Burning Crusade Blizzard Survey, Brandy Camel Leaves Blizzard

WoW Classic - Burning Crusade Official Blizzard Survey
Yesterday, players on Reddit began reporting that they received an official survey from Blizzard asking questions about a hypothetical Burning Crusade Classic Server. The questions asked are listed below. Thanks to soramac on the classicwow subreddit for the photo!

  • How interested are you in a "Classic" version of Burning Crusade?
  • Thinking about the potential ways a player could start a character in "Classic" Burning Crusade, which of the following would you prefer most?
    • Continue playing my current Classic character on my existing server as it progresses to the Burning Crusade expansion, with the option to transfer to a Classic server that will never progress past level 60.
    • Continue playing my current Classic character on my existing server that will never progress past 60, with the option to transfer to a Burning Crusade server.
    • Start a brand new character from Level 58 on a new Burning Crusade server.
    • Start a brand new character from Level 1 on a new Burning Crusade server.
    • None of the above

March 27, 2020 will be my final day as Diablo Community Manager, and at Blizzard Entertainment. I’m not leaving for any ill reasons; my team here has always been understanding and kind, every developer I’ve had the honor of interacting with has been delightfully passionate, and the decision to leave was ultimately mine alone. I have an opportunity to explore a new and very different adventure, and if you’re curious about that, I’ll share more about it on my personal channels. Sometimes, opportunity presents itself and you just gotta roll the dice.

What I want to focus on is expressing my gratitude to this community. For welcoming me when I stumbled in at the announcement of Reaper of Souls. For making me feel at home as I was trembling on livestream, fighting stage fright while introducing the expansion to the world. For all the smiles, high-fives, hugs, and selfies at conventions (especially BlizzCon). For the absolute conviction and passion for Sanctuary that I see in every player’s post, whether it’s excitement over the latest Season or constructive criticism for your favorite class. Regardless of highs and lows, this is one of the best communities out there, and the heart of it is warm, caring, and filled with people who just want more Diablo.

Thank you for permitting me to be a part of your community. Thank you for reading my weird blogs and tolerating my terrible puns and memes. And thank you for staying awhile to listen. I’ve had an incredible opportunity learn and grow as person that I’ll carry with me the rest of my life, and I can’t wait to delve the depths of the Burning Hells and face down the mother of Sanctuary alongside the rest of you.

Lastly, rest assured that the Diablo community will be left in good hands. I’ve spent a fair amount of my final weeks here preparing to pass the torch to those who will follow in my footsteps and working with the team here to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible. You won’t be left unheard or unacknowledged, but please be understanding while the next folks get settled in. We’re all here to battle the demons of Hell together, after all!

I’ll see you in Sanctuary, adventurers.

    How long will they push this? It feels like hail mary passes to save the franchise. Does it stop at TBC? Will it continue to Wrath? How about Cata? How about Mist? At what point we are not just playing wow again from the start with no changes? This is beyond moronic... To each their own, but seriously, this could be a bad precedent.

    God I'm so hyped, this is what I originally was hoping would happen when I supported Classic's release. I genuinely can't wait.

    I beg to differ. I've played that stuff long ago, I want new content. Blizzard is just hopping on the "lets remake games since we have no new ideas". I don't wanna support that.

    Blizzard needs to get it together already. Stand out like they did in the past.. right now they're just following in line like the rest of these lazy companies.

    Sad stuff.

    God bless blizzard, they've finally accepted the fact they're unable to make good games/content anymore and are instead deciding to remake/reuse old content.
    BUT just like classic they'll manage to derp it

    my sentiments exactly. glad everyone is having fun with classic, that's great...but blizzards actual newer games have been pretty sketch.

    blizzard does great with the initial launch of games, it's when they start fiddling with it that things go south.

    They fucked up Warcraft 3 Reforged badly. I hope they don’t remake anything for a very long time if this is the quality we can expect.

    I am very interested in classic TBC, i couldn't be bothered with classic Vanilla because i have played 100% of it when it was current and i couldn't find motivation to do so again.

    Even though, I played most of TBC in terms of PVE (with the exception of Sunwell) but i have not played arena and basically this is what i am really really interesting in doing. Playing arena in tbc environment. I got at roughly 2k rating back in the day but still i want to do that exclusively. Arena nowadays is a complete mess -at least in my eyes- very fast paced and so many classes that i feel disconnected.

    So yeah i am extremely interested in TBC, but because i haven't played Classic Vanilla, i would love the option to get a fresh 58 lvl, all other option don't apply to me and lets be honest leveling all the way from level 1 up to 70 is a pain, i will do it, but still it's a pain and it wouldn't add much to the overall experience.

    All this classic nonsense is just rubbish.
    Taking away precious development time that could be used on retail.
    And yes, it is another team, still they could have worked on retail.
    Thanks, you!

    The hell are you talking about? They are still making new expansions...
    Shadowlands is a pretty standard size expansion with some great ideas in there. These classic servers exist to give people who enjoyed a different time something to do/reexperience a game they loved.

    I love Tales of Symphonia, it would suck if I could never go replay it again in it's truest form.

    ridiculous take my guy.

    I said for years (and of course many others) it's gonna happen. Most likely midway through Shadowlands, so my bet is Q3/Q4 '21.

    Why? Most likely servers will be separate anyway. I would like to experience some expacs again. But I think in more modern expansions they should integrate achievements with retail WoW, so for example we would be able to do things like MoP legendary cloak or Mage Tower and get skins on retail.

    they will never get it together, it's been years since the last good expansion.. and even that expansion wasn't as amazing as the ones before that

    I heard you liked a split community so we split your already split community even more.
    What could possibly go wrong..

    I think because Cataclysm was truly cataclysmic for old wow's world.

    Also, considering that in shadowlands you will be able to play in any "era"/expansion you want, it wouldn't make much sense.

    Its all a steep downhill from wotlk really, i dont see them pushing any further, since the spirit of classic wanes off pretty fast after. Only thing that remains is old char models up till wod but i dont see that being a big deal.

    Well, my reply to you is in part of post you cut. If servers will be separate, there will be no harm in reliving some Cata nostalgia. Most likely BC will be '21, WoTLK '23, Cata '25 which feels like eternity from now. People will be bored with old stuff and there will be no need for Classic 2.0, since old servers will be working all the time.

    Let's repeat it again for the braindead people in here.

    There's. Not. Wasted. Development. Time.
    There'a a skeleton crew making miniscule changes to classic that has NOTHING to do with actual retail development. I'm not sure how many times this has to be repeated so that people can get it through their head
