About the TBC progression

[Reito89 0]

What does it mean both Nighthaven and Stratholme will proceed to TBC? Does it mean like once they reach TBC content progression will it replace the “Vanilla” state then TBC comes out like where some classes are then viable or will it be seperate server released? Because I’m kind of thinking if I should play a Mage now here in Vanilla state or play as Shaman but I never healed so thats why Mage is my only option as preffered DPS caster then later on if TBC will replace Vanilla state then Shamans will be viable which is my preferred class specifically Elemental Shaman. Because I don’t want to reroll new level again just to change class from being Mage if it is so that TBC replaces the Vanilla state rather than separate server then I should play Shaman now instead or ?

The thinking behind TBC progression is to upgrade the servers to TBC  once Blizzard releases their vanilla servers because pop will decrease, which tbh makes perfect sense.

Now, we will not enter TBC phase anytime soon, to be precise, it will take like 12-13 months according to them, so play what you want.

We will be able to copy our characters to TBC servers and continue playing from lvl 60 (you do not have to lvl all over again), however, that does not mean your vanilla lvl 60 char will be deleted on vanilla server, you'll basically have two exactly the same chars.
