Blizzard is sending out a survey regarding the interest in "classic" TBC

[letssee]

i bloody hell hope they make it a "start at 58" experience

thats never gonna happen, people want to keep their characters i imagine

- - - Updated - - -

I hope it's a "start from level 1" for everyone.
People wanting to play shaman on Alliance/paladin on Horde shouldn't get left in the dust by everyone else. And that would make less of a clusterfuck in Hellfire Peninsula.

But the most important point is which patch they will use for content. Hope they don't wreck TBC by using 2.4 nerfed one.

no changes

Got it, and it looks like the decision has already been made. However, they want feedback about how to do it (copy toons, lvl 1 everyone, instant 58 options, initial layering, etc)

Now that the cat is out of the bag, I wan't my Mist of Pandaria. Thank you very much.

There is no stopping, you can do it, Blizzard!

Keep dreaming, that'll never happen. The furthest I see blizzard going with their classic train is Wotlk.

[Boricha]

I think the server should have all 3 options tbh: vanilla character copy, start at 58, and start at 1.

[Reman]

Just duplicate the servers, give them a new name and open them 1 week before tbc release, that's it.

Nobody lose their guild, character names, etc.

You get 3 games for 1 sub. Best deal in the gaming world.

It might not even have to go this far. The further they go into these expansions, the more scattered community will become.

[Seranthor]

Received an Email (legit), questions were about the transition to a new server or a server transitioning to TBC model as well as keeping or transferring guilds. Nothing on content (changes) more like binary logistic changes/decisions so to speak.

I'm still not inclined to believe this, This smells like a trap.

[lollerlaban]

Forgive my hesitation, do you think you can share that email with us... I'd like to see it.

No, it's under NDA that all thse mongoloids gladly brushed away

I don't see why it is out of the realm of possibility of having several, if not all, expansions running concurrently for the same sub fee. Why disregard the potential? Especially since remakes are extremely popular, and players are playing their game of choice for over a decade. I have friends who I have known over half my life I still play age of empires 2 with on occasion.

I am hoping Blizzard releases TBC classic in the downtime between expansions.

Also, I don't see how it is a non-disclosure agreement when the receiver hasn't agreed to anything.

i think an arguement can be made against cata onwardss, and also it would be probably spread the player way tooo thin than it would already by with vanilla tbc and wotlk

To me this is the most logical and best solution.

You get to progress into TBC with your vanilla main exactly like it happened AND you keep your character on vanilla forever.

The copy should start with the prepatch event and go from there.

[AlmightyGerkin]

they ask u not to gotta folow the ruleS

BUt it is legit i got it too

crap did i break the rule by posting this?

Good luck with anyone following "Please keep this confidential rule". Did that with the level squish survey and that got thrown onto the internet within a matter of minutes.

[Sorshen]

Wake me up when WotLK one is sent.

[jzhbee]

TBH I'd like them to have some sort of "pre-patch" where I can level a Draenei Shaman before the Dark Portal opens, so I can be closer to on par with other players in regards to end game.

Its posted on Wowhead aswell, to my knowledge Wowhead isn't known for dropping news without verifying it first.

[Boricha]

I think there will be a significant amount of people (such as myself) who want to play the same class but switch to Draenei/Blood Elf, and TBC didn't have race change. Leveling from 1 again would be a pain especially since we're there to play TBC content and not Vanilla again. Maybe only let people who have a 58+ on classic create level 58 characters.


The real issue I see with TBC is that informed players are going to mass flock to Horde. The imbalance is going to be insane.

yea i understand, but i prefer no changes and release it as it was. It makes the lvling world alive again and doesnt disrupt the balance from the start

[Kralljin]

Some merit in starting fresh to be honest.

People have already accumulated a lot of gold in Classic, them totally dominating the economy once TBC hits is a legit concern, it would also make a lot of people a bit more stingy with their classic gold once TBC is announced, after all, who doesn't want to have 5k Gold right off bat, rather than spend weeks / months with the 60% flying mount?

On top of that, Naxx gear allows you bypass some of the initial progression from TBC, Naxx is basically on par with dungeon blues, some items even last easily into raiding.

100% transfer chars, I aint starting over. Fuck the economy, it will stabilize it self overtime, let us enjoy our chars through thick and thin!
