Verasalle: CEO’s who do not play the game are totally clueless.
Lol. Oh boy, I hate to break it to you, my friend. One of the current CEOs, Mike Ybarra, does indeed play wow (retail). Not sure if he does any more, but he used to stream wow regularly.
They did Classic dirty with the preposterous clone fee just to keep playing the game. They spawn killed the Classic servers and at least they realize it. The sooner they can launch the new Classic seasonal server type the better.
If you don’t want to start from scratch and level a TBC alt (facing the quite extensive rep grind for attunement even after hitting 70) then I could see someone playing classic while they wait for raid night in TBC.
I am 4/5 T4 and one piece of T5. Just need the Gruul shield now and I am done with needing anything from content other than SSC and TK. Why not raid log and play classic season of mastery during the off nights?
I mean I will help others in the guild if they need kara, but most non raid nights it is only 4 or so online.
because BC is dead because of servers falling off. Everyone that xfered did already for the most part. Those who didn’t xfer quit. Got to cash in that sweet new classic money
There’s a not insignificant group of people who have played vanilla pservers for years. Many of them played vanilla classic. Pservers often do a 4 month ‘season’ - from MC to Naxx. This is the population they are after.
Will it affect TBC classic - maybe but only slightly. Will it affect retail - probably not.
On my TBC classic server there’s a spectrum from raid loggers to people who don’t raid at all. There’s a reasonable population levelling alts. I’ve also met quite a few people who are new to warcraft - which surprises me. My guess is a lot of the raid loggers will play the season of mastery as well - while a lot of others will stick to TBC classic.
I did a poll of 100 players in my guild - most want to play classic servers until the end of wotlk - some would like a couple of other expansions. A lot would also like to see modified classic servers in each ‘season’ - like being able to play deathknights and monks during a vanilla season - although they realize that may involve a lot of development time and opposition from others.
I think it’s an act of desperation and I think if there aren’t actually changes made like legitimate changes that are actually going to change the way the game plays.
Sure people will have this whole oh yeah classic fresh for about a month and then it’s just going to die
this makes alot of sense. I love tbc classic personally, for all of the old game that I remember and still enjoy today. My thoughts on the classic season are great, but yea it could make pop go down even more… hmm. I think the best way to compensate is to keep doing events like brewfest and summer festival, things to make tbc feel lively.
Because tbc is not a fun expansion and has close to 20% of the player base that classic did. Between shadowlands and tbc blizzard is lower in subs than during WoD wouldn’t you do something so that you don’t have to lay off more employees.
You do realize that the Classic servers have been dead since TBC released, right?
Yeah they dont want to play on a server thats going to be stuck on p6 forever. Doesn’t mean they wont play a new server. Mmorpgs always have a higher player count at the start of content cycles.
You got anything else to add, or would you like to dig up any more week old comments to try your “well acshully” posts on?
I’d still prefer it to not to come out in the middle of TBC, but hopefully you are right and it won’t damage BC.
By the way how come in your picture you look like a draenei but it says undead warlock below it ?!
Blizzards incompetent and thinks more people are going to play SOM than actually will. I’ll be surprised if we have more than one season of classic. They aren’t doing nearly enough to draw players back in. As of right now SOM is pretty much going to be completely dead by month 2 or three.
Imagine raid logging in 3 different versions of the game simultenously!
I think a lot of players are misinterpeting what SoM actually is. Everyone seems to think its “Fresh Classic”. When its more like a speed run, litterally built for raid logging.
SoM is a race to 60, then raid log. It wont take up any time from TBC raid logging.
I can’t help but laugh we have 4 different versions of WoW.
Why not release every single expansion alone lmao. I wanna play WoTLK and MoP.
0.o must be a bug in the forums, looks like a retail undead to me.
Company earnings report.
Sorry but raiders who raidlog and just play to raid are going to play season of mastery whenever they dont have to raid (if there is interest) and keep on raiding on tbc. I doubt this will affect anything but people having something to do on raid off days.
What’s wrong with raid logging?
