Nah. Fact is, I love TBC as much as anyone, and I look forward to it as much as anyone. But if they rush to TBC, then they’ll rush to Wrath, and then Cata, then MoP etc.
By rushing it, you’re just ending this whole thing sooner. Why do that? Just have fun in this museum piece
how will you mid max it with out world buff thos 
your logic is highly flawed then. IF announced at Blizzcon… which I do think it will be there will then need to be a beta so they can test server loads. not only that but TBC launches with a few raids already in the game so those will need to be tested as well. TBC actually has more to test than Classic did, and Classic testing went on for almost all summer. We are looking at a summer release for TBC… possibly END of summer.
Also I think they are gonna let Naxx breath this time and give players the chance to complete it and get it on farm. That was a mistake they admitted they made with vanilla to tbc, I don’t think they want to make the same mistake twice.
announce in feb, beta in march, launch in may
dude I literally laughed out loud.
I will be back when they announce the launch date to gloat
make sure you bookmark the post, want me to do the same?
yup /10 character
They can’t make this same mistake twice.
At this point in Vanillas life cycle, TBC was already on the horizon and that’s not the case this time as TBC hasn’t really been mentioned at all.
I’d bet more people have already gotten further in Naxx in the couple weeks it’s been open in Classic then did back in 06-07 the 5+ months it was up in Vanilla prior to TBC.
which is exactly why they can’t hold it until summer/late summer. 2 months from now it will get announced and it will have to come quick to avoid loss of subs.
I disagree, the sub count already dropped, the players still playing classic is no where near launch numbers of classic, the ones that remain many of them are doing it for mainly Naxx. So Blizz can launch TBC whenever they want, everyone will come back whenever they do.
It was like 7 months. And guilds are obviously clearing it far faster than they did in Vanilla. I don’t see the time being any longer than what happened in Vanilla. Simply because everything has been sped up at least a bit.
The fact they haven’t announced TBC means very little. They’ve already said the dirty work has been done and creating a TBC server will be much easier than Classic was. I don’t think it’ll take much external testing at all. I definitely see an announcement in Feb at Blizzcon. Maybe start Beta shortly after that. I think we’ll be playing TBC before summer or maybe early summer next year.
I’d bet money that we get an announcement at Blizzcon.
I’m convinced we even get the beta at Blizzcon.
I didn’t deny this at all, no doubt they will announce TBC at blizzcon but what I think many people are getting wrong is how fast it’s gonna come after the announcement. I’ve seen people say beta for a month then it will be out… seriously many are putting their expectations too high. Simply cuz they want TBC badly since it was many people’s favorite time in the game.
No bad ideas there is a hurry release tbc as soon as possible.
Why rush. You’re still paying.
It’s due to the content drought that will follow after the end of Naxx. Let’s say Naxx last 6 months, that gives us till May before there’s nothing left to do in terms of new content in WoW.
Which is why I don’t think Classic will continue after May for months on end with no new content to experience. A retail expansion on average lasts 2 years, so I’d expect Classic to follow a similar trajectory.
I think TBC Classic will be released anywhere between April to July next year.
Nah let me catch up a bit just started playing last month.
as a paladin you will prefer TBC anyway
True dat. Still enjoying tho.
