98k down to 74k. 25% drop in one week.
Bigger drop off than usual.
Era has more players than the most populated SoD server.
How low we gonna go, fellas?
What are the cataclysm #'s though?
Blizzard cares about combined sub counts, not SoD alone.
50k, but the raids just dropped yesterday so who knows?
So then they’re up to 74K+50K = 124K.
That’s a net increase. The company is probably happy about it.
SoD will be back, but it’s on hiatus. Just gotta find another game to play or put your time/energy into IRL endeavors in the meantime.

False narrative. Between peak classic and SoD they were at 1.1million+ players.
Between Cata and an abandoned SoD they’re down to 124k.

Kind of funny how the devs defended SoD’s current state and a delayed phase 4 release by focusing all efforts on a good cataclysm release. Go look at their forums, the expansion is a total flop and the community is in disarray.

I haven’t even looked at their forums yet. Is it that bad over there
There are more than 50k people playing Cata lmao
Active characters according to raids uploaded to Warcraft Logs and characters on PvP Leaderboards
Gotta wait for the numbers to update next week. Cata raids just launched yesterday - the 50k people were just logging old raids for some reason.

It has more bugs than sod. Bad ones. Guild chat was missing, spells were missing, arena vendor giving free gear. Those are just a few of the greatest hits but there are so many.

Sod isn’t buggy, it’s just boring

youd think with delayed raid release for people to lvl there would be more than that considering SoD had over 300k parses in 1 week of p2
Many people are not 85 yet including myself and I recall leveling much faster from 25-40
so with months of knowing this was coming/prepatch your only just now leveling a character? your are 100% in the minority of cata players. most people who are playing cata are coming with their toons from wrath.
It’s called summer is basically here now and have been outside much more, I started at 80. Probably hitting 85 tonight though.
Most people who are playing Cata are not zerging to 85, they’re the minority.

lol and 25 to 40 was shorter? what are you smoking?
Northern Lights
25-40 was quick as hell and the main thing was having more time since it was late Winter, if you’re looking at the perspective of overall amount of days to reach max level it was definitely shorter for most players. No one had anything else to do.
