Wrath Era is likely to be DOA.We've already danced this with Classic Era. The outcry for Era was INSANE and literally no1 stayed behind.
Sad news for wow at Blizzcom ... So please Blizz let us at least WOLTK era or RIP classic
Knowing my server and character progress is going to suffer the agony of the Cataclysm wave has actually completely killed my desire to continue playing Wrath at all. I was interested in working to get my own Shadowmourne because before the announcement I believed I'd be able to park that character and come back to play it anytime at that power level, but now all of the work I put into getting it has a lifespan that I don't think is long enough for the effort. They seem to be either missing, ignoring, or undervaluing a part of the classic ideology: these 3 expansion eras each have their own distinct feeling that is radically different from everything after them. It's great they've preserved the Era servers, but not also doing so with TBC, and now Wrath is missing the point: Classic is not just about the vanilla 'era', it's about how the entire game was before the gigantic shift in philosophy that Cataclysm represents, and forcing people to move forward out of the 'Classic Era' is an exponentially bigger misstep than not preserving a TBC era. I'm tired of having my character progress thrown in the garbage every 2 years (so much less now, and even faster still in Cata Classic).
95% of people in Wrath just raidlog at this point. Why the hell would you want a Wrath era server? You want to keep raidlogging for the next 8 years, clearing Icecrown Citadel for the 153th time?
I knew Cataclysm classic was going to be a thing, but this is the dumbest way they could have approached it. I refuse to believe the majority of Classic players want classic cata over Wrath. No TBC-Era server(s) was bad enough, but no Wrath-Era is on another level.
we want wotlk era...
you would think that blizzard had learned something from the downfall that started from cata onwards i don't like that expansion at all and i would rather stay to play wrath
Cata is not classic, the minute you destroy/remake the old Azeroth it stops being classic altogether.Watch the subs plummet hard.
Wrath and TBC Should had gotten Servers. Cataclysm is what destroyed the Old World, Ruined Class Quests, Dungeon Quests, Zones, Older Dungeons with Remakes and Reboots of Raids, and tons of stuff that is already in Retail WoW that lasted for a longer time even after Cataclysm ended. So Cataclysm is still not Classic. Vanilla, TBC, and Wrath were Classic because atleast they respected the Old World.
the vocal minority doesn't even want flying in retail. Why would they want anything that anybody other than themselves might want ?
The entire point of classic was pre cata.
