"Character Boosts are not in keeping with Classic. We don't want to break any hearts."

Why should current classic players who do not want boosts have to move to another fresh server, especially after all the time and effort many classic players like myself have already put into the game?

Then don’t play on a fresh server…

Nobody should be forced to play with cheaters.

Nobody should be forced to play with WoW boomers who complain about the dumbest crap.

Exactly. You nailed it with that answer. Vanilla was the leveling process and boosts at the time didn’t make sense. The boosts with TBC do make sense since they get people into the expansion so it evens the playing field.

good so you agree we should be able to play in separate ideological servers

[Hadenuff-emerald-dream]

Exactly, wow boomer server, and the rest on the other server. Genius, i love my people.

I think by now it’s obvious that players want boosts and players don’t want boosts I think the best way to do things is to make fresh TBC servers so those like me can play without boosts.

Why should current classic players who do not want boosts have to move to another fresh server, especially after all the time and effort many classic players like myself have already put into the game? I think it should be the opposite where there are fresh TBC servers which include the Boosts only, while keeping Boosts away from ALL or SOME current classic servers migrating into TBC.

Your argument is valid. It is not fair that you are stradled with the boost candy for bots.

I; for one, do not really have a problem with the idea of boosted players but I very much have a problem with the idea of anything that empowers the automated programs that devalue the game at a fundamental level. IE - bots.

Yeah, it is not fair that you would have to give up all your classic server progress. But Blizzard has laid out their production guidelines for the rollout of TBC classic - and that includes boosts on all the current Classic servers.

How would they determine which servers should have boosts and which should not? That would not be fair to some servers if they only offered some with boosts. It would not be fair to the players who would then need to transfer OFF to get away from boosts or ON to gain access to boosted servers so they can play with their friends.

So the battle lines are unfortunately drawn. It is not fair for you to give up your progress. At this point it is more about the weight of your opinion given the options.

Personally, I do not relish the thought of starting over again from 1 and giving up my geared characters, the gold to buy an epic flying mount, the bank alts full of transmute and profession items and many more things – Especially when I am eager to get to the TBC content as it was my favorite expansion!
However, I would rather start over than continue on a server transitioning to make boosts the norm. What is next with WotLK?

So it is a heavy choice for me, but I would prefer a non-boosted, non-cash shop fresh server and I would happily grit my teeth and dredge through Classic yet again to get to the eagerly anticipated TBC content.
That said, I am pretty confident I will still have some fun times in the 1-60 level range with old friends and some new ones.

Please just setup financial cost for us specifically because cause we demand a garden of our own! I got a question for you. Why should they? You’ll be here one way or the other

[Pinkhair-westfall]

TBC had RAF and the TCG. Make friends tackle the content together, have fun, and most importantly do not worry what others do. That will net you happiness in the game, and if not go play another game.

[Lukesta-arugal]

jimmi living it up spamming the forums and insulting strangers on a saturday night, you’re a king champ keep it up

[Hadenuff-emerald-dream]

Because they cater to people who want boosts and not to people who don’t. Why cater to one community but not the other? That’s a good way to lose a large player base.

[Michaeas-remulos]

Well, they setup a financial cost each and every time they create a server. And we compensate them by paying a subscription to play on them. Blizzard has setup many different servers in many different regions for RP, PvE, PvP, and RP-PvP. These different servers are setup in different regions and with different rulesets on them for people who want to play with those various rulesets. What I and others are requesting is really no different. We are asking for a few new fresh TBC Classic servers in each region to startup during the pre-patch or at the release of TBC Classic with no cash shop conveniences or transfers to them from other servers. Just like the other types of servers that Blizzard has setup in the past this gives us RPG’ers a set of servers to play on with a ruleset we like while the min/max and Retail crowd get to keep their servers with the cash shop conveniences that they like. In return, we will pay them a subscription cost to play on those servers, just as others do to play on RP, PvE, PvP and RP-PvP servers.

Does that help?

Thanks.

[Smallhead-arugal]

Hello Kaivax. If boosts are inevitable, what do you think of Blizzard releasing two types of servers? Boosted tbc servers and non boosted tbc servers?

Kind of like different types of servers like an rp pve and pvp server? Then we can see what is more successful.

Burning Crusade Classic begins at level 58, and we’re configuring this new Boost service to avoid minimizing the accomplishments of existing players or skipping any new content at launch. It’s for players who want a way to quickly join their friends in Outland.

TBC starts at level 1, and it’s pretty shameful that you don’t seem to realize this. TBC was an expansion to an existing game, not a separate game on its own. If you bought TBC back in 2006, you had to buy the original World of Warcraft in order to actually play it. And if the boost is meant for new players, then why is it available to players who already have max level characters?
