When can we make belf paladins?
You cannot boost a Draenei or Blood Elf. They already said this back when boosts where announced. If you want a Draenei or Blood Elf character, you have to level it through Classic.

It's already in a tough shape, 9.1 won't change anything and so won't 9.2.

just for Focks sake.. let us know blizzard. some of us have to let work know ahead of time, and i saved 2 weeks of vacation for release of TBC
Why do you think they want to do a 4-5 week gap with 9.1? They released Shadowlands on 11/23 and Naxx on 12/1, just one week later. Two major patch/expansions literally one reset apart. There's no reason to think they coordinate the release schedules IMO. I think they SHOULD do this, but for whatever reason they don't care. It's probably different dev teams working on classic vs. retail, and because delays are common they don't try to line things up.
I'm not sure why they would delay the prepatch, like the beta has had no serious flaws from what I have heard. All the raids and dungeons work, all the talents and quests are in, arena works, etc. The thing is there weren't that many crazy system changes from Classic to TBC, so we wouldn't expect a super long beta cycle. The fact that Blizz has been giving away TBC beta keys for weeks tells me it's close.
Ion in the Preach interview mentioned exactly this: they want to have a longer time between Classic and retail releases than just one or two weeks and the Shadowlands / Naxxramas launch around the same time was inevitable due to Shadowlands being delayed for a month.
A period of 4 weeks between Classic phases and content patches in retail seems like the minimum (this is my opinion, not something Ion directly stated).

To create a fresh Blood Elf Paladin in Burning Crusade Classic, I can't purchase a Boost? I have to start at level 1? Ugh. No way do I have the patience to level up 58 freaking levels in Classic. Already did that 15+ years ago with my many characters.
I just want to play TBC right away, as a Nlood Elf. I didn't do this new Classic at all.
Now looks like maybe I'll have to create a Night Elf Warrior, hopefully a boost is available for that race and class?
Ill continue to play on my pserver for free, reduce your ridiculous sub fee Blizz and I will consider coming back to WoW/Classic.
Or just play it in the office like i plan to and not waste vacation!
5.3 was escalation, basically killing npcs in the barrens with getting the epic cloak (pretty sure about that last part, and us needing to do the fight at the respective August celestial temple).
And as for 9.3, there is just literally no time on the clock. A late June to early August patch, leaves room for a point patch in Sept/October (which will give all the withheld changes we wanted with 9.1 launch). And then just barely patch in late Nov/Dec, but more realistically in January/February. Which will then put us in the long stretch for the next expansion at the earliest of mid-August.
I’m sort of glad in a way. Been able to take free time away from wow. Was really bitter with people wanting SL pre-patch that gave nothing, which screwed over my foraying into arena ended any possible likelihood of getting my last rank 4 essence for the title. Haven’t cared for the game since October 13. Do need to get elite and KSM though but so far behind after quitting on and off, only being brought to alt heroic nights. Oh well.
I will, the people are a lot nicer there anyways lmao. Though I think Blizzard is going to have to consider changing the price since more people are realizing the same thing with other services like gamepass giving you access to hundreds of games and not just 1 game granting far more value for less monthly (classic versions of WoW don't count as value imo).
Have you actually played the classic and tbc beta?
There is literally fuckloads of stuff to test.
"Are things right"
"Bugs"
"Does this feel authentic"
and more
there is literally is and has been tons of shit wrong, like for example quest cap, and items stats, and items existing or not, raid and dungeon bosses bugging, quests bugging, textures bugging, and more.
Bye Summer, Hello Arena.
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange Aeons even Death may die.
