Yes I would be done if they decide to only start fresh with TBC. But that would shock me because the outrage from the community would be insane.

I would bet money they are going to keep some Classic realms and have TBC progress at the same time.
Either by utilizing character transfers to TBC, or character copies, or some fashion.

I say its extremely unlikely they would force everyone to roll new character. Its more likely that realms will progress and hopefully (maybe) they open a few fresh tbc realms as well for ppl to roll new on as well.

Fresh start would be the funnest and fairest... People don't like fun though and they certainly don't like fair.

This is the second go round for the wow experience. Is it that unfair for people who got a late start this time? People who put literal /played days into their characters should be able to benefit going forward into TBC.

Thats why i think it would be nice with both current realms progressing and also having a few new fresh (and none transferable to) realms :)
