I wonder if this is accurate. I suspect that there is an anticipated number of subscriptions dropping off over time, and the regular bumps when new content is released. I suspect that they have so much data on this that they probably make relatively accurate predictions. Though of course, they didn’t seem to predict just how popular WoW Classic would be at launch, considering how many additional servers they ended up adding.
As this same topic seems to come up relatively often, I’ve had some recent comments that are relevant in other threads:
In any case, I’ve recently leveled up almost solely through Dungeons, with groups at-level, and had a lot of fun. I’ve also noticed in our Dungeon Leveling group that a lot of people roll new characters to test the waters before transferring, and lots recently are coming from Kromcrush.
