I appreciate the post, but I do not think he claiming what you think he is. That is a thread about a crossover between RETAIL and classic, not classic’s continuation to a BC server.
Was it? I don’t recall that ever being a goal stated by Blizzard.
Pretty sure I understand my position just well.
Again, I’m not saying its a definitive, no one knows. However, what I AM saying is they have denied any crossover between Retail and Classic. One, just one, of their lines of reasoning was… wait for it…
So. In the event they didn’t have transfers it wouldn’t be completely out of the blue. I wouldn’t mind a copy/transfer of some sort either, but that’s just my preference.
I’ll say what I think again.
Bolded the part that I think. I’m just playing all the sides of possibility here. Don’t get too stuck on one idea.
There’s multiple blue post detailing how there will be no cross over between Retail and Classic. They could apply that same logic to anything as stated before, they feel Classic should stay with Classic. So if they didn’t want to allow Classic to TBC, they have said before that Classic is just for Classic.
I don’t think that they’ll actually follow this line of thinking, as I think they will allow a copy or transfer of some sort. If they don’t though, this is why I won’t be shocked.
But you’re using that post to justify not copying characters to BC, WHEN THAT POST IS DISCUSSING RETAIL AND CLASSIC, NOT CLASSIC’S CONTIUATION. It can not be used for anything else.
We can leave it as no one knows though, I agree.

That quote is absolutely not relevant. It’s talking about copying stuff earned in Classic Vanilla to your Retail account. Not about keeping Classic Vanilla completely separate from a possible Classic TBC.
If they release TBC again it will still be Classic. There will be Classic Vanilla and Classic TBC, most likely they will keep some some servers Vanilla for people who want to stay back. But most people will likely go on to Classic TBC, it was a very popular expansion.
So it makes sense for people to go on to TBC by default, just like the first time, but allowing a copy to a Vanilla realm. That way the smaller Vanilla population can consolidate and continue to play.

I do agree we don’t know.
Above is one quote.
They could apply this to TBC transfer/copies.
That is taken out of context, and they would just call burning crusade, classic BC.

Only because the information they have given us on a Classic to TBC transfer is limited.

Which is not relevant. It’s talking about linking Retail and Classic, not Classic Vanilla and Classic expansions. The quote does not apply in any way.
I’m making predictions. Its okay for people to do this, economies are built on this line of thinking.
You can make predictions, do not quote Blizzard posts OUT OF CONTEXT to prove them.
Yes, you can speculate, I agree there. But the quote is not relevant even towards that speculation. It’s apples and oranges.

I agree but i dont see how else to avoid gold manipulation on character copies. Keep in mind - if you can copy it, you can just borrow all the gold you can from your guild for an hour, copy the character over then send the gold to an alt, copy it over and the cycle continues. This would over saturate the market. Before you say “no one would do that” - yes… yes they most certainly would.
I’m not proving anything. I’ve stated half a dozens times how this is an idea they could use on denying transfers.
WE DON’T KNOW ANYTHING I AM GUESSSING, IF THAT OFFENDS YOU I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
I’m not going to requote my self again. Please read.
Other then a survey we have no idea. I use previous lines of thinking and apply it the best I can to future discussions that we haven’t had yet.
Whats your approach on projecting things like this? Bones?
I also stated half a dozen times that I think they will allow a copy/transfer.
BUT IN THE CASE THEY DON’T HERE IS A PAST QUOTE BACKING THE IDEA.
If every character is a snapshot of the same point in time and you can only copy once then you can’t take advantage of that to duplicate.
Say you give all your gold to one character and then the snapshot happens. Now you copy over two characters to the new server. You only ever get the gold they have at the snapshot time, no matter who has it.
There would be fresh servers as well as “continued” servers.
The 4 fresh servers I gave as an example is a starting point, if blizzard sees more demand for more fresh servers, they can adjust.
You can only copy once is good with me, he was saying that his alts should be able to go too and i was explaining why i felt this was a bad idea economically. Snap shot might work also. Not sure how they would implement it so cant say for sure.
Alts are fine as long as they are from a frozen snapshot with one copy per character. I can’t foresee a way to exploit that.
Im going to make this super simple so there is no confusion.
Classic servers stay classic.
TBC fresh servers phase 1 dark portal closed only new characters start
One week before dark portal opens allow current subscribers the option to transfer their classic characters to TBC servers with no gold.
This ensures
-Classic stays classic but you can still progress
-Fresh servers on each different expansion whether TBC or WRATH
-new subscribers wont feel behind
-current subscribers can continue their character copies while keeping same characters in prior games.
-Different Classic servers wont be tampered with and remain with their integrity
whats not to like about this?
This is the proverbial i got my cake and im eating it too.
I do not like it because I do not want to level multiple characters every expansion. What is not to understand? It is wasted days.
