How to win the expac war

the two new races be neutral

I really don’t care what your reasonings are behind this idea (I did read it), that’s a HUGE change in the way BC played, making it not BC, anymore. Blood Elves are a Horde Race, and Draenei are Alliance. They’re not Neutral Races.

@anon3563431

Beta begins with a level cap of 15, and progresses by 10 levels until a final cap of 55

This doesn’t help test Outlands Content, which you must be at least level 58, for.

Fresh Start

While I don’t mind “fresh” BC Servers, you contradict yourself, the further I read your thread. You say this:

@anon3563431

rather than boosting in any form

Then this:

@anon3563431

Players have an unlimited option of starting characters at level 58 (possibly gated daily)

Um, what?

@anon3563431

All vanilla flight paths will be unlocked

I understand your thought process behind this (if we’re starting at 58) because that’s how it is with DKs and DHs, but we’re changing how BC is played, now. Your idea isn’t BC, at all.

@anon3563431

(OPTIONAL) Dungeons will be accessible for leveling in lieu of the mess in Hellfire.

What?

@anon3563431

who goes through the portal first is to add a cost for early entry.

@anon3563431

where players would pay the standard transfer rate of $25

Uh…no?

@anon3563431

Something must be done to stymy the flood, so that congestion does not destroy the day one TBC experience for transfer characters

1. That’s why they invented Layering, and 2. What character transfers? From where to where?

@anon3563431

Classic WoW vanilla character transfers should happen by character copy

Um, there should be NO connection between Classic and BC. Keep them separate and divided. This should not be in the hands of the players. If anybody is copying characters, it should be Blizz. Here’s what I suggest:

@Piper-shadowsong

Blizzard will Copy everyone’s progress (on the Classic Servers, if they have any). Then, they will Paste it over onto their BC Servers. Anyone who did NOT start in Classic but wants to play in BC WILL have to start at level 1, if they want to play the BC version of WoW. Just like I had to, when I began my WoW journey, in BC. I had no character that was pre-BC. If you’re post-BC but want to play BC, that is what you will have to do. And, Classic will remain as is.

OR

Blizzard will Copy everyone’s progress (on the Classic Server, if they have any). Then, they will Paste it over onto their “new” Classic Servers. While they progress the Classic Servers (as they are, now) onto BC. And, the “new” Classic Servers, will be that: Classic. Again, if you didn’t play pre-BC, you don’t get the luxury of having a max level character (in this case, a level 60) to go play in Outlands with. You must start at level 1 in either version, of the game. Unless it’s the Standard Version then just pay real life money for a Boost.

If all else fails, I wouldn’t mind their BC Servers being “fresh”.

I wholeheartedly disagree with your idea, COMPLETELY.
