Hear me out Blizzard, having one PVP and one PVE WOTLK legacy servers will be worth it. If WOTLK legacy servers are not established after WOTLK has run its course lots of people will not be coming back including me. I have at least 15 guild mates that claim they will go to private servers after WOTLK. I’m sure the same goes for lots of WOTLK fans. Be smart, please the community and make money doing it, seems like a no-brainer.

They should do a cloning service for people who want cata and charge people 15 dollars if they want to keep their characters on the legacy WOTLKC servers
People have been saying the same thing since Classic… they opted not to have TBC Classic servers live-long. I wonder if there’s a reason.
I’d be fine with that since there is no way i’d do cata over again lol
I can understand that. As a Wrath player; Cata is probably waaaaay to hard for yah.

facts, having a whole zone swimming, no thanks.
Charging $15 to clone characters is what severely damaged Classic Era.

Im glad you picked up on my sarcasm
I’m not trying to debate which exp was the hardest, maybe Cata was, I have no idea since after WOTLK i never did end-game content again. I’m simply stating that there are people including myself who enjoyed their funnest years in WOW during WOTLK (as is the case for all expansions I’m sure) and it seems pointless for blizzard to lose business instead of running 2 servers per expansion.

Splitting the playerbase has proven to kill older games. I assume if they did leave a handful of servers for Wrath as Classic progressed to cata they would end up super low pop with only a few raiding guilds left like classic
I can definitely agree with that. However after TBC closed classics pop grew about 700%, assuming those are people coming from TBC not wanting to continue into WOTLK, the same will probably happen each exp. Then how long until all those people that are only in classic because the exp they liked shut down just quit. Forcing people to play an expansion they find inferior to their preferred exp just seems like a poor business decision.
The Season of Mastery experiment was such a dud that I doubt they’re going to try it with the less popular “permanent WotLK”.
See you in Cataclysm.

The only way I’d personally be interested in Wrath legacy servers is if they stop touching everything, and revert most of the changes they made. PR’s gave me a better Wrath experience than Blizzard did, so unless Blizzard will give us Wrath Legacy servers and keep them as close to original as possible, I have zero interest in Legacy servers, rather just go back to PR’s, where I can play a version of the game that’s closer to the original, and save my $15/month.

This, so much this!
I might have kept playing if there was a pure, “both”, option. Instead we had to pay money. There were so many other better options too.
Honestly, right now we should have a new Vanilla and TBC server as well as Wrath.
Blizzard does not understand the core Classic playerbase at all and keeps trying to funnel us into retail, which many of us will NEVER play.
The biggest disaster they could ever do is push all of us into Cata.

It’s really not. I got through most of the heroics while still learning how to play hunter with a whiny raid leader and all of us being teens and early 20s idiots. Cata raids were definitely a lot more interesting but their “difficulty” was in coordination and memorization, that’s something we have down to a formula now. Pugs will fail as always and the average guild will have it on farm in a few weeks
Imo Wrath is the beginning of it but cata really doubles down and punishes you for not doing the dance mechanics. I don’t think the average drunky raiding in Wrath is ready for that. Ik I’ve benched a few people in retail VoI for thinking they can get away with stuff like that on raid night.
