Its somewhat confusing.
If players are leaving retail to make new characters on classic realms, what is that saying about decisions made effecting the direction of retail.
Seems to me the player base is speaking and once again into deaf ears. WOW is not some ADD game you just pick up to waste some time in.
Why Blizzard are you asking players to leave one version after 20 yrs and restart someplace new with little to no direction of its future?
Why cant we have the classic and retail exist side by side? A simple choice of speaking to whatever NPC to switch versions within our own account .
Remix was a cool idea especially cuz you got to keep the character in retail.
But classic versions as they stand now are dead ends, but doesn’t have to be.
People start on fresh and play both all the time. Fresh is new so everyone is flocking to it. They will quit and return to retail soon enough.
I play progression classic, retail, and now fresh era. there’s no conspiracy, people are allowed to like multiple versions of the game, and retail is currently between patches while fresh era is…fresh
Retail players treating Classic like it’s a vacation home is truly the darkest timeline. Soon it will just be a retro style spinoff rather than a recreation of the old game.
Who is leaving Retail to make new characters on Classic Realms?
Are they shutting shutting down retail or something?
People actively playing retail aren’t playing classic seriously
No one.
Its a fling on the nights when retail is done for them. Or cata.
Some have this game like a marriage. You only have the 1!
Nah…you can go play in the other games guilt free after pve/pvp goals met in cata/retail. Like me, I just need some BG hits in cata.
I don’t need to be there fulltiime.
then its back to silverpine.
