No one is going to want to level 1-60+70 all over again. The grind is unbelievably boring.
Play the new retail content maybe? TBC content is still in retail after all, you can still see all that.
Classic most likely did not pull in enough to make it worth it and the hype will not be nearly as big for a TBC client.
Blizzard is a company after all and new expansions most likely generate more than these remakes do.
a BC server would be easy money for them so I assume that's what will eventually happen.. then probably wotlk
Una melodía tocada por las cuerdas de nuestras almas,
y el ritmo que nos sacudió hasta el hueso
It could happen if classic remains EXTREMELY popular once most people reached level 60.. But to be honest.. I just don't see it.
Don't get me wrong I think the 1-60 classic WoW experience is one of the best experience every in gaming industry. So it's no suprise it's doing so well.. But once you hit end game, there is no way classic WoW can hold up against retail WoW or most MMO on the market. Because at that point you are just going to be keep raiding MC/Onyxia and do Strat/Scholo/UBRS/LBRS run everytime you log on.. It's literally just the same old grind you have in retail WoW except now you don't have daily and mythic dungeons in the mix.
Imagine if blizz does nothing to add to classic and gets ended in a year. Blizz hasnt said what the future holds for classic, they didnt even give a if scenerio. Do you think blizz has other expacs ready to add to classic or cross that if/when it gets to that point?

I can see thousands of players up saying f this, if thats what they decide to do. Whats the point in putting weeks of time into a toon where you can't use in the next expac, should they decide to classic-fy it. What's sad is thats what some players want to happen, put bc servers where you lvl from 1-70. Those ppl are on crack.

Are there any streamers/wow'bers that are against classic i wonder?
I heard NK has expressed her lack of interest in classic.
The hunter hoe with the least beloe.
I'd expect an expansion to Classic more than 20+ blades extra for TBC Classic.
The dilemma is as soon as we get too far from Classic/Vanilla, then people will start demanding it again, and we're stuck in a loop. So we should just keep Classic in an unchanging bubble forever, and not add more.
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
Oh, that's easy. They jumped from one F R E S H to another, hoping to be the next Scarab Lord, first 60, Rank 14 guy. I don't think anyone would've played private server vanilla for 10 years on the same server. It's like in Diablo 3, look at how many people come back for every new season because they want to feel the rush of having the same chance than everyone, since everyone is just starting out again. The game would probably be dead if it weren't for seasons, just like Classic will die if they just let it run for 10 years.
I hope not, because I loved TBC, imo it was the best stage of this game. So I much rather let it be
Right, but that means new development. Required class design and class balancing and so on.
I love classic/vanilla, but in all honesty it’s a shit game from a development pov. At best you only have slightly more than a third of the specs viable/well designed and some class/specs are broken OP. Gear is poorly designed for anyone except the specs that can be called viable, som classes and soecs hardly scale with gear partially because of poor design in gear- partially because of poor design in class.
What made vanilla great and makes classic great now, 15 years later, is that there’s clear progression paths. Realm community drives the game, you’re part of a world and YOU make a difference.
...but to repeat myself, vanilla was badly designed.

As said before: we could have a different timeline. Not idiotic different timeline that we had in WoD when we travel back in the past through a stupid time-change of the dark portal aka it's magic, no, simply a timeline where the Portal does not open, instead different things happen.
Also we don't need always the "big threats" we had in the upcoming expansions, Vanilla didn't had the "big baddie" too, so why should we need it here. South sea expansion was always something people wanted to see, but i doubt we will see something like this on retail where we are the big bad champion. In an classic+-timeline we could avoid this, instead we will still be the adventurer, so let us adventure something. Or open the dark portal to a complete different location, not draenor. Or maybe a continent behind the forbidding Sea where we could have tons of new content.

You split your customer base. The more diluted an MMO gets, the less viable it becomes.

I think there's an even more elegant solution that would emulate the expansion release experience - server duplication. For example, on TBC launch day you'd get:
Server
Faerlina - Classic
Faerlina - TBC Classic
TBC Classic is a 100% copy of the prior server with characters, gold, etc. - a snapshot of the server the day of launch, but then would divert out from there. The two remain completely separate from that point on.
Why do it that way? Simply because that's how the launch of TBC was. You weren't copying over characters or transferring to new servers trying to get your name, hoping that your guild master also transferred so the guild was intact, your AH items still existed, and other weird interactions of a character copy... you just logged in and everything was exactly the same except you were playing TBC now.
