📋 WoW Classic Realm Population Statistics - January 2020 - Do You Guys Know a Better Source of Information?

[Raven-azshara]

You can’t even bother to watch the first few seconds of the timestamp and accurately quote the video.

I watched it, the problem is you didnt watch a few minutes longer when he presented the exact number from the engineers.

[Delimicus-heartseeker]

EVERY night at PRIME-TIME in the U.S. ALONE there are:

• 500 Molten Core instances (15,000 players)
• 150 Onyxia instanes (2,500 players)
• 250 Blackwing Lair instances (6,000 players)
• 700 Zul’gurub instances (10,000 players)

Did I make it easy enough for you? This was also in 2005, over a YEAR before TBC. You’ve lost this, just admit to being woefully wrong and move on.

[Suraknar-deviate-delight]

No, the video clearly states the number of raiders (35k) was factual and pulled from the engineers.

That number is indeed not an estimate.

I was refering to your contention of the ironforge.pro accuracy. It is an estimate based off an average metric and not a actual numbers.

The video does concur with the statement that only a small percentage of players raided in Vanila.

those numbers actually add up to 33,500 (less than 35,000)

im not sure what your point of bolding that people raided every night…Molten Core wasnt cleared in 28 minutes in vanilla. Guilds raided the entire week and didnt necessarily clear it. So those were the same people raiding…

[Edge-ashkandi]

Data on static populations will be mostly meaningless from all sources. The only metric that’s remotely interesting is how how many people are logged on during peak times and non-peak times. Numbers on total population can’t tell you which ones are still active and which ones are alts.

[Delimicus-heartseeker]

Guilds raided the entire week and didnt necessarily clear it. So those were the same people raiding…

Oh my god, lmao!

Watch. The. Video.

“But I’d like to point out that most raiding guilds do Onyxia once a week, and they do Molten Core one night a week, so this is different groups that you’re seeing.”

“On a lot of servers, we will see 500 people in Molten Core at Prime-Time, every day of the week.”

“On the weekend, like right now, there’s gonna be 35,000 people in Molten Core and Zul’Gurub.”

How about you do some honest math now instead of this garbage:

So what percent of WoW’s playerbase raided according to your source?

35,000 / 2,500,000 = 0.014 = 1.4%

Also completely ignored this:

Q. Overall, what percentage of level 60 players do you think have killed Ragnaros?

A. I don’t have firm statistics, but my gut feeling is around 25 percent.

Q. And what about Nefarian?

A. From the gut, I’d say maybe 15 percent.

[Delimicus-heartseeker]

Kaplan contradicts everything you say.

Stop trolling kid.

“From my gut” is a factual basis for numbers.???

He says in the video he has no clue what the numbers are…but the 35,k raiding number is accurate because he got it from 2 programmers that had access to it.

[Delimicus-heartseeker]

Yeah, the 35k number is accurate.

“On the weekend, like right now, there’s gonna be 35,000 people in Molten Core and Zul’Gurub.”

RIGHT NOW

Also doesn’t include Onyxia or Blackwing Lair in that statement. Can you please admit to being wrong now and go away?

[Raven-azshara]

RIGHT NOW

Its the same people raiding all week. People did not clear raids in 2 hours during vanilla.

[Delimicus-heartseeker]

Okay buddy, selectively choosing which parts of the video to believe and which parts not to believe means you’re at the end of your rope.

Have a good night, try to find something better to do than trolling a video game forum.

[Stalingrad-faerlina]

Can’t tell if you are trolling or actually trying to participate in the discussion - if it’s the latter, thank you for the conversation. Even though I completely disagree with you there…

[Bluebarymore-incendius]

their information either contradicts with the actual numbers, or is highly inaccurate.

how do you know this? what are the actual numbers?

[Bluebarymore-incendius]

and the reason why blizzard doesnt post numbers, is they dont want to show a shrinking player base. it is not good for stock holders

[Bluebarymore-incendius]

I feel people would be able to make a more informed decision on where to roll or transfer

yeah but it’s bad for stock prices.

[Kandlejack-grobbulus]

Man, I cant tell if youre just stubborn or if you’re really as thick as you’re showing here

[Kisa-deviate-delight]

You’re right - I do not know the actual numbers, but I have high level characters on multiple realms, and I participate on forum discussions on these realms. When the whole realm - Deviate Delight - says we need more Horde, and the websites show that there is more Horde, than the Alliance, I know that these sources are presenting false information.

and the reason why blizzard doesnt post numbers, is they dont want to show a shrinking player base. it is not good for stock holders

-that’s what I mean when I said “we all DO know why” in the clip

[Stalingrad-faerlina]

probably both

[Twobbles-heartseeker]

I don’t see the Horde leaving their comfy servers to come to Heartseeker in droves; double standard after all the P2-preBG threads. After all, I thought the Horde liked to kill Alliance, or is that only when there’s a near even realm balance, or an over the edge advantage?

[Drytoast-myzrael]

Horde players who wanna live that pvp life can solve their own problems and reroll…

But horde players are not about that pvp life, are they.

I love this. I hope all pvp servers end up being 99 percent horde!
