Yea, just because he failed after that, that means he wasn't lead of the greatest MMO ever made? Or he is lying about Blizzard expectations for Vanilla wow? And why do you think that he is 100% responsible for the failures in his later career?
I didnt write this number out of my ass... http://www.pcinvasion.com/ex-world-o...izzard-vanilla .
The topic is open because people want to discuss about it, and thats why forums exists... for discussion. If you are not interested on the topic, dont read? except if you somehow feel "offended" that this topic is so popular...
The trick of selling a FFA-PvP MMO is creating the illusion among gankers that they are respectable fighters while protecting them from respectable fights, as their less skilled half would be massacred and quit instead of “HTFU” as they claim.
Your statements are as absurd as those from Mark Kern. Why would Legacy make no profit with a double subscription? Why would Legion not sell premium copies because of Legacy? Why would the community split? Why would setting up more servers cost money? Why would nostalgia wear off? It's all conjecture and assumptions. You don't know nothing, try to bluff your way using all kinds of fallacies (appeal to authority the most, which is strange because Mark Kern is much more of an authority than you are).
I sure would love to know the values on the 'Y' axis on both those charts. For all we know, Vanilla WoW's highest peak may not even surpass retail WoW's lowest point.
EDIT: Hell, without a source, we can't even make sure if the graph is genuine or made in photoshop...

Legacy servers will not compete with retail ones.. there are 2 different playerbases. I dont think the LFR and flying mount players will be interested in legacy servers...I dont see how the "community" (what community? you mean population..) will be split. Vegetarians will sit on the table with vegetables and non vegetarians will go for the meat.
he is doing the same work though and he perfectly knows the costs of salaries and server hardware...except if blizzard work with aliens.

Bashiok was the first one. Ion came after - in fact, it's a quote made at Blizzcon. The fact that it's written and reported later doesn't make it a 2015 thing.
Secondly, it was an experiment which "they will use to go forward". The initial experiment was Isle of Thunder. Then it was Timeless Isle. In WoD, they planned to remove it entirely. Only when the community went all beserk did they change it.
This was my last reply to you about this. I honestly don't think you're here in good faith, so it's not worth my time anymore. My point was done, my sources were released, do whatever you want with the facts but don't expect people to blindly believe you.

Political left, right similarly motivated to avoid rival views
[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
But in this case, retail players are the vegetarians... these players will quit only because there is not a magic button to teleport them into dungeon...let alone the rest of the game... so dont worry, retail wow players will not get split..
and you can continue to believe that Blizzard work with alien technology, unknown to the rest of the developers of this planet and they cannot figure the cost...

Let's start zone-by-zone comparison.
Elwynn forest: you help at the Northshire abbey, investigate mines, defend a lumber mill against murlocks, fight Hogger. Same as vanilla.
Westfall: you fight against Defias brotherhood, get story for DM, gnolls, help against the murlocks at the lighthouse and find the Captain Sunders treasure. Same as vanilla.
Redridge: you fight against gnolls and orcs and save a guy from the orc cave. Same as vanilla.
etc. etc.
But you make it sound as all the zones were completely redesigned somehow.
Monk, I need a monk!!!
Double subscription? First of all, that would be a strange decision (do PvE and PvP servers have separate subscription?). Second, it's still the same thing. You won't pay the Legion subscription if you want to play Legacy, it's still 0 gain.
Why would Legion not sell premium? "Hey, I want to play WoW. I'd rather play Vanilla than that Legion casual crap, so why buy the box on release? I'll just wait for a discount, or wait for it to be baked into the baseline game, 'cuz I'm at least a little smarter than a brick".
Why would the community split? Err... Legion and Legacy run in parallel for two years. It is now autumn 2018. Both versions of the game run out of content. Blizzard is about to release a new expansion. Who is it aimed at? Legacy players who are burned out with Naxx and expect a vanilla-like game, or the filthy casuals who are burned out with Legion and expect another set of artifacts and other Legion-like features?
Why would nostalgia ever wear off? Umm... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! No, you're right, it won't. Ever.... I'm sorry, I don't know how to answer this one seriously.

yes they have redesigned... no nights, no weather effects, no more epic questlines (missing deplomat, videres elixir, onyxia questline, legend of stalvan, etc), no more die if you pull more than 2 mobs.. just a super linear, on rails, questing that you do with one button while pulling the whole zone...
yes the zone theme may not changed much, if at all, but all the rest have drastically changed...also where are the elite quests?
