WoW Classic TBC's release date has always been a hot topic among wow classic fans, but Blizzard has not officially announced it.
A
month has passed since Nano
and Staysafe covered the leaks. There's been
someone claiming to work at Blizzard leaking the information about
TBC. Everyone thinks he is a liar, but he is consistent and adamant. Here MmoGah.com would like to share his
leaks with fans, and most of the content is quoted from this Reddit
thread.
I'm
not advocating for these or claiming they're true, and I only want to provide a
single compiled list that will mostly be confirmed or debunked this month
during Blizzcon.
Server
Information
All servers will be transitioned to
TBC on May 4, 2021
All servers will get a Pre-Patch on
April 20, which will unlock Draenei/Blood Elves and allow Shaman/Paladins to be
leveled by the opposing faction prior to TBC server transition on May 4, 2021
Fresh Vanilla servers will launch on April
20, 2021
No plans for Fresh TBC servers
Classic forever realms will be
released around launch, and you can pay to copy your character to these realms
Tokens and 60 Boosts will be added at
some point during TBC's lifetime
Content
Release Schedule
T4&T5 content will launch on May
4,2021
Black Temple/Mount Hyjal will launch
in Nov 2021
Zul'Aman will launch in Feb 2022
SWP will launch in Aug/Sep 2022
The
leaks are complete than before, and there should be more credibility than
before.
Many players left their comments.
Here I list some of them as below.

"I
also don't believe anything posted by dubious sources, but this list is pretty
much exactly what I want, minus giving paladins both of the exclusive seals.
I
can play Fresh Vanilla servers and Classic forever realms since it's the best
version in the game. I never have to move. It is replaying 70 for the fun fad. I
wonder when the forever 60 realms will launch. Is it the same as classic launch
or faster cycles? Also, is there no mention of PvP seasons? The honor gears are
pretty impactful."
XxxxNateDaGreat said:
"Yeah,
I don't see either of those happening. Never say never, but these are probably
the biggest things that would piss off a majority of the classic community
enough to go back to private servers."

"You
can consider the situation from Blizzard's point of view.
They
want to release tokens and 60 boosts to make more money. The only thing
stopping them is that it would cause a player outcry. So what's a logical way
for them to handle it that minimizes the damage?
First,
some "unconfirmed leaks" spread the idea that they could happen so
that players can get the information without pissing them off too much. Anyone
who doesn't like the idea can tell themselves that it isn't real (first stage
of grief: denial).
Then
players have a few weeks to sit on this discussion until Blizzard's
announcement. When they announce that the 60 boosts are real, players won't feel
too great a shock since the idea has circulated in players' heads for a while.
The announcement is packaged with all the other details about TBC, highlighting
their presentation to get players hyped up. This gradual strategy is an
effective way to get players to accept a product they don't want to have."
Owarren said:
"If
there is a fresh TBC server, as well as a continued from Classic one, all the
players would stay where they are with their established community and existing
character. The fresh TBC server would have a different kind of community, but it
is not a bad thing, I guess. However, if they fully wiped for all TBC servers,
loads of players would quit."
Seraphynas said:
"Classic
forever" realms require you to transfer your character. That would split
the players into three ways.
I
would be shocked if Blizzard decided to split the population since they have
already gotten several lower population servers. Splitting them further would
make classic wither.
Also,
why will the "classic forever" servers change to transfer servers?
Why not leave the current classic servers, make TBC servers with one free
transfer, and players should pay more, so Blizzard can make more money."
Darknecross said:
"The
biggest thing about the T4/T5 in TBC is that PVP Arena is going to capture a massive
portion of the gameplay loop for players, and season rewards are in lockstep
with the tiers. So S1 with T4, S2 with T5, etc.
T5
geared players Zug through arenas while folks have no resilience from S1 gear will
exacerbate the PvE for PvP anti-meta and perhaps even turn folks away from it
permanently. Imagine playing against a T5 Warlock, and there's no resilience to
reduce DoTs. I'd be OK with them stacking raid releases on the same PvP Season
cadence, e.g., every 3-6 months."
"It's
a start, but this content pacing is still insanely bad. All three tiers are available
for releases within four months, and when will the Sunwell drop? Even if you
have ZA to fill the gap, it is a raid that will exist purely for catchup gear
and the mount, which doesn't exactly the same staying power as ZG does with the
idols. I hope it doesn't turn out to be true."
CLYDEFR000G said:
"I
don't understand why the leaks revealed Dranei and Blood Elves before TBC release.
That is impossible. They would change their start zones to Troll/Orc and Gnome/Mage
since the Dranei and Blood Elf zones won't be accessible. It just seems weird
to me, and this is a simple solution if they are worried about people crashing
the server."
Arkeez said:
"We
need :
-
Time gated raids, so T4 release is OK, not T5
- Fresh new TBC servers + Progressive ones
- Delayed Classic fresh servers (it would be awful to launch them in the same
window as TBC)
- No token and no boost to 60
- Adjustments of faction imbalance
- Nerf of drums of battle
- Pre-nerf raids
- Original itemization (not 2.4.3)
- Original attunements (revered)
- AOE nerf release
- World buffs nerf and consumables revamp releases
- Gold and item restrictions for Classic characters to TBC
- Guild bank release
- No leeway and no spell batching.
Let's
do this the right way, and Blizzard can do it."
Staysafe also shared his opinion
in his video:

"I
really hope this is not true, and I hope Tier 5 won't launch. That would be so
bad. Would it be possible to get T5 raid gear? T6 comes out during arena season
1. When you're doing arena season 2, Black Temple and Mount Hyjal will launch in
November 2021.
Zul'Aman
will launch in Feb 2022, and SWP will launch in Aug/Sep 2022. There is no
additional content during seven months, and you're just sitting there doing the
content from the first day.
I know Tier 5 content will come back in one
day. That's such a bad comparison, and it's a stupid thing to bring up. People
did not get into T5 content too early, and half of the content was broken, and
you couldn't even kill it. It took people a long time to get there and learn
the attunements in Tier 4 content.
Fresh vanilla
servers will launch on April 20, and they are going to launch one month before
classic TBC servers. They should not do that, and that's so incredibly. I think
they should launch fresh vanilla a couple of months later, maybe four or five
months after TBC comes out.
No plans for fresh
TBC service, and it means no 1 - 70 TBC servers. The only TBC servers are going
to be 60 – 7. If this leak is to be believed, classic forever realms will be
released around launch, you can pay to copy your character to these realms, and
it's going to be a paid service to keep your character on. I think they should
have classic forever realms where you can keep your current level 60 characters
in stasis, a clone of them on a classic forever realms, and you can keep doing
classic stuff. If you want to choose but have to pay to do that."
All
in all, the above leaks are not confirmed by Blizzard, and they will be confirmed
on Feb 19-20 during Blizzcon.
