Shadowlands is already over

AKA WoD end game. It was a tough time for the intergalactic alliance.

Big numbers? I havent seen any source revealing sub numbers? Do you have some source i dont know about
?

Last time I checked I can eat fine dining solo.

But you have more fun with a party and most tables seat more than one

you do realize if boosting is so popular its because the PvP gear system is actually way too good right? why would you pay boosts if it was trash in the first place. Blizz dropped the ball in balancing the PvE routes and thats why everyone wants a carry because even with VP PvP gear is still unmatched, specially this late since you dont even need to wait for conq cap anymore.

And theres also 0 reasons to risk RMT when blizz completely allows gold boosting in its ToS lmao.

Im acctualy curious how exactly Solo Q would exacerbate anything?

It doesn’t & it wouldn’t. People just don’t like solo players because of the “you don’t play the game the way I play it” reason.

I thought about this a lot lately.

Great post. It feels like too much momentum to reverse what is wrong with systemlands. The second patch usually is the best indicator.

But like BFA’s second patch it may be too late to turn it around!

Yep. If I wanted to play ‘Dance Dance Fever’ my console is waiting for me. The mechanics and affixes are getting really immersion breaking
all these pools of slime, swirlies, and laser lines (especially when they are the same color as the floor).

Doubt it but if it does it will be the end of WoW. All expacs that came after WoTLK were not good. Maybe MoP wasn’t that bad but the others were.

Classic is just to dull and easy to play. No challenge aside from the time sink. Anyone and everyone is capable of doing everything in the game and the structure is not really set any differently then retail if you think about. Both games take a time sink and skill to play. Retail is more focused on player skill for endgame and high rewards. Classic is more focused on time sink for endgame and high rewards.

Classic, TBC and WoTLK were fantastic games at the time. But by modern day standards they aren’t good games. If there wasn’t a nostalgia factor bringing players back, they would have no chance in the modern video game market.

BC is gong to be a monster.

I love WotLK but if there is one expansion which is a monster that could go 12 rounds with WotLK it is BC.

It isn’t the content that BC provides that drives players to BC. The atmosphere of BC is going to sneak up on a lot of people that never played BC You will see.

I don’t see any reason why it’d be different to how classic works.

It’ll just be played like retail, only in an easier game. Short of lobotomizing players, you can’t actually reverse the decade plus worth of knowledge that many players have accumulated over the games life.

People will solve BC and crash through it’s raids in hours, not weeks and then the only measurement of progress past that will be shaving minutes or seconds off your speedrun.

BC is a total MMORPG experience and back then it wasn’t the content that drove players to play BC. What drove players to play in BC was with their friends, family, etc.

As an expansion BC has very sparse content but it is rich in other ways which systemlands, BFA and legion can’t compete with.

You must be out of your mind. Blizzard caused many of the issues that classic had by not creating enough servers and trying to help balance some of the servers (pvp) that ended up being one faction servers. I know people who quit out of frustration from that.

But outside of that, Classic is doing well and will do better than what many people think it will. Some people just cannot seem to understand that many of us do not like what retail it. Whatever you would call it. It is not an mmo at this point though.

That’s what people said about classic too.

There will be plenty of people who prefer it to retail for whatever reason, just like how there’s tons of people who prefer Classic Vanilla over retail.

But you can’t recreate mid/late 2000’s WoW and TBC Classic (and Wrath Classic, once it gets released) will be played like Vanilla Classic is, as a modern experience on an older game.

Sure, I don’t know why anyone would want to go and play an inferior version of it instead, but if that’s what your time is worth to you then knock yourself out.

At least admit to yourself that Classic participation took an immediate nosedive once the nostalgia surge wore off, though.

Classic was a huge success.

I am predicting BC will be much bigger. BC I think is going to easily double classic success. BC may even dwarf retail much sooner than anyone wants to admit.

BC is a monster.

People talking about WotLk but forget the groundwork for WotLK was laid down with BC. Back then expansion used to add to the base core game.
