based on the recent Census data aggregated;
h ttps://wowpop.appspot.com/
43,584 Alliance players are 60
25,575 Horde Players are 60 Total = 69,159 level 60 players
There is 2 Million players in Classic
I am sure these number are off and there are far more level 60 now with a +/- attributed.
But even if you tripled that number 69.159 x 3 = 207,477 players being level 60 out of 2,000,000 is still only 10% of the player base bro!
Gash is the man
I agree. Retail is there for the bleeding edge gamer.
I think part of Classicâs success is the return of us old guys nâ gals. If you rush us, we get grouchy and confused.
No point in really slowing release, MC will be raided till the servers shut down, guilds will breeze through it once a week to gear up alts, friends, pugs, while theyâre mains are doing BWL/AQ40/Naxx, its what we did in vanilla and what will happen in classic.
Remember people these hypocrites who post this, are same people who call other players âtryhardsâ âpoop socksâ âno lifesâ âbasement dwellersâ They want the world to cater to their lazy casual choice of leisure, and think anyone who spend more than a hour in this game is beneath them.
Sorry, but I donât want wait for my lvl 60 mage water cus you decided to give something your barest attention.
False statement. Iâm just a person who loves the game and doesnât want blizzard to appease a player base thatâs the minority of classic.
I donât understand what makes you so entitled to think that content should be withheld from others just because you level very slowly.
âBruh, Blizzard, come on. You gotta slow down that content release so I can hang out with my 7 girlfriends and work my 3 oil exec jobs while skyping with Bill Gates on my 30 million dollar yacht. Itâs not my fault these no-lifers enjoy playing a video game, you gotta slow down that content so I can catch up. No one is allowed to excel in World of Warcraft: Classic while Iâm around.â
@OP
If you want a game where content is gated and people are given time to catch up, BfA exists for people like you. The content release is going to be relative to what the game looked like back in Vanilla. More people are progressed, Dire Maul should have been out weeks ago before people started clearing MC in 90 minutes, because NO ONE cleared MC before Dire Maul was out in Vanilla.
Not just me but majority of the classic player base that canât play the game as much as you.
To quote from the site you linked:
As you may know, the census addons do not work correctly since september 19th
Congrats on citing month old info, please go back to kissing Rutheus
One thing to remember is those census numbers wonât account for alts, bank alts, players who have already quit playing classic out of boredom, etc.
While there may be 2 million characters created it doesnât necessary mean there are 2 million unique users.
Youâre in the minority of classic players btw
You arenât the majority.
What about the lil ole granny in Arkansas that levels faster than him? lol
Kidding aside, I think there is a happy medium somewhere between gogogo and :
Maybe?
Iâm willing to wait a year and a half for this guy to hit level 60 and so should everybody else. Dance party on your local mailbox for the next 18 months.
Missing the point
Friendly reminder of things that were released before most of the playerbase hit 60 in vanilla:
DM
BWL
Honor
BGS
and to a lesser extent AQ
and a reminder of things that became obsolete just because you werenât 60 when they released:
nothing
Thats why I multiplied the number x 3! Thats far more credible a number and Still 10% of the player base!
No, I played Vanilla and I was 60 before BGS, and it took me probably 7-8 weeks to get there!
Not at all, your missing the point. The game doesnt end because phases are released. When I started in vanilla bwl just came out, I didnât hit 60 until the following year in 2006 july. That did absolutely nothing to my gaming experience, I ran every dungeon, I ran MC. Now tell me why the people who play the game, for the end game. Should have to wait? And if you say because you donât have time to play the game, youâre delusional.
