TBC - Burning Crusade - Peaceful Transition

Number 2 is silly and won’t happen. The default position won’t be to force players to transfer their characters BACK to a Classic server. It’ll be the other way around. Inherently your character will remain on a capped 60 Classic server. It will take action on the players’ part to move them to a TBC server…if that’s even an option.

I continue to say keeping the games completely separate is the best course of action. Classic servers, TBC servers, and eventually Wrath servers.

The Transfers only make sense if they go downward and I will tell you why.

(if) you made transfers up there is always a chance that the server(s) that you transferred off from would be diminished greatly in population where you would need to again transfer to another classic server or do server merging (more work for blizzard to do)

Where as if you do the transfers downward you can funnel together all the players whom want to stay playing on classic eternal and there would not ever need to be any issues with low pop servers due to a lot of people progressing. Ensures strong populations grouped together. Better to have 5 high population servers than 40 low population servers.

With that being said the smart choice and the logical choice is the transfers downward. Best option to ensure classic only eternal players can play with other classic only eternal players on a classic eternal server.

This is why this is the logical choice

4 Things are going to happen post Naxx.

Spoiler Alert

1. All Servers will progress to TBC
2. Classic Stasis servers will open for people who want to Transfer their characters back to a stasis server of their choice.
3. Fresh Classic servers open (as needed) (non character transfers)
4. Fresh TBC servers open (as needed) (non character transfers)

This keeps the community the most intact and allows players to choose what they want to play while allowing blizzard to properly gauge true server populations.
