yeah its not being lazy i dont like classic
Lots of us donât like classic.
thats why fresh servers make sense
and the real tbc had them too
Real TBC had to make more servers because the population kept increasing. Those servers moved at the same progression rate as the rest of the servers and shared battlegroups with them. Because of battlegroups, it doesnât make sense to roll on fresh servers really for TBC for players who already have characters on classic.
there will be new players that had no interest in classic. fresh servers are the best way to be fair to them
If anything they could release TBC with no dark portal open for a couple weeks for players that didnât want to play classic to get to 60 pre portal opening. Your idea is just selfish and unrealistic though.
hmm, i think your idea is selfish tbh
screw you if you didnt play classic is what you are saying. think about the people that didnt play classic for once, tbc will be like a new game
Not my original idea, though I donât remember who posted it first, but Blizzard could create a complete snapshot of WOW Classic characters (or maybe only those 58-60) as of the release day of TBC Classic realms, and make those available for copying.
Sure, a player could move all their gold to that level 60 the day before, but they wouldnât be starting in TBC Classic with more than they had earned on one realm, limited by the natural gold cap - no more than a player would have had available to them in vanilla when TBC dropped.
EDIT: Oh, and what would happen with those snapshots is players could choose which TBC realm to transfer them to. (Presumably there wonât be as many TBC realms, though I might be over-estimating the drop in interest.)

No iâm saying to keep it the same way the original classic->TBC transition was. Youâre trying to do something that is against the integrity of how the introduction of TBC was actually handled. Regardless though, anyone who thinks that blizzard will release tbc and not allow people to copy or transfer their characters in some form is living in a dream world.
its not though, i played on nazjatar a fresh server when tbc launched.
that is staying true to what they did. there will be new players for tbc
This is a good idea as well.
The better option is to simply make transfers one-time only.
Have servers for the 60âs to transfer to, and have fresh tbc servers as well.
Caters for the people who didnât play classic. Done

Sounds good to me.
Not if itâs a once per character option.
I disagree. How is it more desirable to lose access to your Vanilla character?
Copy the character over with all gold and items intact one time only.
The transfer is only perferrable because it stops players from duping gold.
Once per character - how would this be exploited you ask?
Two players: Jim and John.
Jim has 5k gold total. John has 5k total.
John gives Jim 5k gold. Jim now has 10k gold.
Jim copies his character.
Jim gives John 10k gold. John copies his characters.
Now Jim and Johnâs characters both have 10k gold on TBC.
See the problem here?
If people want to be able to have a copy of their character with all of their mats/items the only viable option would be to do snapshots of the accounts like suggested above.
Replicate all servers as is to a TBC platform. Done.
People can then transfer within the TBC servers as desired relative to active player count on their TBC server.

I do. Contention came up with a better option, though.

I agree itâs a good option. Seems like the same idea as the snapshot option presented earlier which I think is a great idea. I quoted and added the explanation of it given by Eilethalua to the original post as option 4.

I donât know why people keep bringing up the duping of gold. Whatever blizzard decides to do, there wonât be a way to dupe gold lol. Itâs odd that people assume if you character copy, youâll be able to start duping 10âs of thousands of gold across. Pretty sure there will be systems put it in place to stop that.
Either way, as above, replicating servers sounds like the best option to me. Have a Herod - classic, and a Herod - classic tbc. Keep the server names the same. That also fixes the issue of someone stealing your name that youâve had all throughout classic.
