I don’t get the drop off either as Classic will easily have over 10 million Subs. Since we got phases the Sub numbers will grow over time. I am most looking forward to the additional phases as well for PvP rank grinding and of course BGs. Then who doesn’t want to do Naxx and then PvP all day with this amazing gear.
Vanilla was addicting and Classic will be just that. Each phase will keep people playing and bring in new players as well. I think the latter Phases a year from now is when the game will peak. Phase 5-6 will yield record breaking Sub numbers finally beating WotLK.
Put it in the books!
Classic is the Future of WoW
