What server is FoH on again? Still accepting super casuals into the guild? I'm considering subscribing at long last...
Cool. I'll give someone a whisper if I make a character. I can't decide between a druid or a priest.

You guys think they're going to implement TBC on the existing classic servers? I had always assumed Blizzard would announce it as part of a 2nd set of classic servers that they would be progression based in order to squeeze out another years worth of classic subs and to give them time from Shadowlands launch to finalize what they need to get TBC rolled out. I'm sure there would be a vocal group of players that might take issue if the server they were billed as "classic" ended up moving into expansions they didn't want to go to (for whatever reason).
I'd love to play a WoW progression server, provided it's on some kind of sped up timetable. I quit classic pretty early on when I made a rogue and very quickly realized how warrior-meta it had become.

Either way its gonna end up badly. If they just add TBC to existing servers, the classic only crowd will lose their shit. If they make new servers that start at TBC it will just split the population even more. And theres already some dead servers. I dont see them splitting the servers though. Moving to TBC would be the better option.

That's what some people think ideal, but it really isn't. Who is going to play their 60 on classic parallel to the 70 copy on TBC? One of those characters will be dead after a week of realizing how much time it is to double raid.

How would you deal with the - I assume a large portion - of the players that only wants to play classic and classic only? You can not patch them to the TBC level telling them "well just stay 60 lol".
Also TBC patch level is way more difficult. I forgot the patch number but there was a 180 degree patch removing a lot of the key requirements for raids and also makig the game way easier but also implementing a lot of class and balancing changes and removing some iconic quests (Hand of a'dal I remember, Champion of the Naaru? Too long ago...). If you start with the exciting and difficult early patchlevel you are also in for a really ugly minmax situation classwise. Will be interesting to see what they are planning.

"You think you do, but you don't"?
I don't see them adding a third type of WoW to the battle.net app. TBC is gonna be a thing just because subscription numbers in TBC exploded even more.
I mean what else are you gonna play? Shitlands?

They hired some people from SOE/Daybreak (Holly of all people), and many people think they are going to at least try either some sort of time locked progression servers (TLP), or even seasonal servers. I can totally see them merging some classic servers to a "classic forever" pool and having server transfers to either that or a TBC upgrade pool, or even make a "new character at 58" pool.
They already implemented a system where your installation can have multiple clients with their settings and addons with the game content stored in a central pool. Adding clients to that for TBC/WotLK is totally a no-brainer.
To be fair, I am quite itching to play TBC, but even if I'd level now I'd have to level a blood elf paladin from level 1 once it releases. I hope they at least implement the "30% less exp for leveling" 1-60 though.
