World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic

World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic (shortened as BC Classic or BCC and often called TBC Classic) is a server option for The Burning Crusade announced at BlizzConline.

Characters on progression realms will be able to continue forward to Outland while characters on era realms will continue on World of Warcraft: Classic. Players will also have the option to pay to create a copy of their character in order to continue playing on both realms.
