Within this thread we will give our constructive support for a Fresh 2.4.3 Burning Crusade server for Pre-Patch or release.
Why?
Many of us watched Classic unfold with new metas and exploits that were not wildly present or at all in Vanilla. Such events have made the server economy flux in a way that is not true to the original spirit of the game.
The popularity of Boosts and GDKPs have encouraged RMT sales and many players brag about their purchases, to sadly no punishment given.
This will result in an absurd economy that many of us wish to avoid entirely.

There will be no gold caps, meaning tens of thousands of gold will be brought into Burning Crusade.
Back in the day, this amount was unheard of. Only the elite raiders could boast 5,000g. Epic mounts were rare.
If Boosting and GDKP was all done with clean, legit gold, then only the hard earned and farmed gold would be circulated. But it is not. It is dirty RMT gold, as shown by this GDKP sword that supposedly went for ~$3,500:
Very constructive and informative videos on boosting and the damage it will cause, as well as reasons why fresh servers are necessary:
while there is the sting of the mess of current servers, a big reason people want fresh is for the new experiences, the fun ambience and new adventures.
Information We Have So Far:
"Will you open Fresh Classic server in addition to the TBC servers? There seems to be a large demand for it.
"Holly: “Great question. For our timeline for Burning Crusade Classic, we won’t be launching any fresh start servers, but I can promise you we got our eyes on that in our future and we will be discussing it once we get through a stable and successful launch with Burning Crusade Classic.”
It was not specified if this was for Fresh Vanilla or Fresh TBC. It feels like she gave an answer for Vanilla so far at this point. Will update once we get more information.
Let us be constructive and civil.
Remember! There were no RPPVP servers at the announcement of Classic as they felt there was 0 demand. Now we have two! We can do this!
