If blizzard can figure out a way to add new content but retain the same systems that made Vanilla what it was then I think it will be a huge success. If their plan is to just have us replay the same content then it will grow stale and eventually die out.
I think Blizz sees this as a really easy way to score some cash. Start with a nostalgic players base, add a game that was made 14 years ago sprinkle in the fact that many of those players now have jobs and money and BAM! Instant success!
Legion is the worst expansion

Classic will probably explode during its first month of people wanting to try and recapture the felling of playing wow as teens.
It won't.
However, I don't think it will fail. It will probably have a small but dedicated playerbase
This world don't give us nothing. It be our lot to suffer... and our duty to fight back.
LOL, yes ofc it was. You prefer useless talents, imbalanced classes, old graphics, basically nothing to do except grinding timbermaw rep, farming soul shards, buying regents before raids, huge 40 man mess raids with a massive gearing curve, taking 30 mins to sort out groups due to group only buffs, 0 bag space etc etc....
Yes ofc
My theory: We'll get about 2 million at launch, give or take a few hundred thousand. After three months, half of those will have dropped off. After six months, at least another couple hundred thousand. At that point, things will stabilize and we'll have around a million (again, give or take a few hundred thousand) consistent players of Classic.
Is that a success? Considering they said they'd run it if only 'tens of people played it', yes, very much so.
I would bet that of the people who think they want Classic and actually create a new character:
20% will quit before level 20.
60% will quit before level 40.
85% will quit before level 60.
90% will quit before they're successful in raiding.
Maybe that last 10% will sustain the game mode. You could still be talking about tens of thousands of people, theoretically.
Yes, i think at the start it will be sucessful and quite a few will play but numbers will dwindle as the initial craze wears off and most see how terrible it can actually be. A few hardcore will stay and finish the content and will progressively lose interest as theres nothing else to do, and will only log in sporadicly to roll some faces in pvp with their OP gear.
Without content support the game will die population wise in a couple of years and will be basically a maintnance game much like Guild wars 1 is these days.

Why is it that every time I see threads like these, they assume that people already haven't tried private servers and decided that they like it?
Couldn't give a rats ass about BfA kiddies crying about class homogenization or new models. Keep playing retail if you want your garbage azerite gameplay.
Classic isn't for you to begin with, you already have your game.

Pre-Cataclysm Azeroth is new for those who haven't seen it.
i predict big surge at the start and if blizzard creates more servers for it a few months later when the initial hype has died down we will get a sea of dead servers
No........Vanila was shit but the memories i made will live on. I really hope that just a tiny bit of that community feeling will comeback. However i will a also say yes there is alot of people with rose tinted glasses who will be in for a rude Awakening
Depends what you expect for it to be considered a failure or success.
I think it will be successful to some degree. It will not be a "messiah", its gonna be something for those who craved and wanted to "go back in time for good".
At start plenty will play, then probably like 10-20% of what was rolled will be active. It will not be super popular as a lot of people will get burned on how demanding the game will be and not being able to do all and quick etc. It is a time investment, so prolly a lot of will be disappointed.
It will remain with stable player base. If not for shit what the prv servers are I would prolly play them, but I just wait for Blizz edition and I am sure there are quite a few in same state.
There will be high end guilds etc. just at a smaller degree, no one really (c'mon!) is expecting Classic to be huge.
If youre going with "wont reach 500k" but will be half of that - it will be successful, actually.
For all what it is worth, I really want to experience classic since I skipped both classic and tbc.
I can only long for the wotlk day's since bfa and legion couldn't keep me interested and leave me ubsubbed within 2 months.
