No they arent.
Stop lumping Classic in with the garbage, falsely so called expansions. These games had flying and no factions. Entirely different type of game.
TBC killed World of Warcraft and WotLK defiled the corpse.

I’ll keep repeating this:
Get rid of SOD, It’s stupid.
1 Vanilla realm, 1 BC realm and 1 WotLK realm - that’s all there needs to be. Later down the line talks about a progressive realm that resets yearly.
I want to play TBC so badly, but I’m playing vanilla in it’s place while I wait.

I’m only interested in permanent Era servers. No progression realms. Others will obviously feel different, but that’s my preference. Not interested in constant pressure to keep up with any particular pace but my own, and I don’t want my progress to be made obsolete.

Agree the trilogy is classic and for me the only 3 worth playing. Dying to play on a BC server.

2 Era servers for each of those 3 please! We need 1 PvE and 1 PvE server per expansion and region!

Yup I mean one of each. Given the loud chourus of “The only real game is PvP” combined with Blizz’s preference treatment of PvP, if we have only one it would be sure to be a PvP server - to the detriment of all us not wanting to play on a PvP server ever again.

In original version of WoW you could simply not buy the new expacs and play in the Wow world the way it was. Could still open Scarab gates and all that. Cata is what changed that.

People who repeat this copypasta always conveniently ignore that PvE servers arrived at the same fate. Whenever I point it out, the bot does their best to avoid responding to it, because they have no counter-argument.
Guilds mass transferring to the biggest server for their faction for easy recruiting/roster boss? No no no, couldn’t possibly be that… it must be PvP. /s
Yeah I kinda always thought it was PVE-driven too.
Exception to that might be a servers like Blackrock and Kel’Thuzad back in the day because the top Arena players were there. Otherwise it seems to be about raiding.
After all the comments and threads about TBC and WotLK, I can still see most players being happy with the sentiments in the original post from this earlier thread:
Even Vanillataur would be happy if he was guaranteed to never have to deal with PVP on the server, a concern of a few people, I am sure (even me).
A streamlined system with unique identities for its players.

Meh. Maybe. I’m not sure that long-lived servers are really the way to go though. I think they’d probably do more if they figured out what to do with characters that have progressed past Classic Era.
cata is anything but classic, is old… its 4th expansion… but not classic.

Very pleased to see and hear that many of you true classic fans come on to these forums. And share same thoughts that the 3 = Classics and anything past it marks the era of Retail WOW, as well how we all felt bad the game was going in wrong direction as soon Cata came out…
Playing Cata classic literally causes PTSD seeing our favorite 3 Expansion and Lore Story line crumble to pieces and become retail. Causing me personally Anxiety attacks because blizz only can cater to crying community that wants new content every Month…
As well make you want to cry all the adventures your current characters went through is being wiped with simplified stats and all old world quest items keys important sentimental items all marked legacy or simply removed…
Game is nothing past the Lich King it is all nonsense lore wise and caters for the modern Teenager gamer.

Just keep Classic Era and then have a progressive server that starts over on vanilla after every cycle of Vanilla > TBC > Wrath.
At the end of the vanilla portion of the cycle players can transfer for free off the progression realm onto a classic era realm.

Lich King game design wise is the absolute worst of Classic. The setting, lore, and introduction of the DK class carried an expansion with inferior gameplay mechanics and systems than Vanilla and TBC.
Now Wrath Classic… The Greek alphabet dungeons for Wrath Classic were also a terrible idea that I think they introduced because they realized without them the servers would be shut down.
WotLK is a very different game from Vanilla and TBC. Aside from the story arc being from WC3 it doesn’t have much in common. There are some good things about WotLK but overall it is just a really different game and that’s why I don’t consider it “Classic”.
Classic to me has more to do with game mechanics, itemization and pace. Classic is a blue item from heroic dungeons that is BiS for tanks on one or two fights, and items that while hard to get last forever.
Literally on the day of the original 3.0.x patch as a Protection Warrior it was like playing a different game. At first that seemed kinda awesome, but when it dawned on me that the skill of holding a threat lead against good DPS basically been deleted/obsoleted from the game I was kind of disgruntled about for a good while to be honest.
Anyway, TBC let’s go!

I don’t think you understood the context of this response. The person I responded to was claiming pvp servers became monofaction because people were trying to escape world pvp. My point was PvE servers becoming monofaction at the same time debunks this argument, people were mass transferring for reasons nothing to do with pvp.
