Would this boost sub-numbers to WOTLK levels?

Short Answer: No Long Answer: No because people can get the original's for cheap to dam near free. Also I could be wrong but I don't see them doing a HD remake they are just making it easer to run on Win7/8.

Hell a modder with some free time could do a HD graphic pack for those and it wouldn't cost you $15 a month.

Hey Microsoft did a HD remake of Age of Empires and then charged $40 for it. Don't know how successful that was, but if it pays out, I can see other following suit.

Just as the numbers didn't drop by 50% over 4 years for a single reason, no single change is going to cause them to go back up.

But that was a one time flee. No one would spend $15 a month to play old games with HD graphics unless they was already paying for WoW.

That's interesting.

Nothing, short of F2P, will get "subs" that high ever again. Even if they made an expansion so good, every active player loved it and didn't complain at all.

[Marmot]

Making potential customers more aware of the game is the only thing likely to boost sub numbers at this point beyond returning players.

WoW will never see WotLK-level sub numbers again, even with going F2P.

Blizzard has said that there are probably more people out there who've played and quit than there are who've never played at all.

Personally, I suspect they're right.

[Darsithis]

No. A lot of players I know never even played the original games. Unless you came from that era, as I did, you wouldn't have much interest in it.

What about making WoW itself as rich as Vanilla/TBC/WotLK?

[madmanx]

Maybe if they included a HD version of the 70's Atari Table Tennis??

Honestly, why would outdated rubbish boost their numbers? HD or not....


I might be able to understand nostalgia in some areas. People dreaming about a time when they were young and beautiful, life seemed full of possibilities.... Being nostalgic about gaming takes a whole new standard in stupid though, it was SHIT and it is getting better by the second.

Super Nintendo was shit, Atari was shit, Warcraft 1, 2 and 3 were shit...even Vanilla was shit if you compare it to today.

Subs no, but if WoW went F2P probably everyone who at some point has been a subscriber would at least reinstall the game and check what's going on. And that's not a small number.

[Toiran]

WoW will never return to WoTLK levels as a subscription MMO no matter the incentive.

[A Dark Knight]

not a good idea at all, why would pay for a game i dont want to play, so i can play a free game?

please tell me about all the awesome features that vanilla had, that are missing in pandaria or wod?

Nope, the only thing that could do that would be a "WoW 2"..

[yjmark]

I think WC I, II, III HD remake would be cool, and I think it would generate some additional subs. But nowhere near WotLK numbers.
