I am, once again, in a guild where most people are older than me (I am in my mid 40s). I specifically searched for a guild of Vanilla players in order to have a nice experience in Classic and it turns out most of my guildies are 50s and up. It actually isn't all that surprising to find this demographic in MMOs, as you have pointed out. Older people tend to have grown children, many are retired and they love the social aspect of gaming. They have the time, the patience and love helping each other out. Playing Classic has been very pleasant so far.
Thankfully PvE servers don't seem to have had a steep drop off because we don't have to put up with cunt bags when questing.
Dude its going to have a bit of a steep off, but nothing more than what's bfa is getting atm, you remember BFA launch, Legion Launch etc.. Classic is way better at retaining players than launch of those expansions.
I think there will come a little drop off, then people will realize classic is way better mmo than retail and come back and it will grow in subs. Classic is like a fixed version of BFA tbh.
We don't know if the layers are going down. The only thing they said about them was one week ago, and was, exact words :
All realms have a single-digit number of layers. Most of them have a low single-digit number.
So, Classic killed retail WoW and now is slowly diying itself?)
good
You obviously only read what you wanted from the thread, but it certainly goes well with the hate circlejerk that caracterize MMO-Champ when it comes to Classic.
Servers still just as full as last week on the logging page. Still finding 35 lvl 2 characters at around 20h. Still about 20 to 30 seconds to fill a full page in my chatbox.
Both have been exactly the same for one week. When I read the official forums it's mainly people having fun, when I play it's mainly people having fun.
It seems that this forum lives in its personal alternative space.
Last night had a wailing caverns run that took over 2 hours... lol.. we all didnt know where to go, mage dcd after first biss and had to find replacement and guide him back to us. Some died after druid pulled extra mobs when we were trying to slip past them. Got lost and people died trying to run back and had to release again (druid ran out of seeds to rez). Had to find another dps in order to do murloc boss. What a mess. Lol.. that place is a fucking maze. Want to know the best part? No one raged at each other and we got through the dungeon and said good night.

Having played it, I know I'd play the absolute shit out of... I guess another weird fork with TBC onwards re-played.
They have all the kit and versions for it, run (yearly?) seasons, some small token for retail account usage for those that might care...
I dunno, would appeal to some for sure, not sure it would be a thing many would care for.

I wanted Classic. I am enjoying Classic. Five people I have known in the past have come back to it now. I highly doubt I will play Retail in the future ever again, I have what does it for me. I can see myself playing a min of at least a year. There will be a base for it always.

Well this is someone bitter and with a weird agenda. Shame.
