There aren't too many versions of wow.There aren't enough versions of wow people want to play.That's the key.
They did remove LFR from classic, which probably turned a lot of people off to the game
the question is what people want?Soon Classic will have caught up to retail and then what?The classic Servers should have stopped at WotLK.
They need to stagger the releases better. I actually wanted to play Mists, but I gave up on it when I found out the retail patch was coming a couple of weeks later. There was just no way I could do both at once.Ideally classic releases would happen during retail's .5 or early .7 patches.
Mogushan is a relatively weak raid, especially compared to the rest of pandaria. Add to that the GDKP controversies and both AQ and Manaforge pulling some people away. It's really not surprising.I know personally, I'm waiting for Throne of Thunder to bother with MoP classic.
No !@#$ing &*!@ literally who cares about the 30th rerelease of regular classic, anniversary is a wildly boring waste of time. MOP is good though released at quite an unfortunate time with the retail patch soon after, def shoulda sent mop at the end of august like initial advertising said they would
It's almost like an expansion that would've been rather popular among us Retail folks got released at the literal worst possible time for us Retail folks so most of us can't really dedicate time to playing MoP.
I honestly think we only need like, Vanilla, Wrath and live servers, idk how it would be a few years down the line when there's nothing to do in those expansions but those two are the ones people seem to want the most.
I think remix was a mistake. It scratched the nostalgia itch for veteran players, and settled the curiosity of newcomers. I'm playing it now because I dropped remix at about level 30 because I didn't want to level anymore.
classic feels like such a waste of time, and honestly the leadership needs work. LFR should have stayed as well. not to mention theres a new season on retail so what do you expect, most people dont take classic seriously.
Yes. I'm a retail andy and raid there. My husband and friends are classic andies and prefer that. So I play both versions and it's a struggle sometimes.
I was gonna play MoP Classic but with the Midnight reveal around the corner I wanted to wait and see if they announced something that'd piss me off enough to quit the game. If Midnight looks good I'll main MoP Classic until it's out (And maybe beyond because it's my favourite expansion).
World's weirdest take. The entire point is that you get to play the version you enjoy, who cares if there's millions on any one version? Not to mention the fact that MoP isn't nearly as popular among the "Classic Only" crowd as Vanilla, BC, and Woltk. The most popular raid was SoO, the last phase. And 11.2 just came out and Retail/Classic cross-over is high and people jump between versions as they get done with content. More version, more content, more ways to play are all wins for players.But I do agree that staggering the releases better would lead to more cross-over play, more subs, and more players on any one version at a time. MoP came out far too close to 11.2.
Releases MoP as season 3 comes out, is surprised people aren't playing MoP.
I would affirm that there are not too many versions. Perhaps a better stagger of content would be worthwhile. I believe that having my personal favorite of Season of Discovery worked like a retention mechanic for Blizzard. By my being able to jump around between Wrath Classic, Dragonflight, and then Discovery, I did not lapse my subscription. I do not feel that I would have been as invested in Cataclysm Classic or even The War Within. Dragonflight (and now The War Within) marks the first time I can recall staying actively subbed for the entirety of an expansion life. Wrath Classic and Discovery made that a reality. Classic has a charm to it. Wrath and Discovery both represent better balanced classes while still in a more original feeling of the world. If anything, I’d love to see the new server format the Chinese 20th Anniversary brought to the rest of the world.
No, there should be more.
Yes there are
Obviously the numbers go down the more versions of WoW there are. It doesn't even have anything to do with WoW, it'd apply to any game or anything in life requiring a choice to make. If a game has X amount of players and the dev then decides to create 2 versions of that game, obviously the X amount of players is going to get halved and split up between those 2 versions. And if you have 10 versions of the game, that playerbase is going to divided times 10 as well.Ignore the numbers, if enough people enjoy it to keep a version alive it's fine.
