Level 58 Boosts Apply Only to Burning Crusade Classic, Not 1-60 Classic Era Realms

TBC Posted 2021/02/24 at 7:22 PM by perculia

Hello.I think it might be helpful to note that what we’re now calling WoW Classic Era realms start at Level 1, and we feel the same as we did two years ago: no Boost would ever be needed (or appropriate) there. When we originally laid out our principles for WoW Classic, the 1-60 experience was the only thing to which we could refer.Burning Crusade Classic begins at level 58, and we’re configuring this new Boost service to avoid minimizing the accomplishments of existing players or skipping any new content at launch. It’s for players who want a way to quickly join their friends in Outland.

Comment by KryzMPeople will still not like this.Comment by Sielinthadopting a stance since WoD? Cata? I honestly can't remember when we first started getting a free boost

meh I think it's fine given the limitations placed on it. it's about making the game accessible these daysComment by AbsoluteRTDThis is probably the first time I will ever be happy with Blizzard allowing a level boost. I know people who hated classic but loved TBC but before Blizzcon announcements, they said they wouldn't be playing tbc classic because they didn't have any motivation of spending months leveling a character 1-60.Comment by TheLustfuladopting a stance since WoD?

It gives me PTR nostalgia that I enjoyed more than the Live game honestly. It focuses truly on TBC and not the whole game as a whole. Because like they said, if you want to experience 1-60 you can do that. I was dreading having to level 1-58 on a blood elf or draenei, even if I had a level 58-60 already on Classic.Comment by joeymagzadopting a stance since WoD? Cata?

Big question that needs answers; making it paid would be a mistake.Comment by TheLustfuladopting a stance since WoD? Cata? I honestly can't remember when we first started getting a free boost

meh I think it's fine given the limitations placed on it. it's about making the game accessible these daysComment by SeniaaPeople complaining about this are absolutely crazy. NO ONE wants to go to the launch of a release and be "forced" into spending well over a week doing completely irrelevant content while everyone else gets to do the new fun stuff.

If you roll Draenei or Blood Elf to play the "new" classes for your faction, that's one thing, but someone just wanting to be an Orc Hunter or whatever shouldn't be left absurdly far behind.

Also, even then the people that don't boost and have been playing Classic since the get-go are going to have their massive gold stockpile as well as whatever gear they have had along the way (granted anything before AQ-ish gets replaced with HFP gear).Comment by Dazogogadopting a stance since WoD?

That is so stupid. What difference does it make? Why are these races singled out just because they were added in TBC? It makes no sense.Comment by NulgarWho honestly thought they would be useable in Classic?Comment by NecrodogeWho honestly thought they would be useable in Classic?Comment by Bobert76But is it free though since its limited to 1 per account?
