This is going to be DOA for many if not.
Did you read the post? Yes they’re banning them.
Now they need to give 2 week minimum bans out to the handful of people constantly asking for something they’ve definitively lost the argument on.
They addressed this in the post
DoA like sod after they banned gdkps
wahhh wahhh DAO like SOD wahhhhh, let me buy gold wahhh sniff sniff.
Ya oddly when they announced the GDKP thing the population barely moved one way or the other.
After people decided they really hated the raid for phase 2 we saw drops and phase 3 between incursions and the raid being unpopular we saw a big drop. Only place anyone even talked about GDKP was here on the forums which should be a vacation since it’s a TOS thing in this form of the game.
As we saw with SoD, GDKP bans just resulted in people losing the biggest reason to make alts which caused the world to feel dead and empty after the initial wave of people hit 60, despite the fact SoD had a huge free exp boost and tons of conveniences for leveling, the population tanked immensely. Needless to say for an actual vanilla server with normal leveling, not having GDKPs to motivate alts is a death sentence, these servers will be ghost towns by BWL.
But badfaith kids who irrationally hate GDKPs even if it kills the game will be able to sh1tpost on the forums, and that’s all they care about.
Haha, dude all those GDKPer alts are sitting in Mara for 20 hours.
How is it that WoW was so popular in 2004 when GDKP was unheard of?
People did GDKPs in the original WoW, not sure what you’re talking about.
Even if they weren’t, you can’t compare a brand new game in 2004 to a re-launch 20 years later.
Think before you speak.
No, they didn’t.
Of course you can…that’s how comparisons work.
Think before you speak.
On the topic of thinking, what were you thinking when you said you can’t compare two games to one another?
I noticed these words right above your quote:
Go sell Dark and Darker gold for a bit. No one was running GDKPs in 2004, they were lucky to clear the raid. Lie elsewhere.
So you concede original WoW had GDKPs, good, your concession is humbly accepted.
SoD wasnt DoA.
An interesting interpretation. Dark and Darker runs on Linux so it’s easy to hack, you’ll be fine.
not until the ban, no
It wasn’t even after.
it lost legit half its population and is now on life support
not that it matters, everyone is being baited into the wow token into vanilla is all it is
I’ve never seen hard evidence of it existing back then but I’ve heard a lot of anecdotes about it being a thing in later phases.
But yeah, I agree. I thinks it’s going to be big even without gdkp.
I logged into SoD 2 days ago and the population was booming I saw hundreds of people just in Org. It is not on life support lol
