You say people want permanent wotlk servers but, have you seen how dead wotlk is right now? Each server has decreased by at least 40%. Permanent wotlk servers would be a bust.
This is coming from a person who has 12 80s and about 160 days played time just in WOTLK alone (according to my details)
playing on a server with there is no new content being released is rather boring after a while. even if you start a new character your progression is:
level to 80 → pvp → gammas → icc w/ 25% buff
(actually if you have a AV weekend in the mix “level to 80” and “pvp” might be the same step)
No people do quit when the gear they expect to have forever will be replaced. Same happened in original vanilla where I think after naxx was out there were some leaks of tbc. We can see that in the chain of events we had after trial a resurgence of people with the number dropping off because people love wrath. After the announcement that there is no plans for wrath era right now the playbase did drop off.
So no everyone is not breaking for cata everyone is breaking because there will be no wrath.
And all of you crying about a perma server…did it classic as well. Nice era servers you got going! Only needed a whole new system to keep it alive. Bottom line to all the wrath era shills…theres a home for you. Its called the private server you loved and played on before this. Quit bloating my blizz app with more useless wow icons!
Aw i see so your input is always about your exp on EU servers. Got it. Checked your post history for NA. Always a bait, or just a look at me for a second, never anything with substance. So either you come to these forums to troll, or selecting your region is too hard. (Archaic design LOL)
I personally feel like it is because alot of the classic players are on hiatus currently. I mean, ICC was finished pretty quick. And ruby sanctum was boring when it was released back in original wrath in 2010. So maybe this might be why.
Alot of players probably signed off of wow for a bit once ICC was finished.
Or we just see the writing on the wall since we didn’t get TBC era either while they keep making various classic iterations.
Outright announcing it as early as they did was a big mistake though, especially combined with releasing SoD. People don’t want to continue playing if they don’t feel like there’s a future for them in the game, understandably so.
