Has there been any definitive declaration regarding the fate of TBC-Anniversary at the end of the phases? Is it just rolling over into WOTLK and eventually to Mists of Pandaria again? Or has there been any official notice of a TBC-Era?
Or is Blizz still doing the “Tee-hee, you’ll have to guess!” thing in order to string both sides along?
There’s been no confirmation of what happens afterwards one way or another. We know that Sunwell comes out later this year, but what happens afterwards is anyone’s guess. A lot of people I’ve talked to presume we won’t know definitively what’s going to happen until Blizzcon, assuming they have a big Classic-related announcement there. But even that could be anything.
Thank you for the reply. So it seems it’s this selection:
Disappointing but not unexpected.
I’ll check back in a few months though. In the meantime I’ll continue to not touch TBC.
why’s that?
I think it was stated that this goes to Wrath then ends, but I honestly can’t be bothered to find it or even really hold Blizzard to any statements they make at this point.
It was not, the only thing that was ever stated about Anniversary progression was that it’d go to TBC. They haven’t said one way or another what happens after.
Blizzcon announcement will be that the plus in Classic+ will be a subscription cost increase for classic players.
Because when you have your preferred expansion, the other expansions become boring to play after a while…
i’m already feeling that way about TBC.
i’d play anything up to wrath. i played cata for the first time when it re-released and i didnt like anything after that. i can totally understand that
it’s not that TBC is a bad game; it’s a very descent game…
I just don’t want to be re-doing the same things over and over again only for them to get erased.
Better quit now.
Send me your gold.
I’m still banking on the possibility of Wrath…
If I see that TBC-A is going to be eroded away…
I’ll send it to your Shaman on my friends list.
Bless your heart.
That’s assuming TBC-A ends officially without an era and no Wrath after that…
Don’t get your hopes up.
I’m only sending it if I know that I won’t be coming back…
Like my main stuck in MoP.
But I need it now not in November.
My mailbox is empty.
Please, a little gratitude in the lair.
This is 100 % correct.
And I so understand your position with not playing before you know what we’ll get. I was persuaded by freinds and family. I play along half-heartedly always fearing to be forced into Wrath and Cata once again.
yeah, i regret doing the Rank 14 grind now
I doubt this even goes to WOTLK the way they hinted at something new in the last blizzard event.
The only debate is whether or not WoTLK happens before or during C+ or if it stops with TBC. I think it really depends on how close they are to launching C+ than anything.
I have the opinion not launching WoTLK Anni to cash in on boosts/bundles would be an odd choice, but if they are heavily monetizing C+ out the gate (maybe requiring a purchase to play since it’s a reworked game) they may scrap it. It’s the only way I could see them passing it up, and even then I think they’d send both anyways because they know some people won’t play C+ and will happily throw money at WoTLK; even if WoTLK-A is a complete flop after launch they’ll still have all their bundle/boost sales from it. Free money is free money.
If they do launch WoTLK and it sustains somewhat passable numbers for them I suppose they may just let each expansion ride some more for free sales and stuff, but considering how much the original Classic version has dropped with MoP it’s hard to see Anni surviving that long.
I’m team wrath. Please let it be so.
