Bring back Era Clone Service MEGATHREAD!

[Murdercarpet-zuljin]

@Ixiom-zuljin

What is there even to clone from, though? I don’t get it.

Does Blizz still have our level 60s snap shotted somewhere, even though its leveled to 80?

Or yall just havent logged in to your 60 since it was moved to progressed servers?

I think they should just write a routine that clones back all the characters that never played past 60.

[Kelae-mankrik]

Bring it back please, I’ll pay you money…

[Ycuda-sulfuras]

Hurry up and take my money!

Ewwww, cooties!

@Epiphania-whitemane

but why not just make a new character and a new journey?

Most of us are, but it’d be nice to play our originals as well.

@Epiphania-whitemane

or is it cause you know you swiped and bought a bunch of gear from gdkp and want to get it back?

I had one that was just entering BWL and one entering MC when I took my leave. Two with epic mounts, and a couple fresh 60 with 40 mounts. My goal would be to continue progressing them with a guild, I don’t like or do GDKP.
You guys and your hyperbole… it’s almost like watching mainstream news.

[Mixful-sulfuras]

Clones please

Remember the “ you won’t have to worry about losing all your progress to possible server shutdown“ “we don’t care if only a handful of characters are playing, the lights will be on whenever you want to revisit”.
Yeah right …

It’s true, you still have your characters, on Wrath.

@Givean-faerlina

Look at this guy losing his r14 rogue despite paying the fee

I would like to know the reply he got about his ticket.

@Dottie-guldan

The character was deleted from classic vanilla. You know, the place where we were safe from character deletion due to shutdown. Your point is meaningless. I said nothing about the wrath abomination that exists.

[Dottie-guldan]

Actually since you didn’t choose Era they were never there. edit: You didn’t have to pay to choose.

They were progressed naturally like back in 2007/8 from Classic to TBC then to Wrath because you didn’t choose when you had the chance, 13 months of chance.

Classic Era realms were new, not the progression realms and the normal thing was the progression to TBC and wrath.

Ah, so Classic has become retail, and you’re fine with that.

[Dottie-guldan]

Classic is not retail, it’s just progressing on some realms, especially if PEOPLE didn’t choose which realm type to play on. It was an active choice to do it but now Era is thriving people like everyone here saying “Bring back clones” want to jump on the bandwagon.

They just need to start over. Cloning is not coming back the data is gone, and people need to accept that, not make up conspiracy theories that the data is still there and just hiding.

You’re missing the point. In the beginning it was implied that our characters would be secure on a “forever” server. They used “we won’t shut down your characters like private servers, we’ll keep the lights on no matter how few play. What were they supposed to think.
Those who stopped playing before this changed into a cloning money grab had no idea that it would be otherwise.
People come in here trying to blame them for not making a choice that they were unaware of and telling them they have no reason to be disappointed.
That’s just rubbish.

No such thing was ever promised for Era, that was for the 2019 Classic. Which progressed to TBC and Wrath, just like it did back in the original.

@Piptak-wyrmrest-accord

They used “we won’t shut down your characters like private servers, we’ll keep the lights on no matter how few play. What were they supposed to think.

Yes, that was during Classic 2019, not after Era was released. They kept that promise.

@Piptak-wyrmrest-accord

Those who stopped playing before this changed into a cloning money grab had no idea that it would be otherwise.

It wasn’t just a money grab, people could choose Era FOR FREE! But now since it’s become popular they want to pay for a clone. Do they even know when the snapshot was?

@Piptak-wyrmrest-accord

People come in here trying to blame them for not making a choice that they were unaware of and telling them they have no reason to be disappointed.

Inactivity and Procrastination are still a choice.

Edit: Yes, they have a right to be disappointed but they don’t have the right to expect a long dead service to be returned. If people want it back they should make a suggestion ingame.

[Piptak-wyrmrest-accord]

@Dottie-guldan

Inactivity and Procrastination are still a choice.

I disagree.

[Dottie-guldan]

“If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.” - Freewill - Rush.

In fact, most people chose not to clone and that is definitely a choice.

I see it like buying a cheese sandwich then leaving it to go mouldy and then saying “no, I wanted a ham sandwich” instead and demanding the shop give you a new one.

[Sasin-whitemane]

@Eyr-whitemane

the clones were on sale for $5 for ages, people weren’t buying them because “classic era is dead duuuuude”

I paid for mine, just in case this very scenario ever happened. Still have both my character cloned to Classic and in Wrath. Some people don’t think far enough ahead

[Deadlie-grobbulus]

Man, i won the hungering cold on the lockout after the snapshot. I think i should still get it on my era clone😂. Oh wait, you guys didn’t clone your 60’s? That was short sighted of you. I feel your pain but you made a choice. I did not choose to wait for the hungering cold just had bad rng or am a bad player or something not my fault😂.

[Ilxxll-area-52]

Really hope blizzard brings back the cloning service. I had a lot of fun going into TBC and saw the classic servers were dead, and ended up not cloning my priest which spent probably days worth of play time in naxx I thought they, blizzard, may end up shutting those servers down eventually and didn’t want to waste the money. Given the resurgence and itch to play again, this time without the progression rush, has me looking forward to another go around but wishing desperately to clone my 60 back. Happy to pay 25-50 bucks for Blizzard to re-activate the DB again for a paid clone. I hope they choose to allocate some resources to accomplish this. Thanks for the memories Blizz, I would appreciate the clone service back.

[Arthie-benediction]

You tell em!

[Tusker-windseeker]

I got deployed right before the clone service was offered, and did not have a chance to clone, I played some of TBC, got to 70 on a character but really want to be able to clone my stuff back and replay some ERA.

[Piptak-wyrmrest-accord]

Still, hard disagree.
