$5 dollars, blizzard clearly doesnā€™t care about supporting itā€™s products (WOW Classic) so why should I pay $39 dollars for a game blizzard clearly doesnā€™t give a #$%@ about supporting

So, Blizzard announced that the cloning cost would be $35. Honestly, are they crazy?

Major pass on that option. Itā€™s really unfortunate. This is really going to kill the Classic Era population.

I would have cloned several characters at $10. None at the $35 price point. I wouldnā€™t even do it at a 50% discount from that price.

What about the rest of you?

People will still pay for it cause they have smol muscles.

Ugh ā€¦ thatā€™s just really greedy. I mean, I could pay $35 no problem ā€¦ but should I? I really donā€™t want to reward this level of corporate avarice.

Now that I know the cost Iā€™m not doing 4 chars. itā€™s too steep IMO. I might pay to clone one horde and one alliance even though I think itā€™s too expensive. Iā€™ll also just consider only cloning my druid while leaving one of my 60 alliances on Classic Era and the other moving it to TBC. Yeah, Iā€™ll probably do the second thing and just pay for one clone.

Per toon cost is way too high, If I have 4 toons, its 140 dollars to clone each.

Horrible, nice cash grab.

Making up for not charging for classic in the first placeā€¦

I probably would have paid 20, but doubt I would play classic much anyway, so figure I will just move all my characters to TBC now, and if I decide that I want to play classic, would probably just start over sometime in the future if I get bored, and want to start over.

Iā€™d pay zero dollars to clone. Pretty ridiculous that we even have to pay in the first place. At the $35 price tag Classic-era servers will likely be DoA.

Everyone is looking at this all wrong. You think they are greedy charging $35. They are banking on that no one pays the $35 dollars and they can shut those servers down. Saving them more money in the long run.

Too bad everyone canā€™t just band together and not use the cloning service. Activate all your characters to Classic Era and everyone reroll TBC.

Would have to be the other way around. Pure Classic only players want P1 servers not P6.

It was a protest thing. Even just to hold it off for 30 days.

$20

On their letter to investors it says $25

I agree. I was planning to dabble with both Classic and TBC but thatā€™s now out the window.

Classic Era population will now be terrible.

TBH I think the entire point is to have a high enough cost-of-entry so they can actually build and maintain appropriate server populations.

If the xfer was free, everyone would use it on every toon, and the servers would be chock full of toons with almost no connection to the actual active playerbase.
The last thing you want is too many Classic servers that almost all die because the vast majority of toons on them were never going to be played again anyway.

I wouldnā€™t pay a dime tbhā€¦ if there is any additional fee attached the classic servers would be so dead that it would be a waste of money.

Honestly thought I was going to use this on all my characters if it were like $15 max, now iā€™m just taking my main to outland and Iā€™ll level another in classic if I feel like it. To be honest leveling in classic again might be more fun anyway

Yeah Iā€™m done with this company and this game. Iā€™ve been playing since March 07, and NEVER have I seen such levels of arbitrary player-screwing greed. They can f off with $35 clone fee when it should be FREE. I am tired of them making decision after decision to bend over their paying customers. Bye Blizz, havenā€™t played in months and was actually gonna start playing again with BC, now Iā€™m not touching it. I know itā€™s only $15 but still. Go to hell, you greedy corporate pigs.
