Can we get confirmation of this date was community driven or shareholder driven?
Regardless if it was standard not everyone agrees with it, this phase especially. The argument that this phase should’ve been extended due to it’s unique progression system is valid, whether you agree with it or not.
MC and BWL were very easy, their pacing felt fine. AQ was very short and the holidays made it feel shorter.
Regardless of your opinion, a phase with a gated progression system merits being longer than it’s predecessors

End game has been nothing but old raids we have all done a million times on classic. I’m really excited about finally getting something new and love how soon it’s coming out. I really hope they add something new to pvp also.

Seriously though, it feels like these phases are shorter than the level up raid phases. I dont have any of that data to back this up, but 2 or so more weeks would feel good.
The devs are finally giving us a huge new phase full of brand new content for the first time in the history of Classic and all ya’ll can do is complain.
Just enjoy the game and play at your own pace. Nothing is stopping you from going into Naxx for the next 6 months if you want.

You think two extra weeks is going to make a difference? The sooner we get the players hands on phase 8, the sooner the bugs will get fixed. Blizzard doesn’t QA test their game in retail, they certainly don’t do it for nichè projects with 1/40th the players.
What?
Seal cap was released one week ago
And it is longer. And it will remain relevant longer due to the rewards.
I haven’t see a single dark edge of insanity / boi drop and now they wanna release p8. This is sick.
Naxx phase have a Lot of things to do and is being very rushed for no reason. We waited 1y of SoD for naxx common blizzard relax…

HM4 nets you 36 splinters. So no you arent going to have time to get 3 new Atiesh.
Try again.
I think they just wanna get it over with. SOD has been basically dead for a long time now.
Pretty active for being dead.
And if you want to go with that logic then Cata classic should have been canceled a long time ago.
Nowhere close to what it was. Obviously some people stayed but I think they know they messed up and are just letting it run its course. No reason to delay phases.
And…thats your opinion and its the minority.
Lots of people still enjoy it, more than Cata.
That’s just objectively false. There are more than twice as many people playing Cataclysm ever week. More servers overall and that’s at the end of Cata. Mists of Pandaria will bring a lot more.

Do you have any proof?
No one plays Cata…and if they do they raid log. I havent heard of a single player talking about Cata in months.
I hope you’re trolling. Go look at Ironforge Pro. There are 150,000 logs each week in Cataclysm, 19 different realms with anywhere from 5K to 10k players.
This is just accounting for people who have raided. There are a lot of people who aren’t raiding at max level and are just farming the new heroic+ dungeons to gear up for MoP Classic, farming gold, working on professions and tons of players leveling alts for what they want to play in MoP.
You going to say people aren’t raid logging in SoD? I have a guild in SoD and that’s all there is to do right now.
Of course Cata has less forum posts, is that a surprise? Cata is a re-release of an old expansion. It’s going to pick up a lot when MoP comes out this summer and the player base grows.

And every single one is low pop, so gtfo with this 5k-10k players.
Yes, I am sure there are “a lot of players” just working on stuff in Cata. lol…
new patch is announced
“OH MY GOD TOO SOON TOO SOON BLIZZ IS RUSHING THROUGH THE CONTENT”
Literally every single time, like clockwork.
Even back in 2019 classic, when phase 1 lasted like 7 months, people were whining and moaning that phase 2 was “too soon”. It’s bizarre.

If you’re going to be a troll, at least try to be a good one. SoD only has HALF the players as Cataclysm and far fewer realms. Over half of the Cataclysm realms are equivalent to a SoD realm.
Almost all of the Cata realms are single-faction. 7-12k players when it’s one faction is a lot bigger and lively when everyone is playing together and using the same capitol cities.
Cataclysm also has cross-realm dungeons and PvP.
You are welcome to hate Cata all you want but denying that it’s more popular than SoD is just copium.
