I’m creating this forum post to ask Blizzard: If I were to create a SoD character today, then once SoD is over, where will our SoD characters transfer to?
Will they go to:
- Only Classic Era forever (aka “vanilla”) realms
- Only the Progression Classic realms, which are at Wrath era now, and would probably be at Cataclysm by the time SoD concludes.
- We get to pick #1 or #2, but can’t do both.
- The option to do both; even if there’s a fee to do both.
I’d like to create a Alliance rogue on a SoD realm and be able to take advantage of the 100% XP buff to level him up. Once SoD is over (or maybe even beforehand if the character transfer is available earlier), I’ll then want to be able to move him over to the same Vanilla Classic “forever” realm my priest is on, so that I can continue to have fun sapping and messing with the Horde in classic Orgrimmar and have the benefits of mailing items/gold back-and-forth with my tailoring/enchanting priest.
But if we’ll only be able to transfer to progression realms, then I just won’t be interested in creating my rogue on a SoD realm in the first place. So it’d be nice to have that assurance we’ll be able to transfer characters to a “vanilla forever” realm before I even get started.
Thank you.

This would be completely unfair and disruptive to era players.

I’m assuming Blizzard would remove any sort of SoD-only enchantments/items as part of the transfer process? So that there wouldn’t be anything on our characters not obtainable on non-SoD realms?
They will go deeper into a black hole that you were already in

so you essentially just want level boosts in classic era from what i gather. why not just push for that instead.
SoD is seasonal. they were upfront with that. if they continue it on, its essentially a gift.

I’m all in on SoD now. If they retire it, I hope they just keep the servers and leave it alone like the era ones.
I could never go back to era or wrath/cata after experiencing the rune system and SoD upgraded content.
I truly hope they don’t retire this though, it has so much potential to be an entirely new timeline.

It would be awful if we had to go to strictly era… lose all the runes and gear, probably be no reason to play for me at least after SoD is over.

They will keep SoD going and won’t end it. It’s prob the most active version of the game other than retail.
They would be dumb to end it, then again they aren’t too bright.

I wish retail would use these old talent trees and rune systems. I’d be more inclined to play retail if it were more like SoD.

The trees in retail are fantastic (essentially the same as old wow’s talent trees) and there are enough skills on each character already on retail lol
Well enjoy classic. We don’t want classic in our retail…
Classic is dead to me. I’m playing SoD till the end and then going back to Conan Exiles. I haven’t been able to enjoy retail since BfA/Legion. Try to come back to it every year or so but it’s just horrible.
You’re entitled to that opinion and enjoy conan.
Great chat, thanks for coming. We should get coffee sometime and talk about things
What’d you expect me to say? I’m not gonna try and convince you to play retail… I don’t agree with your opinion, what did you want me to say?
Shhhhh now. You don’t have to say anything.
It’s alright. Nobody is telling you that you can’t play retail. Go on now, go free and enjoy your retail.
<3
When did I say I couldn’t play retail? Where is all of this coming from? You’re very passive aggressive for whatever reason… it amuses me.
You missed the 3rd option!
Blizzard just transfers them all to retail, that way it wouldn’t disrupt a single thing.
SoD is just “Retail Lite” so it would make the most sense and consider the transfer to be “Phase 5”.
Looks like it would be the winning answer.

it would be nice to have an official blue post of an answer. With us peons just guessing what could happen, people will start believing anything that is on the net.
- the sod realm is over and our characters are deleted.
- the sod continues to tbc and the characters keep getting more strong with dragon flight as a rune
- they leave 1 pvp and 1 pve sod realm up forever and our characters just idle away.
- they remove all sod effects except on hunters actually restore hunters powers and move them to the classic era realms.
