I just see not having permanent wrath classic as a net loss in players. But not a net loss in cash. They unfortunately won’t lose enough for it to matter. And unfortunately, only thing that matters anymore in america is money. There used to be alot of other things that mattered to, but that is from a bygone era. Now, working feels ripped straight out of the 1950’s. It really isn’t all that great.
But I still think they should make permanent wrath classic era servers. That is just me tho.

I wouldnt mind wrath era, but I can totally understand their decision. Their house, their rules.
With vanilla classic ending and tbc starting, they opened vanilla era servers and they were empty, everyone transitioned to tbc, very few stayed in vanilla.
That is why I dont blame them.
Warmane is the only answer for players who prefer Wrath. Blizz wants you to play on a private server.
They originally tried to charge thirty dollars to copy your character if you wanted to keep your char on era and also progress to TBC lol
Now prove how you know exactly what Blizzard thinks. oh yeh, you can’t You are just speaking rubbish to try and justify the theft of intellectual property.
They told me directly when they said no Wrath era servers that anyone who wants to continue playing Wrath should do so on private servers.
Are they paying you to simp for them? Or do you just enjoy being a corporate shill in your free time?
Hostilities from a thief. Who would have thought. But then again it is my experience that those that can’t string together two sentences into a coherent argument resort to the attempt at cheap insults.
That is true, then they went to 5$ per character route.
That said, for people who only wanted to stay in vanilla, there was no charge and still very few stayed, only those who wanted both modes had 5$ fee.
Yes, staying in either Vanilla or TBC was free, only if you wanted to have both, you had to pay.
But the point is that the reduced price came too late. People had already given up, guilds were disbanded and so on. Had the cloning been free of charge, or at a reduced price + bundle price from the start, Era would have fared way better.
That is just one big assumption.
Apparently huge vanilla fans suddenly dont like vanilla and going to tbc.
As much as players call corporations greedy, they are not better one bit - they wanted 2 games for price of 1.
but built on talks with people in some guilds I was a menber of, and others too, so maybe a small assuption 
I had myself 20 characters in different guilds, and I just could not defend paying to have those in both versions. So in the end even after the reduced price was announced, I let all but my main stay in Era - very different from what my guildies did.
It is a question of mood swings too, not rational behaviour in such cases, we all more or less follow the mood of the day. My guildies thought me a bit off my rocker fro leaving most behind, but today almost none of them play anymore … for different reasons, but a majority from dissapointment with the directions WoW has taken.
Even at 5$ per character I could not have cloned all of them. … Now I regret not having cloned my main.
This is just me, obviously, but I haven’t logged into era a single time because my characters were deleted. And Blizzard oh so transparently trying to gouge people with a ridiculous $30 price tag on the cloning service turned me and a lot of others off entirely even when the price was reduced.
Games Blizzard doesn’t even have to develop, yes. These low-effort re-releases shouldn’t cost much.
That was pretty ridiculous but I’m guessing that part of that was to make money up front in case they lost money running the servers for too few players.
It’s really more along the lines of blizzard has trillions of dollars, so they can do whatever they want. Even if that thing is completely wrong and illogical. Or illegal.
I just see it as this company not providing a permanent versions of wrath classic officially. Which is stupid. Maybe they will give it to gog gaming or something. Or at least something more official than a bloody private server.
It really doesnt matter how many dollars they have, they belong to shareholders.
Funds allocated to classic cata/wotlk etc are limited, they probably cant surpass the budget.
Illogical, stupid or wrong is a matter of opinion of us players, company and director have some other vision, just like in every buyer-seller relation.
Players will always want as much as possible and B will always offer as less as possible.
Meh I kind of saw the industry heading towards having zero quality in the mid 2010’s. It is incredibly easy to milk, nickel and dime people nowadays. And it shouldn’t be lol. We as the customers, should expect everything we buy from companies, to have quality control. But there isn’t.
Kind of sad we went down that road. Same thing with music. God todays music is terrible. And people today wouldnt know quality if it bit them on the ear.
This is totally in teritorry of individual tastes and opinions, it is very hard to discuss.
For me, WoW has very high quality in many segments, not all ofcourse. Some other guy will totally disagree.
Same goes for quality and music, all that is very subjective, not a good theme for discussions.
Here you sound like old grandpa mourning for stuff from youth.
Exactly, Which version of WoW you prefer is just as much a matter of taste as whick music pleases your ears. And this is exactly why we need to have Era servers for all versions of WoW.
Keep waiting, Cata is a better version of WOTLK.
lol wut?
Warmane? The entire server with all realms combined is smaller than Benediction alone ever was, even towards the end of Wrath.
