It’s a foregone conclusion that a TBC server will happen. And saying it’s more than a year away seems excessive. AQ is in what…two weeks? Say we get 3-4 months of that and then Naxx. You think it’ll be 8-9 months past Naxx before a TBC server comes out?
They’ve done most of the legwork already, so releasing a TBC server will be much easier than the initial Classic release. My hope is we’re looking spring next year at the latest.
