World of Warcraft will stop cloning Burning Crusade Classic characters and offer the service for sale

World of Warcraft has had a Character Clone service for a while, and with a new iteration on the way, featuring Wrath of the Lich King classic recently introduced, it’s time to retire the current edition. Blizzard offers the service for sale in case you want to copy a character The Burning Crusade classic or World of Warcraft Classic.

The service exists as a way to copy one of your WoW Classic characters to a point close to that The Burning Crusade classic started on a BCC rich or a WoW classic Rich. Unless you have a clone to keep characters active on those realms, banned clones will be removed from the realms and will no longer be available after the service shuts down in July.

If you are logged in World of Warcraft classic or Burning Crusade classic but have not made a decision to move a character forward, those characters will continue to be found The Burning Crusade classic but the Classic era version will be permanently deleted and you will not be able to clone it in the future. In fact, all of these servers will progress to new content, so players will have to decide if they want to keep any characters on the older realms.

With the start of a new expansion and a new Classic era, it makes sense to update and allow players to access previous content with rules and restrictions in place if they choose. This gives you character Classic and or The Burning Crusade classic as the servers progress into the Wrath of the Lich King Epoch.

The service is now available for $5 compared to the previous price of $15 (which was previously lowered from the originally planned $35 until community outcry caused them to scale it back and will continue until be available by July 26th.
