Why so few Realms?

[Galdor-maelstrom (Galdor)]

Why so few? Because all of these guys were wrong:

@Ladalrus-turalyon

Classic will wipe the floor with BFA. It’s inevitable.

@Williams-akama

WE told the modern WoW population this game is here to conquer.

@Moonuredps-sargeras

Classic wow brings in 5+ million subs.

@Abombanation-darkspear

There are millions waiting to play Classic it has a good chance of beating the 12.2 mil subs that WotLK had.

@Mogar-stormrage

But yes, Classic will very likely have several million players. Six might actually be a conservative number.

@Mogar-stormrage

First month, six months, a year, five years. Whether they do eventual TBC and beyond servers, or some form of Classic+, I can’t see Current WoW ever competing with the Classic servers.

Blizzard is in for a big surprise, as are the naysayers.

@Mogar-stormrage

I think he’s right. 30-40 probably. They’re going to use layering to have as few servers as possible. But you’re still talking squeezing millions of players into those servers. I also agree that’s low-balling it, as I don’t anticipate a big player dropoff.
