WoW Classic gets character boosts and copies – for money

You will soon be able to spend more money on WoW: Classic and Burning Crusade Classic. At least if you want to copy a character.

At BlizzCon 2021, there was a little more talk about Burning Crusade Classic (TBC Classic). The developers have revealed a lot, especially about the transition between the Classic era and the era of Burning Crusade. That’s where the players have to make important decisions.

Each player has to decide individually for each of his characters whether he wants to move on to the future of Burning Crusade with them or whether he wants to switch to an “eternal” Classic Realm.

To help with the decision, Blizzard is also offering two new services for money that should make the decision easier: a character boost and a character copy. We have all the known details.

What are Boost and Copy in TBC Classic?

The two services are to be implemented together with the launch of Burning Crusade Classic.

Character boost is coming: Along with Burning Crusade Classic, Blizzard is also introducing a character boost. This is to ensure that players can dive straight into the action on Outland and not have to play through the Classic world again.

But the boost also has a number of limitations so that it doesn’t cause any major problems. This is all the information about the boost:

  • After the boost, the character is at level 58, has the normal riding skill and some blue items, appropriate to the level
  • The boost cannot be used on draenei and blood elves
  • Only one boost can be bought per account

How expensive the character boost will be is not yet known.

Character copy for undecided: If you are not sure whether you want to travel further into the worlds of Outland with your character or just stay forever in the Classic era, Blizzard offers a third option.

There should be a new character service that will allow a character to be copied. Then you could copy your character at the start of TBC Classic and continue playing it on a Classic realm while taking the same character with you into Outland. From there on, the characters are of course independent – copies that are detached from one another.

How expensive this service will be and to what extent it is available has not yet been clarified.

Do you think it’s good that Blizzard is offering these options? Or do you see this as the creeping introduction of the cash shop into the Classic era?

Our author Benedict Grothaus is looking forward to Karazhan – probably the best raid of all time.
