I simply said it sounded legit. BFA is absolute trash tier gaming, it only makes sense that the game is dying. And that classic’s combined sub is being used as life support to justify BFA’s continued existence.
The complete lack of sub reporting only reinforces this.
How many servers do you think Classic is going to launch with in NA? How many servers do you think there is going to be after a month?
They never are.
Well that completely depends on blizzard doesn’t it.
Amusing question given that BFA players are bored of each patch 2 weeks after it’s released. Meanwhile vanilla wow pservers have existed for almost 10 years.
Different technology.
Sounds about right, game began to suck even more than it already did, around that time.
What about all the people who pugged it? 
But for real, HFC marked a historic decline in long term interest in this game for a lot of people. For a lot of reasons.
Each raid tier has been more accessible than the last. Mhm. Mhm.
Could have exclude this whole paragraph from your post if you were earnestly looking to debate about it later. Personally I don’t want to debate you, but this chunk of text adds nothing to your argument.
Yup. Game sure sucks!
You just made this claim:
Does this not mean that you believe Classic will support BfA? Doesn’t that mean Classic will have to net more than BfA does without the aid of a cash shop? Doesn’t this mean you believe Classic will have much higher player numbers than BfA currently does?
Surely with all you know, you can give an estimate of server numbers.
You’re right, there’s far more players supported on a single server than there will be on Classic once layering is disabled. That means a Full or High population server on BfA will contain more players than a Full or High population server on Classic.
I counted over 6000 players on Stormrage on Thursday. Alliance side.
Just so long as they aren’t on my server. I should have posted on my Classic main. 
However you want to twist my words, the fact remains that a combined sub makes BFA look better to shareholders. It gives it the illusion of health with all the new classic subs pouring in. If they were in direct competition with each other, BFA would lose every time.
Just like it got demolished by a lvl 40 beta on twitch lol.
Now I know you’re not being serious. The raids since WoD have all been roughly the same difficulty with the exception of Emerald Nightmare.
23% fewer people clear the raids on Heroic now in 6 months compared to 14 months of HFC when the sub count was around 5 million. There’s far less incentive to raid now and this progression based game is all about incentives to do things.
Twist your words by interpreting what you said the only way it can be interpreted? ROFL.
You believe there will be over 200 servers for Classic in the NA region? What is your excuse going to be when Classic has fewer than 30 servers in NA after layering has been removed?
How are you going to explain that Classic is more popular than BfA when it doesn’t even have the same number of total servers as BfA does Full ones? What is your excuse going to be, just tell me now instead of making it up two months from now.
It doesn’t matter if you miss the point. And the point is that BFA needs to piggy back off classic’s success (for the 2nd time technically).
This doesn’t make sense. A almost dead BFA server is still operational due to all the queuing and cross realm systems in place. So having 200 ghost towns isn’t really a issue.
A Full population realm on BfA has over 6000 players on it during prime hours. Do this yourself, since you won’t listen to my facts.
Go online a Full population server and type
/who 1-90 Human Warrior.
Do that for every race and class combination at every level. The maximum it will return is 50 results so your numbers will actually be lower than what is online. I did this on Thursday on Stormrage; there was over 6000 players online.
4 million the first week. $hite, they’ll get 2 million just from BFA players creating a toon to check it out for curiosity’s sake… the so called “tourists.”
Internet forums and pserver populations are a small percentage of who will actually play it. Most gamers don’t frequent message boards or play pirated games.
Most gamers also don’t play betas or stress tests, so that won’t give us good data, either. We’ll find out Aug. 26-27.
This x100.
When they announced / released the new system in 8.2 I just rolled my eyes. Oh boy, more AP grinding…yay…keep that treadmill running.
If you’re listening / reading Blizzard, that was why I gave up on my alts. My Paladin and Warrior, sure. But the other two? Nah, I have no desire to keep up with it like that.
People are flipping out because CHINA might only have 8 servers. Not the NA or EU. And they said they have more if its filled up.
Maybe china doesnt care about wow who knows
I think they want it!
Mate you realize why cross realm zones were introduced in the first place? Because the world was dead, many servers became ghost towns. Cross realm zoning gave the illusion that people’s servers were active.
And even if stormrage (always one of the most popular servers) had 6 k players (assuming your method was even accurate) during peak hour…did you do that process for all 200 realms? lol.
…
The point I’m trying to make is a Full population server on BfA can have up to 6000 players online, maybe even more.
A Full population server on Classic will have 3000 players once layering is removed.
There are currently 23 Full Population servers in NA on BfA. Logic dictates that Classic will have to have AT LEAST this many Full population servers to be anywhere close to BfA in numbers.
I’m not even counting the other 200 servers in NA on BfA. If Classic has a maximum of 20 servers in NA, what will your excuse be to continue to claim that it has more players than BfA?
