TBC Leveling

Why?
Put TBC on the new host, leave the people in classic alone, dont touch their stuff.

Please stop fixating on the old Classic Server progressing over to BC. And read this part:

@Amillea-wyrmrest-accord

The Classic Server Data (as in everyone’s characters, progress, guilds, etc.) gets cloned (one-time, only upon the release of TBC) over to a new server host. That new server host is the new “Classic Server” option.

^ This is still a Classic Server option. Classic is not ceasing to exist. And those who want to progress their Characters into BC, can still to do so, when the old Classic Server progresses to BC. It’s not complicated.

@Gythriel-windseeker

Where could you enter BWL on classic release day?

Which is why it should’ve been available, when Classic launched. These phases give this false interpretation that Classic is some form of “progression” game. It’s not.

@Gythriel-windseeker

Is it a different game?

Yes. Again, Blood Elves, Draenei, Jewelcrafting, Guild Banks? Where can I access this, in Classic?

@Gythriel-windseeker

MMO’s evolve, generally anyways.

But the point of Classic is not to evolve.

@Gythriel-windseeker

Yes retail evolved in what most of us here feel were destructive ways that all but wrecked the past, but it is still WoW, not another game or WoW2.

No, TBC is World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade. Retail is World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. They’re all named differently making them different versions of the game. They’re two different games.

@Gythriel-windseeker

You already did, and so did i.
Well ok, maybe you did not if you did not play in vanilla, but i did.
And that same character is standing someplace now in in retail.
(i think in the middle of the woods someplace)
He has in his possession objects that could only have come from vanilla because they no longer exist.
He has objects that could only have been gotten at the opening of AQ.
And yet there he stands in retail, because he is still in the same game.
It just evolved around him in a way he was not happy with.

That’s not a Character Copy. I want the characters I created in Classic (not Vanilla) over to Retail. Where can I do that?

@Gythriel-windseeker

Probably not, but for technological reasons

I’m assuming because they’re different games, and those Private Servers are hosting certain versions/styles of the game. That’s just a guess, though.

@Gythriel-windseeker

Because of how you are saying it
It reminds me of thinking in dutch then speaking it in english, literally, and the phrasing is all wrong and everyone else looks at you strange.

No, you’re taking what I’m saying out of context. You’re so fixated on the sentence “the old Classic Server progresses over to BC”, that you completely disregard this point of my post:

@Amillea-wyrmrest-accord

The Classic Server Data (as in everyone’s characters, progress, guilds, etc.) gets cloned (one-time, only upon the release of TBC) over to a new server host. That new server host is the new “Classic Server” option.

I’ll paste it, again, just in case you want to keep cutting this part out:

@Amillea-wyrmrest-accord

The Classic Server Data (as in everyone’s characters, progress, guilds, etc.) gets cloned (one-time, only upon the release of TBC) over to a new server host. That new server host is the new “Classic Server” option.

EDIT: And why progress the old (keyword here) Classic Server host over to BC?

@Amillea-wyrmrest-accord

So those that just want to play in Outlands, as soon as TBC releases, can. And those that want to start fresh, can do so, as well. And, those interested in playing both Classic and BC (raises hand) have those same options to progress their “Classic” characters or create a new a character.
