WoW is now divided between retail, classic, and TBC classic. It looks like classic is going through the worse of it. Who didn’t see that coming?

Some of us want a fresh classic server with no transfers or boosts.

Classic is over. How anyone did not realize this is beyond comprehension.

I sign the petition albeit my hopes are not up, I already engaged Customer Service on the very same issue.
They said they are Powerless. LOL… Cannot do this Cannot do that.
All they can do is give links to the website and smarty pants patronizing responses thinking that people will be impressed by the bad jokes and snarky remarks, like if we are children.
Very disappointed with Blizzard Support, they used to be much better back in the day.
If I was head of the Department responsible of planning this Upgrade to TBC, first of all I would do one of two things.
1st = Give a grace period to people to decide which Game they want to play. Not a one Choice and Damn you if you make a mistake raw deal as they did.
Give 1 weeks were people can select and deselect where to have their characters so people can make a more informed decision, see how Classic realms are if the game is playable if that is what they find fun etc.
B - Offer the cloning system in either of two ways, given the unique circumstances of Classic, given that we all came back to pay again for agame we already played before a second time.
1- Account wide cloning. This way people can clone all their characters in one account (many people have more than one anyways).
2- If not account wide then the on aper character service should clone the character beyond the 18th, and since it is paid. This way if some people select to remain in Classic era to finish up whatever they like in that Era before moving on they can pay and move on.
The way it was done now is inconsidered for the players and just plan greedy, I can picture them sitting in their desk trying to gain Red Tape Points rubbing their hands for all the money they will generate from the Upgrade and hope for nice corporate bonuses.
The worse was when one of the CS reps told me that, “Hey you know the players asked to have an experience like the Original TBC years ago so, we cannot reset any characters choice for which game to play”…ehh really?
And and in Original TBC we have those Character Boosts with Mounts I see for the first time too? Who are they trying to kid?
Abysmal CS, they are laughing at us on top of it.

I mean… why’d you do that?
I created a new character to check out some servers in Classic era and see who was around. Looks like the dead Retail server I left years and years ago, where now so many of the people who might answer in /trade have a <name>-<realmname> type tag.
I really dislike the way they rolled out the snapshot, and having to make a choice or not play thing. Had they allowed us to continue on WoW Classic for as long as we wanted, then upgrade to TBC or whatever it happens to be whenever we are ready, there might be more people who stayed behind.
I went to TBC Classic on one of my toons, but there’s nothing for me to do really… a friend of mine started a new character, and I don’t want to level any more characters. I don’t want any gear. I actually wish I hadn’t resubbed yet.
Meh… see ya in another week or so.

I kept a BG character on Vanilla in hopes for a proper merger.
Each geo needs 1 PvE and 1 PvP realm.
I doubt it will be high pop but if we can manage a medium pop server that would be Stellar! Like talking a era appropriate Vanilla medium pop not modern mega server.

They could have started you at 58 ready to go through I didn’t say anything about level 1.
Still not a good idea. I like my character and want to progress with him the same way I did back in the day. This other stuff doesn’t make any sense.
You could make your character look exactly the same with the exact same name. What doesn’t make sense is letting all the people who exploited the entirety of Classic ruin another version of the game. Yet here we go again.

I blame blizzard for charging money, we shoulda got at least 1 free clone, or free clones in general like they said they were gonna do. Now were stuck with dead servers and nobody wanting to copy cus its a dead server that costs money to play.

Too late. Things progressed just as they should.

I am considering transferring my paladin from Westfall to BB to play casual PvE, level 46. Need some time to think about it, but I have interest in continuing to play parts of classic I haven’t.

Not completely dead. Lots of bots still around, all night in Mara, strat, zul farak. Not sure why they waste time farming classic gold, it’s useless.

Classic hasn’t progressed the way it should since before the game even launched but that’s modern Blizzard for you.

Considering you can play the same character both in Classic and Classic TBC it is laughable that anyone could suggest this is the way it’s “supposed” to go.
Or just choose the TBC classic realm when you first login on your characters, and it is free. There is no reason to level from 1 on TBC when I have a stable of max characters I can place there for free. I doubt I will ever go back to Classic before TBC, if I do, than I guess I will pay the copy fee.
Come join BB!
The way it is “suppose” to go, is to just roll out TBC as an expansion on the Classic servers. It was the vocal people on the forum that said they didn’t want that and want to remain in a Classic server. If that didn’t happen, there would be no instances of people having the same character on both servers.
