Will we be able to stay in vanilla classic? or forced to tbc?

Anniversary Realms will progress into TBC. They will not stay in Classic. In order for your toons to stay in Classic, you will need to re-roll over on Classic Era.

Burning Crusade Classic

We’re particularly excited to reveal that Normal (PvE) and PvP fresh Anniversary realms will progress to Burning Crusade Classic, after we progress through the Classic Era content phases. This will be our first visit back to the start of this beloved expansion since its launch in 2021.

Our new Hardcore Anniversary realms will not progress to Burning Crusade Classic. Hardcore has always been focused on the Classic 1-60 journey, made truly viable and approachable thanks to Classic’s original mechanics and difficulty. Burning Crusade brings with it a level of challenge (and randomness) that we feel doesn’t fit Hardcore.
