Rofl.

Tell that to the 10 million lost subs.

That’s the biggest issue. For every 10 people they lose they add…no one.

They can’t seem to realize how to retain players, let alone add new ones.

While WotLK wasn’t necessarily bad by any means. I think people forget the impact the story of the Lich King had going from Warcraft 3 through WotLK. The peak had a lot to do with the culmination of a story spanning about a decade.

Also, there really weren’t other competitors worth jumping on board with back then either. We also had the introduction of social media and many other things tying the world together socially, which began a decline in mmorgps due to not having that shiny niche of connecting with people from all over the world/country.

Just think a lot of people are romanticizing WotLK just as they did TBC.

But that is just my personal take. If we were to expand on classic id rather it be expanded from vanilla. WotLK is really just retail-lite.

Very true. Blizzard has a BAD habit of just cannibalizing their own playerbase.

This game has MILLIONS less active subscriptions now than it had in Cataclysm. Nobody cares how many unique players have tried the game since then. In terms of active subscriptions, this game has fallen on its face compared to 10-15 years ago.
