I am not much for watching other people play, but this was linked too me and I figured I would share it with you.

It will surpass retail if it follows the path of old school runescape with a level 60 only poll system.
Reason OSRS surpassed RS3
Edit:
Classic WoW is so vastly different from Modern thinking; and yet the future of gaming.
Why should we add things to “Classic” when the point of the game is to go back to the original game?

Except we can literally look at runescape that released an unedited classic that eventually died to retail vs. The new old school runescape with its modern poll system.
Its like blatantly ignoring already tested system simply to ignorance.

If Classic proves to be a monumental achievement again, then building a Classic inspired game is the best action…
Modifying Actual Classic WoW is foolish because there are those who spent the last 12 years asking for Classic WoW.
I don’t think it would be wise to take that from them considering that the raw amount of replay ability exists in Classic by default that a player can be entertained for literal years.

I am in 100% agreement with you on this, my man.

ROFL look at the Main World of WarCraft page…
Even Blizzard now admits this is massive; they have a countdown to Classic on the front page. The reality is seeping into Blizzard’s inner working and there is nothing they can do about it now.
We have reached Critical Mass my friends, we’re about to become a star.

No… they are selling out to the twitch population. The exact same thing happened with BFA. This hype will last about 4 weeks just like BFA did. Then the exodus will begin.

We’ll see.
I fully expect launch day to be atrocious and the population to drop off sharply. We’ll be down to a sustainable, comfortable “tens of people” situation by the end of Phase 1.
If I’m wrong, I’ll eat my Xbox One controller. With lots of syrup.

You say that, but here we are… WE told the modern WoW population this game is here to conquer.
You can continue to live your life that is a lie.

Classic is coming!

Lets remember something. This happened because a group of dedicated fans persisted until it happened.
Just because a bunch of opportunists are pouncing on it for the pay day doesnt mean this pop culture will last.
These streamers will abandon classic the moment their followers do. The harsh reality of classic game play will hit the scrubs much quicker than BFA did.

Classic is literal YEARS worth of content to do…
BFA is a couple months of content…
Do you see the problem with Modern WoW?

Classic wow brings in 5+ million subs.
Then they like oh we should do BC. BC brings in millions. Then do WOTLK. Then maybe cata…but stop there.
Hahaha really? At 1.12 eh?
Keep telling yourself that and frankly if the masses couldnt down herpic ghun with 20 people there is no way they are coordinating a 40 person raid.
I highly doubt the followers are going to be well received in these guilds farming low level content. Just wait for the min/max mentality to come out and watch what happens.
you’re failing to understand the concept, that’s alright; some one else can explain ti too you.

The game is unreleased, it’s still a novelty, many have not played it despite watching others.
Many will start. Many won’t get to 20, much less 30 or 40.
It will get stale, and the grind will wear on people.
And the key differentiator between Classic and Vanilla, is that with Classic, players have an alternative to play that’s a mouse click away. In Vanilla, they did not.
Not only is the alternative a mouse click away, they can still chat with their friends online no matter where they play.
Or, something like that.
A mage and I got trapped in the Skittering Dark. Died 5 times trying to fight/get our way out. Perfect Classic moment stuck deep in a cave surrounded by respawns. It was funny. It was fun. I giggled. But this, too, gets old.

You are failing to grasp the population they are trying to attract. Essentially the population that walked away from BFA. Those are the toxic players that will dominate classic due to their poor marketing campaign.
Could not agree more! It was great to be back in the real WoW again.

it surpassed it for other reasons, mostly the OSRS devs are avoiding every single failure that slowly built up to build RS3. It’s amazing what 10+ years of continuously dumb updates, all under the guise of “quality of life”, can do to a ga me

More people have played and quit wow than bought bfa. You think the majority of people coming back are players that quit bfa? LOL

No i said their current target audience are bandwagon twitch kids that quit BFA through their streamer marketing. Have fun with that.
