i’m really curious…
will blizzard ever say the numbers?
Do you own Activision/ Blizzard stocks? Do you get invited to their board meetings? If not, you’ll probably never know as they do not share this data in their quarterly financial reports.

I’d be more interested in what the regular player base is rather than who has left. Subscription numbers for classic may have gone up since then. Simply looking at who has left doesn’t really give an accurate picture of the health of classic

Considering, you cannot post on these Forums without an active subscription, you won’t get an answer to this question. I should know, I let my subscription run out once, and I was unable to post on the Forums, including the Classic Forums. Once upon a time, you could post without a subscription, on the Classic Forums, not anymore.
Hmm. Not sure if this is true or has changed. But I did not have an active subscription from 2008 til classic release and I posted before classic was released.
4 days ago, I couldn’t post on the forums due to no active subscription. Unless, it changed within those 4 days (doubt it), you need an active subscription to post on the forums. Just like I said.

I think anyone that has quit classic is probably 80% went back to retail and the other 20% that quit came back for classic and didn’t like it for one reason or another.

the trip to 60 was fun and the trip through the PVE content is fun but WoW naturally lacks depth as most themeparks do.
in retail this is fixed by a new pve raid and a new rep or bar to fill every patch.
in classic unless you WPVP there’s no depth to keep a player engaged.

Eh, BFA burnt me out with it’s artificial progression systems with each new patch. Each to their own, I guess.
millions.
but that’s only if you count the very superficial players who dropped off after the first month, or tried it for like 2 weeks.

Unless you RP. Unless you’re an altaholic. Unless you like Classic.

Nobody has the numbers – not even Blizzard.
How do you define “quit”?
How do you define “plays classic”?
How do you define “active player”?
Blizzard knows subscriptions, but Classic is FREE if you have a WoW subscription. So there aren’t any Classic subscriptions to count.
Are you asking about people who play every day? What about people who play both games? What about people who swap back and forth every week? What about people who play for a month?
What about…oh, the list is endless.

Who knows and who cares?
The biggest thing I’ve noticed is how much harder it is to find people who want to group up and do a dungeon rather than just lay or trade carries.
And it’s only been 5 months.
I’m a bit concerned what it’ll be like when all phases have been released.
maybe many people who joined classic? only played it to try it.
But i made a bet with friend regarding those who stopped logging classic anymore, so i wish to know what is the amount of wow classic logger at first 1months and the avg amount of logger into classic atm. but i guess blizz doesn’t have the nerve to tell.
People will quit a few months after Naxx comes out, cause i don’t see how people will not get bored of the game never updating anymore, except those die hards who will run Naxx for the rest of their lives. People unsub during droughts of content, but classic will literally run out of content after Naxx.

invalid. you can like shallow things.
a lot of the terrible streamers went back to retail, which is fine by me.
