Question:
When deciding to carry a character forward onto the TBC classic, will items in the mailbox follow?
Same question if I decide to have a character remain in classic. ( I feel like this is less likely as it is a server migration where as current classic servers are continuing into TBC)
I would say no.
Normally mail prevents transfer.
Most likely yes since you won’t be transferring to a TBC server.
If I’m remembering correctly, characters will be snapshotted and a copy of the snapshot will be on both the progressive and era servers. So, I am thinking the snapshot will included mail.
There is no transfer.
There is no transfer. Your character gets to keep everything (including mail), whether your character continues on a TBC server or continues on a Classic-Only server.
They will double the servers, so if there are 35 now there will be 35 in the TBC-only game and 35 in the classic-only game. They are different games, with different logins.
If you choose to do both (for an extra price) each character gets everything: mail, armor, gold, everything. But they are on different servers in different games. so there is no way to abuse that.
- A clone is a snapshot copy of your WoW Classic character taken right before the Burning Crusade Classic pre-patch
- Includes your inventory, items in the bank, items in the mailbox, and friends list
EDIT: The only thing that gets “taken away” are Guilds. This is ONLY if you choose to remain in Classic, according to that same Link.
- Characters activated on a Classic Era realm are all guild-less, including Guild Masters. On Classic Era realms, all guilds must be recreated
EDIT 2: Though, I wonder how that works, in my situation because I plan to only have one of my Classic Characters in BC, but she’s not the GM, my bank toon is, and I plan to have that Bank Toon, remain in Classic.
Oh, man. That’s going to cause some drama.
Couchy
I suspect the answer is that she will find herself in a guild where the GM is a permanently inactive character.
I would strongly suggest you make your going-to-BC character the guildmaster before the end of the month.
i love it when people make posts instead of reading
That never happens here.
I can see this being a problem for Perma BC with the introduction of Guild Banks and all…wonder how they’ll deal with that.
Did it. My “main”, that I’m copying is GM of the Guild, now.
Good plan. That said, I’m puzzled–I thought you planned on recreating your guild as all blood elves; having an Alliance guild named Charmed in BC will not help with that.
It’s why I use Alt Commands, and I am Belfing. I still want one at least the one Alliance Toon I “mained” and made many memories on, in BC for those who are planning to BC as Alliance still. That way I can “remain in the loop” with them. That’s why only ONE is going into BC (well, being copied to be in BOTH places), and the others that I have are going to remain in Classic (and I’m NOT copying them for BC).
Which is why I’m happy about this line:
- You can hide deactivated clones from your character selection screen. However, a deactivated clone still counts against your total character limit on your realm
- You can delete and undelete clones as any other character
That way my deactivated Classic Toons on the BC list won’t be “taking up” Characters Slots, when I go to make my Belves 
I still am “freshing” in BC because my “main” is Alliance and not Horde, so Horde side is still going to be completely “fresh”.
