Blizzard and doesn’t act on its part. Long gone are the Micheal Morhaime’s and Chris Metzen’s: the loving creators.

Every post I make, I try to remain positive and on-subject. We now have some questionable material (as far as a Collector’s Edition or WoW Store becoming reality is concerned) being implemented…in the beta of an old expansion pack. Let’s face it. Classic may have been doomed from the start with players coming from private servers knowing every which way to take advantage of the game.

I still would love to keep the hope for fresh alive. It is remarkable that we have such implementations into monetization, but no replies at all on the topic of an alternative to taking advantage of every facet of the game.

Thanks for keeping this thread alive.

The very same to you, and all the other folks so passionate about fresh servers and the community.

Fresh with boosts disable should be too priority in blizzards deliverables. I will not play TBC if boosts are an option

Yea because everyone would go to the fresh server with no boosts lolol. If you listen to what the bots say, they respond by saying “why do you think they would split the community?” The truth is that it doesn’t, it would be just another server.

But!!! Blizzard scared of this in the same way they are scared of classic in the first place. This would just prove against the whole paradigm that nobody wants paid services.

Now here are the retail players, blizzard decided that these are the people we’re catering classic to… introducing boosts.

Truth, then when this person sees that they can’t change the discussion to their POV they mute that person. Claiming bullying or something along those lines.
Pretty much hijacking the thread to post novel sized replies picking posts apart sentence by sentence doesn’t feel like a healthy discussion to me.

maybe shorten your replies so you won’t loose track of what you are actually replying to.

With some luck, at least one of those views was from a Blizzard employee. :smiley:

Here’s hoping!! :crossed_fingers:

Yes we need fresh servers in order to have fun with tbc, im a warlord mage and i dont want to play with these T3 warlords field marshals… its trashy and not fun. no one is saying you cant play your main and have fun with all the people who want to play those characters. there are many of us who want a fresh start server because it will be more fun for us. there is absolutly no reason blizzard cant do this. we want it. please make this happen. no xfers no boosts, just a fresh start TBC server, at least one server… i guarantee it will be full on launch day… if they dont do this they are intentionally throwing the game.

Roodjay! Welcome to the club. You’d figure it’d be easier :thinking: to make a clean, nearly-sandbox game. No special hearthstones, toys, models. No shop, no crazy PvP inheritance, no 200K gold transfers. Literally, the single “change” we want is to begin at level 1, wiping the economy. I think our paying our premium, 14.99 or not, should get us active GMs on the “Preservation” end. I don’t consider that a change; more so it is a return to law and order.

This game is not free-to-play. Microtransactions are moving the game in that direction, so this adds a point that we on the fresh end of things aren’t asking for any in this TBC expansion.

Keep it simple, stupid (at Activision). The bugs, honestly, have been mostly worked out. We know 60-70 is going to take most people a while anyways, so we begin at level 1. You roll out phases in line with the store or collector group (Unlimited). The store-clientele can have their own set of servers. I discussed an Unlimited vs Preservation set of servers, where you don’t have to throw the name “Classic” to the wind for the either set. The Unlimited can have any up and coming mounts, toys etc.

Again, you’d figure that retail looking mount and the toy took added work… :thinking:

About the store and mount, people had argued in another thread that “Oh, well if you are about ‘Preservation/Fresh,’ what about the RAF?” RAF happened three months prior to Wrath of the Lich King. If you want to roll RAF then, let’s plan on that then! :slight_smile: I am a purist. If it happened then, I agree with it now. We should be a simple server group, rolling out original content patches in parallel with Unlimited.

"We" are in beta right now, and Activision is just warming the waters around the toad; we’ll be boiling in no time at this rate.

I am about the game being exactly as it was, as close to the original as possible. A level 1 restart is the closest we are going to get to pure because the current “Vanilla” economy is screwed up in so, so, so many ways.
