Yes. Part of why I have said that sharding is needed only at launch, because the launch numbers (returning players + BfA additions) are going to be absolutely insane.
I am actually seriously hopingânot that Classic will convince Blizzard to change what theyâre doing with Battle for Azeroth, never thatâbut that some other morepigs will be inspired to revisit some aspects of Classic WoWâs design, or their own early design, or just stop following WoW.
I wonât disagree with that either.
I think WoWâs overwhelming success has been a detriment to MMORPG development overall. Companies are afraid to rock the boat and try something new and different, and that has hampered innovation in the genre.
If I may ask. What is your first language?
Think about this comment one year from now. Weâll see how popular Classic truly is.
P.S. Classic will eclipse BFA immensely in concurrent players.
Portuguese.
Sheâs Brazilian. Check the server.
no it wont. you bookmark it, it will be funny a year from now. most gamers dont care about classic wow
theres nothing wrong with me predicting less than a million after a year, get over it
You replied to me but Iâm not the op. I donât have to prove anything because I didnât make claims. Itâs on you to prove your claim and not on me to disprove it. That goes for everyone not just you. I can deny it all day long until you provide solid proof to your claim.
the future cant be proven so you are wasting our time by asking me to do it.
its a prediction, get over it
If you expect it to fail then why even come here? Seems like you just want to troll is and ruin our fun.
less than a million isnt failing. this is a niche game and the numbers will reflect that imo
i could be wrong, or it could be even less. we dont know how the market will react to classic in 2019. i dont think it will be wildly popular, but that wont stop people from playing it
TBH, I agree with Felshout
I think that long-term success for Classic will be numbers in the 500k to 1M range-- IF Blizzard does nothing else but leave vanilla static servers and never goes on to BC Classic or something like that.
I do think heâs wrong that the numbers will drop off sharply very fast. I think things will stay well populated until many people are able to get through Naxx, or are else be able to do what they want to do.
if you are talking about BFA i agree with you.
i dont play bfa, it didnt look any good to me.
Guys you are thinking only in america market, there are a lot of people that will play in china and EU.
So classic can easily keep 2M+ players in total.
When I read your replies Iâm reading it in Anderson Silvaâs voice.
Mm hmmm. Thatâs concrete proof. Iâm gonna just drop this before I get in trouble.
In my experience those Iâve spoken with who do struggle with English didnât sound this forced. Like a couple posters Iâve noticed here.
Also the more they read and wrote English the better they got.
Who woulda thought that?
Carrying on.
My apologies.
Sometimes i try write english exact same way that i write in portuguese only changing words.
I need lose this habit.
You donât have to explain yourself or justify yourself to him. Itâs fine.
