Predict the Subs for Classic Thread

We were talking about servers in another thread which lead to Sub discussions and thought a fun thread to make would be a “Prediction” thread on stating how many Subs at launch, End of year then Mid-Late 2020.

Maybe a fun discussion and maybe we can refer to this thread after the smoke clears and the actual numbers are history and see “WHO” was actually the closest on their prediction. I will go first.

You are ridiculous. Launch 1-2 million. 6 months to a year later, settles in at 500-800k.

I’ll bet: 1 dollar, Bob.

The Price is Right bid, since Blizzard will never announce the answer.

I predict 9 whole people with the possibility of 10 after a year and maybe an eleventh a few years down the line. However depending on balance they might lose a person.

Honestly? Probably 2m at launch and 5-6m a year later.

Launch 2 Million.
2 months in 1.5 million - 8.2 if it’s decent
6 months 2 million 8.2 is on farm
2 years if 9.0 is awesome? 1 million
2 years if 9.0 is BFA ver 2? 3 million.

Looks like a reasonable estimate.

2-3 million at launch.
300k one month later.
500k 3 months later.

Interesting breakdown going with other retail content.

Huge drop off I respect it. I know where you are coming from. Guess you don’t think the Rank 14 grind in Phase 2 will be appealing? Or not appealing enough?

I’m guessing around 3-4 mill at launch.

After some time I see it leveling out at around 2-6+ million based on if it catches on, and if the current game improves.

Look through this forum since the stress test, at the number of complaints about congestion or slow levelling.

3-4 Million first month.
Less than 2 million second month.
6 Months in near 1 to 1.5m

What does the stress test represent? Think the people on the stress test is a tiny % of the people that will play at launch. Also what does a stress test have to do with PvP grinding in Phase 2? Not following there.

If Blizzard was smart they would allow an open stress test for anyone that wants to play. That way we can actually get some crowed servers and people not able to get in.

Like the majority of players waiting for Classic we aren’t subbing until Aug. when the game launches. So they should open up stress test for all these people waiting.

I don’t see classic breaking a million. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking with it.

Forum is full of the worst of wow. That’s why I’m here. Hope blizzard doesn’t ruin the game for the forum minority again.
