As depicted in the graphic(s) above, Blizzard should leave all Classic realms forever, but also copy them forward to TBC’s pre-patch using the same realm names.

We already run Classic from a drop-down menu item on the Battle.net launcher, and seeing your familiar realm name and community when you first startup TBC instead of Classic doesn’t seem strange to me at all. This structure would quickly evolve Classic’s realms into cross-expansion communities, complete with retro runs and 0-80 leveling races. This would be the least disruptive choice, as every player faction involved in the debate over Classic/TBC transition would get exactly what they wanted.

The graphic also shows refresh realms, which I think should happen before the TBC beta comes out. For many of the former private vanilla server players, the fresh realm-wide race was the actual appeal. If Blizzard doesn’t address this desire soon, they could end up recreating the private vanilla servers thru inaction. 

On a side note, I agree with Kevin Jordan that severe faction imbalance on some Classic realms (if Blizzard ever attempts to correct it) can only be done with faction login queues. Transition+ would actually facilitate doing this either before or after the TBC/Wrath releases, as players would be able to consider unified transfers of their character(s) from one realm name to another across Classic, TBC and Wrath.

Adding more and more realm names with each expansion just turns the solving of any population/balance problems into chaos for players.

Warstone I completely agree with you I have been dreading the change for I missed all the nostalgia of Vanilla and would love to at my own pace continue. I also love many mechanics of classic, even if and when all the bugs happen. I easily get overwhelmed with massive content and enjoy how finite vanilla is but not if that makes sense. Meaning it still is a process to get to end game, and doesnt take the fun away it adds to it. I agree they should be separated because I would love to have the option for both. I also thoroughly enjoy paladin being alliance specific and shaman horde specific. my own opinion.

      <Fun is for Casuals> is a serious but casual horde guild on US-Hyjal. We are serious about raiding without the intense hours. Even when recruitment status is none, we will accept exceptional applications for all classes.
      Our raid times are Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30PM to 8:30PM server (PST) with raid invitations sent out a few minutes prior to that.
      We're interested in you if you fit the following criteria:
      Raid attendance is essential. We don't want people sitting on the bench but we also want to make sure we're raiding 6 hours per week. We expect you to be available for at least 90% of our raids. Be on time and prepared for raids. This includes flasks and other consumables. Discord is mandatory and a working mic is desired. You're appropriately geared for our current content. Effort and thought have been put into your gear/gem/enchant choices. You wouldn't show up for a job interview looking like a *filtered*, why would you apply to a guild with improper gems or some insane spec? You're up to date with your class. We expect our raiders to perform to the best of their abilities. You have a computer that's not run with hamster power or requires a hand crank. Some encounters are taxing on a computer's resources so if your toon can't even handle Orgrimmar it's not likely to do well with 20+ whelps that need AOE'ing. You may be interested in us because:
       <Fun is for Casuals> uses the personal loot system. There is no loot council, or DKP. We won't eat your babies the first time you stand in something you have no business being in. Repeatedly do it and we'll break out the bibs and BBQ sauce. We provide a limited amount of consumables and flasks on hard mode raid nights.  Discord isn't a circus during raids. We're focused on the job at hand and you should be too. We don't want someone to miss a an interrupt because they were distracted by fart jokes. We are not interested in you if you fit the following criteria:
      You roll on BoE items then sell them. Unwilling/unable to spend an entire evening on one boss during progression. While this is rare, it can happen. Drama queens. If you have a problem bring it up to E. This is his job. Don't announce it in guild chat or during a raid. Your issue will have nothing to do with 99% of the guild. You are 17 or younger. We try to keep guild and discord chat PG-13 but occasionally a few four letter words appear out of nowhere. Additionally, we don't want someone's mom interrupting their raiding to get homework or the dishes done. Follow the instructions at https://gow.gg/fun-is-for-casuals under the Recruitment tab if you would like to apply.
