I think they're gonna do TBC

Seems like they kinda just trying to stay afloat as a company so TBC seems like the best thing to do

"Best thing to do" what are they going to charge 20$ again on top of the monthly fee? TBC servers would die before people even hit 70 who would sub to play TBC? you could count them on your fingers nobody is that stupid of course there would be a few clowns that would switch servers and transfer if it was free guess what that means? Blizzard loses money for what? to please idiots on reddit? i think after all these failures they have learned that doesn't earn them much

TBC = blizzard loses money
TBC = not happening

Yeah TBC much like Classic can be used to float people over to Retail.

I am almost certain Blizz will release TBC and WOTLK servers eventually :)

It makes sense for Blizzard as well moneywise.

So to you TBC delusional fanboys go play on a private server and for you classic+ loonies go play BfA or don't because it's shit just like you would like classic to be shit

Uw0t m8?

I'd be surprised if Blizzard didn't take the path of least effort and highest gain and move on to a TBC re-release at some point.

I'm more curious why the OP is so angry though. Lots of anger over something that hasn't happened or been decided yet. :neutral:

Who pissed in your Cheerios OP?

Just a reminder that this is simply *your opinion* and almost no factual statements are being provided here. Simple opinion and speculation.

I'm having a lot of fun in Classic at the moment. Decided to re-roll, so it'll be a while before I hit 60. Honestly, I've barely played WoW beforehand, but a "progression server-like" release pattern with future content and expansions might prove interesting. My question is whether they'll change around mechanics and re-balance things similarly to how the original/retail went, or rather instead attempt to retain the spirit of classic, whatever that may be in their eyes. Don't know, just some thoughts.

tbc makes the most sense - from a we want the lowest cost/effort to please our shareholders as much as possible standpoint. even if blizz does not have original gamefiles. combine it with new classic servers and also different classic servers that have much tighter patch release schedules something absurd like 1 year and define them as "world first/speedrun/season/ladder" servers or something similar.

If TBC release again I think it will be a good thing for eSport in wow.

It will be really strange to see "TBC Arena tournament" taking the spot, but that was the best moment for esport in PvP.

But hey, I'm sticking to classic for now will see in the futur what will happen :)

They spent alot of time getting Classic on the modern platform.
In my mind they did this with the future in mind, whether they do it or not, they made it easy to bring back other/all expansion with ease.
They did the hard/ground work to just plug in play other expansion with not much work because they did that bringing us Classic.

Plus much like Classic it brought back new/old players into the wow world.
Aka they play classic and love it.
Which makes them stay or they dont like it but re-try/try retail and maybe enjoy that.
Blizzard made another way to bring people back to wow and TBC can bring back a different crowd of people.

I'd play the shit out of a TBC server, provided I can keep my Classic characters at 60 and copy them over.

I would assume so? I'd be quite heart breaking that we can't transfer toons over.

Wow, OP is super salty, but for what? Probably knows that TBC/WotLK is the most optimal way for blizz to go with in the long run and doesn't like the idea.

Tragic example of what crack does to the mind.

Alas poor thing!

of course theyll continue with classic lmao, the only delusional one here is you. fuckloads of people play and theyre not about to want to lose everyone to stagnant servers sitting around naxx forever with no progression onwards.
what do you think would happen?

This is, of course, the only logical speculation. It'd be naive to think Classic will just sit at Naxx forever. They will eventually move on to The Burning Crusade.

I will also offer an alternative speculation:

Blizzard COULD take the Jagex route. They could start implementing lateral changes into the game, new items, new mini dungeons etc. while keeping the core of the game completely the same.

As much as I'd like that, I hardly see this happening, especially with current blizz. New content would take time, effort and money, and clearly they want to spend the least possible of each, and that equals TBC+, WotLK+, and who knows what then. People seem to want the original trilogy back, maybe after 4-5 years they'll even want Cata back.

Anyway, for those 4-5 years, they're good to go.
