Around the time the game launched I was very focused on starting a career. I gave myself 2 weeks to enjoy the launch, and leveled to 52 during that time. After that I let my sub expire and went back to focusing on career goals. Secured my dream job a few weeks ago, so decided to renew my sub and finish what I started. 6 more levels to go.
Hey folks!
I'm still playing. I'm currently raid logging on my hunter which is 4 items away from being Best in Slot. Outside of the 1 raid a week on my hunter, I'm ranking on my Druid and having fun being a FC. Considering rerolling to Druid for AQ because there is very little items to gather as a hunter and I'm currently having a lot more fun on the Druid. Looking forward to finally experience clearing AQ and Naxx. And most of all im looking forward to TBC.
I only get to play a couple hours a week so it's going slow but it's been a complete blast so far!
Looking forward to getting 60 (one of these years) and really looking forward to a possible TBC Classic.
Update because why not; so I joined a random guild and the guild was really hurting for locks. So obviously I decided to level my lock alt and I am definitely having a good time. To be honest though I’m really looking forward to TBC now, and I’m almost prepping more for that than I am playing classic at this point. I really want to raid, but I’m also dead set on having all the classes I want to play for TBC leveled to 60 so I don’t have to waste time during TBC leveling 1-60. I want a Druid, lock, and rogue. WTB more time in the day to waste playing WoW Classic...

I wouldn't get too invested in levelling all the alts you want to bring to TBC. Not only has TBC not even formally been announced yet, we still have no idea if we get to bring characters with us from classic servers. It's a definite possibility, but nobody knows what the migration plan will be - if there even is any.

I definitely see your point but those are also all classes I would like to play in classic so I’m not terribly worried about it. Telling myself I’m prepping for TBC is just my way of convincing myself that I’m not wasting my time leveling them, and by the same token if we can migrate them to TBC, I definitely doing want to waste all that time leveling them when I could actually have for different toons to play at max level.
I really don't want to transfer my classic characters to TBC, but I am planning to play them as my TBC characters. I'm not planning to start new ones in TBC. This puts me in a weird situation where I might have to start new copies of my current characters in classic at some point :lol: cuz if the formal plan is to transfer new characters instead of copying them to TBC realms, then I'm absolutely going to start clones of them in classic as whatever the TBC launch date comes so I'd be able to move them over instead and leave their originals back on classic. I've already started a level 1 druid named Beardozerr to reserve the name in case I can't straight copy Beardozer over.

Lol I really hope they don’t make us do that. I don’t see why they wouldn’t just let us copy them, is there some downside I’m not understanding?

I'm sure there is an argument against it, I'm trying to play devils advocate in my head to think of some but I'm not coming up with much.
Blizzard put out that TBC questionnaire a couple of months ago asking people how they would want to handle a hypothetical TBC launch.
None of the options involved copying your character to a TBC server. So as of that question from a couple of months ago, it wasn't on the table. But then again, it hasn't even been announced yet so we'll see. But most people I've talked to see to like the idea of copying your character either forward to a new TBC server, or backwards from the existing classic-turned-TBC server onto a new Classic server. I want to copy, not transfer.
I've leveled 3 characters to lvl 60 and made 5k gold in case it's a possibility to get artisan flying right away in TBC when hitting lvl 70.
Aside of that, nothing really moves me. PvE content is so underwhelming it's crazy, never cared much for PvP, and that's pretty much it. Been thinking about a 4th character but doing the whole thing yet again...nah. Maybe later sometime. My acc is inactive for roughly a month now. Every now and then I have a slight urge to go back but think about all the fuss that comes with it and decide not to.
Possibly I'll just only go back for TBC. Maybe if I get the feeling for leveling up a new toon again then I will, but not really getting the vibe for massive play again.

I think it has to do with the ability to copy gold. If you copy your character over to TBC on the 1st of June with 1.000G in the bags, then on the 2nd of June you transfer all your gold over to your alt, and you copy him over to TBC on the 3rd of June, you effectively doubled your money in TBC. So that's why I think Blizz wants to be the one doing the copying. A good system would just snapshot the whole server on a given moment and then give players the ability to choose which single characters they would like to transfer to a dedicated TBC server.
Too be honest: got out way more than I expected. :cool:
Playing since launch and got 4 Level 60 toons now, while casually boosting a fifth.
My main is a couple of items short of BIS and my Shaman and Lock both also are pretty decked out too. I make gold by raiding 40's in two raids and tradeskill cooldowns and already prepping for war effort and AQ40. Even stockpiling some lotus.
I got my https://classic.wowhead.com/item=19334/the-untamed-blade a couple of weeks ago and are a proud owner of a https://classic.wowhead.com/item=19363/crulshorukh-edge-of-chaos since recently.
By the way teebling is there any chance to extent the profile page, so I can add my alt army? :razz:
And special thanks to Stfuppercut for the tip with a mage on a second account: it saves soo much time and money.
FTHforever hey good to see you!
That’s a lot of dev work - we’re launching patch 1.13 soon which I hope will make up for the lack of an army of alts on ur profile :razz:
@FTHforever hey good to see you!
Yeah even in 2020 there is a demand for a good forum :mrgreen:
Quit classic months ago, burnt out on the meta bs and playing all the time since launch-day. Recently started playing a nelf warrior with the mrs (druid) because of the lockdown stuff in the uk. Caught the bug again but Alliance is for the birds so I'm starting a shammy :biggrin:

I'm thinking about trying out a Shaman myself. I played Alliance in Vanilla and still mostly do now. Might be fun to try the other side!

Do it, man. Shaman's a blast.
Hey guys. Long time no see! :mrgreen: So I've leveled my character to about level 40 very casually and then my daughter was born. :biggrin: I had a break from a game but I think about coming back since life is going back to normal. It's still going to be casually, I can probably find an hour or two most days (23:00-01:00).
I just hope my realm still exists and is not ghost town or heavily faction imbalanced (Ten Storms EU). Also, I'm thinking about rerolling character to start anew which is probably terrible idea..
Merode good to hear from you man and congrats on the little one. Yes rerollinf when you’re already 40 is a terrible idea - but will you enjoy it anyway? Probably :smile:
teebling thanks for warm welcome! Such a break always leaves me with certain disconnect from character. In general I don't like going back to games I left midway - I generally restart them. However MMOs are a different story, I'll see yet. :smile: Yeah, I can't wait for my girl to grow up and be daddy's healer or tank. :lol:
So.. what is the state of Classic in 2020? Are people still playing it? Are queues still a thing? Has Blizzard said anything about the future?
