No not necessarily, some people want to just stay on classic and not progress and others like me want to play TBC and eventually Wrath.
- Can you please let us know when the character snapshots for cloning will be taken?
- What will happen to our mail?
âThank you for your understanding.â
Sorry not to sound too facetious, but I donât understand because this explanation is super vague and as someone that mostly plays over weekends to farm/sell/buy/etc. this hoses me personally a bit and I am sure it does others as well. Why would you do this over âprimeâ gaming time instead like around reset to begin with?
multi dollar company. they need to shut down the ah so their one part time intern can set up the pre patch

My guess would be turning down time tho they would have to wait an hour at least for any mail thatâs isnât delivered yet before taking it.
No one is forcing anyone to play TBC, if they wanna stay classic then stay classic but thereâs no need for separate servers for each expansion.
They are.
The clone is to preserve Classic Vanilla, it doesnât have anything to do with adding TBC.
I donât think that word means what you think it means
Will this happen at the same time on EU realms? There is no announcement on the EU forums.
People are really complaining about the AH being down for a few days to accommodate this major transition? Just LOL.

Personally, I was hoping to make another hundred or so gold between now and pre patch. Which will become very hard, if the AH is closed.

They still donât âneedâ to clone the servers, this is just how they decided to do this particular launch.
I am of mixed feelings about it. I donât like that the default is to move your toons to BC Classic. I would have preferred that Vanilla Classic toons remain intact and the player could then decide to move the character ON to BC.
This would make the entire cloning process unnecessary.
The presumption seems to be that everyone will want to move on from Vanilla Classic. This, despite the fact that for years, servers for every expansion were available (privately) and yet the single most popular ones were Vanilla.
Another thing that bothers me is the opportunistic offer by Blizzard to clone for cash. Seriously, it takes 0.2 seconds to copy any existing character, their mail, their banks and their inventories to the PTR, I cannot even guess what possesses Blizzard to charge money for this âservice.â
At least they have overcome their rectal-cranial inversion and lowered the cost from $35 to $15 but even $15 is ridiculous (see above).
Anyway, I just cleared all mailboxes because I never assume things wonât go wrong.
what happened to items you had listed in AH?
I posted some stuff last night, some stuff sold but some of the stuff that didnât is missing⊠will it be back on the 18th?
Why were the auctions that were on not frozen or canceled you have just given a way for people to exploit the systemby allowing the auctions to continue when it was closed so we could not control our stuff. You have just cost a lot of players a lot of gold and it is unacceptable what is blizzard going to do about those auctions?
No the auctions are continuing to run in the back ground.
