So, to date, it’s lost 85%. Or something like 4% per week; as an ‘average of lose’.
From May it lost 50%; beginning May’s poplution vs end of May’s population. Which, again, is likely due to Cata’s release (pop’s downward trend started after April 24th), and dropped (decently) again around MoP Remix release, which was May 16th.
Will need to see what the next ‘tick’ shows which should be around June 11th, to show what the previous week did. It’ll probably still be trending down, but there won’t be any other WoW releases cannibalizing the population.

((Also, anyone that’s going to compare to Era’s readout, seems IFpro dropped most of the server stats for that.))
Probably high since there is no content to skip for a level increase like how people skipped pre-nerf tbc p5, and ulda in wrath. It will prob be like the resurgence which hit in trial of the champion.
I don’t think my friends will come back to SoD, meaning it is much less likely that I will too. Since they have completely abandoned the game in Phase 3, then why won’t they do it again when Phase 4 comes out ? It seems less likely each day that the ‘new raid’ they will bring out will actually be decent, and it seems more likely they will make us sit through every level 60 raid before the ‘new raid’ even comes out, IF it does.
Yes they did, even before P3 came out they said there would be a ‘new raid’ for level 50, but it just turned out to be Sunken Temple LOL. Now they are saying there will be ‘additional end-game content’ but only after ZG comes out. They might lie again and not even bring out a new raid. Many people rumoured that it would be Karazhan Crypts or a raid in the outdoor Scarlet area in EPL. But given how P2 and P3 has been I’m not going to hold my breath. They have a track record of lying the last 5 years or so.
Are you trying to use corpo lawyer speak that people use as loop holes as justification for why it’s okay for them to scam you? For real? Are you an npc?
I think its good to be honest. We all went to Cata but most of us are already tired of it and are chomping at the bit at coming back to SOD. It’ll feel like an expansion release and I think it’ll be hugely popular
Imagine taking a bunch of random bads from SoD or Era and having them run a Mythic+ key in Retail right now, imagine the disaster that would ensue.
Now imagine Cata. That’s the reality of Cata right now. I went into a dungeon last night. I’m not even kidding you we didn’t get past the first pull. The tank couldn’t survive the very first pack of mobs, I ended up just leaving and playing Retail. That one incident cancelled my Cata for the night (because you also incur a 30 minute AFK penalty, gg).
