Not a good look at all considering sod been out over a year and most players raid on multiple alts
There were more BGs open yesterday than players on Crusader strike
I logged over there on my sod toon the other eeek and there were zero ABs open on AB weekend on a Friday
SOD might be good for their raiding content, but that’s literally all there has going for it.
If people actually cared about good raid content tho, you’d think they’d hop on the band wagon since it’s never beeen easier to get 60 with xp increases, 1 copper runes, basically a red carpet to 60 yet people aren’t doing that
Your assumption her is that the population drop-off means the game is dead. This wholly incorrect. There are still nearly seventy thousand players actively playing SoD, which is pretty substantial.
Interestingly, Helldivers 2, one of the most successful games of last year and still considered popular to this day, shows a similar trend. They had ~458k peak near release, falling to ~65k current.
SoD is not dead.
Interesting. Based on what I can see when I log in it does look like ironforge.pro (which I believe reads its data from WCL) is fairly indicative of population numbers.
SoD does seem to have far more people standing around capital cities, as well as interacting in chat channels and groups. Era has far, far less. Anniversary could be on par with SoD.
I expect the number of logs for Anniversary to rise but the point isn’t really whether or not Anniversary is more populated than SoD, it’s really just that SoD isn’t the dead came its haters would have us believe. I’m not even sure what the point of that is. Like, Era is my main game… so what if SoD is something others enjoy?
Being the 2nd least populated version of classic when it has the lowest barrier of entry to raiding out of any of them is not a good sign. Its just Cata for people who can’t do cata raids
Then share your negative feedback. However, all you’ve shared so far is that SoD’s population doesn’t surpass some value that you’ve decided it should, while the game you presumably advocate for (Era) actually shows less raids logged than SoD.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like SoD either, but clearly it’s delivering an experience that some people enjoy. Your opinions on why you don’t like SoD are valid, but false claims about “dead game” are not useful to anyone.
I remember when I said raid gear would end up on the vendor and people absolutely flamed my thread hahaha. Shame I deleted the character I made the post on because I can’t find it anymore.
