Classic Update in the Dev Insight Video

[Feydark-aerie-peak]

Wait, tens of thousands in the closed beta,

That many invites may have went out initially, but there are no where nearly that many players playing today in the beta.

Stormwind – 22 people
Elwynn Forest – 10 people
Westfall – 17 people
Ironforge - 3 people
Redridge Mountains - 8 people
Stranglethorn Vale - 16 people

You can see from these numbers, that thousands of people are not online.

With 20 servers hopefully blizzard will consider putting one of them into a RP-PVP server. Just change one RP server to one RP-pvp server assuming we’ll get two RP ones.

And of course let me peddle my wares here. If you haven’t seen this

#RP-PVP Realms, Reconsider One Realm

8/7/19 WE DID IT FRIENDS YEEEHAAAAAAA Hello everyone, I would like for everyone here to post, something as to add how they feel about RP PVP realms most likely not being added at start of classic. My goal isn’t to nag yell or cry about this, but ask blizzard to reconsider there stance, i feel that if this post is bumped enough with enough likes. RP-PVP servers, will be in some way helpful to everyone. We are only asking for a single server for this, nothing more nothing less, two would be gr…

/who doesn’t show other layers and other realms

We can assume that there is only 1 layer with those low numbers. Those zones have 60 or so players. I would guess 200 players per side, which is 400 total. If a layer consists of 1000 people, that would not even get close.

That is just the PvE realm, which is smaller than the pvp realm, but the pvp realm would need to be more populated than ND to meet the claim of tens of thousands of players.

So, what will it be on launch, 12 millions?

2-3 million at least.

[Shiyoakemi-illidan (Shiyoakemi)]

Can we please get 1.5 AV ?

[Fixiu-dalaran (Fixiu)]

wheee.

[Crispercake-draenor (Crispercake)]

cant wait this will be a crazy month.

[Priapis-proudmoore (Priapis)]

Any word yet on if the ability to create a focus target was intentionally removed or was it an oversight?

[Xjum-skullcrusher]

Those AV streams cut a knife right through interest levels
Shame they lost all of the pre-1.12 data
Without Naxxramas, it’s an abysmal patch to play

[Ashran-malganis]

Looking forward to a stressful end of this week!

[Pitercios-ragnaros]

the classic servers are offline?
today I was able to download the classic but when I log in I see the offline servers

Not that I’ve seen. I intend to test in the Stress Test and see if there’s any way to make it happen.

Stress Test starts tomorrow.

[Buama-proudmoore]

With my game time being some low level characters and the two previous stress tests over the past month I would have never watched the video to know they addressed classic at all. So I thank you for the link and pointing out the mention of the content I am waiting on.
When I saw the classic was added on my drop down today with live, ptr, and the beta (that used to be stress test) I got a little excited thinking I may have gotten closed beta access. With no servers available I figured it was for the testing tomorrow so I came to the forums to read up and found your post. Good timing sir.

[Tarregor-dalaran (Tarregor)]

hundreds of thousands of people tried getting into the stress test?
…no wait, he said helped with the stress test
but still, thats alotta people interested in the game

[Nicholasfury-eldrethalas (Nicholasfury)]

You found the 1 good thing in patch 8.2!
Impressive.

[Minnette-kargath]

your feedback has been so important in this process

Alterac Valley in Classic thread has 2200 replies and 79000 views along with at least a half a dozen new threads filled with people that are not satisfied with the direction chosen for AV in Classic.

ARE YOU REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO FEEDBACK?

[Sidearm-exodar (Sidearm)]

Well I intend to help tomorrow during the stress test.
For the Ancestors!
