Isn’t ‘World’ of Warcraft supposed to be alive and vibrant online world full of players? We went back to the Shadowlands and Dragonflight and Even Dornogal, there is NO ONE there! Hmm. maybe Blizzard should trim out all the old content as soon as they are no longer current so to avoid giving the player the impression that it’s a large, empty and useless world.
We are currently on a pilgrimage going through all the expansion hub cities. Let’s see how many people we will bump into tonight. Hopefully we will see more than 3 players.
But that also means the Game Design Issues since the majority of the players are interested in the recent content and the rest of the game is boring to them
Ya, players are bored by content they have done before. Shocking.
It’s a nonissue really. In real life they update places to draw crowds. In the virtual world, there is no point in doing that since space is infinite - why rebuilding an existing area when you can just build a new one.
That’d be absolutely awful. One of the benefits of playing smaller servers is that you can get empty/mostly empty zones to go play around in. Funneling every server together in the old zones would ruin that entirely.
My theory is they are eventually going to release expansions with only the new zones included, and access to older expansions only through instanced content that serves the purpose of the current storyline. They don’t want people spread out in ten old expansions. I think a radical change is coming in the next couple of years.
