it will go back to being dead af. lmao. all because you want cheaper AH for what, 6 months before it’s the same?
Most people quit at p5-6 anyways. Most people don’t play wow to simulate an infinite server. They ply for all the aforementioned early game activities which is why there aren’t 5k people playing.
I play eta too, but I only play it to burn time every now and then till fresh

One could argue a lot of the current growth of classic era is because of a want for fresh and just playing what’s available…Your idea of “natural” growth could be entirely wrong here my guy.
I don’t know whats so hard to understand. Era isn’t popping off because people are going to level a character to max and raid. People are playing Era because SOM is over, WOTLK is stale, Dragonflight is stale. They are literally killing time till a fresh comes out, and if it doesn’t they’re unsubbing.
You have to be straight up psychotic to think that this boost in era toons is sustainable or is going to meaningfully contribute to the population.
I’ve been online for over an hour trying to get a deadmines group as a healer on medium pop sever and haven’t gotten a single whisper. Stop with this classic era resurgence nonsense. Going from 100 to 200 people doesn’t mean much.

Era is definitely the best version of WoW that is available right now imo, but a new interesting som is definitely what I’m hoping for.

Bars. Well said
I have no sub and can still post, try again bud.
vanilla really is a game meant to be played longer than a normal expansion cycle or a season. i do admit it is very fun leveling on a new server with everyone, after that there is no point to seasonal gameplay where ur toons just end up in era. they need to update era first before any fresh happens

You need to keep trying until something works. To just give up and quit will cost a lot of money in the end. They may fail 2 more times before they figure it out, but when they do it could reignite the wow community. I think it will be classic+ eventually, but we only get there if blizzard keeps trying.
Totally believable. Lol.
/S
Why lie?

THIS! What’s the point of making a toon to make arcanite or mooncloth if it becomes useless in a couple of months.

For progression purposes?

Yep, that’s it, “progression.” So, SOME can blast through obstacles as quickly as possible so they can get better gear, so they can blast though content faster, so they can complain that the content is too easy and there is NOT enough content.
Sadly, the persistent world takes a back seat to an over glorified dungeon crawler.
era is never going to be updated
i don’t think you quite “get” this game

The bottom line is that era is like playing the sims, and fresh is a progressive server that ends after its over.
If you can’t understand that then idk what to tell you

okay. If you don’t understand the difference between era and fresh fundamentally then I can’t help you.

Have you ever played the sims?
I ACTUALLY get the difference; you want a game where everyone starts at zero at the same time. You want a RACE, where there are clear winners and losers and more importantly an end and a beginning.
I want to take part in a persistent world. While playing with and against and sometimes just coexisting with, other human players. Where the guy who never hit level cap, but has fun playing, is the biggest winner.

That’s great! But players who want fresh don’t want what you are looking for. They want a 0 start and a finish. So they don’t want what you do. Why then do you say fresh isn’t needed if this is the demand?

Dozens demanding something won’t make it happen. I am pretty sure Blizzard remembers SoM and how it went the first time. You’re just 1 person of a few that want fresh.
Nobody else cares and are enjoying their time in Classic Era leveling new characters.
