Daily reminder to unban GDKP’s, and solve the underlying issue, you lazy cowards.

Please add dual spec.
The way New World did servers at launch was super smart.
They create for exmaple:
Server1, 2, 3, 4 (all with the same name, with a number at the end)
Then each month as the population went to “normal” they would merge them into the “main” server.
It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s way better than forever dead servers.
Blizz likes to put band - aids on the problems and not fix the problem at the root.
Look at the dire state feral druids are in in cata classic F tier damage for P1 and its continuing into P2. The root cause is that mono cat is haste starved which makes bearweaving optimal. But instead of fixing the root cause they just ignore it because there WoTLK fix was a bandaid that they removed without fixing the class.

My buddies and i want to dive into WOW (coming from OSRS) but we’ve been intimidated by the options. Is this a good time for new players to start WOW? and will these new servers be on Classic or SoD?
Sorry, very new to WoW
The new servers will be classic, progressing to TBC, but on a fairly fast schedule, probably 1 year and a few months?
this is what I want to know too

If they are intended to be TBC Era, it makes some sense to keep people from getting to Shattrath on day 1, so everyone can level and then start in Outland together.
But if it’s just going to be another botched server clone and split, it’ll be just as messed up as the last TBC Classic, ruining the server populations and setting up TBC to fail.
Blizzard NEEDS to commit to TBC Era this time, or it’s a non-starter.

This will be the best time to come to WoW as the fresh server means there will be alot of people starting off at level 1 and alot of help.
Also i would reccomend buying restedXP guide i think they have a sale its $15 for both facations for era (probably a great idea to buy it that before the price goes up again) This would help you and your freinds greatly with leveling.

Please consider adding Dual spec, guild banks(using alts with add-ons sucks), and maybe taunts to tank specs!

That would take away the feel of the game. Not needed for Vanilla, Tank threat was and will always be a major mechanic for Vanilla.

Thank you Blizz, I immediately resubbed after seeing this and already connected with some casual folks who are just looking to enjoy the journey this time around rather than focus on grinding and hitting 60 in like 1-2 weeks. So pumped for fresh servers, the hustle and bustle in starting zones for the next 2-3 months, new economy, and no GDKP.
Now, what to keep myself occupied with until then…

We definitely need an rppvp server in the mix, too.

Era guildmates talked about this last night after raid. The consensus was that it was a pity that something new isn’t happening - a good idea was to play with the TBC prepatch skill system so the TBC transition could go smoother, and one could play with the new races and specs if desired to give a new feel to the raids. That would have been interesting at least. As is, the only thing for an existing era player to look forward to is the AQ opening and pre-naxx events in the next 2 years.
TBC being 2 years away is also a little bit of problem point. If there is an accelerated pace of patches, then the classic players get screwed over with the number of bug mounts and atieshes they can make making their experience worse, and no amount of accelerated patch schedules with make people who “just want to play TBC already” happy either.
Personally though, I’m much more concerned with what happens AFTER TBC though. More Wrath, cata, panda, and beyond? More characters we are forced to abandon as we move into xpacs we don’t want to play, or will the realm lock to TBC? Abandoning characters really kind of sucks in a MMO when you drown so much time into them.
But above all this, STOP MAKING UI CHANGES TO ERA!!! We have addons for fixing your deficiencies and are generally happy, and with each new patch you just break our addons (i.e. add stuff we don’t need/want, at the expense of stuff we depend on)! Either give era the changes we want (seasonal pre-nax/AQ events, repeatable rends for both factions, active gamemasters, etc) along with your UI changes, or just keep your hands off of era and stop breaking it. UI changes to ERA are a curse that makes us miserable that no one asks for, not some blessing. You ARE going to get flamed from Era players if you give us the usual patch with only UI changes and game breaking bugs that leak through from the other game modes that we know from experience wont be fixed for months on end. If you’re going to make us suffer through the UI changes, we will need a little carrot to go along with that stick. Otherwise, please, no UI changes - or any changes whatsoever unless you’re decoupling the client.

Make that one year 14 months max, TBC is to launch 2025/26 so a speed up version of poor Classic
And yes THIS is The Question!

Maybe they want you to you know…m experience the game and world instead of speedrunning to endlessly farm and raid log
Does this affect current characters on existing servers for Classic Era?
What does this mean for existing toons on different servers but in the same cluster?
Does this mean our current toons will be erased?
What will happen to Classic Era vs other Classic expansions? I play everyday for several hours on Classic Era because I prefer the gameplay of Vanilla WoW. This sounds like you are closing Classic Era down in time.
Please remove the debuff/buff limit, would be great to have something other than shadowbolt and such for other casters
