Around 3/27/20 Blizzard sent out the following survey:

Thinking about the potential ways a player could start a character in "Classic" Burning Crusade, which of the following would you prefer most?

Please select one:

Continue playing my current Classic character on my existing server as it progresses to the Burning Crusade expansion, with the option to transfer to a Classic server that will never progress past level 60.
Start a brand new character from level 58 on a new Burning Crusade server.
Start a brand new character from Level 1 on a new Burning Crusade server.
Continue playing my current Classic character on my existing server that will never progress past level 60, with the option to transfer to a Burning Crusade server.
None of the above

Observation 1: It is possible that Blizzard will do something different from the options listed above. What I get from these options is that the Classic servers with the levels locked at 60 will remain in place whether BC comes or not.

Observation 2: Due to the timing of the question and the state of Classic, I suspect BC will come out in some form around Spring 2021.

Observation 3: Classic+ content is not mentioned. Classic+ is new content specific to a Classic server such as new zones or new raid content.

Update 8/22/20: Reference with EverQuest Progression servers.
