The OP is seeing servers that were modified for increased capacity because the queues were too long.
The thing is not a proper measurement, not even close.
those layoffs happened to people the company deemed no longer neccessary, non where developers. The company is pushing for a more developer based role in the blizzard department cause blizz is so awsome at making NEW IPsâŠwaitâŠ
i am seeing non peak time retail wow has 10 full servers and 10 high pop servers and wow has only the streamer server as the high pop.
thats what i, seeing.

Will you use your brain? THE SERVERS. WERE MODIFIED. FOR INCREASED. CAPACITY.
Increased capacity from where they were, not increased capacity to be more than retail servers.
I mostly was joking, but Iâm sure Papa Activision would have many questions for Ion and his team if the very unlikely possibility of Classic out-subbing BFA came to pass.
How do you know that?
I said what I knew was backed up by a Blizzard tweet. Whereâs this new thing Iâve never heard coming from?
What I donât understand is why people canât just be cooperative and see the positives of both existing. When retail has a lull in content (like the one we have now) people will flock to classic for something to do; when something new comes out on retail, boom, population expansion and a migration, which just feeds retail more money to do bigger better stuff. Now you run into a content lull again, which will always happen. People will flock back to classic for something to do between.
This is an extremely good problem to have. For the players, for Blizzard, for everyone. It is an ecosystem that benefits all. Stop pitting one against the other. The whole system is cooperative not competitive.

so you saying classic wows high steamer server is modified and has x2 the people of retail wows high server? and how is it modified?
Because no company would invest capital to increase server capacity for something finite when their current product has been shown to have a larger pop base?
You wouldnât increase capacity of server for Classic to be more than retail when retail has more people than Classic, thatâs simply backwards from a business perspective.
The tweet did not say that the server pop cap was larger than retail, only that they increased in size.
Server size for Classic was originally within a few thousand cap if memory serves

No the grass is green. And thereâs science that goes behind that to prove it. All we have with your claim is a hypothesis that would be great in a 6th grade science fair.
I donât get how you couldnât read this the first time.
No evidence of anything, got it.
âThey wouldnât!â

i can see 10 full servers and 10 high pop servers on retail and only the streamer server being high pop on classic.
I would love to play retail, but Classic will have to do until Ion has an epiphany, or lets someone who understands why the game used to be good take his place instead.
People blame Activision, I blame Ion. The biggest decline the game has had started with WoD, and class design has consistently been bad since he took the helm.

You were proven on why that doesnât matter with evidence.

oh no you are correct in that statement, infact this is what iâve been fearing for some time now cause so far the Activision side has been content with blizz side on wow cause it still makes money and thats literally all they care about. The layoffs where a wake up call cause bfa broke records in their sales and the company still downsized the blizzard half which means activision is starting to take issue with the staleness blizz has had over the years. Star craft is dead, its not getting any more attention, heroes is being abandoned in favor of (throws up a little) overwatch. If wow team cant turn this negitivity around in the next expact or so the game looses its (protected) statis.
What evidence?
A random tweet that doesnât show any actual numbers?
There is literally nothing anywhere online showing what server capacity was before increase or after.
Youâre simply assuming that the cap was the same as retail with no evidence.
When we know, from Blizzard, that they underestimated how many people would be interested and had to increase and make new servers.

then there is no evidence of your modified server unless you are calling layering the modified part.
right here show your bias hate for retail and why you cant accept the evidence.
because you refuse to and thats not my problem.
