    They may think they will, but they really won't.

    So it has dawned on them how lucrative 'fresh start' servers are.

    I played vanilla lightly, mostly because of my job. I stopped at some point and didn't play again till Wrath. And then I played way too much.

    If they do a Burning Crusade thing, I'm probably going to waste quite a bit of life.

    IF they are going to go beyond vanilla, my opinion is there should be pre-Cata servers. No need for Vanilla, BC and Wrath separated out. Just pre-Cata and retail. BC and Wrath were true expansions to vanilla, Cata changed everything.

    Why when you can separate every expac to appeal to many different players? Each individual one as its own game. Everyone has their own idea of what expac was the best and seeing as Blizz is now into repackaging old stuff why possibly repel an x amount of players by forcing content on them that they don't want to ever experience? Having to play thru classic + tbc to get to wotlk is basically the same torture philosophy of retail. By having separate expansions the players can pick and choose the specific expac they want to play.

    Not me. BC was OK but WotLK is the one I'm waiting for. THAT will eat my life :)

    So yeah, Wrath was the one I played to death and I have great memories of it. But people always talk about how great BC was and so I want to dig into that because I never got to experience it.

    Vanilla is great to experience but TBC improved on the game in almost every aspect. It feels like a complete game after the expansion was added. Bring on the burning crusade.

    BC had the best group dungeons, imo. However, I think the B-tch King had the best overworld and questing.

    I guess if you never played Wow at all classic would appeal to you I just couldn't do it again, leveled a toon to ten and that's all i could do, the reminder of the grind just got to me. How people say that Wotlk is the best expansion maybe story wise but to me it was the start of the down fall of Wow , no longer did you have to cc anything to get through a dungeon, hell the tank could pull thirty mobs kill them all, they nerfed the crap outta certain classes, made some just ridiculous op as well. Yes Wow was my first mmo loved it played many many hours but that started to fade after BC, played the other expansions honestly just to be with the wonderful people I encountered along the way however will not be buying shadowlands. BC will always be the best expansion.

    BC is my favorite version of the game and will come back to play it. but yeah, everyone being ultra geared with thousdnds of gold saved up before it launches kind of turns me off.

    hopefully they launch fresh BC servers, even if that means i have to level up again or possibly having lvl 58 boosts.

    I think fresh start servers aren't a bad idea, but in general it really screws over the people who put time into, and are enjoying the current classic servers. Any time a fresh start server comes out in an MMO, the older servers of the same ruleset tend to die off. The only way I would be happy with fresh start would be if they were going to progress through more than vanilla.

    I'm hoping they have the BC servers on their own, and that they allow transfers to them from the vanilla servers.

    I was around for both of those expansions; as soon as they dropped, players stopped playing the endgame zones in the previous expansion. So on a hypothetical realm like this, people are playing the end game content of WotLK and not from the other expansions, wasting that content.

    I think everyone who plays WoW Vanilla knows that those servers are going to slowly die anyway now that we're reaching the end of Vanilla content.

    It was fun while it lasted, but soon it's time to disembark the ride, and Blizzard isn't screwing anyone over if they start a new ride at this point.

    As long as i have classic i'll be fine.

    BC and Wrath are popular mostly as there are many first loves in there after people heard about this game called world of warcraft, and you can never top first love.

    Personally i have zero interest in a BC and or Wrath classic.

    I was at wow launch, played maybe a month and went back to EQ2 until late BC, then yeah played the living mofo chit outta wow until cata then walked. Only to return as a player in late BFA, and yeah cause i came back for classic lmao.

    There is a distinct feel, vibe, atmosphere, about classic/vanilla which is gone in BC, and Wrath.

    Being real, BC was the start of the downfall of wow, with making things even easier than vanilla already was, grouping tools ect, and only got worse from there.

    Personally i'm glad they are doing this, but don't get rid of classic.

    The guild i'm in that's all they play they won't touch BC and onward as they have been playing private vanilla for over the last decade. It'll just send them back to private.

    It'll be a fun show watch the return of BC, but OMG the real show will be Wrath, that's going to be freaking EPIC!!!

    They really should keep things separate mainly because there's a lot of people who haven't experienced each expansion's 'glory days.' You can even go as recent to legion, with so many people saying how 'great' it way, yet people coming in bfa and after wouldn't know it since they never got to experience artifacts/class design and legendary effects ontop of those things. Personally, I feel like blizzard should just make stop-gap servers for each expansion (at least on the back-end), popular or not (so it would include bfa as well unfortunately), just so people can experience them as they were. They could just increase the price per expansion people wanted to experience onto the sub fee to remedy the cost (since we all know that's all they care about anyway).
