So not classic?
Cause adding things to classic makes it not classic.

We’re all rooting for WoW. I rooted for BFA but its losing millions of players and millions more in $$$. Imagine all the sub money from the millions of players who left. That has to hurt.
Losing subs and counting.
I hope the philosophy of Classic and its success will open Blizzards eyes for when they release the next expansion. I’m rooting for it. I don’t mind LFR, pet battles, Mythic +, achievments etc. What we want is an MMO and make sure to slap the RPG part on there.
Progression doesn’t inherently equate to RPG. RPG is a niche and its what WoW players all are mainly familiar with. Again, I say I’m rooting for the next expansion. Also for anyone reading this, I don’t hate BFA at all. I’m just bored with it often. Its not that bad at all but I can see why the 2 million people unsubbed.
The world isn’t black and white. All of those people who left BFA aren’t necessarily anti-BFA. They just unsubbed. Thats it. They want wow to be good. No doubt.

Doesn’t matter how hyped it gets most people won’t stay and pay for a MMorpg that will never get new content ever.

As a longtime World of Warcraft player, even I don’t know whether Classic servers will be a success. My guess is once the initial wave of tourists dies down, there will only be a small core group of people left. “That’s OK,” Brack assures me. "I don’t think that’s wrong. There will be a core group of people who are really excited, and that’s the game for them and that’s the thing they want to play.
Lets not interpret these words as “Classic is going to fail”.
Everyone in the community is preaching this exact response like Christians do the bible. We know that the initial launch will be large, then it will die down.
Small, doesn’t mean 100k or 500k. The only thing we can objectively know it means in this context is “significantly less than launch”.
Subjectively, it goes to with team we’re rooting for. etc. Are you pro classic, anti-classic, pro-bfa, anti-bfa. Not all the same crowds.
Launch will probably be massive. Multiples of milions. More than Legion’s own population.
Most of the people who are going to play at classic launch, haven’t played wow since Wrath. Most of us current BFA players, are in the minority. Most of these people will try to play Classic and they might go and try to play BFA as well. It works both ways.

Then where do you go from there? All these people boasting about classic then talking about other expansion servers confuse me because none of them answer this question.
What happens a year or two after the server comes out and every one is in their BiS? What then? There’s no new content coming so what’s there to do then?

Everyone agrees with you.
No one wants to play classic for 5 years straight, maybe 100k do but most don’t.
That is why they discussed doing progressive servers based off of Classic. Like taking the classic servers after Naxx releases, and adding new never before seen content to the base of Classic.
Like a new raid, new races, etc. All capped at 60, based around the original classic servers.
Progressive classic servers. Based on the philosophy of Classic itself. This is being discussed and a possibility by the devs themselves.
Also they could continue the legacy servers by doing BC and then Wrath. There will be content after Classic either way.

Nobody ever said that. What I said is that what is happening is exactly what Blizzard expects to happen. Lots of initial interest with it dying down after. I think you classic people have it wrong. Nobody wants classic to fail we are just sick of the constant spam and trolling of “classic will kill retail”, “classic will force retail to change”, “classic will be more popular then retail”, “retail is trash classic is the true RPG”.

I’m not preaching that, but I believe it will have more subs. Thats not anti-BFA.
I’m rooting for modern wow. I want it to be successful as well. I just think the anti-classic people have it wrong.

And I think that is flat out a fantasy. Also it is not about “subs” since there is one sub, it is about primary players. Will classic have more people exclusively/primarily playing it then BfA? I see it as more a value added service for the sub. It gives people something alternative to fool around with when they have down time with BfA+. I definitely don’t think it will come anywhere near BfA level of dedicated players though. In the end though there is no point even talking about it since only time will tell.

That is what some of us were discussing here in this thread a little.
The devs responded to and openly discussed the possibility of doing progressive servers based directly off of the classic servers.
Taking say the classic server, after naxx dropped a few months ago, and adding a new raid never seen before to the game. A new tier set for lvl 60 etc. New content and progressing the servers. If the population is there, then this could very well happen. Its too early to tell where it would go.
Everyone agrees though, playing BFA for more than 2 years after the last raid drops would be annoying. I’d personally play classic forever, just making new alts and maxing out on 60.
Hey. I still do that with Skyrim. The same content… over and over again. I don’t mod or anything. I enjoy that. Truly. Since 2011. I’m doing a run currently.
I know and I accept that i’m in a tiny tiny minority of people here. For the rest of the classic crowd, they’d love to go onwards to BC and then Wrath or to the progressive content servers.

That is not what a classic progression server is. A progression server is BC, Wrath, Cata, ect. It is not brand new content.

the next expansion with be a copy past of bfa m+ esprots same rng and maybe more ap to grind unless all this changes classic wow will over take retail because its a better game.
There is a lot of good in BFA. I enjoy a lot of these things most of the classic crowd hates but I think it’d do the next expansion justice by returning to the good design philosophies that made WoW grow in the first place.
We enjoyed those things and they’re fun. People collectively are leaving BFA and aren’t enjoying the game.
I truly believe that the next expansion will take the good parts of both. Maybe at least change a lot of the base game in modern wow. This is what I want.
If they did a lot of classic’s philosophy into the new expansion after BFA, I’ll have no reason to play Classic or BC servers etc.
They might take the Old School Runescape route and develop new content that just fits the theme of vanilla. I think just rolling through old expacs as progression would be a bit weak.

For the general audience? I would imagine most would level to 60, get caught on the dungeon/raid progression loop, and quit when it becomes to time consuming/tedious. With a smaller core group of people who do persevere and push into raiding.
But only time will tell.
But you shouldn’t get new content because it wasn’t in classic. This is why I’m not buying the hype. People want classic, but then want more or newer stuff added because they know it’d get boring after a while. Adding in new content isn’t classic, it’s just making WoW all over again and ignoring the bad stuff.
Going to note I do plan on playing classic. There’s a few starting zones I really want to check out in classic.
Could you point me to where this was said, please? I only recall them going to the end of Vanilla.
