Is Classic's playerbase way bigger than Retail?

Omg we totally gotta therapy together :joy:

You won’t get a clear answer to a question only you can answer.

How about you learn to make up your mind on your own instead of joining the Hivemind? Go experience both for yourself and stop letting other peoples opinions dictate your actions.

This happened in Vanilla. And Burning Crusade. And Wrath. And


Try both. Play what you like. You’re not shooting for World First, from what you’ve said, so take your time.

Not true! I liked ur post
that’s something, more than nothing anyway.

The boards since the patch has just been silly, by the time Friday rolled around

Not sure if I’m gonna ‘miss’ all the people who ‘quit’ in the four days that their complete lives have been utterly destroyed, irreparabley damaged, forced to shed bucket of me-tears all for the sake of ‘shareholders’.

Derp to having to suffer the indignity of playing the game

For real! I been on GD since MOP and the culture here hasn’t changed the slightest. I could make posts that would give me ez likes if I really wanted too.

GD does help me remember the usage of your and you’re/you are.

However while I was in a BG once back in the first 4 months of BFA, someone whispered me “you’re the guy from the forums with the ugly mog!” One of the highlights from the forums.

Classic and Retail each have their advantages and saying that one is objectively better then the other is moronic at best.

Like, classic has a more methodical process that leads to players having moments of glory and a sense of achievement that comes with finishing a zone’s content that you don’t really get with Retail and that’s great!

But on the other hand it’s also laden with a combination of pointless time sinks (lousy drop rates, towns not having smelters or anvils or fire places), mob packs that are way too dense to be able to reasonably handle without a party, trap specs
 all of which makes the game feel needlessly tedious.

As to Retail, it’s got a crap ton of content, loads of races and classes to play with and unlock a much faster play style
 but the writing gets really bad at points and the Azerite system has some problems you will need to get your head around.

Also, server identity is dead.

almost every complaint is about battlegrounds
the reddit and classic general are in flames.

depends on time zone. I play during the time when majority are sleeping so there are few folks. During morning times there are quite many players.

Classic is doomed to fail. As long as blizzard refuses to interact with the player base classic will never be able to succeed.

Classic is what was promised essentially, if it fails, then it’s due to them being right all along about the whole “You think you do but you don’t”.

If you were expecting them to go to the old school style of GMing that’s not going to happen.

I played classic for 3 months before I quit it, and I will say that I had more fun in those 3 months than the entire BFA. The problem with classic is that all the content has already been out for over a decade and everyone knows how to do them the best and fastest way possible so it kills the fun when doing dungeons, raids, and AV.

I think if you have to ask a group of strangers whether or not you should play ‘x’ version, you should go play classic. Enjoy.

At this point the best is probably to unsub and wait until a year into Shadowlands before considering wheter or not to come back.

Based on the info from wow pop it looks like classic has close to 10m characters made but it looks like only about 220,000(ish) of those characters have been active within the last 21 days. Not sure how accurate it is but it seems to make sense.

Because Activision are not letting the World of Warcraft team the appropriate time (Ridiculous deadlines), staff (They sacked a ludicrous amount of people) or resources that should be invested into the game. They care about quantity & money, instead of quality & assurance to the player base (Which if they were not so blind - would realise ultimately makes them money).

As Blizzard cannot separate from Activision, I’m personally hoping Disney go through with buying them. I’d rather personally rather WoW’s fate be in the hands of Disney, than Activision.
