Some people just aren’t serious about Classic. I’m not going to condemn you for not sticking it out with the game for the long haul.

Idk play tbc or retail. Or just play the refresh server blizz will individually drop where it starts from the beginning again
PvP and alts are traditionally very good content. but nobody runs dungeons anymore cuz naxx patch mages drain many would-be actual players into boosting runs, and classic pvp doesn’t have great replayability. Everything gets instagibbed and there is no tuning with pvp in mind.
Better off accelerating toward TBC. Then all the players who want to stay in a sandbox can do so, and the rest can go to TBC where PvP and alts have much more replayability. Arena is pretty much as replayable as summoner’s rift, especially if they do it right with patches going through one at a time, and all the meta changes that go along with patch progression.
nah, rather move to tbc cause dungeon grouping will be active with blood elves and draenei are running around, plus I can run old raids in pug group in tbc server, I just leave wow classic and move on
Obtain full ret bis and then take screenshots of myself in Stormwind

Enjoy naxx and then log back in whenever i get the urge. Hopefully down the line Blizzard makes fresh classic servers. Nothing beats the experience when everyone starts at ground zero again.
most likely not, not a lot people are die hard for classic lol
This is what it’s all about, beautifully said brother. Even though I despise horde rogues with a passion, the path you travel is righteous and I am on it as well. See you at the finish line <3
Based on your assumption? The whole pserver scene is basically vanilla realms with some offbranching into wotlk and TBC.
As far as longevity and replayability goes, classic (or vanilla) far outshines TBC and Wotlk, with its very finite content.

There’s a ton of quests out there to do, I for one enjoy reading quest text and taking my time questing, rank 14 grind, other classes to level/gear, plenty of RP to be had on my rp server character. I find it hard to believe that I will run out of stuff to do anytime soon

Unsub and go play another game.
I’d rather play Phase 6 forever and Steam games than the incoming garbage that is Shadowlands.
Classic matters more than their experiments every expansion.

There’s no reliable data so it’s all guesses, assumptions. The assumption you’re making is that p-server players are a representative sample of the larger classic population and can be used to make assumptions about classic. I doubt that is true. If classic players are like p-server players then the vast majority won’t advance on to BC. They won’t continue playing on their classic servers either. They will push for a reset or a fresh classic server. If classic players are different than p-server players most will advance on to BC.
We all have our guesses and assumptions but until BC is released no one knows for sure.

So… in TBC?
In classic there is no “after P6”. It’s P6 all the way down.
My assumption is that even though we don’t know the numbers, Blizzard did. If old Vanilla wasn’t actually the most popular and by far the most requested, why is Vanilla what was made?
If it was BC or Wrath that was by far the most popular and was what the player base was asking for, why wasn’t BC or Wrath made instead?
People can spin things all they like and try to put that spin to suit their agenda, but I can imagine that if people had wanted BC so badly, BC is what would have been made, not Classic.
Vanilla servers were the most popular and requested for a reason. Classic servers were made, for a reason.
Have fun playing and experiencing the game on numerous characters on both horde an alliance side.
I didn’t enjoy BC when it was live and I don’t plan on playing the Classic version of it if Blizzard does release it. Many like it, that’s great. I hope Blizzard does make it for those who want it. But I didn’t like it.
I had more fun leveling numerous characters 1-60 than doing anything from 60-70. I had many characters at one point sitting at 60 because I just couldn’t bear doing BC. If level scaling did anything great for retail, it was giving us the option to skip BC entirely and go to Wrath instead.
Probably the same thing I’ve done on private servers the last decade or so.

Blizzard might have had slightly better numbers for p-server population. But they misinterpreted them. They used those numbers to estimate the number of classic players and it turned out those estimates were way off. So even with better numbers it’s still guess work. It turned out the number of people interested in classic was far greater than the p-server population.
Because it was the first in a series. Another assumption that people make is that when people said they wanted vanilla they meant they wanted vanilla and only vanilla and never any thing more. Some people who said they wanted vanilla meant they wanted BC or Wrath but thought asking for vanilla was more likely to happen and hoped it would lead to BC and Wrath. Some who said they wanted vanilla meant they wanted to replay the game from vanilla through Wrath.
We simply don’t know how many people there are in each category. We’ll see when BC comes out. I said I wanted vanilla but I really wanted vanilla, BC, and Wrath. And I like BC best and Wrath better than Vanilla. One thing though, I don’t make the assumption that what I want is what most people want. I realize the data doesn’t exist to support any of these assumptions. What you’re doing is mostly confirmation bias.
