Ive posted this before, but of the 6 or so people ive added to real id since classic started only 1 is still playing. Everyone else has been off for at least a week now. It seems 60 is just kind of the end point for a lot of people.

and where are you getting these numbers since blizzard have not published anything, numbers from some random site mean nothing.
if there was that many players subbed just due to classic blizzard wouldnt hesitate in posting those numbers but they dont post anything anymore apart from the bare minimum

I'd argue that a better poll would read as such...
[ ] I subbed for Classic and I am renewing. (still enjoying Classic play)
[ ] I subbed for Classic and am not renewing. (it was fun while it lasted, but grew bored with it)
[ ] Already subbed for retail & playing classic and retail both. (Living in the past and the present)
[ ] Already subbed for retail & playing retail only. (Classic/Vanilla is dead to me)
[ ] Already subbed for retail & playing classic only. (Classic has made WoW fun again, and I've not touched my Retail since release)
Had over an year of sub before classic. Playing both.

I was already subbed but I am starting to feel the fatigue set in. I will keep playing it for sure because I want to get to 60 on at least 1 character (42 right now) but man. Lot of other games coming out that are fighting for my attention now. I have been having a blast reliving the past though. Made me remember how much I truly love this game and has even resparked a lot of my love for retail.
Let me show you the difference between numbers from random site and actual data.
This statement is pulled out of your ass.
Nielsen Holdings plc (NYSE:NLSN) announced it has completed its acquisition of SuperData ResearchThis is reliable data.In 2018, American Marketing Association ranked Nielsen number 1 among the top 50 Market Research Firms in the United States.
it is not reliable data as it does not come directly from blizzard, blizzard dont publish sub numbers anymore so how can a random site not involved with blizzard have accurate information, even in the full yearly financials it does not give any information to even estimate sub numbers or income.
Classic has brought some players back for a limited time but it wont keep many players for long.

"How we do what we do
Through proprietary data partnerships we collect point-of-sale and event data from publishers, developers, and payment service providers. This allows us to base our analyses on the monthly spending of over 160 million unique, paying digital gamers, worldwide. This makes us the only provider to offer insights into the age of personal media using transaction-level data that is truly comprehensive and cross-platform."
Maybe this helps you understand how they gather that data, it's quite easy to understand actually.
Do you know what website he gets his information from? You should look into it. It's a legit website, and not a fucking random article off Forbes. You're so angry though bro, why is that? I rarely post here yet when I do I always see you furiously typing away how everyone is a moron or other insult. Life isn't so bad bro, step away from the computer for awhile. Now Ill wait as you reply smashing your chubby fingers on the keys to tell me how retarded I am. Actually better yet I'll just drop an ignore on you. Life is so much better when not having to even hear from people like yourself. Probably why I rarely come around this toxic place anymore. So go head get the last word in bro. Yell to the wind how wrong I am! Rabble rabble rabble.

First off. I do want separate subs if that means my own sub drops because I quite frankly don't give a shit about BFA players like they don't about classic ones. And if that means we lose people playing both, I'm game.
Second, you can check the website he linked. It's legit. You can see where they get their info from, it isn't a random forbes article. As for the man himself I dont know him or his past, I just know the site. I also know every WoW eceleb is despised by people here which always made me chuckle. Theres never been one that this community doesnt shit on. Be it Preach, Asmongold, Swifty, or even Belluar now. It's funny.
"I'm gonna insult the hell out of you with my post after asking you why you're so angry!" Typical. Regardless, it's a third party website and not Blizzard themselves. They base things off conjecture and not facts. It's that simple.

Blizzard only release revenue numbers anymore. They never release sub numbers. So based on how that company does things, they're making assumptions based on revenue and disregards Blizzard's other income. Blizzard makes money from subs, the in-game shop, hearthstone, and Overwatch. So there is absolutely no way for that website to accurately say what Blizzard sub numbers are.
Yup, as i thought, you didnt still understand how they do it. They collect the data the reverse way, example: they have the amount of transactions from paypal to blizz, and/or they have the data from sites that sell gametime cards, etcetcetc
It may not be from the horses mouth, but in this case it's pretty accurate since the company is actually reliable.
For me it's simple, i would be playing but because the server i'm on is so full, i can't quest without having to fight over every mob ... and that's just not fun. And yeah, there are only 3 EU-EN PvE realms, it's not like i have much of a choice there....so i just level by killing random mobs while rested...i'm 41 now, and i guess imma hit 60 in 2-3 months or so. Really nothing like the experience i had in late Vanilla on a low-pop realm, lol. I used to run into a same-level player once in a blue moon in most zones, now there's people EVERYWHERE thanks to the questing addons, lol, even on the most unpopular zones for questing like Swamp of Sorrows on the Alliance side, haha.
