TBC, hopefully, but I would want them to stop after that. TBC would have to be a separate client that allowed players to copy over their account data ONE time, as there are going to be many vanilla-only players that don’t want anything to do with TBC.
As much as I love WotLK, a TBC server would fragment the player base enough as it is, but TBC still retains the classic feeling that vanilla had. WotLK meddles with the open world difficulty and makes things too easy.
I’m hoping we can rally again and convince them to create a slow paced progression type content that doesn’t just act as the TBC expansion did and wiped out all raid and pvp items with greens.
Quests that bring you back through the world to keep it feeling alive and more dungeons and instances with slightly higher tier to add more content to chase… But that’s something I hope to talk about AFTER we’ve gotten our fun out of classic.
No.
Also no.
F R E S H ofc
Classic should always be a separate server, but I would love a BC server as well.
Copy over account data? If TBC Classic was announced I just figured we’d all be rerolling BE’s.
I would really like to see everything blizzard imagined for vanilla release happen in classic.
Looking at the alpha there was so much going on that never made it into the game.
Nothing, ActiBlizz gave the players what they wanted. A playable version of vanilla wow. Why do people think it’s anything more then a time capsule.
Found the wrath/cata baby.
They should have done WOTLK before TBC, and then TBC afterwards as a natural progression of the story.
WC => WC2 =WC3 (Introducing Arthas, rich etc) => WOW => WOTLK Finish the Arthas/Lich King story line => TBC moving to the big powers that were behind Arthas etc.
In retrospect the hopping around is silly.
After NAXX 40… hmm
After release of naxx 40, I would say possibly best case 6 months down the road 5% of raiding guild would have cleared it.
Maybe 10% after a year.
I never see it going over 15% of raiding guilds that is after 2 years.
So, it would be almost 3.5 years or 4 years after classic release when we would see anything.
Possibly horizontal progression or tbc classic announcement would be around 2 years or 2.5 years after classic release.
Horizontal would be additional patches. Which would be purchased per patch(how I see it as in 30 dollars or 60 dollars almost like an expansion) It will not give you better gear only additional options to optimize any build with different gear and all new dungeons/raids/professions recipes/ locations nothing will be above naxx 40 gear but could match. It would give equivalent type ilvl for difficulty/level of said dungeons/raids/professions.
That if classic is successful and it stay with rpg elements. I hope for no true named bosses unless they made them almost impossible to beat.
Hopefully nothing. If they start adding stuff it won’t be Classic anymore.
Blizzard doesn’t want to develop two mmos at one time.
Furthermore osrs style changes would piss off those who want classic to be classic.
If classic is a success the obvious goal should be to release new servers dedicated to burning crusade and wrath.
Because this isn’t diablo and it isn’t private servers and it would annoy those who want to keep their progress?
And if they can’t get away with it being separate servers, don’t do it at all.

Especially on RP servers. You reset those and it’ll be hella disruptive to the players who have ongoing storylines.
No. Classic isn’t Old School RuneScape. We don’t need new vanilla content and we shouldn’t get new vanilla content because it literally wouldn’t be vanilla content. Vanilla is already defined and so there’s nothing to vote on other than what is within the bounds of 1.1 and 1.12 WoW.
I’ve said this many times already, but I’ll say it again. New Classic content should only ever come in the form of separate BC and WotLK servers; possibly with the option to transfer your vanilla characters to them.
Someone else had the idea of Blizzard doing a one-time copying of all the character data from the Classic servers to the TBC ones. That way you can try out TBC but go back to your Classic character if TBC’s not for you, without exploiting a copy system.
What will happen after Naxx?
Party at Theprofessy’s house! Woot woot!
I’d be ok with that. The important thing to me is they don’t wipe a vanilla character’s progress with a new expansion or new content.
Hopefully they skip tBC, and give us Wrath zones and dungeons and lore. Except DKs are undead only (but you have to level that toon to 50 as a warrior, and then can switch to a DK via quest). No new levels, but maybe a new talent tree for each class. Few buffs, few nerfs. Warriors are balanced.
Then undead finally become their own faction, except they start in Northrend.
