Starting at level 58 is the only option
everyone else started at 60
yes whats your point
Cool, guess you wanna see a completely crap economy with people ganking on epic flying on day 1âŚ
that youâre wrong.
no, in tbc players kept their characters at level 60, and shamans and paladins of the new races started at level 1. sorry bucko if you want a new race/class combo then youre going to have to sacrifice to get it.

So the way blizzard actually did it when TBC came out isnât an option for them to do again?
No, thatâs not the ONLY viable option. People would still flock to BC servers if it was fresh start.
The issue is that implies all current servers would be forced to upgrade. Which some people understandably donât want.
Having some BC servers with a copy to option and some fresh bc servers is a much more fair option for everyone.

Iâm so excited for all the Classic realms to become Classic TBC realms.
Server copies is the optimal solution.
Character copies simply canât work, people will game the system and impact the launch.
âVanilla Classic: Benedictionâ gets a snapshot taken the week of launch and âTBC Classic: Benedictionâ is implemented.
This ensures Vanilla Classic servers are preserved, and maintains the concept of the Classic project being a true as possible to the original launches.
One time full server copies is certainly an option to prevent people from trying to game the system.

I donât care what they do as long as they wait longer than they did so people have fun in naxx this time around. i would prefer a character copy to a tbc server. maybe with no gold allowed so the economy wont be fubar.
As well as allow those who want to continue with vanilla and maintain progress to do so, while simultaneously emulating the original TBC launch.
This would disenfranchise those who donât know how to farm effectively and widen the gold gap for players. Those people who farm in inefficient ways will have their vanilla stockpile to eventually afford flying.
Those who do farm well will simply farm vanilla content on a mage for hundreds of gph, or perma-flight form node farm on druids.
I agree 100% on giving decent time after Naxx
Its important to note that the authentic vanilla experience was all realms transitioning into bc the day bc launched. We wouldnt wanna ruffle the feathers of the #nochanges clan.

The way the games launch is a relatively important thing to preserve. This is from the perspective of someone not overly concerned about no changes.
It also sets the precedent for launches going forward.
The server copy would be nice but its not going to happen. Its going to be character transfers to TBC servers. No copies even if it sounds nice, its just too easy to manipulate. There is no way to cap people on this. Even if you do no gold then they bring boeâs, ban those they make them bop so they can de them. Thereâs so many work aroundâs that its only going to be transfers.
A server copy is a relatively simple solution for a DBA to implement. Enough traction from the community and itâs a possibility.
False.
The only option YOU LIKE, sure. The only viable, not even close.
I think the most viable option is to have a pre-determined period, say 4 weeks, during which TBC realms are 100% new rolls only, and it is similar to âpre-launchâ where the portal isnât open yet. (Possibly allow level 1s to reserve names, but first come, first serve, since this probably wonât be matching realms.)
Then allow character copies, but from a snapshot taken at a specific time so no one cheats the system to bring more over than actually exists on their character/realm.
Finally, the event occurs to open the portal - with both players whoâve leveled to 58-60 and players whoâve copied over their geared 60s, while there are plenty of players at any point leveling still who arenât in such a rush. Thatâs the best match to original TBC launch IMO.
