This latest Classic survey

Connected realms are terrible. Just merge.

Why are connected realms terrible and a merge so superior? They are basically the exact same thing.

classic+

Classic+ is going to be the Classic we have now plus boosts, WoW tokens, CRZ, hourly world buffs, and a cash shop for end game gear.

They will not, however, change the AV cave situation.

‘Screw it, you guys had your two years. Time to give it a coating of Retail.’

I honestly think we’re all a bunch of guinea pigs made for testing certain marketing ploys. WoW truly has become wholly and utterly a consumer product now and we’re just consumers. Azeroth, its characters, its lore, all of it is just a consumer product, set to the flow of whatever economic algorithms are being set.

I wanted to add this to what I was saying:

SAY NO TO CRZ. If anything merge servers and make people select new names in the process.

CRZ WILL RUIN the social aspect of the game.

[Beautia-azuresong]

CRZ would only happen (well, should…lol) on the servers with low populations. So the server communities are already dead if they need CRZ.

[Museme-kelthuzad]

That’s a good point. But we can still solve low populated realms with realm merging.

[Beautia-azuresong]

That would be done as Connected Realms, not CRZ then.

[Museme-kelthuzad]

So all existing classic realms will have a portion of their populations moving to classic indefinite.

Based on the total amount of players, Blizzard can open new servers to meet that demand. That’s how I’d see it done better than using CRZ. And it wouldn’t be connected realms in the sense that new realms would be made.

[Beautia-azuresong]

If I’m reading you right, you want us to have a choice between shuttled to a Forever Naxx and a Phase 1. I’m perfectly fine with that.

[Mootwo-earthfury]

I’m fine with connected WoW Classic realms as described above, even though I was not happy when my retail realm was merged because it totally killed the small community that server had. Something like a merge (realm connection) probably has to happen for “Classic Era” though, at least at some point because of population.

CRZ the only one who it benefits is Blizzard for not having to have as much infrastructure. There is zero benefit to the players, it just kills the community aspect that WoW Classic needs to have IMO.

Also editing to say that I know my reaction to CRZ is pretty strong. I just really think it’s one of the nails in the coffin for the WoW I used to love turning into something that was like a chore and no longer fun for me. if the population is really that small it’s probably ok, but if it means things like never encountering the same person again when leveling for example, or never seeing them in the world again, I see it as a bad thing.

[Clarrisse-korgath]

They had better not mean CRZ. They probably mean connected realms.

How about leave ONE fresh, untouched, pure, eternal Classic server.

i’m not starting over and losing my progression…sry.

Why do people say such nonsense? Is it trolling? I’m genuinely confused.

But to address this ridiculous post: then don’t play on that server.

@Moobeus-zuljin

Have you not played WoW since they added CRZ?

CRZ is cancer. Connected realms are terrible. Just merge. Oh no, people might lose their names! They’ll deal with it. Having an actual community is far more important.

If I lose my names, I am gone. This happened at SWTOR once and I never played that game again.

My chars are all connected, having to find a new name especially if most are taken, is a no go.

CRZ is a no go as well. It will make it impossible for a casual to get things done like hunting items of rares, mining or picking flowers.

Ever tried to do the Arena quest on CRZ? Say hello to outsiders from other realms being babysitted by level 60s. Good luck ever getting a shot on one of the world bosses, or extremely rare items.

Blizzard should keep things as they are, no need to change anything except for QoL like dual spec or fixing the terrain exploits at BGs.

[Trinsic-emerald-dream]

They have an opportunity to start “fresh” by using the surveys foreshadowed Classic+ servers as their guinea pigs and finally putting an end to the god awful retail game.

Unfortunately, as the consensus goes, no one trusts current blizz to touch Classic.

[Xanthak-durotan (Xanthak)]

I’m going to go on a limb and hope for the best. If they do turn it into Classic+. Who knows they may introduce new gear and a raid re-tune and a dungeon re-tune.

Honestly, even difficulty modes i wouldn’t be against.

Adding seasons as well.

At the end of the day for me, it’s about the community and longevity of Classic.

[Niak-faerlina]

Bring on Classic+

[Cloudmist-rattlegore]

If they do any of that crap I’m outta here.

Nochanges or bust. They said they were fine with empty servers, but constantly try to put in some stupid crz version with different names like connected serverrs, etc… Really annoyed.

Merge few dead servers if you must, but don’t do any of that crap in survey.

[Xanthak-durotan (Xanthak)]

Blizzard lied to our faces multiple times. Can’t say I’m surprised.

I think what they’re doing is trash, but at the same time I’m not going to lie, I’m a bit intrigued at the same time.

[Niak-faerlina]

Just leave one rotting server for the purists and the rest classic+.
