I would return as well. But the longer they go without doing this, the less hopeful I am that the server is going to be any sort of populated. If they’d have released one within a week or two of TBC Classic it would likely be very thriving right now. If they release one now, most of the people who were interested will have moved on.
If i had 10 characters id not be invested in those either.
If i have just one and make choices for em and then have to live with those I personally have a stronger bond to said character.
As said im obviously in the minority here. A lot of ppl like that they don’t have to stick to a single spec/class or enjoy respec options (in this game or others). I don’t. Its just me.
Its also not backwards at all imho. If i go into a character and choose my class knowing full well that if i happen to dislike it i just can swap on a whim the initial choices gets muddied. If you know you never have to really commit, why bother overthinking things? Just pick the marauder class or whatever, who cares, as i can just swap in the blink of an eye.
Only for you.
Just reroll on one of the dead servers.
No, it is straight up flawed. Make your own choices, and make them matter for yourself. Don’t leave it up to others to make choices for you.
I really don’t think you understand how it works. It’s no different from swapping over to an alt on WoW except that you can do it on the go on one character. You still have to level up each job from the beginning. You can’t just play anything. Just please stop talking like this about a system you don’t even understand because you’ve never touched it.
Not sure about FFXIV but I am playing New World Closed Beta atm. If they opened up fresh, I’m not sure if I’d be inclined to come back now but who knows.

Hi welcome to the conversation. This argument is pointless and many here have tried to say that. If you make this argument then you have zero understanding of why any of us wanted a fresh server. Thanks, bye!

Once the option is there its hard to adhere to said “choices” specially if most other players do not stick to said principles. You will always be at a disadvantage doing that.
Look at the 58 boost in WoW. Personally id never boost but a ton of people take advantage from doing so. It puts me on a disadvantage not using said boost, sticking up to my principles. Hence why its not as easy as to say: Nobody forces you. I know nobody does but everyone else using those things has an edge. This isn’t a single player game where my personal restrictions will not put me at a competitive disadvantage versus other players.
Aren’t you getting a bit touchy on the subject. Ez there tiger. I didn’t insult your kids.
First, let me say I see the light now on this topic. With the recent announcements and test events, it is obvious TBCC is on the short track to retail.
So I am now on the side of fresh servers, can we have them and turn off all the stuff, boosts, FvF BGs, the works, I just want a TBC that is something similar to what it once was. What we have right now is looking more like a FrankenWoW.
You could have thrown a bunch of monkeys in a room with computers and gotten a better version of TBC.

Look, you really don’t understand the system. Just stooooooooop talking unless you’re going to give it a try. It’s free btw. There are no boosts. There are no disadvantages to making a new character to play a different class aside from the fact that you then have to play through the entire campaign again. No one is going to be better off than you if you choose to do that. So just stop talking. You are completely incorrect about all your assumptions. Either try the game(did I mention you can play for free?) or be quiet.
Hear, hear. I’m glad you have a newfound appreciation for why we wanted this. Welcome to the club. 
Sorry to hear TBCC has gone to crap though.
Settle down there you.
I just see fresh, no-transfer/boost servers as a good way of escaping most of the toxics/cheaters currently playing, as few of them would be willing to abandon their current server/character investment to start over from scratch leveling-up. Mostly, only the people trying to escape the toxics would be willing to do something that extreme - & thus you start out with a more solid & mature community base to build from than what the current, toxic-overrun servers could ever dream of having.

welcome aboard friend 
Nice edit bruh. Really had to go post on your alt, eh?
This is what I think would happen too.

It really is bad business to not release a fresh server. The mmo genre is booming right now. Lot of new ones coming out. Players trying new games. The longer Blizz goes without adding fresh, the more players go and play a different game. Some, perhaps many, will get hooked and not return even if Blizz does release a fresh server. That number goes up over time.
So, again, I don’t understand why they’re not releasing a fresh server. But I also didn’t understand why they went years and years refusing to release Classic servers. That was so much lost money they’ll never get back. Whoever makes these decisions at Blizzard clearly is not business savvy at all.

Love this reference!
I think it is better than my calling it TBC Classic (Retail) 
Thanks.

unfortunately i don’t think this will ever happen because it means blizzard will not be able to monetize the tbcc fresh classic experience. hence why they will likely NOT implement these servers. it would simply be a use of resources and money while yielding little to no extra cash benefit as it is not a sure thing that players would return to utilize these fresh servers.
