Bring back Era Clone Service MEGATHREAD!

How large do you think 1 character is? 1 GB or less?

Like I said I don’t know, if it is 1GB then that’s 100,000,000 GB PER REALM. That’s how many characters they say in the video.

I would guess less, but that’s only a guess.

At 1 GB times 100 million clones we are at 100 PB.

I doubt it’s 1 GB but I could be wrong ofc. Think of the things that are 1 GB or 10s of GB in size and think… does 1 character really sound like it would take up as much space as those things? Doesn’t to me.

Even if it’s 100MB that’s still only knocking one zero off the total.

Regardless… there are ways of making non-changing data smaller. They took the lazy route, either through incompetence, negligence, or disrespect for their customers.

I’m far from an expert here, but I would assume for a professional operation the data storage has ancillary data costs. Backups, encryption, etc. Me, storing my toon on a thumb drive, it might be a significantly smaller file than what Blizzard needs to devote to it on their servers.

Or the fact they thought surely everyone who wants to clone should have done it by now. People had 15 months to do it.

That is silly to assume. Of course people bored with vanilla back when it was over will think they don’t need the character. But times change and some things become desirable again. Not everyone is good at planning ahead. It doesn’t mean you should just delete data. Very negligent.

Like you calling them “incompetent”?

People showed no interest until other people ingame decided to start playing again. Now it’s popular you want back in, well, you can’t, learn to live with it and either don’t play Era or start over.

And no, your characters are not gone, they are exactly where you left them. On the progression realms.

Just ignore dottie he’s too ashamed to speak from his main char, very obvious troll.

Claiming they’re incompetent isn’t too much of an assumption though, considering how well Diablo 4 and DF are retaining players. (spoiler: they aren’t) Have you heard about how Diablo 4 inventories for each player are loaded? Lols.

I don’t play in the US so my Era main is on the EU realms.

It was a business decision, if you don’t like it then vote by cancelling your subscription.

It’s everyone’s discretion to determine when some thing, or multiple things, warrant cancelling a subscription and quitting. I still raid on wrath so Im not quitting or doing that sub cancelling nonsense. Doesn’t mean other people haven’t been dropping it like it’s hot.

Go make a fool out of yourself on eu forums no reason to spam the us forums with your pathetic nonsense. As i said obvious troll.

I’m not the one denying that something is not gone when there are multiple official posts and videos saying it is gone.

51 posts on a forum you dont even play at, kek go troll somewhere else.

The Blizz staff don’t read the EU forums, and I do play, just not on the US realms, can’t you read?

I have a lot more than 51 posts.

That’s why we pay a subscription.

lol my subscription to Amazon Prime isn’t enough for them to make season 3 of Patriot.
