Should classic wow be replaced by TBC?

Those things have no more significance or relevance to the vanilla experience than anything else. What may have been will never be what was. The vanilla experience is set in stone. It has been written into history and cannot change.

If you want more you want a different game. If you want more Classic content then advocate for separate BC servers.

This isn’t WoW: 2, or WoW: The 2nd Attempt, or WoW: This Time We’ll Get It Right. It’s WoW: Classic. It’s WoW: vanilla.

Nah, they’re releasing this version for a reason with progression for a reason. Make fresh servers to restart the progression, make TBC servers you can copy your char to if you so choose, but do not replace classic servers.

43

This 100%. Also, flying mounts ruined the “world” feel of Vanilla. It wasn’t finding a way to the other continent and trekking across zones anymore. It was mounting up and flying to Netherstorm… no chance at world PvP or even running into mobs.

44

Classic first. We can worry about TBC after Phase 6. But, in no way should we be forced to “upgrade” to TBC.

45

But its the “vanilla experience” :wink:

46

Agreed let TBC run for a long time then move into WOTLK.

If they would Fix S5 DKS I would enjoy WOTLK if not then stay with TBC

47

The point of getting it back in the first place is that it was replaced.

I’d play a BC server if they made one of course but replaced? Heck no.

48

Go read a government issued history book and do your own research on a VPN from multiple different countries if you think that is true.

We are human, we forget a lot of things like having to drink after every buff or two. Or Warlock pets being unsummoned when you start summoning another one. Your memories are probably all wrong as well like the vast majority of people.

What I would like to eventually see happen, maybe in a couple of years, is an option to be able to copy your Classic characters to a BC-enabled realm. Likewise, a few years after that, be able to copy your characters to a Wrath-enabled realm.

I don’t think we need to have legacy realms extend further than Wrath. Cata is often considered the turning point where modern WoW began (for better or worse).

Note I said character copy, not migrate or move. I believe that there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to keep Classic-locked characters around while still being able to send a copy to BC/Wrath or just re-roll there.

Of course, all of this hinges on how successful Classic is going to be. I would imagine success is going to be measured based on the subscription count. If the WoW sub count sees large gains or at least maintains over the years to come, then that may be considered successful enough to justify the non-trivial effort of migrating BC and Wrath to modern infrastructure as they’re doing with Classic.

No, they should not be replaced. There is absolutely no reason to do it this way. They SHOULD however make servers for those other expansions that cycle through their patch cycles, but moving a character from one expansion to the next would be a one way trip to a completely separate server.

51

Mhmm. Yeah. That’s why we have things like video recordings and database backups.

That’s one of the more flammable strawmen I’ve seen in a while.

52

I mean realistically, Private Servers are VERY inaccurate and a lot of you no changes players didn’t play Classic and religiously play Private Servers.

53

That’s cool. I don’t care.

I played vanilla starting from launch day in November 2004. And I never played a private server for more than like 15 minutes.

So what’s your point? Even if I did play a lot on private servers so what? That has nothing to do with what Classic is meant to be.

54

No Alice they should not be replaced. They should release stand alone static Classic TBC servers and then static Classic Wrath after Classic Classic has ran for 2-3 years.

55

I’m at a loss as to why people even suggest this.
Nobody asked for chronological re-releases of the expansions.

We wanted Vanilla WoW to come back. Permanently.
That is all.

56

I’ll one up this entire thread…

Should tbc be replaced by classic wow?

57

Well we had to get vanilla first. If we went straight to wrath they would be a change.

Full class revamps to the point of refunding talent points for every single class, every race having an individual riding skill that was converted to a general riding skill in 1.11, no buyback from vendors, the list goes on.
