Ghostile that's all subjective.

Based on the currently available metrics to gauge interest, probably not. Activity and engagement continues to be lower on Classic subforums / subreddit / etc. compared to Modern ones. It might dominate WoW Twitch viewership simply by virtue of Soda and Asmon accounting for like the 2/3rds of the WoW audience on Twitch. And currently it's still well below where BFA viewership peaked. Launch will be the true measure of that.
More importantly, they're part of a shared service. I think a lot of people are just going to seesaw back and forth as content patches and phases drop.
OSRS DID start out as a niche market, though. As for Classic (Vanilla version) you're currently at a stage where a lot of the QoL stuff that made the game smooth is missing as well as viewing content as it is. I'm not saying classic can't be successful but it is still a museum.

I think Classic will have a bout of popularity and then will become empty as a shell of the past it is. Because what's even the point of an mmo that will get no new content support? People will get bored of doing the same thing over and over. Once the last patch rolls over the game will slowly shrivel and die. If it isn't already, cause many will be rudely remembered of how boring and slow paced the combat is early on and how grindy and unrewarding the end game is. It is literally not worth it unless you are a hardcore fan of that.

Not a snowflake´s chance in hell.
Retail is boring atm, but by far not half as boring as classic will be.
I cant see that coming. See Classic as a safe harbour. Retail ist going to send latest patches. Younger Generations are going to play retail first and when they hit the point of *wow everything is stale and boring* they have the possibility to swap to the timelane of the game where everything matters. Even the useless talents have a purpose.
Its a win win market for blizz. Dont worry
In a weird way, yes. Typically the classes that were bad at pvp shined in pve, or vice versus. Or shined during leveling
Think of classic as three intersecting circles of pve, pvp, leveling and you’ll see it’s more balanced then vs now in that regard
In live, let’s not act like every class is great in pvp or pve. Or raiding.
Go ahead and enhancement shamans how good they are now vs classic

You even said it yourself, Gehco, all the QoL things aren't there which is what A LOT of people want.
QoL and anti-community elements is killing games.
Redroniksre, i said 8m because he said Classic was a niche market, we don't know that yet? It was an example.
No one knows if retail or classic is the niche market, YET.
Ion's plan:
Month 1: Hype Train, everyone resubs for Classic, "OH MY GOD LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS BOYS!!!". More servers get added to help with queues and congestion.
Month 2-6: Gradual falloff of MAUs playing Classic. A slow steady decline, resulting in some "dead" servers with very little AH activity.
Month 6: Ion opens up SERVER TRANSFERS for the people playing on above dead servers. Here's the amazing thing about Classic: 1-60 takes a while. So if you've put all that time in, a 25 dollar Server Transfer seems like a nice easy investment to continue to play their characters they've put so much time and effort into.
After that, we'll never know
We're all newbs, some are just more newbier than others.
Just a burned out hardcore raider turned casual.
I'm tired. So very tired. Can I just lay my head on your lap and fall asleep?

I’d hate to see how these people would be at older games like eq if that’s the case. Wow vanilla questing is as simple as it gets. It tells you where to go and what to kill.
Sure it doesn’t have a giant explanation point overhead but doesn’t that kind of cheapen the rpg aspect?
They are one in the same. World of Warcraft. Which server you play on doesn't matter much just like if you play retail or classic doesn't matter much. One pool. One game.
Riiiiiiiight, so better questing structure is killing the games? Better tracking coding is killing the games?
Those are just among the changes I praise moving forward, as well as dungeon finder. And if you claim that is 'anti community' then you're part of the problem the community had in the first place, for it didn't harm the community I was part of when it was added.

Dunno but most of Classic ended up with, if you didn't figure out the text, someone would haze you or others just say, 'Go to Thotbot' - of course, there are the ones helping you out too.

Of course not. Classic has 0 chance overtake retail.
It is hard to understand why this question even exist...
I think we will agree to disagree and that’s fine. Personally, I like the older quest structure where you have to read and figure it out vs modern wow where it legit tells you where exactly to go and hand holds you three.
It’s babysitting questing vs actual exploratory questing. I personally prefer the older system
