New content down the line would be great, HOWEVER
You should be incredibly concerned with those who advocate for fresh servers completely separate from the ones we are currently playing on. This has been an ongoing cycle for years on ALL illegal/private servers. Our current characters and progress will essentially be deleted. No one wants to play on the ‘‘old’’ realms, not old players and definitely not new ones. Though you will be told all servers will remain healthy and other such nonsense, it never plays out that way. The population dwindles to about 200 people at peak times until the decision is finally made to shut off the server completely.
A ‘‘fresh start’’ and the hype surrounding it brings the player population up considerably for a few months, it’s basically a commercial for whatever server does it.
These people want your progress deleted so they can level to 50 and then quit. It seems pretty crazy, psychotic even, but yes these people do exist. They truly believe that the small amount of socialization you can get from grouping while leveling is all the game has to offer. They will happily watch your characters disappear just so they can have more people within the open world to interact with.
Do not get them confused with those asking for classic+

I’ve yet to see a good idea come from IP theft servers.

Also, if you’ve been wondering why people are consistently making threads on low level bfa alts talking about how they feel left behind, or ‘‘started too late’’
it’s the same people. It is the same memes every time.

I think it still stems from the issue with layering early on. Many people exploited this and stockpiled mats from that. Massive gold farming has caused inflation from that as well. Myself I would not mind at all. I would even want a new server that did not allow add ons. I would play that.

What? Layering?
Okay so level again, right now. It’s been removed. It’s not about that though, you just want me to be leveling too.

if blizzard wants to keep that private server player money they will launch some fresh start servers to keep them subbed.

would you be forced to move to a fresh server? If so ya then it is a bunk idea. Just make New fresh servers, leave the old ones.
Ok, I admit, I just skimmed the OP. Its not what I thought and seems I am talking about a separate issue. My tired eyes fooled me. Sorry.
Which is ridiculous. Classic isn’t going anywhere. Your progress won’t be reset by an upcoming expansion. There is no such thing as “starting too late” on Classic. Even if you started late or re-rolled, you will eventually catch up.

As explained in the OP, yes. I will be forced to go to that new server or stop playing. Obviously? It’s not a different version of the game either, it’s the same game just with all my stuff gone there are no parallels here with bfa/classic so don’t try that argument. And to the guy saying blizzard has to do this for money reasons… they have plenty of other options that don’t delete everything I have worked for
I did not come here to argue. I just wanted to make people aware that you are currently trying to hijack classic+ movement
We can get new content without deleting my stuff. Goodbye

After I clear naxx I want to start over from scratch on a fresh server.

There are plenty of realms to choose from. Feel free to start over whenever you want.
Problem is you want everyone else to start over from scratch, and not everyone wants that.
I, for one, didn’t play private servers solely because they constantly got shut down and I had to keep starting over. The permanence is why I wanted Classic in the first place.

If there are fresh servers there should only be a few on a specific schedule, there should be preservation of current servers, and they should be linked in no way to current servers.
Lolno.
It’s not happening. go back to your illegal servers

I never played private servers, so there’s that.
But new servers are enjoyable, and attract more/new players.
Stay 
fresh = reroll on a server new to you
smell you later freshie
I wouldn’t mind them creating new servers that you couldn’t transfer characters too for a fresh start. Phase 1 was the most fun I had in classic so far, but I do not want to lose my progress.
I can see it now: Blizzard fires up a new server. The factions will be imbalanced and it will have a relatively low population, as most players wouldn’t be interested in starting over. Then the folks on that server would blame Blizzard for setting them up for failure.
Agree with you OP.
Happens every time.
Guild is part of the way through naxx or almost done with AQ40, new fresh realm rolls out, 10-20 players off the raid team quit and reroll because the meta of private servers revolves around the never-ending race to be “first” or near-first on the realm. Guild is therefor dead, recruiting pool is gone because many other players have done the same. Community destroyed, drama everywhere. Sure a few guilds may not have this happen to them, but the significant quantities where it does happen cannot be ignored.
A huge appeal of Classic is that such freshcuckery won’t happen.
