Nothing less than a blizzard executive personally coming to his house, getting down on hands and knees, and begging him to purchase the clone would have been sufficient.
And frankly, more than likely, he still wouldn’t have cloned and still would be here complaining about missing out on the cloning service.
No reason it cant come back.
As I understand it, Blizzard has stated that the data has now been deleted. If the data no longer exists, that’s a pretty good reason it can’t come back.
They also said the data for there to even be a classic version of the game was deleted as well 
I told you that I did not clone - I CHOOSE not to, and kept all my characters except 2 in Era. Ergo, I do not plead for myself.
I only tell how I experienced it.
The emails coming out during TBC Classic did not once speak of Clones in the subject line, they spoke of coming up sales, about the new Retail expansions (deleted on sight as I do not - and did not - play Retail), pets and seasonal sales. IF I had not been playing at that time, and read the Forums, I would never had found out the cloning was about to close down. Not even the discount on clones were announced in the subject line.
I don’t know what is a “Moral Agency” that I lack, sorry if my lack of language skills is betrayed here. And as I am not in these forums to have my moral integrity or intellect, sanity or whatever insulted by you, I am not going to answer any more of your debasing post.
Which is why they remade it using the Legion server software as they didn’t have the original code, which was 15 years old anyway, come on keep up.
The data exists somewhere. Thanks though. Try to keep up.
and your proof of that is…?
This same guy has three posts going at someone for typing ect and not etc as if it actually matters (even though that’s extremely petty). Basically, he wants a fight. He also really does not want clones back because every time someone talks about them he starts posting aggressively about it. He even started demanding bank statements from someone to be posted on the forums…
I cloned my characters and even knew about the $5 sale but I can see both sides.
If they did send one email like that the complaints would be that they didn’t send two or three or a dozen.
It doesn’t matter what Blizz did or didnt do when most people on the one side of this refuse to accept any personal accountability whatsoever and paint themselves as victims of an evil clone conspiracy purposefully enacted to rob them of their collective birthright.
Its like Kraz said, we went down this rabbit hole already and Blizz is more or less at fault for not sending personalized, hand written letters, delivered in person alerting former, non paying subscribers that they were terminating the service permanently with the release of Wrath Classic.
Its backed up in the cloud lol
I don’t think so.
I just think that when they can send us a host of emails about precious Dragonflight, seasonal pets and sales on whatever in Retail, why they could not send one email pertaining to the end to a service - and the discount of said service.
I do NOT say that people are totally innocent. They could in most cases have read a bit deeper, but neither is ActiBlizz innocence incarnate. The termination of a service is according to me a thing that calls for larger types than the Spring-fling Rabbit in Retail.
I promise they have it somewhere. Even if they dont know it right now.
wrong. free transfers to classic era were available. 
The premise is that players were somehow robbed through Blizzard’s decision to terminate the service otherwise they would have no reason to complain - yet here we are.
Blizzard did not keep this a secret and kept current players in the know about what was transpiring with the games and services going forward. Nobody was being deceived or robbed of their characters. They even lowered the price to show how sincere they were about the move.
If you were total radio silence on the Classic front for a protracted period that’s not Blizzard’s fault. There isn’t a single legitimate criticism that excuses players from not taking advantage of it. You screwed up, not Blizzard.
The fact that we’re sitting here talking about what they could have done through emails is just more confirmation that these guys are grasping at straws. Its embarrassing at this point if Im being honest.
One last answer:
I did not “screw up”. I voluntarily kept my toons in Era. I played the whole time. I read mails from Blizz. I did NOT see any email targetting this issue, but many on seasonal pets and discount on either SL or DF. I repeat:
So IF some persons (not you, not I) did not play, did not see this, they were not totally to blame.
I think Blizz could - and incidentally should - have made this termination of service a subject matter for at least one email, which they did not.
I did not mean the literal *You. No need to take it personally.
That’s your opinion, which you are totally free to state but Ill just remind you that it’s totally irrelevant and doesn’t absolve anyone for not buying a clone since they had plenty of opportunity to do so. They chose not to.
The end.

I am not wrong. I said that you likely had to pay for it. I phrased it that way because the vast majority of players were about to transition to TBC. If you wanted to stay with your guild, your friends, or just enjoy your character in TBC all alone you had to pay to clone your character over to the classic era servers.
