I’d love a TBC server eventually if:
One of my favourite parts of TBC was the first Alliance Shaman and First Horde Paladin race to 70 on our server. We had guilds helping boost the shaman on our side.
I am not saying it would be that easy or simple. But new guilds starting later could do the older raids without feeling like they are doing old content. When you add levels it TOTALLY invalidates old content. Say a new guild starts the game with TBC. They level up to 70 without ever stopping by MC at level 60. But if all of the TBC content is set to level 60 a guild that starts late can still complete the early raids because they are not invalidated by an additional 10 character levels.
I can’t speak for others, but my primary concern about tbc/wrath servers is splitting the playerbase. I don’t know if there are high enough numbers to justify isolated communities for three or four different game versions.
If you’re suggesting that all classic servers be upgraded to tbc, then hell to the no. I like the level 60 content, and I like that content being relevant. I don’t want to go through everything becoming pointless to make way for all the Outland stuff.
I can’t really think of one…so long as it’s separate from Classic. A TBC server serves the same purpose as Classic: offering a specific time period in WoW’s history.
Classic+, on the other hand, would be a complete disaster. It is doomed to fail, as evidenced by any thread on the subject. It is contrary to the entire point of Classic.
“I dont understand how it negatively affects classic?”
Put on your thinking cap for a minute. It raises the level cap to 70, therefore making obsolete all the rewards acquired from Classic Dungeon runs, Raids, and PvP gear by the time you hit level 62. Unless you’re being willfully obtuse, it’s impossible not to see how that negatively affects Classic.
Now, I have no problem with dedicated “The Burning Crusade” servers myself. I think the best scenario would be to allow one-time character copies for level 60 characters to TBC servers so that people could play either TBC or original Classic with the characters they put so much time into. But when you guys say stuff like “I dont understand how it negatively affects Classic?” you sound silly. It’s very obvious how it negatively affects Classic if you force it onto existing servers; see my first paragraph.
Mechanically it’s easily one of the funnest shooters I’ve ever played and I love FPS games.
TBC and Vanilla aren’t even the same genre.
TBC tainted and ruined the MMO genre forever with it’s awful design decisions.
Arena gear invalidated a lot of other content. Also warped PvP balance around e-sports pvp.
There is also blood elves and the end of faction specific classes.
There is good stuff in TBC I won’t deny that, but it was in fact the beginning of the end of the “classic” mindset for WoW.
The burning crusade was one of my favorite expansions out of all of them. With that said I think the whole point of classic was to just have the basic game before any expansions came out. It would kind of ruin the point of playing classic if you started doing expansions on classic. But I do think it would be really cool if they did a TBC dedicated server in much the same way they have with classic. I guess we are all missing the older versions of the game. I think after TBC it was all kind of downhill in my opinion.
Yep, I loved TBC, but after TBC the game totally morphed into something different entirely
Your opinion is just wrong and you should feel bad.
No, I don’t agree. WoW classic and TBC are the only versions of the game I found to be (honest to god) my hands down favorites.
Interesting opinion. 
Totally disagree.
Wrong. You only got flying at max level (70) in BC, thus you cant fly while leveling.
People always say this but NEVER say what those design decisions were and why they are bad…
There’s no opinion. It completely changed the MMO genre into flying mounts, linear dungeons, linear questing/leveling, constant gear reset 100% instanced content games.
Are we talking a year + from now?
None.
Linear leveling kinda sucks. I like classic’s overlap for sure… if you happen to like trolls … you can go level in different spots to get a different feel on your alt.
