The fact that Ion has been able to keep his job after WoD, BfA, and Shadowlands is just astonishing to me and is an indicator telling me that Blizzard extremely complacent and also they literally just don’t care anymore and are fine with being subpar and mediocre, they’re just not interested in quality likeable games like they use to be, they’re ok with just getting by.
Its like watching one of those episodes of Kitchen Nightmares where the manager is the problem and the guy just doesnt really care, but the owner is too afraid to fire him.

Players are doing instances to level not touch old world content.
Yes and no. Personally, when I level, I tend to utilize both options. There are plenty of people who level solely by questing, though. It’s just less effort to sit and wait for a queue, so a lot of people do that as well.
I’ve also read that some players are frustrated with having to wait for an extended time just for q’s to pop.
Are you on some sort of punishment layer?
I’ve never been to a soup that isn’t absurdly packed.
Are you playing at like, two in the morning?
Stop playing at 10PM to 3AM. Most people are asleep. Try 3PM to 7PM PST.
Despite their recent additions, we are still in what is basically the launch version of the game, and they haven’t added much aside from the raid and mythic+, which will only keep most people busy for so long. Still, there’s a lot of people playing at most hours of the day/night, even if those numbers dwindle a bit as an evening goes on.
I’m sure things have died down a bit since all we really have to grind for is renown, and that is a bit of a time investment. Hopefully they’ve got a relatively decent gameplan, because all things considered, DF has been going pretty smoothly.
Like a lot of people, I guess I’m always waiting for the other shoe to drop. But for now, I’m enjoying the game for what it is. SL did a lot of damage to the game, and they are going to have to do more than a decent expansion launch to rectify that. I’m curious to see what happens next.
It’s not the juggernaut it once was but it’s far from being dead.
The nonpeak hours are definitely harder to find groups. 3pm up to 1am is usually the best time to find groups.
I remember a time when finding a group was fairly instant for tanks and healers. Now things are different.
This morning they had the tank and healer que bonus up. I joined out of boredom and the incentive. 20-minute wait before the group formed and the dungeon started.

" * Blizzard had 45 million Monthly Active Users, up from 31 million last quarter"
That is a lot of users for Blizzard and their games.
“My friend list is more full than ever of people playing the game.”
^ Common response I get.
But I feel the same way. Full game feels more empty than Classic Era RP.

I don’t find either of these to be true.
Do you play on a RP server?
It isn’t revived like they thought DF would do.

I mean it is showing its age…
It was in the right place at the right time the only reason why It has a decent following…
I mean easily has a good 10-12 more years…
nah it ain’t dead but will never have that feeling as it once had. why you think there is only a few servers that are actually alive out of all of them because everyone got tired of feeling like the game was dead and packed on a few servers were it never really feels dead. people did the exact same thing on classic.
china, yes. everywhere else, no.
Hey another barely out of starter zone classic death knight posting a bait topic. Shocking!

The game has 117 million registered accounts according to FictionHorizon.
Closest thing I could find to a source there, and it just takes me to a main page of another games reporting site. I’m pretty sure everything is just rough estimations, they may be close to accurate, but no one knows but blizz.
If WoW was dead, would you know?
