How many people will only be playing Classic?

I think if a majority of people don’t want Retail at all, then maybe there should be a lower sub for Classic only?

I wish Blizzard was thinking that way. But if you read what Ythisens posted, it sounds like they don’t care about those of us who would rather have a separated sub.

@Ythisens

As for the notion that you don’t want to support modern WoW… then don’t. You do realize we’ll be able to see which one you log into and actually play right? Meaning internally when we look at metrics we can easily determine that you only support Classic.

Yes, they internally look at metrics, but who believes they’re going to admit what number play only WOW: Classic? My expectation is we’ll see a little bragging about how many people came back for Classic, but also downloaded and logged into Retail (because the flip side of those of us who aren’t sure we want to pay a Retail sub to get access are those who figure that because they paid they might as well try Retail.)

EDIT: Oh, and yes, I’m one who is only interested in playing WOW: Classic. The desire to go mess around on alts in Retail (with no BfA) “because I’m paying for it anyway” will be there, but I’m not going to give Blizzard that satisfaction.
