If I understand this right, Remix won’t be totally walled off like Punderstorm. Remix characters will join our normal Retail roster after Remix ends. So, a lot of people will be making at least one new character. This seems like a great time to free up some names from dead accounts.

“Start with a fresh new character and play at an accelerated pace”
Translation: Ooh lookit here! New shiny thing! All you players who stopped playing because Retail is in a stagnant phase, bring your money and come back and try the new shiny thing!
How is that different than Season of Discovery?
Or Cataclysm “Classic”

Nothing. This is an optional game mode for people who wanna try something different rather than doing the same thing we’ve been doing over and over again for 20 years.

People like you are the worst. You just whine.

No new content: Game is stagnant and dead

Yup I deleted my post, just read it. We will in fact be keeping these characters!
Live service game uses retention tactics, news at 11.
Why is this so shocking and why are you making it sound like it should be offensive?

The reason for this probably isnʻt different.
I mean SoD was “Hey lookit all you folks burned out on classic, heres a new twist on Classic! Come and do this!”
Seems after that Other game (That gets you a forum suspension if you name it) came out with a “New way to play WoW”, Blizzard has been hard at work trying to make “New ways to play WoW”.
Have you perhaps considered that this is in fact… a new twist on retail WoW?
Yes, from the moment i read “Make a new character and…”
Folks have been complaining for years about the monotony of leveling. Personally, I love Chromie Time, but it can get very repetitive nonetheless. This is a new way to level and experience the journey to 70 and I’m all for it.
Blizzard is clearly throwing all kinds of noodles at the wall to see what sticks. You can’t fault them for that. A for-profit company is going to continue to try to lure folks back in. SoD, hardcore, era, retail, Plunderstorm, and now this. Let’s just let it ride, man. Let’s see what happens.

This would be a cool time to introduce last names. Maybe just for toons that participate in this event and let it carry over to retail.
Even better than a title to let folks know you did this event.

I never said i was shocked, you did. Why do you find this shocking?
I never said i was offended, you did, Why do you think its offensive?
Im simply amused at how the game is following that Other game while being so offended by its existence
Classless characters?
Random abilites?
Accelerated advancement?
there ya go. Happy Mr. Human buzzer?

That’s not how the naming policy works any longer.
All character names in a Battle.net account automatically become available after the Battle.net account has been inactive for two consecutive expansions. Customer Support does not manually release character names, even if the account isn’t currently active.

Ok, but, who makes the rules?
I don’t find it shocking, you framed it in a way as if the reader of your post would.
Good idea, it’d be nice to try to get back some names I’ve lost over the years lol.
