Played ally in vanilla, tbc and wrath, switched to horde after than since until I quit in legion. All my buddies wanted to play horde for classic and mained a shaman so there’s there.
I’d love to go back to ally on a fresh server and experience all those zones again through the levels.

Real life restricted my Classic experience. I just recently started trying to get into TBC. The state of things basically requires a fresh option for new players. It’s a bad situation to start playing now…for obvious reasons people have stated again and again. It’s kind of amazing Blizz hasn’t made a fresh option yet. I guess they don’t want to grow the playerbase and attract new players?
And don’t say the boost is for that. It’s not. It sucks for new players. I want to experience leveling with a mass amount of players. I want to start that journey with thousands of other players and make friends along the way. I want an active and vibrant scene in the old world. I want to play on a server where the economy isn’t completely destroyed already.
This was similar to my situation back in 2007, except then Blizz added lots of fresh servers. So I rolled one and got to experience the game as if it was brand new. The same was true for countless others. And that really sucked me in and kept me playing ever since. Why they won’t recreate that experience is beyond me. It’s so obvious it would be extremely successful and make them a lot of money (which really is all that matters to them).
Long-winded way of saying they need to make some fresh servers.

I’m against fresh servers for this reason: most arguments for them are bases on things that have happened already on other servers, and will absolutely end up happening there, so it’s then a pointless waste of resources.
1 more bump for the day. Really want to start a dwarf hunter/ gnome mage.

Today i leave for vacation, i was holding out hope this would…at the very least…get addressed in some official manner. I’m letting my sub expire and moving on to better things. There are lots of great companies starting up out there that DO care about passion over profits. Blizzard is not one of them. time to vote with my wallet. Goodbye blizzard, we had a great run…its not me it’s you.
one last #bumptillblue for old times sake
you will be missed.

there is no downside, cant be any worse than they are now
fresh now will be more of a good test run for the seasonal servers option 1 year resets -NO QoL Changes- boost/transfers to see how many interested. (classic or bcc)
Fresh servers from retail are still open and is pretty much the same as all other servers limited players with just as many merges. there has not been a fresh server since 2009. till classic opened all fresh. the biggest thing wow done since WotLK.
just on a end note.
No one knows how successful or not fresh will be. till blizzard actually adds one themselves in this time. as they did in the original release of tbc and thrived as much as the rest.

We kinda do know. There is massive support here, on Reddit, on mmo-c, youtube videos, Twitch. Everywhere people are begging for a fresh server. In the short-term it will undoubtedly be the most populated server. The long-term is harder to judge. But with this amount of support it’s hard to imagine it wouldn’t maintain as one of the highest pop servers for months or years.
Ideally they would keep away stuff like boosts, transfers, the Deluxe mount and toys. Call it Classic Pristine or something. What Classic could have been (or should have been) before they Retail-ized TBC.

I find it really unlikely that there is going to be fresh a month in to TBCC. We are probably 2 months away from phase 2 at the earliest. Yes blizzard did release some servers but the game was also growing rappidly at that time.
While i think that the new server probably would have been 60/40 H:A at best after the PvP changes it could end up being 70:30 sincce anything over that pushes it to 100% in short order.
In the long run the TBCC Fresh you may want will prob end up taking another 6 months and be Called WoW Classic season 2 or something.
Some servers? In just like a week or two around TBC’s release they added 20+, on top of a pretty consistent basis. Now, looking back it may have been too many. As the millions left later on we’re left with way more servers than the game needs. Maybe Blizz is looking at that now and being very careful.
But to say they can’t add ONE server per type is absurd. I honestly can’t think of a reason they haven’t done it. It’s so obvious the demand is there. It would be a financial boon. Just another case of Blizz being out of touch with the playerbase it seems.
