TBC Needs to Be Fresh And Separate from Classic

not any more so than pve or pvp options do.

i sure did. love classic, but adore with my whole heart, tbc

I don’t appreciate the assumption. It’s what was automatically selected from the last time I posted, which was during BFA. I have a 60 orc rogue on Rattlegore.

OP is actually correct imo.
The only way to truly preserve Classic, and keep those players that don’t want TBC happy is to keep them 100% separate.

Good for you. Doesn’t change the fact you still haven’t posted on it, and that it doesn’t even matter if you do play Classic because what you want isn’t what everyone wants.

I guarantee that people would prefer progression to forced fresh.

Sure, open up specific Classic-only servers that you can transfer your characters to and progress the rest of the servers.

You don’t know what people want either. No more than I do, and you shouldn’t say so.

I can guarantee people who want TBC will be unhappy having to start over, especially if they’ve worked for R14, Scarab Lord, and are clearing Naxx.

And I’d argue that after over a year of Classic, and being in P6, there are more people wanting to keep their characters going into TBC than those who want to stagnate in P6.

Let the player decide. If they are done with Classic, let them transfer those toons off to a tbc separate realm. No sense in forcing them to remain in Classic when they want to play TBC.

Give the player OPTIONS.

i think most want wotlk, followed by tbc. i prefer tbc to wotlk, though there are some awesome wotlk features, such as humans getting emfh, and night elves getting in-combat shadowmeld.

What if there are more people wanting TBC than wanting to stay in Classic? Would they open up more servers than Classic has to accommodate them? What about server communities?

Classic server communities are untouched if you create separate tbc servers that they can transfer to.

If someone wants to transfer or copy a toon to tbc, let them!

The amount of classic vs tbc vs retail servers is irrelevant. You could spin up 1000 tbc servers, doesn’t impact Classic.

Classic will survive just fine.

The point is retaining server communities instead of having the bulk of them transfer off. Anyone who believes the majority of players would prefer stagnating in P6 Classic forever just isn’t thinking logically.

A fresh Classic server might, as this lets people actually interested in Classic progress again, but I doubt an eternal P6 server would have more than a sparse ghost town population after even just another 6 months.

Classic launched fresh and on an equal playing field for all players who played it at launch. It is only natural that TBC follows the same suit and in the same way.

There’s already an equal opportunity. You have as much time until launch to farm whatever you want to do. If you want to reroll, well that’s accurate to TBC launch, isn’t it?

Are you suggesting that your proposed changes to TBC are appropriate?

No. We’re progressing to tbc.

You’re missing the point though. I’m not here to asscert my ideas over others, I’m simply pleading my case for a fresh, seperate experience.

I understand you would like to take your classic character progression with you, but you don’t understand the impact of doing so to the rest of the player base who choose not to. A fresh start fixes the imbalance of people buying a transfer to gain level advantage over others who can’t or wouldn’t.

and will have museum classic vanilla servers also. to protect their vanilla ip and provide a place for hard core vanilla fans

Fresh and Xfer over servers would be best. Cannot xfer between both until a late phase.

Any transferring between game versions would destabilize both game version’s population, economy, pvp, raiding, etc.

I agree with you, but I feel very unlikely that blizzard will lock these realms from ever having an xfer.
