Oh I think the price is absolutely ridiculous, I’m just trying to explain to that guy about how clones work
They could maybe try charging players a monthly fee to play.
You guys have a right to be mad at 35 bucks, thats insane, but to assume it would be entirely free is a bit naive

Why?
Do you have to pay to restore a deleted character? That’s just one example. There are infinite ones.
If people accept being charged for things like this, more will be added to the list.
You’ve never played retail WoW, or any other game that was developed to make money.
Your absurd strawman statement aside, defending a business charging something simply ‘because they can’ is what has lead to the utter milking of the playerbase.
But that’s what’s become of the playerbase in this industry. So used to being exploited, they don’t know any better or question it. Just say “of course a business needs to make money” as if that justifies everything. I suppose that’s easier than actually holding companies to some kind of standard.
Based on your comments you would be up in arms if it was $5 or $35… I said in multiple posts 35 is an insane price, but it does cost them money to run extra servers, so It cant be free.
i cant believe people are this upset they have to pay to be able to play 2 games for 35 bucks. do one or the other and its free. there is upkeep for the extra servers. you wanted classic to stick around after tbc, gotta pay for the privilege.
I’m pretty sure the cost is so high because they don’t expect a lot of people to clone characters especially not all of their characters so they’re trying to make as much $_$ on it as possible.
I’m definitely not going to pay $35 to clone a character but that doesn’t mean much coming from me because I wasn’t even going to pay $1 to clone a character.
I would like to think it might have been better if Blizzard just progressed the existing servers to tbcc and launched some ‘fresh’ classic era servers, but there probably would have been a storm of protest over that as well.
how do you really feel
Question, if you boost a character, is that character automatically flagged for BC or can a boosted character remain on classic or additionally use the clone service to be on both?
That is wrong. They took away ONE character, and will give you back ONE character for free (in either game).
You are charged if you want TWO characters in TWO games. You didn’t level up two characters. Why should you get the second one for free? Are you trying to destroy the game? Make every player’s leveling time invalid?
You can’t convince me that you don’t know the difference between ONE and TWO.
There IS no boost in classic. There IS no boost on CE servers.
The boost will only exist on TBC servers. You are already playing on a TBC server when you boost. You are already playing the TBC game. Nothing you do there (including the boost) can EVER be transferred to a CE server, or to a Retail WoW server. They are 3 separate games.
I agree. I think the cost is high to PREVENT players from automatically cloning everything (even things they will never play).
The price is cheap enough for anyone who wants to play 2 games. But it is high enough that people won’t pay it UNTIL they actually start to play the other game. And even then, they may choose to play a different class instead.
No, probably not but you’ve convinced this entire forum that you’re a white knight LMAO.

Yes piper!! I actually would debate to go lower personally. Maybe $15? Shoot, maybe even $10. I don’t think you give off an “entitled” sense at all. They’re already taking “snapshots” of our characters so really we’re just paying them to have our character show up on the other era’s realm list. Lol.
Again, I said (IK not, technically).
They’re two different games but OKing saving progress to take over into BC. Why is that OK but not preserving that same progress to remain, in Classic, as well? It’s the same character and not a “new” one.
I never said “free”. I said $30 max.
It’s not because these characters have had played time, on them.
I’m not because that’s not my argument.
Appreciate that.
Maybe the $35 is intentionally high to dissuade the majority of people from purchasing it to theoretical maintain some kind of client balance. But personally I think they just threw darts at a board.
