There are obviously some changes necessary for TBC

copy character data on tbc release night, paste character data to corresponding tbc server, everyone keeps everything nobody loses anything everyone is happy. no stupid gold cap, no stupid “u can transfer if you want to” just copy paste. literally all you have to do. anything else is just banter at this point.

Wrong because you make the classic servers a ghost town of copies. Has to be either transfers to TBC or from TBC back to classic that way blizzard can properly gauge server populations. Copies produces a lot of problems for the base server.

either case the logic step is the following…

4 Things are going to happen post Naxx.

Spoiler Alert

1. All Servers will progress to TBC
2. Classic Stasis servers will open for people who want to Transfer their characters back to a stasis server of their choice.
3. Fresh Classic servers open (as needed) (non character transfers)
4. Fresh TBC servers open (as needed) (non character transfers)

This keeps the community the most intact and allows players to choose what they want to play while allowing blizzard to properly gauge true server populations.

Lets face it no one wants to play on a dead server and that will be the best way to proceed on a large scale.
