The pre-patch announcement wasn't the only announcement to WOTLK Gold upset players in the WoW Classic community. The introduction of various paid services which were never available within WoW Classic or the original version of Burning Crusade, have also raised eyebrows. Pre-patch is a level of 58 for characters, which is known as"Dark Portal Pass, "Dark Portal Pass" is available to purchase once per account for $40.
However, the new Blood Elves and Draenei characters can't be increased. This boost has been accused of being misleadingly titled boosts characters to a free mount, a set of high-end gear along with some gold, as well as bags. In a game in which it takes up to 100+ hours to complete the levels, gold isn't easy to come across, and bags and mounts can be costly, and the boost has also triggered "pay-to-win" conversations. The digital deluxe edition the game is being sold for $70--which includes a mount for both Burning Crusade Classic and World of Warcraft 's current expansion, Shadowlands--as well as the character boost, an in-game item and a unique World of Warcraft effect for Burning Crusade.
However, players may be the most upset by the news that players must pay $35 per character to "clone" an exact copy of their own character so that it is playable in both WoW Classic servers as well as Burning Crusade Classic servers. Current WoW Classic servers will be automatically updated in the direction of Burning Crusade Classic on May 18th with the pre-patch.
The cost is not a thing (other that the regular cost of a subscription, which includes the possibility of playing WoW Shadowlands, Classic, and Burning Crusade Classic) is needed to play the Burning Crusade, but for players who wish to remain in each version of WoW they'll have to pay a $35 fee for cloning. Many players have stated, the entire Shadowlands expansion is only five dollars more than cloning your character, which further demonstrates how costly the fee is.
In all honesty, it's quite a lot of money for a game that a significant number of players were drawn to due to its lack of extra paid services or cosmetics. Players on cheap WOTLK Classic Gold the game's social media are already complaining that Blizzard appears to be taking the same approach for Burning Crusade Classic as it has for Shadowlands along with other recently released expansions, all of which supported the ability to purchase new mounts, pets, along with other in-game items and services in real-money.
