When the pre-expansion patch for The Burning Crusade Classic is released on May 18, WoW Classic players will be able to choose between progressing each of their characters to TBC gold with the rest of their realm or continuing to play the original WoW Classic content on brand-new Classic Era realms that will be launched on the same day as the patch. The optional character cloning service (available May 18 for $35 per character) will allow players to continue playing a copy of an existing character on a Classic Era realm while also progressing into the Burning Crusade Classic realm. Players who wish to experience the best of both worlds will be able to do so.

One of the features that Blizzard has emphasized since the announcement of The Burning Crusade Classic at BlizzCon in February has been the ability for players to choose whether or not to stay on Vanilla servers or continue their journey into Outland. One of the caveats to this is that it will be a permanent choice whether to buy WOW gold and remain in their current position or to advance their character.

It follows that, in order to enjoy both Vanilla World of Warcraft as it was billed when Classic launched in 2019 and the additional content and features included with Burning Crusade, players will be required to pay $35.

It's also important to remember that World of Warcraft Classic gold does not incur any additional costs beyond your standard World of Warcraft subscription. If you're paying a subscription to play Modern World of Warcraft, you'll get access to Classic as a bonus. For those who prefer to play Classic, the additional $35 required to clone a character may seem like a kick in the gut.

Many others on Reddit have expressed their displeasure with the fee, stating that $35 is far too much to pay for the convenience of having a credit card on hand.

Yes, it will have a significant impact on Classic-only players, unfortunately. Most of the people I knew were on the fence about whether or not they were going to clone at all, and most of them would have done it for $10 just to be on the safe side of things. They're not going to do it for $35, for sure.

In addition to the $35 WOW gold for a game that is included with the basic subscription, others have pointed out that the price of the Deluxe Edition, which was announced on Thursday, is absurd, especially considering what is being offered.

It is expected that the Deluxe Edition of The Burning Crusade Classic gold will provide players with an assortment of cosmetic items in addition to a new Hearthstone that will feature a brand new animation. Players will also receive the Dark Portal Pass as part of the Deluxe Edition, which is a character boost that will bring a character up to level 58 and ready to begin their journey towards the Dark Portal. The character boost is $39.99 on its own, which is an absurd amount of money to pay for what is, once again, a purely convenient service. Despite the fact that it costs more than some AAA titles, players are slamming the Deluxe Edition for not providing enough content to justify its high price. This is because, as previously stated, access to The Burning Crusade Classic is included in your regular World of Warcraft subscription and is not included in this package.

Some players on Reddit, on the other hand, are defending Blizzard's decision, claiming that, like every WOW TBC gold seller, they are in the business of making money. And because WoW Classic gold is included in the subscription - the same subscription that would also grant access to modern, retail WoW - they must find a way to cover the additional operating costs. However, despite a 29% decline in player numbers over the last three years, Blizzard actually saw an increase in revenue during the most recent quarter of fiscal year 2017.

Blizzard's response to the feedback will be interesting to see if they take it at face value and make adjustments before the May 18th launch date, as well as how this will influence their decisions on future expansions to the Classic experience.
