So Vanilla Servers are Booming

[Kaleredar]

Thats better than some current online games can manage.

It's like a game that was developed for years and years as an AAA title that you can play absolutely for free would be popular.

Bliz can give as many bollocks tech reasons as to why they don't do this but 500k potential subs to play an old game is a lot of potential money (5 mil monthly or there abouts)
There's obviously a market there despite some idiots claiming there isn't.

Even if 500k is a legit figure, how many of those would be willing to actually pay to play it.

And infrastructure/development costs are also pretty immense

That level 1 to 60 grind with one or two buttons push is amazing game play.

Sure, it's about Vanilla for everyone and not about playing a pirated version at no cost.

Not sure if sarcasm or stupid >.>
There's legion private servers for those who don't like to pay or farm gold for tokens I'm sure.

Free shit get's you a lot of "customers", more news at 11.

This is why I am a firm believer that horses should be cremated, they can't be flogged as much that way.

[faithbane]

ca they open a <dead horse> subsection in the forums already..

you got numbers for vanilla servers? individual accounts?

there was a guy on subreddit who did a good bit of research into that, as recent as April this year.

If you don't know how to use Google i can assist you there.

They are booming? Okay, a server died, the other servers lost over half of their population in 4 months and most people on the developed servers are raidlogging supreme. Next?

We don't discuss private servers here
