No TBC or forced SSF? Then I'll stay on Skull Rock

I don’t see the point in another server, even at the best of times right now the servers aren’t densely populated, splitting them again is just smoothbrain logic as usual.

Agree. As a person who cleared HC Naxx, I see no reason to keep doing HC on fresh. It takes around 20-30 days of playtime to kill Kel’Thuzad with a guild that has never killed him before as a general reference. What’s the point of doing this more than once/twice?

I disagree with “HC always was a road 1-60.” The majority of players are not leveling for the sake of leveling. Their end goal is to participate in high-level thrilling adventures, which are raids.
There should be some update promise, or the current HC hype will end in a few months, like the first wave did.

I mean, that’s why I play but that’s due to limited time and having no friends lol. But the point remains the same, if it’s not going to prog to TBC then there’s literally nothing new other than the AH will be fresh for like a week before the bots move over.

Anyone who’s playing SF like me has no reason to really care. Might as well hang onto what little “Community” there is.

nothing new other than the AH

Yup. That’s precisely the reason I stopped playing HC after clearing Naxx. There was no promise of anything new (TBC) on the horizon.

I will be playing the new Fresh HC server, but I agree with you it shoulda had differences so the community splits appropriately. Such as no Petri, SSF Only, and Progression to TBC.

Blizzard is trying to kill ‘classic’ they regret ever giving us the servers. I wouldnt be surprised if their trying to kill it

It’s definitely on that track, we have so many forks of classic and servers within each fork that anybody new won’t know where to go.

And it’s only going to get worse.

I’d say it’s much worse – that they can’t actually maintain an MMORPG with their current Overlords bearing down on them…

I mean FFS we have Chris Metzen back and we all thought “revival” of WoW.
Big Nope, even he must be pressed for time, and I highly doubt he enjoys Retail over Classic version which is basically a perversion of all things MMORPG at this point.

Blizzard, add TBC progression to the fresh HC server. Don’t overthink it. HC = 1 death. Add code that if you die you can’t get resurrected. Leave everything else the same. Even if you can come up with “reasons” to not do it, just do it and let us players decide if it works or not. You took the “uncharted territory” approach with SoD, right? How bad can it be in HC TBC?2
