If we accept blizzard’s claim that the launching of classic doubled wow subs that is mathematically impossible even if every single retail player also played classic.

Not everyone does a sub. I myself do month to month. Many retailers could have been on month to month, only coming back when there was new content.

@Feywaif-bloodsail-buccaneers

The health of the game is enhanced by the greatest number of subscriptions

Not if a large number of those are jumping back and forth between classic and retail, and a number of multibox bloat brought about by retail tokens.

@Feywaif-bloodsail-buccaneers

That’s why I don’t object to fringe groups like you getting fresh servers.

The “fringe group” is what lobbied for classic to even exist. The rest of the population is just enjoying the bundled sub.

@Feywaif-bloodsail-buccaneers

P-server players are a fringe group.

you are missing the point entirely. They were a solid metric for the popularity of each WoW version. Are you seriously handwaving this?

@Feywaif-bloodsail-buccaneers

The vast majority of vanilla players opted to progress to BC.

a) they had a choice between that and not playing
b) none of those players (beyond betatesters) knew what it would be like
c) there was no choice to remain on vanilla locked servers

@Feywaif-bloodsail-buccaneers

The vast majority of BC players opted to progress to Wrath.

see above

@Feywaif-bloodsail-buccaneers

In fact even with the decline in subs millions more players opted to progress to Cata than ever played on a p-server.

Again, you are missing the point of the above factors, and that PSs were literally metrics of popularity AFTER players knew what each expansion was like.
