Do Blizzard intent to launch new server before wotlk?

[Dagøbert-zuljin]

Seriously Blizzard , people actually benefit from the 50% buff, people that already have lot of money and toon while people that want a fresh start or just came back for wotlk are still waiting to start a toon. Not only they waste time not benefit from the buff but I wonder if any 1 on theses news server will be able to reach lvl 70 before wotlk launch. This is ridiculous.

you want a new server AND the buff?

seriously? that completely ruins the point of new server.

[Warmoth-bleeding-hollow]

The people that are starting on fresh have a lot more to do to get ready for Wrath then you do or anybody else that’s already on it existing server… Quality of life TEMPORARY buff… You act like it’s going to last forever… I bet you got to enjoy the buff…

I believe it was stated that they’re launching the fresh servers when pre-patch comes.

[Holytemplar-illidan (Holytemplar)]

That is for SOM 2 servers where a new set of SOM servers are rumored to be launched. No new TBC servers are going to be.

[Heydownthere-arugal]

There are going to be fresh servers for TBC going into WotLK that are planned to be added in pre-patch.

These realms will be Wrath of the Lich King Classic realms from day one, so when they launch, they’ll have all of the talent trees and player abilities coming with Wrath of the Lich King Classic, but all players will start new characters at level 1.

@Kaivax

With the launch of the Wrath of the Lich King Classic pre-patch, we intend to open “Fresh Start” realms for players who wish to experience starting a new character and playing alongside a new community of others.
